LAMBERTv1LIE, July II, 1882.


Mr.. EDITOR THE article Ia last
weeks RECORD is SO brimful of wilful,
gross misrepresentation that | deem it
scarcely worth the notice of any honorable
man to make any reply to It. | win say,
however, that 1. w. G. came TO me when
l was going on with the work and said
the wall we were building was needed in
order to hold the filling we put there, and
the culvert he approved of very much,
and said it would be great improvement
when done. This | am willing to make
my affidavit to. Mr.. Martin Coryell also
has seen and has approved of the wall and
work that we did, and told me that it was
a great improvement. In regard to
property owners offering to pay for lower
ing the bridget is incorrect. There
was no such offer made and in regard to
shutting off so many families from getting
water and preventing parties from hauling
gravel from the creek, there is not one
word of truth in It. Butt. w. G. ia now
trying to injure us all he can for doing a
job asked for by all the heavy shippers
that have to haul over that bridge. 1t
never has been graded or an easy approach
made for wagons TO get over it since it
was built. A great many horse owners
are Of the opinion that l. w. G. has not
much of tender feeling for poor horses

The bill passed by the House on Mon
day, June 22d, to retire trade dollars from
circulation, provides that, until July list,
1884, the Secretary of the Treasury shall
receive at the minis of the United States
the silver coins known as trade dollars,
and give in exchange for such, coins of
full weight, dollar for dollar. Standard sill
yer dollars and trade dollars SO received
shall be regarded as silver bullion and
shall be deemed part of the monthly
purchase of bullion required by the act
of February 28th, 1878. The total number
of trade dollars coined is about thirty six
millions, and of this amount it is eitimated
that about twenty-seven millions were ex-
ported, leaving about nine millions az the
number to be exchanged under the bill
passed on Monday. 1t should be noticed
that the bill provides for the exchange of
"trade" dollars of full weight, "dollar for
dollar" for the standard silver dollar.
There Is difference of seven and one-half
grains In favor of the trade dollar. The
abrasion incidental to circulation is not
likely to materially reduce this excess in
weight over the standard dollar, and 1t
would seem, therefore, that the Govern
ment should make an exchange Of dollar
for dollar so long as 1t gets in every In
stance more bullion than ii pays out in ex-
change.

The girls in Kingston, N. Y, we are
told, are growing too fond of replying, 81
would rather be excused" when asked by
young gentlemen the privilege of escort
ing them home from church atnight. The
practice may be hard ON the "boys," but
it is one which every self-respecting girl
will adopt and adhere to. As correspond
ent of the Kingston Freeman says, Z" For
young lady to be asked on coming out
of church, accompanied probably by pa
rents or friends, to surrender herself to
the society of some young hoodlum who
has been waiting outside while she was
decorously attending divine worship, is
an insult which would justify kick from
father or big brother" The young man
who is really fit company for a lady will
attend her to church and stay there
through service, or else confine his atten-
tions to week days aud evenings. The
habit of loafing around to wait for girl
coming out of church is ill-bred, disre-
spectful, and "sorter sneaky,' as they
say down East. A manly fellow will never
join himself to the church loafing crowd

Horace Waters & Co., 826 Broadway,
New York, have recently leased the five
story brick building, corner of Broome
and East streets, near Grand street ferry,
for the manufacture Of Square and Up
right Pianos. This will greatly extend
their facilities, and enable them to
make all their own cases, keys
and other work that piano manufacturers
generally have done outside. The case
making department occupies the entire
second floor of the building, and is COM
plete in all its appointments ; it is crowd
ed with busy workmen and piled full of
work In the process of manufacture.
There is large yard adjoining the build
ing, with stacks of all kinds of lumber.
The extensive vanishing and polishing
department occupies the fourth floor
front, the finishing and the regulating is
done on the third floor, and other parts Of
the building are used for storing material,
etc.
The pianos turned out are claimed to
be very superior instruments, the cases
are all full rosewood veneers, not partly
imitation, Strauch Brothers actions are
used exclusively and only the best ivory
keys .--Amsricon Art Journal, June "a,

