A REMARKABLE FAMIL Y.
THE M0THBR OF TWENTY-FOUR
CHILDkEN--A MAN NEVER FROM
HOME

Correspondence of the Philadelphia Times.
LAMBERTyILLE, N. j., April "A
ride of an hour brought TINES
representative to The little village Of
Norton, in this county. Merton
contains a remarkable family. Ia
the doorway of small, low-roofed
dwelling stood a tall, well-preserved
woman. 81 am looking for wo-
man 81 years old, who has raised
.wenty-four children and is still in
vigorous health" was the first qrery
Il suppose you refer to me- she
said 81 am of that age"
She was apparently enjoying the
best of health. In all her long life
she said she had never been sick
but one day. Brought up on farm
and injured to the rouge work Incl
dent to farm life, this woman had
reared the extraordinary large fam
lily of twenty-four children, twenty
Of whom are still alive. The Oldest
is Go, and resides on cleanly-kept
farm a mile or two distant from the
homestead. The youngest is 80,
and is engaged in grape culture at
Hammondsport, N. Y. The entire
twenty children are in splendid
health. OF the four who are dead,
three met their death by accident,
while the fourth died of yellow fever
in Memphis two years ago. The
mother still does all the house work,
milks four cows daily, and takes the
produce to market. She is the fin
ancier of the family, and declares
that she needs no lawyers to keep
her affairs in order. Every SABBATH
finds all quiet about the farm, and
every member of the circle is requi-
red to attend the quaint old Meth
odist Church morning and evening.
"Is your husband living" was
asked.
"No sir; he died five years ago"
"Who is the man then OF whom it
is reported that he is 81 years old,
and yet cuts two cords of wood
every day."
"Oh," said she, as smile lit up
her face, "that must be brother
Jake. He's out FOUNDER chooping
away for dear life"

tweuty-fiye miles. He had mover
been outside of Hunterdon county.
II care nuthin' about seem the
world, sir. My own little village
here, and my small gathering of true
friends, is all | desire. | read the
papers regularly, and | find that
there is heap of pickering aud
strife outside which we avoid in our
quiet home. | remember a good

chuckled, as though 81 years did
not bring him into the period OF
hoary hairs and declining days.

AT the Democratic State Convention held
at Trenton on Wednesday of last week. Geo.
c. Ludlow, of Middlesex, was nominated for
Governor, after a very exciting aud turbulent
contest. Ludlow was the candidate of the
Estate House Ring" and although II was ev-
ident that Cleveland was the choice of the
Convention if fair play had been gwen, the
shrewd manipulatiens of the rings wire
pullcrs finally succeeded in giving him a ma
jorify.
Personally, Mr. Ludlow is said to be man
of good character, and fair abilities. He is a
native Of this county, having been born at
Milford, jnst fifty years ago. He is a gradu-
ate Of Rutgers College, at New Brunswick,
aud is lawyer of excellent standing. He
was elected to the Senate from Middlesex in
1876, and the following year was chosen Pres
ident of the Senate.
The Democrats Who wish to be ruled by
the three or four gentlemen who draw prince
ly salaries as State House officers. will vote
for Mr.. Ludlow Those who want TO have
voice in making nominations may not feel
quite SO willing.

HOW TO
GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how to get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnishing?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; see what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. If samples can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants SO
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality;
where prices are lowest;
where most care is taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
Is not satisfactory.
Thereno matter where
you are-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk;
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car
riage than the money you
save in the price.

CHILLED STEEL PL0W

ItsweIght win be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles
A first-class Steel Plow, made in the or
binary way, full rugged, retails for twenty-five
dollars Inferior steel Flows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars
The price of our new Pillow will be but
Seventeen Dollars, and it will be the
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds Of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
1t will scour In soils where all steel plows
and all other pl0ws have hitherto proved
failure.
With this Pillow will be introduced CORFU
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point ON which
we have also obtained Patent, and which is
also great Improvement, both as regards
strength and weas.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to take
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and 1t can always be kept on line with the
Pillow.
The wheel win run under the beam or one
side Of 1t as desired, and always kept IN line.
The beam is adjustable for Spring or Fail
Flowing, and also for two or three horses
The handles can be adjusted to accommo-
date man or boy, on the same Plow.
1t is perfect Piow.
Wooden beams are going out Of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam is the necessity Of the day. It
isthree times as strong and very much lighter
than any other style.
When zoe say Mold board is chilled, the
farmers know it Is So
We do not palm on on them composition
of various metals and call 1T chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but we VIII pay the Railroad Freight.
We propose to place this Pillow in the hands
Of Farmers as near the cost OF manufacture
as possible.
1t WIN be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
1t shall also be the cheapest
Persons therefore who are not willing to act
as agents on the principle that q q nimble six
pence is better than slow shilling need not
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission All sales absolute.
sw- This is the only steel chilled Plow in
the World.
Steel costs several times more than Iron.
But this Pillow, fun rugged, by giving small
discounts can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare this price with that Of any Iron plow
ever made.
1t Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at I'VE dollars and half.
Where there are no agents we VIII, on ne
