This is free country, but that is no rea-
son why man should be compelled to
walk in the gutter in order to allow three
or four young women to promenade arm
in-arm upon the sidewalk. -Losoen Citi-
zen.
People in Lambertvile have considera-
BILE experience in the above respect. Young
ladies walking three or four abreast are
frequently met with in our streets, and
they walk slowly along, and never think
of giving way, to allow persons who are
in greater hurry than they, to pass
them. A school to teach practical man
ners is needed.

The Hunterdon Democrat comedies
with the opinion of THE RECORD as to
the penalty imposed upon DIR. G. w.
Larson, of RiDgoes. 1t says:
SIT seems to be very generally agreed
that the sentence of the Court is some
what severe and excessive. The popular
belief is that, allowing the prisoner to be
guilty as found in the indictment, YER
dict to that effect with nominal fine was
sufficient punishment without the addi-
ton OF penal servitude. The ends of JUS
tice certainly would have been served by
the imposition of fine, and it does not
appear to us that the crime of which the
Doctor stands convicted, is great enough
TO deprive him of his freedom. Perhaps
others look at the matter differently. We
cannot all see alike. In any event it is
not likely that anything we may say will
have the least effect in mitigating the SEN
tence of the Court. We must say that
the sentence was great surprise to the
public, and we have failed to hear any
one admit its iustice.p

Heart Disease is supposed to be purely
a nervous disease, and yet intelligent
physicians admit that about half the
fatal cases of heart disease result from
long-continued abuse of the stomach and
digestive organs, by liquor and tobacco,
which weaken and destroy the nervous
system and produce over.excitement,
causing death. Vinegar Bitters is sure
corrective of such disorders.

Mrs. Achsah Craft, widow of the late
Noah Craft, yesterday celebrated her
Goth birthday at her residence on Delevan
street, in this city, where many of her
friends called on her, especially in the
evening, and left her many things as a
new outfit for her bedroom, such as a new
carpet, handsome quilt, &c. The old lady
is in excellent health, converses freely,
works, walks about the house and on the
streets and she has now entered upon her
Tooth year with fair prospects of reaching
her full centennial year. She was born in
East Am we'll, near Woodsville, and has
spent all her life in this region; having
lived most of her time in the vicinity of

Robbins, Circus.

Robbins Circus.
The exhibitions given in this town
Monday afternoon and evening by Frank
A. Robbins circus company were gen
orally regarded as fully equaling in merit
those of any show of the kind that has
ever visited here. The horses were we'll
trained, and the equestrian, gymnastic
and acrobatic performances above the
average. The menagerie contained a
number of interesting specimens of rare
animals, and the museum several human
curiosities. The liberal manner in which
the show has been advertised had its legi-
innate effect of drawing together null
ti:udinous and motley assemblage. From
early in the morning until late at night
our streets swarmed with men, women
aud children-rangiDg in age from the
gray-haired grand-parent to the infant in
arms-all eager "to see the show" 1t is
estimated that over two thousand people
witnessed each performance. -Neao Jer-
seq Courier.

On Tuesday, 18th inst, as Mr.. Samuel
Opdycke, of Glen Gardner, was engaged
in picking apples from tree on his prem
Uses, the limb upon which he was stand
ing broke, letting him fall to the ground,
distance of about twenty feet. The left
side of his skull was fractured by the mis-
hap. He had bag fastened around his
neck into which he was putting the ap-
Piles as he picked them, and this addi-
tional weight caused him to fall head fore
most. The bag was found to be tightly
fastened around his neck when assistance
arrived, and had it not speedily been cut
loose it would soon have choked him to
death. Eminent physicians were sum-
moped to his side, but their efforts were
unavaiing, and on Tuesday last-one
week after the accident-he died.

A Philadelphia Judge, in charging

the city for any other purpose than pass
ing over them, allowing reasonable time
for unloading burdens and by custom
and necessity in large cities, to deposit
materials for building in course of cree
ton 10 reasonable quantity and space
and for reasonable time. No person
has the right to use the street as an an
mex to his place of business"
This is good law for Lambertville, as
we'll. Our store-keepers and others are
too much inclined to make a shop of the
street pavements. The miserable "stoops"
and porches that reach halfway across
our pavements, that block peoples pass
age, and into which one walks at nights,
also are nuisances that should be abated.

Above and Below.

Munich Cor. Texas Siftings.I
In this country, as in England, only
more so, society is divided into classes.
Each class is abjectly polite to the class
above it, and extremely insOlent toward
the classes below. The nobility that sur
round the king, grand duke, or whatever
the rank of the ruler may be, do not assO-
ciate with anybody except those who be
long to their own peculiar circle. The
government officials worship the nobility
above them, and so it goes all the way
down to the peasants, of whom the
wealthier ones look down with contempt
on the poorer peasants.
