Death of An Aged Citizen.

DeHtn All sAStu Cttizeh.
On Friday last, Tunis Teneyck Kroesen
died at his residence in this city, in the
S8th year of his age. The deceased had
been for nearly 81 years resident of
Lambertvile, and it is believed leaves
none beside him who has lived nearly as
long in this city.
Mr. Kroesen's funeral took place on
Monday afternoon. Long before the APP
pointed hour, his late residence in Dele
van street was visited by hundreds of
personal---very. many of them of advanced
age-who went to have last look at the
face and form that had been so long
familiar to our citizens.
The funeral services were held in st.
Andrews Church, which was filled in
every part, After the psalm and lesson,
the Pastor, the Rev. f. X. Smith, made
an address, in which he gave brief out
line of Mr.. Kroesen's life sketched his
character, as man of integrity, industry,
kindness and courtesy, and of religious
reverence and humility and then APP
piled the lesson of long life ended, to
those who yet lived, and had opportunity
to do well life's great work.
The hymn, II would not live Away"
sung by the youthful choir, seemed high
ly appropriate. After concluding prayers
in the church, the family and near friends
followed the remains to Mount Hope
Cemetery, where the burial service was
completed.
1t was noticeable and very gratifying
circumstance, that all of Mr.. Kroesen S
surviving children, -four sons and two
daughters, were able to be at his bedside
during his last hours.

Kinsey's Phosphorus Tonic

The ingredients of which are secret being

rather the combination of its ingredients, is the
invention of Mr.. JOHN l.. KINsEY, q pharmaeeut-
list, who has the confidence and respect of every
physician in Newark sKMsEy's Tone retais at
Sa0 per bottle. Each bottle ontains Thirty Doses,
and each dose costs Ave cents. The ingredients are
costly but each one is specific for certain di-
seases. Sickn comes unlimited. How many per-
sons at this time of the year do not feel languid
and heavy? At no other season is the drowsy dir
illness prevalent. You lack appetite, your sleep
is 1tful. You are run down. No particular disease
has manifested ITSELF but the condition of your
system is low and needs toning. Serious conse-
quences are apt to follow this summer lassitude,
which degenerates into debility. At this season the
system is more susceptible to the beneficial effects
of medicine, hence this is the time to fortiy your
system against the facilitating effects OF Summer
weather by taking

At special meeting of the Friendship
Social Society held on the 18th of JAN,
1884, the following preamble and reso-
lutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, in view of the loss we have
sustained by the decease of our friend
and associate, Tunis T. Kroesen, being
eighty eight years of age, and resident
of this place for the space of eighty-one
years Therefore, be it
Resolced, That it is but a just tribute
to the memory of the departed to say
that in regretting his removal from our
midst, we mourn for one who was, in
every way, worthy of our respect and re.
gard.
Res0loed, That we sincerely condole
with tho family of the deceased on the
dispensation with which it has pleased
Divine Providence to affiict them, and
commend them for consolation to Him
who orders all things for the best, and
whose chastisements are meant in mercy.
Resolued, That this heartfelt testimon
ial of our sympathy and sorrow be for
warded to the family of our departed

To Bound Brook, which suffered such
terrible freshets last September year
ago, the water on Wednesday rose up to
the barns and yards of some of the resi-
dents, and they looked with some alarm
at the turbid waters, fearing such another
visitation. The waters soon subsidized, and
the danger passed away.

Making Things Lively.

Making Things Lively.
There's philosophy about sensations
that people are mighty apt to overlook.
1t is not the man who puts all his dyna-
mite in one blast that is felt the most
When it's over, he's over, too. IT'S the
man who does something and keeps on
doing something till you yield to his in
fluence as part of your daily being
This sort of man is John Wanamaker.
His reduction sale advertisement is only a
surprise in this that If it was not this it
would be something else to make things
lively at this usually dull season. Phila-

Sensible 10 The Ldst.-Mr. Conkling's
letter to Mr.. Herr in regard to the Lam

A town without hotel is like home
without mother, and hotel without
bar is much worse by far. Out on the

Sunday seven days per week, fanatics
bamboozle Council and hold full sway
but Conkling put quietus to their foul
play +; public money they spent to send
cnt-tllroats on spree, to believe whom
no twelve men of Hunterdon will ever
agree. The lawyers may prattle and the
Judge charge a verdict to find, but the
twelve will stand firm as men of sound
mind. Mr.. Conkling, we believe, has the
appreciation of nine-tenths of the best
citizens of the county. The people are
getting tired of this Connecticupblue-la
business and of paying the fiddler for
Lambertville fanatics to dance. The tenn
perance cause, as at present managed, is
to say the least, notorious nuisance,
politically, socially, and collectively. 1t
would be more wisely administered If its
affairs were in the hands of inmates of
the chronic department of an insane
asylum.

Beautiful Monument.-Mr VIM. F.
Holcombe has erected to the memory of
his wife and son Charles o., beautiful
white oxyd-bronze monuments in the
burying ground at this place. These
monuments are beautifully designed,
have raised letters, and are handsomely
finished and to be seen, must be admired.
They are the first of the kind erected in
this ancient burying ground. They were
made by the Monumental Bronze Co., OF
Bridgeport, ct. and are believed to be
more durable than marble. The COM
pany have over two million dollars invest
ed in the business and in time metal will
supercede stone to mark the resting place
of the dead. We have examined some
old monuments and find that marble be-
gins to crumble and decay after about
forty years, and we venture the opinion
that it will not last more than about one
hundred years, at best. Cast iron win
last much longer and it is believed that
bronze--a compound of copper, Tin and
zinc, non-corodable, destitute of nitric
acid and free from rust, will endure for
ever
