A Bit of Local History.
After looking over the grave stones
erected in the cemetery near Mount Airy
station, corresponding gives the follow ing
facts: "On the south side Of these grounds,
known as Barber's Grave Yard, stands
comely marble slab with this inscription:
I'm memory of Caleb Farley; who died
Oct. 6, 1908, aged 81 years, 8 months and
s days The biography of this man in
brief is, that lie was citizen of Amwell,
in this county, and served his country
early 10 life in the American Army, nm
der Gen. Washington. He was in the
Battle of Monmouth on the very day that
he came to his majority, or 81 years, and
in the midst of the iron hail of that ex-
tremely hot and eventful day said that he
there came to the full conclusion, as he
saw his comrades fast falling all around
him, that just 81 years was his full allot-
ment of life. But he fought on without
a wound and saw the light Of other days
when Monmouth's CORY field was stiled,
the dead buried and the wounded cared
for, and they continued the conflict on to
Yorktown, the place Of final victory.
'sHe married Anna Fisher, who survived
him many years, and died April %, 1851
They both were much respected in their
generation. Let the generous haud on
Decoration Day strew the beautiful for

"A friend writes to us that the Demo-
Gratis at Stockton are circulating the story
that after the Lambertville Cornet Band
had contributed eight dollars toward pay
ing for band, the Republicans hired the
New Hope Band instead of the Lambert
vile Band, and used the Lambertville
Bands money to pay them. Ever since
Cleveland told some of his friends to
tell the truth, there seems to have been
strife on the part of great many ofthem
to see who can get the farthest from it.
The Stockton Democrats are ahead thus
far, The Lambertville Band being COM
posed of Democrats and Republicans,

In the physical world South America is
full of wealth, and nature has bestowed
upon 1t a matchless grandeur in its rivers
and Its mountains. Prof. Fisher shows us
that inter-tropical America North and
SOUTH surpasses all the world in the num-
Der and variety Of its plants, while Agassiz
shows us how greatly the wonderful variety
of its fishes surpasses that of North America.
Of course, much of tho country is now
malarious and unhealthy, yet vast regions
of elevated and most beautiful sections are
most salubrious and healthy, and clothed
with an incredible wealth of ceaseless pro
iuction. Endless varieties of the most
luscious fruits and beautiful flowers, will
birda of gorgeous pfimage and gigantic but,
tertiies, delight the eye on every hand, far
up on elevations where neither the winters
cold nor excessive heat is ever known, and
all nature teens with health, beauty and
abundance. Even the low levels along the
great rivers TEEN with endless wealth. md

This is the title of an illustrated octave
pamphlet published at 25 cents by Fow-
Ter Il Wells Co., 1853 Broadway, New

voted to important health topics. There
is an illustrated article ON the Cause and
Cure of the Backache, especially found
among 20 many women. An extended
article on Chronic Catarrh. A very i'm
portant paper is one devoted to Bodily
Positions and Dress in relation to health
and form. The Teeth, their use and care,
containing illustrations showing how the
teeth are formed and grow, why and how
they decay. The cause of Malarial Di-
seases is one which may be read profitably
in almost every community Getting used
to it shows how the system appears to get
used to unhealtbful habits. Fat folks
and lean folks shows how to treat these
two conditions. Rheumatism is the sub
ject of another article. We also have
Medical Electricity; Position on Horse

THE LAUNDERING New York Posi-
An American journal, 10 defending Mr.,

have been brought against him, asserts
that If such "indiscretions" arc to exclude

statesman or reformer of the last hundred
years would have been tabooed, except
Romily, Wilberforce and Gladstone"
The Americans must be singularly igno-.
rant of the private lives of the English
statesmen and reGormers of tho last cen

The parade of the two Republican
Clubs of this city, and the Junior Club,
of New Hope last Thursday evening, was
designed merely to give those engaged
some practice in marching and drilling.
With the exception Of four uniforms, all
the men equipped were in the ranks.
They presented neat appearance. The
adult Blaine and Logan Club wore red

leather capes, and white leggings. The

Alexander Sullivan, of Chicago, who
resigned his office as President of the
Irish National League in order to take
the stump for Blaine, made capital
speech in New York, last week. His at
tention was chiefly directed to a clear and
convincing statement of reasons why
Irish. Americans should not support Cleve-
land. The appearance on a Republican
platform of this well-known and promi-
nent leader of Irish-American citizens
manifcstly dsconcerts tho Democrats
They concocted an elaborate plan for an
invasion of the meeting by "heelers" of
their party. Mr.. Hubert o. Thompson,
Commissioner of Public Works, indicted
for maladministration in office, and said
by tho New York Times to be second only
to Tweed in rascality, and member of tho
Democratic Committee, was tho agent
employed in this disreputable business.
Thousands of counterfeit tickets of ad-
mission were printed and circulated, and
men employed on the the public works
said toshave been sent to break up tho
meeting. Thecounterfeits were detected,
the invaders turned back, 3ahdthe scheme
thwarted. Messrs. George VIM. Curtis

The death of Joseph Fl. Higgings, Of
Pennington, is announced. Mr.. II. when
young man resided in this town for
some time, and here learned his profess
sion as druggist with the late DR.. s. A.
Pearson. He was native of West Am
we'll township. His father, the late Israel
Higgins, Also was for years aresident of
this place. The Hunterdon Democrat
gives the following obituary notice: -s
1t is our sad duty to announce the
death of Mr.. Joseph II. Higgins, our well
known Pennington druggist. The sad
event occurred on Saturday morning last
at about o'clock. Nearly two years ago
Mr.. Higgins was stricken with paralysis
from the effects of which he never fully
recovered. On Wednesday last he visited
Trenton, he having been chosen as one of
the Q. S. Grand Jurymen. Returning in
the evening he seemed to be in about the
same health he had been enjoying for
months past, and was in fine spirits,
cracking jokes with his neighbors and
friends as they came into his store. After
retiring he was suddenly seized with a
second stroke of paralysis. The attack
was very severe one and he lay In an
unconscious condition and perfectly help
less until his death ON Saturday morning.
Mr.. Higgins was a very popular man in
town. Good natured and pleasant in
manners, kind and forgiving in DISPOSE
ton, honest and reliable in business, he
was man whom the town looked upon
as one of its best and most useful citizens
He was the pioneer of the drug business
in Flemington., He started the business
here some thirty-eight years ago in a
much less pretentious building than that
which he leaves to his posterity. In poll.
tics he was Democrat but he never
sought office, beyond filing place in
the Town Committee some years ago, at
the earnest request of the Republicans as
we'll as Democrats. Mr.. Higgins declin-
ed other and higher offices. He leaves a
widow and four children. His age was
about 60 years.

AT the canning factory of J. Fl. But
terfoss, last week, there were put up
over 70, 900 cans of tomatoes. This sur
passes the work of any previous week
in any year at this establishment. But
to all appearances, as the work is now
being pushed, greater number will be
canned this week. For this season the
works have been enlarged, and facilities
for extended work much improved.
About 140 hands find daily employment,
while more than that number are engag-
ed on numerous farms all around the
country harvesting the crops and getting
them to the cannery. Mr.. Butterfoss
hopes to put up this year about half
million cans, which, at the low figure Of
8 cents each, will bring into this vicini-
ty $40, 0c0.
