violates the law and sells his vote,
and that vote reader, may jeopardize
interests Of vital importance to you
and your country. Reform in this
matter cries aloud. The intimidation
and arrests in Philadelphia by the
"Committee of One Hundred" and
Trenton guarding its ballot box also,
are examples Burlington could follow
to an advantage. 1t has been sug-
gested that at the coming spring
elections a committee composed Of
good men of both parties should be
appointed to guard our ballot box
from fraud of every character, and
upon this question we believe there
would be an unanimous "amen."
THE LAST OF MORTALITY.
Within the venerable walls of the
Orthodox Friends Westinghouse in
this city, very large assemblage was
present on the morning of Friday
last, to pay the last sad tribute Of
respect to the universally esteemed,
the lamented Eliza P. Quincy.
Seldom indeed has genuine heartfelt
sorrow been more apparent, or eyes
moro dimmed with tears, as the
mourners, the "lofty and the lowly,"
gathered round, to take farewell
lock of one so beloved, TRANQUILITY re-
posing within the unostentatious cas-
ket, void Of outward adornment, the
simplicity of which, being in perfect
harmony with her life of humility aud
tenets Of her faith. After a short
interval of silent worship, Rebecca
Collins Of New York, one Of the most
distinguished Friend preachers, made
q iervent prayer, upholdi1g the de-
parted as an example to the living,
and breathing tender words of sym
patty to the stricken hearts. Some
very excellent and practical remarks
followed from Samuel Emlin of Ger
mantown, who also bore his testimony
Of the life and character of the
deceased. Phoebe Ann ELLINGTON of
Philadelphia, Annabella Vim and
Deborah Thompson Of Baltimore also
spoke, and with much emotion, of the
loyal Christian faith, the benevoleuce
and kindly sympathy of the departed,
and the severe loss sustained by count
less households throughout the land,
Upon the close of the services the
casket was borne to the the grave in
the grounds of the Society, and amid
hearts bowed down with grief the
remains were tenderly laid at rest.

highly esteemed fellow citizen Rev.
Or. Lewis is quite an amateur garden
er; it is bis favorite pasiime, and in
growing esculents, fruits and flowers

The cry of a potato famine in this

portation of tens of toe Irish potato,
and in few days eighty tons more are

our own, are thought by many to be
more solid and Of better favor.
