LAMBEnrv1LLE. Oct. 80. 1852

To The Editor Of the Ldm6ertoilie Record !.
The great agony is over and the Buy
Ten Genital is one of the things of the
past In point of numbers it was sue
cess. AS an advertising dodge it was
most admirable. And yet there was a
good deal on paper of what was to be,
that the cute originators did not, and
never intended to carry out. The crack
N. J. Regiments that were to be on hand,
by some hocus pocus were kept out of the
procession, except in part, fearful no
doubt, that the Philadelphia military
would be eclipsed, as they certainly would
have been. The picked men from the
Railroad shops in Lambertville, that were
to have a new blouse, an extra dinner on
roast turkey and cranberry sauce, free
transportation and full pay for the time
they were absent, were notified at the
last moment that they were not wanted.
OF course we would not presume to hint
that the cost of this would have knocked
the bottom out of a thousand dollar bill
And then it was expressly understood
that no circulars were to be distributed
along the line of march, and yet the very
air was darkened with them, hurled as
they were, from every wagon that passed,
to the surging crowds on the sidewalks.
The old colored man and his Dinah even
threw them out of the bed as they were
pulled along. The scene at the wharf on
Tuesday morning was very affecting in
deed. Instead of sending up to New
York state, or down to Washington city
for few real Indians, who would have
come for trife, they got some paint and
few red wigs from down town hair
dresser. Some cheap bracelets were
fastened on the noses of the grocers and
dry goods dealers, and after some mauipu-
lations they looked every inch "big
Iujun.' One was called =" Bears Meat
another Hole in the Sky" another
Big Wafer &c. The William Penn
that was improvised, was by some terrible
mistake. taken the evening before from
headquarters of the Democracy or from
the Stalwart Republicans, it is not posi-
lively known which, and horror of
horrors, when he was about to land and
have "big talk and treaty with the
Injun braves he was intoxicated, so much
SO that he had to be Invested of his shad-
bellied coat, broad brimmed hat, knee
breaches and big buokled shoes, and put
to bed down in the hold of the ship, and
the garments were then placed ON a poor
handbook carman, in great haste. The
sight was very affecting. Some of Penn' S
disciples cried, it is said. At Chester it
was even worse. Too much fire-water.
A Methodist preacher near the sacred
spot came near being mobbed for indulg-
ing in some plain, practical talk the
Sabbath evening previous. Gen. Beaver
was chief marshal. Hartranft and Sewell
were also there. How odd. Many thou
sands asked that day if they knew how
much Mr. Penn paid for the land that
Marshall walked around, and the course
he took to drive bargain. None but the
old preacher could answer the question at
that time. Perhaps some one can answer
it now. Let us have all the particulars
and no mincing of words. Give us the
facts. We are waiting AMINIDAB.

The Bi-Centennial Celebration in
Philadelphia, last week, was grand
success. In some respects the parades
did not come up to expectations but take
it in all, it is fair to say that Philadelphia
can take down any other city in the
country in getting up celebrations of
Centennials and Bi-Centennialsn
During the week, the railroads carried
million passengers to that city, and the
Penna. r. r. Co. was taxed to the utmost
to take care of its travel. Lambertville
furnished its full share of visitors, and
st. Elmo Commandery aud Co c. of this
city, took part in the parades.

crop Is AZ, 900, 900 bushels, and the acre

The oat crop is the largest ever raised in

EPISCOPAL CHURCH NEWS.


Last Sunday morning, Bishop Scar
borough visited Calvary Church, Flem-
ington, where he preached, celebrated
the Lords Supper and confirmed two
men. 1t was small class, but the addi-
ton of even two to the membership of
the young congregation was cheering, and
felt to be token of greater gains in the
near future, especially as both candidates
are heads of families. The Bishop stated
that arrangements we're maturing to give
Calvary Church tsoo services each Lords
Day, instead of one as heretofore and
also to relieve the pastor of S. Andrew
from the long Sunday afternoon drives,
and leave him more time for the Lam
beitville part of his mission field. This
arrangement will probably include the
appointment of resident minister at
Pennington.
At night, the Bishop preached at S.
Andrews. His return to Lambertville
had not been expected but quite large
congregation were gathered to welcome
the genial and warm hearted Chief Pas
tor, and to hear his earnest words of
counsel and encouragement. The service
was animated, and the singing of the
very healtiest, making the church resound
with the notes of praise. A merited
commentator was bestowed upon the
faithful organist and youthful choir, for
their true and spirited leading of the con-
gregational singing, in which nearly
every voice in the building seems now to
take part, at the usual Sunday services.
Wednesday of this week, (to.day,) is
the feast of All Saints, and an appropriate
service will be held at s. Andrew s, at
1920, A. M.
Next Sunday morning there will be the
monthly communion, aud in the afternoon
and evening, Sunday School and service
as usual
Last Sunday night, very remarkable
anniversary was celebrated in S. Paul's
Chapel, New York city--that striking old
church on Broadway, at the foot of the
Park. In the same building, exactly
fifty years before, four Bishops had been
consecrated, namely Bishops Smith, of
Kentucky Hopkins, of Vermont; Nc
Ilvaine, of Ohio, and Doane, of New
Jersey. All of these have long since been
gathered to their fathers, except the
first named, Bishop Smith, who at the age
of 90, still lives, not only the senior and
presiding Bishop of the American Church,
but the senior Bishop of the entire
Christian world. No other man is now
living, in any branch of the Church on
earth, who has held the office Of the
Bishop for half century and few, in
any period of the Church's history, have
exercised the Episcopal office so many
years. Monday and Tuesday, other COM
memorative services were held, and
among the preachers or-speakers were
sons of two of the Bishops consecrated in
1882 Bishop Doane, of Albany, and Rev
DR.. Hopkins, of Willamsport Pa.

The Directors of the Hunterdon
County Agricultural Society held bust
ness meeting at the Union Hotel in this

tiers to receive attention was the appoint
ment of committee to confer with the

"circuit." As it now exists too many
Fairs are held on the same week, but by
an arrangement of this kind they may be

FUNERAL OF ENGINEER SEEDs.--The
funeral of Engineer Seeds, the heroic en-
gineer who sacrificed his own life in
saving the lives of his passengers, near
Jersey City, last Sunday, took place at
Yardville, Mercer County, on Sunday
forenoon. There was large turnout of
people, from Trenton, Bordentown, and
all the surrounding country. A special
train conveyed about 200 from Trenton
and about 100 from Bordentown, largely
composed of railroad employees. There
were fully one hundred carriages present.
The services, which were of very touch
Ing and impressive character, took place
In the sfcthodst church at Yardville,
which would not hold one-fourth of the
people present. The deceased hero's wife
and five children were among those who
followed his remains to the grave.

The best index to the general activity
of business is to be found by examination
of the tonnage statistics of the various
railroad lines in the country. Compar-
ing these with the statements of last year
there seems to have been q general and
uniform increase in the amount of bust
ness done, which argues well for the gen.
eral prosperity of our various business in
terests. Notwithstanding the long strikes
among the iron and steel industries, near
ly every important railroad line is able to
show very considerable increase in the
amount of freight tonnage and passenger
traffic over last year, and the uniformly
good crops in the West promise an unpre-
cedented activity in the coming season.
