We have receive from Mr.. w. o. Nc
Dowell, secretary of the New Jersey Associ-
alton, fac-simile copy of the New Jersey
Journal, of the issue of August s, 1881. This
paper is still published at Elizabeth, and is
the Oldest newspaper in New Jersey. At the
time of the issue of August 8, 1881, the print
ing establishment had been removed from
Elizabeth to Morrstown, on account of the
presence of the British army. The paper is
mainly taken up with accounts of the war
then going on between England and the Col
onies. We find, however, the following ad-
vertisement in 1t, which is OF local interest. 1t
is scarcely necessary to say that Coryells

In the year 1862, soon after active fight
ing had been commenced between the Union
and Confederate armies Jacob D. Apgar, an
apprentice of the Hunterdon Democrat, un-
der Adam Bells, who was then its editor and
proprietor, answered the call for three years
men and enlisted in Capt. Lambert Boeman's
Company of the 18th N. j. Regiment. In one
of the desperate battles in which this regi-
ment engaged, the young printer. Apgar, was
killed. We believe it was after Captain Boe-
man had been made Major of his regiment
and If our memory serves us right, both were
killed in the same battle Last week, one day.

Next Monday will be day of agony to
the Democracy of this county. On that day
Convention will be held to decide whether
the present caucus system shall continue or
the delegate and county convention plan of
nominating candidates be adopted. So far as
we can see the drift, 1t is almost unanimously
in favor of the caucus system. The fellows
who have been handling the money and
drinking the whiskey of candidates, have no
idea of transferring that delightful right of a
freeman to delegate at acounty convention
and the more honorable part of the party feel
that there are more chances of corruption in
county convention than in caucus. But
the better class of Democrats ought to be
able to nominate delegates who cannot be
corrupted. If there are not enough honorable
men left in the party to control the more VIC
ious element, the former class had better ask
for their letters of dismission and join some
more reputable organization.
Meetings to elect delegates to the county
convention will he held ON next Saturday,
from to 8 P. NJ, in the different townships.
In this city, the places are respectively, John
Foran's, in the First Ward C. w. Kitchin's,
Second Ward, and the York st. House, Third
Ward.

1T was only few days ago that we pub
lished an account of Mr.. Samuel G. Hoppock's
horse getting his hind foot fast in his mouth,
and we thought the accident perfectly unique,
but it is not now, If it was then. A Lancaster
horse, not to be outdone, has even improved
on the act of our Lambertville horse. Says a
Lancaster paper
IS A few days ago, great racket was heard
in the livery stable of G.. w. Zecher, Lancas-
ter, which upon investigation was found to be
caused by horse belonging to Adams Ex-
press Company, lying down with one of its
hind feet wedged in its mouth. 1t required
the united strength of several men, using
levers, to pry the horses mouth open wide
enough to get it's foot out, and before they
succeeded in doing it two of the horses teeth
were knocked out. The poor brute would
soon have strangled to death had he not been
promptly relieved, and it was nearly half an
hour after he was relieved before he could
rise to his feet. 1t is supposed that the horse
threw his foot forward to strike at the flies,
and at the same time threw his head back
wards, biting at them, thus opening his
mouth and "putting his foot In it, The en-
tire hoof was in the horses mouth, the teeth
being sunk into the flesh above the hoof al
most, if not, altogether to the bone. The
teeth that were loosened by the accident were
replaced and driven back into their sockets,
but whether they will stay there is not
known The horse was valuable one, re-

MIR. v. R. Mathews has leased of Mr..
Gervas Ely, the land at the foot of York st.,
in this city, for period of ten years, and is
about to erect market house thereon. The
city fathers having offered the city lot for
sale, Mr.. M. has decided to run an "inde-
pendent line." The location is good one in
many respects and we hope he may be sue
cessful in his undertaking. We learn that
the land leased to Mr.. Mathews is claimed by
the city, it having been bought by the city
authorities for the sum of one dsllar at a
sheriff's sale, some years ago. No deed, how
ever, can now be found for it, and there is no
evidence that the consideration money was
ever paid.
P.S.-Since the above was in type we learn
that the record of the deed has been found in
The County Clerks Office, and there is now no
question as to the ownership of the property.
What Mr.. M. will now do we have not learn
