A. N. SATTER THWAIT.


The stove, tinware and house furnish
ings trade of Lambertville finds repre-
sentative in the person and establishment
of the gentleman whose name we have
we had hearty laugh at friend Satter-
thwait's expense. lie is awfnlly "torn
up in his mind as to what county he was
born in-whether Burlington or Mercer
His father had farm on the line, and to
save his life he don't know which Of these
counties is his birth place. However,
Lambertylle has been his home for the
past fourteen years. By trade he is a
mason and builder, and for several years
he carried on that business here, gaining
a most excellent reputation as a thorough
and reliable workman, but ten years ago
he bought out the stove and tinware es-
adjustment Of James Miller. For two
years he was located on Union street be-
low Bridge-eight years ago he took pos
session OF the store corner Main and
coryell streets. 1t makes good loca-
ton, and the house has attracted to itself
good trade--perhaps little dull this
year, but that will hold true of nearly
every business enterprise in the city just
now.
/ Mr.. Satterthwait carries large stock
of stoves, most of which he buys from
Philadelphia founders. Full lines of
house furnishing goods are carried, and
buyers will find that it will pay them to
visit the house and inspect the goods be-
fore purchasing elsewhere.
Besides personally attending TO the bnsi-
ness, Mr.. s. has other duties to perform.
He is now upon his second year as Justice
of the Peace, and this spring he was
elected Chosen Freebolder. AS business
man, as q citizen and as an official, he is
deservedly held in high esteem, and more
than that it Is unnecessary we should say.

The Clinton correspondent OF tho
Democrat-A drerttser says The Somerset
Grand Jury, at its recent setting failed
to find ii bill of indictment in the Geb-
hardt case. We have waited to see how
many of those newspapers and reporters
which took such evident delight in the
publication of the scandalous stories con-
nected with the case would report this
bit of news. So far we have seen no re-
port whatever The Sun, after publish
ing the history of the case, or at least all
that was false of it, utterly refused to
print one line of facts as presented by
friends of the young mans family. OF
course, though, this would have spoiled
the effect of the sanctilied editorial on
"Polygamyi which appeared in its col.
umns at the same time. 1t is very evi.
dent that the Sun did not shine for all, =
at least in this instance. The press Of
the country should make a note of the re-
suit of the Grand Jury's action in this
case.

There appears to be feeling among
some of the Grand Army posts to do away
with flowers and all floral emblems on
Decoration day, and decorate simply with
the stars and stripes. In fact, several
posts have already decided to make this
change. The scarcity of flowers about
May 80, and the great expense when they
have to be purchased. is given as the cause
for this action.
