Let the Republicans Of our citv tn,

Thursday evening, at Holcombe Hall.
The annual encampment of Second
Brigade, N. G. of N. j., will take place
at Bordentown, the latter part of August
One day last week, some one broke
into the bottling establishment ON Church
street, in this city, and stole therefrom
about four boxes of lager beer.
On Thursday night last, some one
entered the Office of the flagman at the
Coryell st. R. r. crossing aud stole a
few articles of trifling value
The state authorities have selected
Brelle, as the place at which the
National Guard of this State will hold
their encampment. 1t is between Sea
Girt and Point Pleasant.
Mr.. w. L. Raiscll, Church ST., this
city, is an agent for the sale of a valuable
campaign book, entitled "Life and Public
Services Of James G.. Blaine The book
is published at Augusta, Maine, the home
of the statesman.
The corner stone Of the now Masonic
Temple, at Trenton, will be laid on July
18th inst. The Grand Master Of the Grand
Lodge of this State, will be present with
the members of that body, and will per-
form the ceremony.
The hotel proprietors of this city
have closed not only their barrooms aud
houses but their yards as well, and re-
fuse any accommodations to man or
beast. The yards at some of the hotels,
present peculiar appearance, having
been enclosed by means of posts and
barbed wire fencing. a
"A brass band has been organized in
our neighboring village of Sergeantsville.
How the music win flow forth from doz.
en- or more of brazen throats, but we will
not crticise. We are glad to know of the
fact, and think that the boys have as
good chance as any one else. Keep up
the enthusiasm, and let MS see or hear
the result.
AT or about 10 80 p. NJ, on Monday
last, four cars of excursionists passed
through this city, via. the Belvidere Divi-
sion, p r. r., en- route TO the battle
field of Gettysburg, Pa, for the purpose,
it is presumed, of making visit TO that
place. The party was composed of men,
bers of the Grand Army of the Republic,
from Warwick, N. Y.
The Young Ladies' Base Ball Club,
which played at Trenton few days ago
was not AS attractive as might be imagined.
There was sympathy for them at THEN
imposibilty TO endure the hardships,
and comply with the laws of the game,
physically considered. They had better
remain at home and seek more fitting
employment for themselves.
Navigation on the ocean has now
attained to snch perfection, That cheap
methods of transportation are offered to
travellers in our ocean steamships. 1t is
stated that for the sum of $500, one can
purchase an excursion ticket to England
and return. This might prove a pleasant,
and useful method Of taking vaca-
ton trip, and of enjoying the invigora-
ting breezes of old Neptune's realms.
The late storm did not do as much
damage as might have been expected.
Trees were blown down, some fences dis
iurbed, but the most loss was among the
young poultry, such as chickens, ducks
and turkeys. Mr.. Joseph l.. Quick, OF
Mount Airy, lost upwards of eighty
young ch ickens and turkeys. Losses of a
similar character by others were numer-
Gus. &.
Yesterday Tuesday morning, we were
almost startled at seeing man driving
his wagon in haste over the railroad track
at the depot, as a train was approaching
at rapid rate. He had been warned by
the fiagman to wait, but heedlessly urged
the horse across the track in close view OF
the coming train. Such reck lessness had
better not be tried again. A single balk OF
the horse would have proved fatal 10
horse and driver.
On Tuesday evening about G.3O,
the window blinds in the second story
front of the Catholic School house in our
city was discovered to be on fire. 1t was
quickly mastered however, and extinguisll-
cd before any serious damage was done
to the building. 1t was thought at first,
that the occurrence wonld have tendency
to mar the proceedings Of the evening OF
the commencement of the school, as il
was near the time of opening, but such
did prove to be the case,
-Tuscarora Tribe, Improved Order OF
Red Men, No. II, including degree o I
that order known as the ''Haymakers, "
will parade the streets of this city, at Z
A. NJ, July 4th inst, accompanied by the
New Hope Cornet Band. The route will
include the principal streets of this city
and also those of New Hope, Pa. The
early hour chosen, will, no doubt, prove
pleasant to not only the members of the
tribe, but to the public as well. 1t is a
pity that military and other organizations,
who are now compelled to march in the
boiling sun during the day, cannot parade
during the cool refreshing hours ofNearly
morn. MI ~ FfaS II
