Company G." had some distinguish
ed military visitors on Monday evening,
they being C. II. W. Van Solver, Captain
and Adjutant 7th Regt., N. G. N. j.,
Captain Slack, of Company &C." and
Private Hartman, all of Lambertville.
Although the visitors were not expected
on that evening, they were handsomely
entertained by the local soldiery, who ex-
tended to them the freedom of the town
and prevailed upon them to remain here
until next day, when they were shown
through the court house, Jail, and other
places of interest, not sighting The MIR
ror office. We hope they will call as often
as they visit Doylestown, and the men,
bers OF Company ''G' hope the visits will
be of frequent occurrence. The visitors
returned home on Tuesday evening, after
securing the promise of number of our
soldiers to return the visit next Thurs
day evening. -Buchs Co. Mirror, Feb. 9.
AT the Reform Club meeting in Elem.
ngton, Tuesday evening of last week, an
address made by Mr.. Aaron H. Rake,
that rather surprised the audience. Mr..
Rake is a wooi-chopper from the hill
country west of town. A quiet, unpre-
tending man. very few, if any, of his
hearers suspected that there was so much
in him. We did not hear the address,
but we are told that it was an eloquent
appeal for temperance, orig inal in thought
and clothed in the most elegant language.
1t is further alleged that the address
would put to shame the studied and la
bored efforts of good many better school
ed and more favored men .han the
'Swamp Wood Chopper" whose pathetic
words are being talked about and compli-
mented throughout the town. 1t is we'll
to remember that the ostentatious do not
always possess all the knowledge, aud
that shabby coat may sometimes cover
the back of philosopher and deep think
er. We earnestly hope that our friend
Rake may continue to walk in the new
path he has chosen. --Huaterd0n Dem.
Princeton has geological expert
ment station of its own. 1t IS conducted
on the volunteer plan. Every tramp who
desires lodging at the expense Of the
borough is given ticket with the condi-
tions on which he will be furnished ,odg.
ing and breakfast gratis printed thereon.
The conditions are that he will break
stone for one hour the next morning. He
proceeds to the borough lodging house,
kept by j o. Margerum, and upon pre-
senting the ticket is admitted and locked
in. Next morning he is brought into the
yard and introduced to pile of stone, up
on which be operates for an hour, under
the supervision of an inspector. He is
then furnished with breakfast of bread
and coffee, and sent on his way rejoicing,
either at the release or the hospitality of
the borough fathers. Lambertville might
start geological experiment station"
on the same plan, with advantage.
