Death of General Grant.
The news of the death Of General Grant
was received with profound sorrow in this
city, last Friday morning, and at IL
o'clock, noon, the church and other bells
were tolled for half an hour. A number
of our business places are draped in
mourning, among the neatest being those
of r. H. Van Horn & Bros. and w. F.
Finger and Bro.
On Sunday morning last, Rev. P. A.
Studdiford, d. d.. preached in the Pres
byterian Church, a sermon with special
reference to Gen. Grants life, services,
and death, which was both able and dis
criminatingly just in its estimate of the
man.
At the NJ. E. Church, in the morning,
Rev. J. A. Dilks also gave up the hour to
a service in memory of the great General.
His address was patriotic, pertinent and
comprehensive, and was listened to with
marked interest.
On Sunday evening, at the Baptist
Church, "Grant Memorial Service" was
held. Hymns appropriate to the occa,
sion were sung, and an excellent memorial
sermon was preached by Rev. c. II.
Woolston. Major G. A. Angel Post and
members of Co. G, 7th Regiment, were
present. The church was neatly draped.
We understand that it is the intention
of the clergy to hold union service on
the day of General Grants funeral, Au-
gust 9Th.

Stocking the Delaware with shad.


During the past fishing season the New
Jersey Fish Commission had r. B. Read
ing, of Bulls Island, and Thomas Kilmore,
OF Point Pleasant, assisted by n gang of
expert fishermen, engaged in spawning
and Matching young shad, at Lower
Blacks Eddy, and from their report we
learn that over four million young shad
were Matched and turned out into the
Delaware, besides supplying large num-
Der of eggs to the United States Fish
Commissioners for Matching purposes, to
be placed in other streams. The United
States Commissioners claim they put in
the Delaware larger number of the
young fry than the N. J Commission did
and also over zoe, 900 Potomac shad at or
near Lambertyille. The propagation of
shad appears to be quite an industry, and
those fishermen who make a livelihood by
catching shad, in season, can rest assured
that If nothing happens to the little ones,
which were liberated short time ago.
'hey VIII return in few years, full
grown and good "catch" will be the
result. Mr.. Reading, who had charge of
the "gang" during the season has had
considerable experience in shad hatch
ing, and for number of years served as
one OF the New Jersey Fish Wardens. He
is known from one end of the river to the
other, and has the reputation of also be-
ing an expert black bass fisherman. Mr.
Kilmore, who handles all the shad while
being spawned, has been years at the
business, and his services are always en-
listed when the river is to be stocked
with fish. "Tom,' as he is Familiarity
called, always tends to the Matching pro-
cess.-Doylestown Democrat.

Valley Road Extensions.

Valley Road Extensions.
There is talk about the Lehigh Valley
Railroad extending its branches north
from Clinton, and southwest from Flem-
ington, the former to reach Schooley's
Mountain and drain the adjacent country;
the latter to give Pennington another
line to the Delaware River In converse
tion recently with well-posted Lehigh
Valley official, reporter learned that
there was little doubt but that the latter
road would be built, provided the right
of way was secured. The Lehigh Valley
road is anxious and willing to oblige its
patrons and acquire new territory, but
in these dull times hesitates about any
unnecessary outlay. Should the Poop le
provide the right of way, however, the
building of the road would be a question
Of time only.
AT that conversation, the project of OK :
tending the Clinton branch towards
Schooley's Mountain had not been learn
ed of hereabouts. The people along the
proposed line seem anxious to have it
built, as it would be doubly advantage
GUS to them, and doubtless secure road.

not be secured without recompense. We
imagine the time is not far off when the
Valley will run through trains from the

We have received lengthy commu-
nication (too late for publication), re-
specting the neglect to open the Sandy
Ridge Baptist Church, for recent funer-
al. According to our correspondent, some
dispute as to whose right it was to dig
the grave was the cause of the difficulty.
Newspapers are hardly the proper tri-
bunal to try such cases. A little religion
and common sense, mixed together, will
generally settle such questions, without
any quarreling.

