F, B. Morris is having flag pavement
put down in front of his residence, good
and heavy stone to take the place Of his old
stone pavement, and judging from the ap-
pearance of the material; it will not only

Mr.. Fred VanDoren, formcr.lly one of
the clerks in the Lehigh Valley office Of
this place, but has now, charge of the New
Market station, at N. j., was in town on

The sessions Court of this week was
rather a slim affair. A few cases were dis
poseed ol-by trial there were nineteen
cases on the list, and only three true bills
returned by the Grand Jury. Most of the
cases were either settled or postponed.
SHOULD BE.-Wages should be raised TO
correspond with the high prices for provis.
ions. Some of our capitalists should pur-
chase the lower foundry and put it in sue
cessful operation. The New Jersey Rail
read Company should put up new depot
in this place. The old one is becoming
"hissing and by-word" to all passers by
and is discredit to the company, and dis
grace to the town. A stone or plank walk
should be laid from John c. Dolan's dwell
ing to the Dimmick house, also from the
Drmmick house to the New Market house.
All wholesome laws should be strictly en-
forced for the safety OF society. Going in
debt should be avoided as far as possible.
Economy should be practiced by all, and es-
| pecially by those who dispose ofand control
public funds, in order TO reduce the taxes,
All men should have their lives insured, for
the benefit of those who are dependent D
on them. All buildings, whether public or
private, should be insured.
The old stove in the Prothonotary's Of
fee has been removed and new and fancy
one put in its place. 1t may be an improve.
ment in appearance, but we doubt whether
it will be in comfort and conyenience.
While we welcome the rain and hail it
with delight, we nevertheless regret that the
weather during Fair week was so inclement
and unpropitious, for we have no doubt that
a number of persons have been disappoint-
ed in their expectations, and especially the
politicians and contributors We advise the
managers of the Fair hereafter to consult
yennor in regard to the weather, for it has
become a fact that it almost invariably rains
here during Fair week. Why it thus?
