The Trenton Emporium truthfully
and pertnently says: "The most emil
nent professors of medicine in the country
make no claim that they can cure cancer.
By the use of the knite and heroic treat
ment it can be alleviated. But circus
doctor pitches his tent in this city and
claims to cure cancer as easy as case of
flatulence. Now people should not be
deceived by such claptrap. If your own
ply stefan cannot cure you, and Trenton
has as good doctors as there are in the
country, these travelling mountebanks can
do nothing but rob you of your money"

On recent Sunday as Mr.. Il. K
Everitt, of Pennington, was driving tc
church, he noticed that all of sudden his
fine young horse had gone lame. He
stopped to make an examination of the
horses foot in an effort to ascertain the
cause, when he discovered to his great
regret that the animals leg was broken,
which accident must have occurred as he
was jogging slowly along the road. The
horse had to be killed. There is no ac-
counting for some accidents. This is a
most curious one.- Hunterdon Democrat.

chine agent who has his office on Broad
street, in Trenton, reported to the police
on Monday, that he had been the victim
of highway robbery. He said he was
in Dark Lane collecting money and had

man appeared, and the two strangers
grabbed at the bills. One of them got
them, and both ran away. The police at

"Old Sylvie" and her gay young daugb-
ter, aged rs, visited this neighborhoed
again last week, on a begging tour. Old
Sylvie is one of the marvels of the age.
1t has been satisfactorily proven that she
is one hundred and sixteen years old, and
she has very few of the infirmities of that
age; can still enjoy her pipe and good
hearty meal with zest, and although en-
tirely toothless, knows nothing of indi-
gestion. She and her daughter have de.
pended for years upon public charity for
subsistence, and Sylve can still walk and
carry a basket of provisions for miles
with ease.-Btaaoeaburg correspondent TO
Unionist. Gazette.
Old Sylvie is an old colored lady living
on Sourland Mountain, and is one of the
oldest persons living. A few years ago a
very interesting book was written describ-
ing her mode of living. 1t was then
learned from different sources that she
was born in 1859, therefore she is at pres
emit 116 years old and notwithstanding
her remarkable age she is as hale and
hearty as most people of 60.-Democrat.

And the bell toiled out the psalm for the dead !;

The doors were shut for the silent hours.

She rose with the vague sleep still in her head
And clad in the shroud that wraps the dead.
She LEFT the cold graves under the walls
And took the street to her husband 5 halls.
she felt her long dead bosom ache,
For her seven children were ali awake:
And none had broken them bread that night,
Or poured them beer or trimmed light.
And none had laid them pillow or sheet
The duS, of the day was on their feet.
Two strave for an emp'y cup, and one
Was crying-that Was her youngest son.
She washed and kissed them, and hushed their
cries;
While tears pressed ont of her long dead eyes.
But their father. who lay on a lower floor,
Had heard her step in the corridor.
And lie arose and came and saw he stand
With the children clinging to either hand.
She said, The CRYING smote my heart
1t broke my dreams OF death apart
~ was 10th to leave these seven. died.
But when have slept when the child mas cried
Take note, ere pass to my many dead
Your children woke and had no bread,
No fire, no lamp; two were at strife;
One cried uncontrolled. Tell your wife.