For THE RECORD.
+" FOR WHOSE BENEFIT.u


Mr.. EDIToR:-I presume your readers
generally are not particularly interested
in the affairs of the Hunterdon County
Mutual Fire Insurance Company but
whether so or not, those who took the
trouble to read the article in your paper
of the 22d inst, will be apt to get a wrong
impression as to the facts of the case. 1t is
not the first time by any means, that
those farther up stream have found fault
with those below, for the condition of the
water around them.
Allow me briefly to give some facts
touching certain points that your cores
pondent has made use of as frame work
or excuse for the article. The policy
holders of the Hunterdon Co. Mutual Fire
Insurance Co., were ne0er called together
to devise plan for dividing the surplus
in the treasury, as is stated by your cor
respondent; they acre invited to give
their views on the question of a reinsur-
ance of their risks and half dozen or SO
out of over two hundred, met March 5,
1885, and without either propriety or much
consideration, took a cote on how the
money on hand should be divided. AL
though such vote had no legal force I'M
less confirmed by the Board, it was
thought by some of the Directors, that it
would be the proper thing to call the
policy holders together again, that they
might consider the action of the meeting
of March 5, 1885.
That second hasty meeting your cor
respondent refers to was held more than
too months after the first, and by active
drumming on the part of that large ma
jortty, twenty-five or thirty policy hold
ers were got together, and on motion to
reconsider the action of the former meet
ing, a majority voted no. That was all
the action had at that meeting and of
course it changed nothing. There was
no designations offered; nothing of the
kind. Those of the majority in the first
meeting, with such friends as they could
influence, simply held the record as it
was, the desire to be consistent, perhaps,
being stronger than other considerations.
The Directors have held several meet
ings since this question was up, and by
their action have agreed to make dis
tribution of the money in the Treasurer's
hands, on the basis of the amount of the
policies held at the time they voted to
reinsure the risks, and have instructed
their committee to convert the securities
held into cash, for that purpose. Why it
is not done the said committee should
know, and not the minority, who were
opposed to and voted against the plan.
No action has ever been taken by the
Directors, to bring either a friendly or
untrieadly suit in the courts, to settle
this affair. No individual of the minori-
ty has ever laid straw in the way of the
majority, and their committee, doing
just as they voted to do, and yet there
seems to be disposition on the part of
the promoters of the majority scheme, as
voiced by this Lamb" to hold the mi
nority responsible for all tho delay, be-
cause they, the minority, know it is
wrong and dare to say so.

A Dog Law Suit,

Dog Law Suit.
Some days ago, the town dog catcher
happened to be in the vicinity of the resi-
dence of NJ. L. Trimmer, Esq, on York
street, just as his pet dog jumped out of
the window into the street. Mrs. Trim
mer ran to the door to call the dog in, but
the dog catcher was too quick for her and
had hold of the dog and was putting a
rope around his neck. Mr.. T. was sent
for, and learning the circumstances, took
the dog away from the catcher" There
upon, warrant was issued upon COM
plant of the Catcher" and trial was
had before Justice Kitchen, last Thurs
day The jury disagreed, and was dis
charged.
Common sense would teach that the
dog catcher had no business with that
dog. de was not running. at large"

ordinance evidently is intended to reach

Hunterdon's Census.

HunterdOn's Census.
The Hunterdon Democrat saws: The
Lambertville Record questions whether
Hunterdon's population has fallen of
over one thousand during the past
five years, as the census enumerators re-
port to the Secretary of State, and attri-
butes the shrinkage to loose or careless
census taking.
We think our Lamberrvile brother is
mistaken in his deductions. The enum
GRAFTON was made by the assessors of the
various townships, and as they were allow
ed two cents for each name, an incentive
was afforded them to hunt close after
every inhabitant. This we believe was done
The assessors of the county are mostly
men who have been long in the service,
and they know every house, crook and
Granny of their respective townships.
The tendency for the past few years
has been for people to crowd into the
towns and cities. Take Raritan town
ship. Assessor DeMott informs us that
while he finds 161 more Inhabitants in
Pennington than there were five years
ago, the surrounding parts of the town.
ship show loss of about 200.
No doubt this ratio of loss and gain
will hold good in every township in the
county, aud while here and there town
may have increased some in population
the loss in the townships has been much
greater, or enough to account for total
loss of /, $50 in in the county since 1880.
The rapid increase in the large cities
like Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, etc.,
is pretty good evidence that the country
people are moving to considerable ext tent,
as we have said, for there are now many
empty houses throughout the country
districts, and the number of children less
than five years of age in the cities which
show an increase, is not sufficient to &C.
count for it.
We are of the opinion that the census
enumerators of Hunterdon did their
work thoroughly, and it certainly is not
their fault that the county shows a loss
of over eleven hundred in population
since 1880.
