is coming.

New Hope merchants will afford
fine display.
1T is just as cheap to buy at home as
to so elsewhere and perhaps pay more.
Tom O'Rourke, though not much OF
politician, is one Of the best seirs patlers
10 the employ of the b. & NJ. Telegraph
Company.
The Union Paper Mfg Co., are con-
tinualiy Increasing the number of hands
in .heir employ, having now sixty-seven,
with weekly pay roll of $500.
Most of our business places we're
closed on Thanksgiving Day. We judge
many of our citizens honored Buffers
proclamation more than that Of the Pres
ident.
The Union Mill team carried through
town on Monday, pair Of immense
bevel gears, weighing about 5000 pounds,
to be kept as duplicates In case of acct
dent. They were made expressively for
this company, by Poole & Hunt, of Will
mington, Del.
IAN effort is being made by some of
our liberal minded citizens, to assist Mr..
Poole, whose mill was recently burned.
It is a worthy object, aud the merchants
of our town with whom Mr.. r has
thrown SO much of his trade for years
past, ought to be equally liberal with him
now.
On Friday morning last, John Hanl.
ton had his fingers pretty badly squeezed
in the calendsrs at the Union Mills. On
Saturday morning, at the same mills,
John Coulton, an old man about TO- fell
distance of 10 feet, from a pile Of stock,
striking upon his face and receiving quite
severe injuries.
On Thanksgiving Day, Mr.. Peter
Heath who is about closing out his bust.
ness here, had public sale of his per-
sonal and other property. The real es-
tate after being run up to vi 900, was
withdrawn from the sale. On Monday of
this week, it was sold to Matthias kirst
for 81, 200. 1t will still continue wheel
wright and carriage shop.
Last week the Union Mills Paper
Mfg Co. shipped two car loads of paper
and are filling two more cars this week.
They are putting in three new liquor
tanks, in order to use the liquid bleach
In place of the dry. These three tanks
have capacity of 5000 gallons. They
are running with full force and have all
they can do to keep up with their orders.
Willie Whiteley, who was lying very
low at our last report, died on Tuesday
evening aud was buried on Saturday.
Funeral services from his fathers resi-
dence at II A. NJ, Rev. G. Read oficia-
ting. 1t was beautiful day and very
many took the opportunity Of showing
their love and respect for one SO young
yet well beloved, by following his remains
to their last resting place in Riverview
Cemetery.
Willie was a conscientious, exemplary
Christian, and while we mourn his carly
departure we have the cheering thought
that the closing of the scenes of this life
to him was but the drawing of the cur
tain which admitted him into a new life
with new activities and new joys far ex-
ceeding anything this life might have had
in store for him.
Reading Larue, living near Lahaska,
Pa, died suddenly last Tuesday, from an
attack OF apoplexy, which came on last
Sunday evening after he had gone to bed.
He soon became unconscious and died III
forty -eight hours aftervards. He was
about So years old and much respected
by all who knew him. His funeral was
largely attended. He was buried In the
family plot in the church yard at Sandy
Ridge, N. J. He formerly lived in Lam
and WIS a brother of Messrs.
Isaac and Gardner Larue, Of Lambertville.
The subject of new boiler for the
Eagle fire engine, is being pretty tho
roughly discussed by all classes OF our
citizens They all agree on at least two
points first, that to be in anyway relia-
BILE, the Eagle must haze new boiler
secondly, that the members OF the com
pany must not be expected to pay tho en-
tire bill. AS everybody in tho place is
interested in this matter of protection
against fire, 1t seems just that every one
should contribute to the expenses, and
as there are always some who are willing
other people should pay, while they look
on approvingly. the only far, equitable
method seems to be by tax laid upon
the whole property of the town. we
trust our city fathers will look into this
matter and put into operation, some plan
by which the end neutrality-suspicious.
may be attained.
Since the above was written, we learn
that at meeting Of the Eagle Co., Mon
day evening, committee was appointed
to canvas the borough aud ascertain how
much our citizens are willing to con-
tribute towards new boiler. Responses
should be prompt and liberal.
