the giving of the printing contract to the
highest bidder over the lowest, is fall
ure, because the cases are not similar.

Mr.. r. II. Van Horn and wife, of this
city, are guests of the N. j. Editorial
making this week to Old Point Comfort,
Va. A note from Mr.. Van Horn informs
us that they are having pleasant time,

Hygeia Hotel, where the Association is
stopping, is a splendid one, and very
large.

Ono evening last week, as a colored
waiter at Zeigler's hotel was crossing Main
street below Bridge, late at night, hav-
ing been out giving lessons on the guitar to
pupil, he was attacked by four brave fell
lows, who broke his guitar to pieces, but
did not hurt him seriously. 1t is to be
hoped that our authorities will use vigor-
GUS efforts to arrest these offenders.
Margaret Devinc, aged SO, who has
been an inmate of our city poor house
since 1877, died this morning, from an at
tack of palsy. Mr.. Wilson, Keeper of the
Poor for Lambertvile, has been very kind
to her during her sickness and has given
her every attention. This however, is
not exceptional, as Mr.. w. is kind
hearted man, and cares we'll for all of the
poor entrusted to him.
The new banner, carried to-day by
st. Elmo Commandery. of this city, for
the first time, was made by Hortsman
Bros, of Philadelphia, and cost $125. 1t
is considered very low price. The paint
ing on the face of the banner, represents
the famous Castle of St. Elmo, which was
held by the Crusaders against all the at
tacks of the Saracens. 1t is a beautiful
painting and the banner is really work
of art. 1t is elegant and chaste in design.
The grand parade of the Knights
Templar, and the dedication of the Tenn
plar room of the new Masonic Temple in
Trenton, will take place today. Some
fifteen or sixteen Communicates will be
in line, each one with band. The Easton
Commandery passed through this city to-
day in the 12:41 train. st. Elmo, of this
city, left after making short parade, in
a special train, at 10 o'clock. Several of
our citizens accompanied tho Knights, to
witness the parade.