Comptroller Anderson was recently ex-
amined by the Legislative Railroad Tax
Committee, and testified as to the manner
in which Railroad Companies are taxed
He said that the companies all pay tax
one way or the other ;either to the State
or to the municipality, under the general
law of 1876, upon the equipments and
appendages of the roads. Some compa-
MES, however, are exempted when their
charters provide for it. The law of 1878
provided for tax on the cost and that Of
1875, on theirvalu Witness thought that
the ten acres at the termini of the roads
are not liable to State tax, but to munic-
ipal taxation. A return Is made each year
Of the purchases made and the costs there
of there is no authority 10 the law to
make any investigation beyond the re-
turns of the companies no itemized ac-
count is furnished, only an aggregate (;
witness has never made demand for
such, as there is no authority to do so.
The Comptroller is authorized to call .
meeting Of the Railroad Commissioners
as to all Railroads except the United Rail-
road Companies.

The Bloomsbury correspondent of
the Hunterdon Republican, in his latest
letter gives the following exemplification
of the benefit of advertising
Does it pay to advertise is question
many business men are asking. We can
cite an instance that has come under our
own observation that clearly proves bene-
fetal results from advertising. Two years
ago Mr.. Dalrymple, cur lumber dealer,
was doing large business, a business of
800, 600 year. He was induced by his
friends to advertise, which he did in three
of our County papers, and one in Warren
county. Note the result. The next year
his sales amounted to $4,000, and last
year $50, 900. Suppose he makes 10 per
cent. profit on the increased $50, 600 of
last year, we then have 80, 200 profit. Say
he pays each editor 500 per year for ad-
vertising, be then has g. 800 nett gain as a
result of his investment. This is certain
~ worthy of the consideration of every
business man in this OF any other place in
the County or State.

MIR EpIToR:-We often read OF Indian
stories. fish stories, whale stories and
snake stories, but | will give you an
original dog story from this place, the
facts of which happened not many days
ago on Mechanic street, A puppy wan
dered into the wrong gate, and the Kind
lady gave him warm water bath, and
puppy went home hummlng the tune of
"Home, Sweet Home" Presently a
storm arose it grew darker and the
lightning flashed words flew faster, but
as the storm was about to break forth in
all it's terrific fury of words, the young
man was appealed to with all the loving
kindness that flows from a tender heart,
! to come out of the storm. The influence
was great and he withdrew, to be renewed
when puppy enters the wrong gate again.
How sad to think of these poor crea-
lures, and such a scarcity By actual
count, 10 dogs in front of cottage by the

woman arises with upliftcd hand Pro-
claiming peace to all dog kind. The
Thomas cat, with his long silken fur
turned headward, seeks safety on the
house roof, looking down on his own dear
mistress, muttering in his own language
"The way of the transgressor is hard.
That was a grand concert equal to the
famous Gilmore Band, long to be remem-
bered.
Mr.. Editor, II is not uncommon to see
groups of from -four to six dogs parading
our thoroughfares together every day
Some business places you go in, the first
things you stumble over are two or three
dogs lying on the floor. 1t is real circus
to see the dogs scratching for flies and
swapping for flies at the same time. In
other business places, dogs are also con-
stantly kept about. A decent regard for
the noses and stomachs of customers
should cause their removal. DoeMATIo.

The Rev. Mr.. Strickland, pastor of
the NJ. e. Church, 10 his sermon last Sun-
day evening, denounced in fitting terms,
the lawlessness recently prevailing in this
city, and censured the people for permit
ting it. This is right. A preacher is
doing his legitimate work in stirring up
the people to sense of their RESPONSE
bility in regard to the moral welfare of
the community. If ouf churches move on
without consciousness of the moral and
political power they have TO stop these
evils, or knowing it, do not exercise 1t,
individually and collectively, they will
soon secure the contempt of people who
believe in doing something to stop evil as
well as deploring its existence.
