Yesterday TUESDAY morning, at
about half-past three o'clock, William w.
Me rshon died at his residence ON Centre
s treet, Trenton. He had been confined
to the house since about the LIST of March
last, suffering from Brigbt's disease of
the kidneys. Mr.. Mershon had been in
the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and Camden & Amboy Railroad
Company for nearly forty years, and for
seventeen years past was the ticket agent
at the Warren Street Station. He was
fifty-nine years of age, and during this
last illness suffered intensely, his agony
at times being almost unbearable. Mr..
Mershon was we'll and favorably known
to many of our Lambertville people.

An exchange says: "You may be able
to get large weekly newspaper filled with
accounts of murders, scandal cases, cock
fights, ETC., for the same money you pay
for your local papers, but these city
weeklies do not advertise your county
and make your property valuable. They
don't help along your schools and
churches they say nothing of you and
your town, and have no interest in you.
A good newspaper is as much advantage
to town or county as are good schools.
If one of our farmer friends should hap
pen into one of these offices, he would
find out in minute that he had no cor
dial welcome such as he would receive in
the printing office at home. Stand by
your home papers, for they always stand
by you, and are always on the lookout
for your own interest"

Freeholders VS.. Henry.

Freeholders VS.. Henry.
The case of the Board of Freeholders of
Hunterdon County VS.. Catharine Henry,
a lunatic, to recover from her the amount
of money paid by the Court for her keep
ing at the Asylum at Trenton for two
years, which was heard and decision re-
served by the Chief Justice, has been de-
cided. The Chief Justice holds that the
County having paid out the various
amounts for necessaries for the defendant
although there was legal obligation only
for the first year, by reason of the Board
of Freeholders not requiring the neces-
sary application and certificate for the
second year; yet it being for necessaries
the law will raise an implied promise to
pay on her part. The case excited great
deal of attention amongst the members of
the Bar, being new one in this State.
For the County, o. P. Chamberlin, coun-
sci of the Board, and Voorhees, s. Colter.
For defendant, r. S. Kuhl.

HIGH LICENSE.

There was little item in late copy of
Friends InteHigencer from "the present
ment of the Grand jury" in relation to
the liquor traffic, in which high license is
recommended instead of prohibition. In
my view, entirely prohibiting the making,
importation and sale of all intoxicants as
beverage is the only way for US as ma
tion to prosper and do justice to all the
people.
High license means nothing that l can
see but the giving strength to the liquor
league. The laws now in existence for
bid the selling to habitual drunkards, and
yet when the broken-hearted wives of
such and their children have protested
against it, they have been met with the
reply: that as long as these deluded men
had the money to pay for their drink they
should have it. The fact is, most of those
who deal in liquors want neither law nor
order. All days and nights are alike to
them. l hope Christians will not give
authority wait until all are ready for a
change, it will not come. If Maine had
not moved forward without waiting for
all her people to come into the measure,
she would not be where she is to-day,
blessing and being blest by all who ap-
preciate wise and wholesome legislation.
| fully believe that intoxicants and
stimulants are of no advantage to man
under any circumstances. In an expert
ence of over fifty years I cannot say that
l was ever benefited by the use of either,
and the same testimony is borne by many
who have charge of large hospitals in this
country and in Europe.

ladies to young ones. Madam, yon may

hair from falling off, restore the original
color and make it long, thick soft and

oily, not dye, but is an elegant dressing,

cleanliness and parity. May 81.

Colvert, Cecil Co., Md, Cd month, IS
THEIR BFsT CUSTOMER.

Ihhilt
The Lever and Liberator puts forth
statement which seems terrible TO be-
lieve-yet one which no calm thinker can
really find reason to doubt. 1t is to the
effect that it is mistake to suppose that
liquor sellers are opposed to drinking to
excess but to the contrary, it is when
one has drank to excess, and lost COM
mand of his God-given faculty for gov
erning himself, that he is looked upon as
their most profitable customer.
at is when moderate drinkers have
gone home," says this contemporary,
'and only the crowd of drunken men re-
main, that the liquor seller reaps his har-
vest 1t is when men have lost their rea-
son that they forget the value Of money
and spend it with prodigal hand, not
even knowing If the right change is re-
turned or not at all. 1t is then that they
are easily persuaded to drink again and
again and to treat all that arc within call.
The liquor seller who would turn such
party from his house, or close his place
against them SO long as they had a dollar
left, has not yet been born. Those who
hear these criminals talk at all will often
hear them speak of their admiration for
the man who can take a drink without
going too far, but they admire him only
because they know il he drinks at all he
will sometimes go too far, and then he
will be source of profit to them. 1t
stands to reason that the hard drinker is
the best customer
Let our boys and girls think of this now
while their ideas are forming, and ask
themselves whether or no the business, as
so often claimed, can be respectable, and
whether respectable people can uphold it
and not get pitch upon their hands.
