MOUNT AIRY, N. j., June 90, 1884.
Obituary Death Of Mr.. Neao York Times.
Mr.. New York Times, of Great Britain,
died at his temporary home in the great
metropolis of the Western Continent, on
June 4th. 1884, after a lingering illness of
cynical indifference and unspeakable sad
ness, occasioned by the death of his
Johnny Bull free trade aristocratical con-
ception of the government of nations.
Mr.. Times, for years past, was welcome
weekly visitor to our village and welded
a mighty influence, but now he's dead
and gone whose heart was ours alone
He fought the enemy in true Horace
Greeley style and many bad epithets upon
him they piled, but like the arch traitor
Arnold Of old, was bought by the British
for silver and gold. The free trade ply
stefan must go by the board and America
never be governed by a British lord. The
"Times'' medicine don't seem to take
much A falling off of forty copies in
one day, has been reported from the
smallto of Somerville, N. j.
Judging from the allwise, pure and
holy political standpoint, taken by Henry
Ward Tilton Beecher and one or two
identical individuals of Lambertville, one
wonld suppose the world must necessarily
come to an end Give them coat Of the
Light of Asia" and kick 'em out.
While poor down trodien Ireland is re-
sorting to means, most desperate to free
herself from Johnny Bull, her free trade
oppressor, Irish Americans, steadfastly
cast their votes for the British free trade
party in America. England would give
millions to defeat Blaine and Logan.
They have already bought the New York
Times and Harper's Weekly, but that
won't do it yet.
An ice cream festival was held at the
Chapel, Thursday evening, which Melted
the church about sixty hard dollars. A
very pleasant time was had. Plenty of
berries, cream, cakes, &C., and lots of
handsome ddmselis to cater to the wants
of the people.
Now that unsightly old stone wall be-
tween the church and chapel should be
removed and an iron fence erected in its
place. We have no right to imprison the
dead within dingy stone walls of ancient
nations.
The hay crop in this vicinity, will be
found extremely light; oats will be an en-
tire failure; vegetation of all kinds is suf-
fering severely for want Of rain; cherries
and berries will be scarce aud hard to get;
plums have been stung by an insect and
will all drop off; apple crop also will be
very light.
Mr.. VIM. f. Holcombe, has had his
large barn newly inclosed and painted,
and it now presents much improved APP
pearance; he also had new slate roof
put on. Tho old slate were on about thirty
years and some Of them had become very
soft and crumbly.
Ireland was once the most prosperous
country upon the face Of the earth; free
trade has made her the most miserable.
Hard luck johnson Everitt, residing
near New Market, recently lost two horses
with putrid sore throat, all he had
About two weeks ago he bought another,
which is also dead.
How will our Democratic friends trade
their sound tariff men for our lordly free
traders? Say on, we expect to give diff
ference aud chuck Beecher in.
The tariff on butter is fifteen cents per
pound. Canada is wonderful butter pro-
ducing country. Remove the duty and
our better makers might perhaps be able
to realize ten cents by hard squeezing.
A young man living in the vicinity Of
Mount Airy, is said 10 be too lazy to pro-
perly digest his food, hence much grunt-
ing.
In 1860 the Democratic party split on
the extension Of slavery question, and in
1884 it must necessarily split again on the
tariff business, as it is impossible for one
man to ride two horses at the same time,
going in opposite directions.
