The New Hope Building and Loan
Association, hold then regular monthly
meeting, this "Wednesday evening, in
stead of last Wednesday night, as was
stated in our last issue.
"A social party was held at the house
of Mrs. Mary Slack, on last Wednesday
evening. The dancing was excellent and
all parties present seemed TO heartily en-
joy the gay and festive pleasures afforded.
Now that Lambertvile has done so
remarkably well with her Skating Rink,
it might be well to try aud see what could
be done here with similar place. Who
will make the venture? There is party
in readiness to try it if they can get some
one TO Ego in" with them.
There was a shooting match on Mon
day, at Dark Hollow. Glass balls were
used, and the contesting marksmen were
active in their efforts to display their
skill. Tho prize was double barreled
breech loading shot gun. Messrs. Ed
ward Gorden and Scott Throne, of Lam
bertville, won the prize.
There was donation party held at
residence of John benson, Jr., on last
Friday evening. The guests were nu-
merous, and the gifts profuse and practi-
cal in their value to the grateful recipi-
ents. After the evening had been partly
spent in the reception of the visitors and
in kindly conversation, the remainder Of
the'time was devoted to tripping the "lighl
fantastic toe,n over the cottage floor
All concerned retired from the scene at al
early hour (the next day.
One of our oldest aud most widel,
known colored citizens, departed this life
on last Saturday last. George Frost, the
deceased, was an aged resident of ou
borough, and had been living here for {
number of years. He was PARTICULAR,
noted for his good nature, possessing 9
disposition happy to a remarkable degree
at all times ready with a smile or joke
for those he met in his every day routine
of life. We remember him from early
childhood, as one who seemed not to fee
the pressure of advancing age, SO active
and industrious were his habits. He died
at the residence of his brother David,
on Dark Hollow Hill.

THE REASON FOR HARD TIMES.
What Eats or Rather Drinks Up the Sub

Our annual expense for intoxicating
liquors is 5000, 100000. The excessive
taxation which they cause is $500, 600, 600.
Three fourths of all the crimes and three
fourths Of all the misery and poverty in
the country must BIO charged to alcohol.
Its victims annually thrown into drunk
ards graves number one hundred
thousand. Every year it drives ont into
the streets over three millions of little
children, hungry and in rags. In short,
it leaves one third of all the people 20
badly impoverished that they are not able
to buy the actual necessaries of life.
There is certainly an over-production
of beer and whiskey, and too small o
consumption of bread and meat, to say
nothing OF the scant supply regulated by
the small demand for dry goods ant
clothing. Bread costs $500, 900, 600
meat, $308, 600, 600; cotton and wooleI
goods, $452, 600, 900. Total, 81, 260, 600, 900
Now, take this total from the 81, 400, 600
600, which is the total of the expenses
for whiskey and beer, including the taxes
aud it will be found that just $40, 900,
600 is the amount annually paid TO
strong drink over and above the cost o
bread, meat and clothing. Is it any won
der that we have hard times, and tina
the liquor traffic stands almost alone un
/ paralyZed?

Ex- Vice-Pres. Schuyler Colfax sud
denly dropped dead at the Omaha depot,
at Mankato, Minnesota, at 1890 A. NJ,
on Tuesday of last week. He had just
walked distance of three-fourths of a
mile, with the thermometer at 80 de-
grees below zero. He had previously
been considered in good health. IL is
supposed that the extreme cold and the
subsequent heat of the waiting-room in
the station and over exertion caused IA
fatal arrangement of the hearts action.
He was 81 years OF age.

