riding along with Ghalkley AIagill, in Sole
bury township, his coat, unknown to
him, caught fire from lighted cigar which
he had in his mouth aud said friend made q
very narrow escape from being badly burned.
Before the flames could be extinguished, a
buster" and undercoat were ruined
Chalkiey had his hands burned somewhat in
smothering the fire with blanket. The
friend occupied hot position, but came out
pretty well, SO far as saving his own body
from harm was concerned.

MIR. John Foran. freebooter from the
First Ward, made two ''qaeer statements
at the recent meeting of the Board Of Free
holders, one of which we wish to correct. =
The first was that The Beacon is Republican
paper. This is news, at least. The second
was that The Beacon had three times the cif-
culation of The RECORD. This statement is
untrue 1t neither has three times nor twice
the circulation of THE RECORD We be.
lieye its total circulation is so somewhat larger
than ours, but as to the local and county cir
culation we do not believe there is any ma
terial difference. We make this statement
simply for the purpose of correcting an asser-
ton made in SO public manner that not to
contradict it, is to assent to it, and to leave
the impression ON the public mind that THE
RECORD has but little value as an advertising
medium.

MEETING OF THE BOARD OF Freehold
ERs.--At the last session Of the New Jersey
Legislature, u law was passed requiring men,
bers of the various Boards Of Freeholders to
take an oath OF Office before entering upon
the discharge Of their duties. The law alsu
provides that said oath shall be- administered
by the presiding Judge Of the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions of each county. Chief Justice
Beasley is the presiding officer lin law) Of our
County Courts, and therefore he was consid-
cred the proper person t6 administer the oath
to the new Board. The Board met in the
Court House, at II o'clock on Wednesday
morning according to law, and after the
Clerk of the old Board had called the roll,
George Bruner was appointed temporary Di-
rector, and Joseph G. Farley temporary Clerk
A vote was then taken and it was decided
that the members of the new Board should
proceed to Trenton by rail at 1870, and APP
pear before the Chief-Justice for the purpose
of taking the oath Of Office. This was accord
ingly done.
Upon the return of the Board in the even
ing, brief meeting was held at 8 o'clock,
aud permanent organization effected as fol-
lows:
Director--George Bruner, of Bethlehem.
Clerk--W illiam D. Bloom, of Alexandra.
County Attorney-A. e. Sanderson, of Rar
itan. Samuel K. Perry was also nominated
fol Attorney, and received four votes.
The salary of the County Collector was
then fixed at $500 per year in addition to the
per centage upon the State.tax. aud William
w, Sweazey was elected Collector There
was an effort made to reduce the Collectors
salary to $500 per year, eight members voting
for the reduction.
Mr. Sanderson then administered the oath
of office to the new Clerk, who, upon taking
his seat, made a neat acknowledgement of the
favor the Board had conferred upon him.
There was a move at this stage of the pro-
ceedings TO adjourn until next morning, but
the question of raising sufficient sum for
running the county machinery for the coming
year first prevailed. Mr.. Fackenthall moved
that $4,000 be raised, urging that if any
money should be left over out of that amount
it could be applied to the liquidation of the
county debt. He was opposed by Messrs.
Farley, Jesse Sinclair, and others, who sug-
gested $4,000, and upon a vote being taken
the latter sum was found to have the majority
of advocates. The superintendent of this
sum will be found hereunder. y
Mr.. Farley stated that the county debt had
been reduced $4,000 the last year, which we
consider very good showing.
AS the hour was growing late it was resoly-
ed to adjourn until ten o'clock Thursday
morning.
Upon reassembling at half past ten, Thurs
day morning, the Clerk called the roll and
found all the members present
The appropriations were then made as fol-

The County Collector was required to give
bond n the sum of $150,000. committee
consisting of w. J. Leigh, q. f. Hart and Jo-
seph G. Farley was appointed to wait upon
the Collector and receive his bond.
1t was voted that the Sheriff be allowed 10
cents a meal for boarding prisoners. AS
some of our neighborng counties pay seven
teen and twenty cents for the same, besides
paying the Sheriff for taking care of the Jail
and keeping 1t clean, we think our new Board
is quite economical enough in the matter.
An effort was made to establish uniform
rate of payment for mechanics and laborers
employed upon county work. After much
debate it was decided that common laborers
shall be paid $3.50 per day, ten hours to con-
sttute days work Carpenters and masons
are to receive two dollars per day, no distinc-
ton being made between the two trades.
Hand aud team will receive $3.50 per day.
Painters, So per day.
Moved~by Mr.. Farley that the Clerk of the
Board be allowed $500 per day for his SER
vices, but afterwards amended is motion by
substituting 500. W. P. Sinclair moved
that the salary be $3.50 for the years service,
and this latter motion prevailed.
/ The Finance Committee was instructed to
borrow $4,000 in such sums as they may
deem proper.
Messrs. Fackenthall, Aller and Polhemus
were appointed committee to inspect an un-
used road in Delaware township upon which
are some unsafe bridges, and report at the
next meeting. * rs
On motion of Mr.. Fackenthall, bill of ter

services in going with the Board to Trenton

#Et For THE RECORD.
The HunterdOn Democrat of the 10th
inst, refers to the age of Grace Britain be-
ing 104 years old, and says it got its informa-
tion from the best of sources, and there is no
doubt at all that it is authentic. In this the
Democrat think, is mistaken, and that her
age is 101 years and months. This infor-
nation is obtained from the old family Bible
in the possession of William Rittenhouse, at
Frenchtown, in which her name and birth is
recorded. Date of this old Bible published
1772. This is the authority of the Lambert
vile papers given to them by Reuben P. Ely,
of Lambertville. If the Democrats authority
is better than the above it will be accepted by
all. Where the Republican got its informa-
ton, do not know, but it is correct with
one exception, that is the day of the month
when Grace Britain was born. 1t should
have been the 2Sth of October, instead of the
both as the Republican had it /; and also she
lived in Pennsylvania a one time. AS to the
age of Mrs. Katurah Case, have no written
authority, but her daughter, Mrs. Frank
Hart, who lives ia Lambertvile, says her
mother will be 81 years old the 18th day of
June next, and thinks she is not mistaken in
her age. ~
