"A grand entertainment came off at

Delaware township, near Stockton, on
Friday afternoon of last week. Some
were present from this city, and all speak
in the highest terms of the affair.". About
two years since Mr.. Watman made appli-

to the Pennington road, opposite the resi-
dence of Benjamin Larson, Esq, dis
lance of nearly two miles. Mr.. w. met with
some bitter opposition, but now on the

Big Tree.
A lady of this city has been on visit
to Hunterdon county, and communicates
to the journal some facts in regard to
tree which is growing in the vicinity
of Sergeantsville. 1t is ON the farm of
Elisha Award, and is known to be one
hundred and twenty-five years old-per-
haps more. A string was shown this
morning which had been used for mea-
surfing the circumference of the tree,
and it was seventeen feet long. The
tree is 125 feet in height, of the live oak
variety, and the roots extend to such a
distance that they come into cellar one
hundred feet away. The limbs are from
seyenty-ive to eighty feet in length.
What is somewhat strange is that under
the tree is spring which holds about
ten barrels of water. During the drought
of four years ago the families] of seven
farmers were supplied with water from
the spring, which has never been known
to go dry. A resident of this city was
employed on the farm where the tree is
situated. The tree is undoubtedly the
largest in the State, and the owner has
refused large sum for it.-Elizabeth

AS a society man Col. Chambers was a
gentleman of the highest type. 1t must
be admitted that he was little choice in
his company, which rendered him as one
of the elite of the city; he sought the
wealthy, the intelligent and the refined,
for he embraced these qualities himself;
he chung to that class among whom he
mingled in earlier years; he held fast his
friends within the line of responsibility,
and still he was friend to the unfortu-

held good. As an individual he was a
man of reserved disposition to stranger,
but genial towards those who knew him,

military in his step, undemonstrative in