The New York World tells correspon-

addicted to this snobbish custom, and it

well proven its efficacy in forty years fight

Council Items.
A special meeting of City Council wa.
held last Friday evening. Present-Cal
Ian, Green, KEEPER, Mellick, Smith and
Wilmot. President Mellick in the Chair
The ordinance which was passed by
title at the last regular meeting was
again taken up and discussed the title
was amended and then it was passed on
second and third readings by a unanimous
vote. 1t is one of the most important
ordinances passed by our Council for
some years.
The Committee on Poor reported that
they had held a conference with Geo. p.
Wilson and had agreed to recommend to
the Council that an offer made by Mr..
Wilson to keep the legal poor on the same
conditions as before for the sum of $780,
for the ensuing year be accepted. The
Council therefore adopted resolution
accepting the offer and the Committee
were directed to have papers prepared
and signed.
The Finance Committee presented copy
of decree by the Vice Chancellor in the
case of Heath VS.. Malone to which the
City was made third party as it held
claims to the property on account of
taxes. The City's claims for taxes are
declared to be good since the year 1874,
including that year, and DEGREES that these
taxes, with statutory interest thereon
shall come in before the mortgage on the
property. 1t will be seen therefore that
not only property owners but all persons
holding mortgages are vitality interested
10 keeping the taxes paid up, otherwise
they may be eating out the value of the
mortgages, and the owners of these papers
may some day be obliged to advance the
whole amount of the taxes to keep their
hold on the property. There are proper
ties in this city now, which need prompt
attention by both owners and creditors
II a person allows his real estate to be
sold for taxes and then pays no attention
to the case, it is no sign he is rid of it, be-
cause he is not dispossessed. The law is
memorable, the accumulation goes on, and
will come up at last, if not before then,
in the settlement of his estate, to the in
jury of his wife and children. 1t puts a
cloud on the title to the property, which
can be got rid of only by paying. These
remarks are made because another deci-
sion recently given, put very erroneous
notions into some heads about this mat
ter, but the two decisions are really in
harmony. In that decision, as in this
also, certain tax sales are declared illegal,
because the officers had not done their
duty within the time prescribed by law,
but where the duty has been properly
done, there is no surer title than tax
title. Another point is that but one sale
is held to be necessary, after that the
taxes are to be charged up against the
property.
The decree above spoken of was Or
dered to be spread in full upon the min
utes, for tho information of future
Councils.

Public Installation


Public Installation.
Lone Star Lodge, No. 16, X. of p.
of this city, had public installation of i'll
officers, on Thursday evening, the 15tl
inst, at which there were number of in
vited guests. The ceremony was to have
been conducted by the grand officers Of
the state, but at the last moment they sent
excuses that they could not attend, so the
work devolved upon Peter Shepard, one
of their own members. 1t was an inter.
esting sight and an impressive one, and
was done as smoothly and as well, / have
no doubt, as if the grand officers them
selves had had control. There were many
things done and some things said, which,
Of course, were not understood by us out
siders, and could only be appreciated by
the initiated.
After the installation, and after the Of
ficers were placed in their respective sta
tions, the presiding officer after few pre-
liminary remarks, said short speeches were
in order and called on w. F. Hayhurst,
who responded in an appropriate manner
He compared the characteristics of the
various secret societies with one another,
showing that some had the advantage in
one thing and some another, especially in
a charitable and benevolent point ofview
Dr. j. Hayhurst was called upon, whose
speech was listened to with much inter
est, as he portrayed the good which might
result from proper use of the funds Ia
cases of sickness and distress. He was
followed by Mr.. G. II. w. Van Solver
who made some very pointed and feeling
remarks, which indicated to his hearers
that he actually knew more about certain
matters than he chose to tell, which seem
ed to draw from the audience an expires.
sion of appreciation. Mr.. John Fl. Black
was the next speaker. He compared the
features of Odd Fellowship and the Order
of Red Men, with that of the Knights, in
the various practices respectively held By
the above named orders.
They then adjourned to the banqueting
hall, where there was opened to view q
very pleasant feature of the occasion
Two long and well arranged tables
spread in an inviting manner with plates
and other paraphanalia of feast; around
which, soon assembled the whole meet

away the good things that had been pro
