A swind1er.
About the 9th of last month a man
giving his name as Alexander Van Scise
Tor Vansyse) accompanied by woman
and boy of seven or eight years, visited
Lambertville and professed to be in search
of his brother, who, he represented, had
recently removed here from New Bruins
wick. He said that he was from Canada,
and that he had deserted from the British
army. Under the pretence that his boy
was sick he begged money for medicines,
and under the representation that his
household goods were in New Brunswick,
and that he was unable to pay freight on
them, he got more money. He took
board at Mrs Tacy B. Moore's, on North
Main street, and there represented that
he had plenty of money, and that his
trunks had gone astray. On the evening
Of the Goth, he represented that he and
his wife and child were going to the
minstrel show, and they went out pro-
fessedly for that purpose, but, instead,
took the train for parts unknown, carry
ing off some articles of clothing, &C., be-
longing to their clearinghouse keeper.
Those who were thus swindled have been
very reticent about it and so we have just
learned of the facts. Van Scise has play
ed the same swindle in Bristol, Doyles-
town and other places. He is tall, thin,
smooth faced, and good talker. He has
told about the same story, and given the
same name in other places. He richly de-
serves "riding on a rail- and subse.
quent visit to state prison.

The Hotel and Saloon Keepers Union,
of Philadelphia, according to the North
american, one of the careful, conserva-
tive papers of Philadelphia, have declared
war against law and order-a cruel re-
lentless war, in which no mercy will be
shown to opponents of the liquor inter-
ests. At one of their secret meetings
held early this month in Industrial Hall,
the plan was revealed which is, in brief,
to boycott every Grand Juror who dares
to indict a saloon keeper.
A list of every Grand Jury will be Sc
cured by the Union, aud if "a true bill is
found against any saloon-keeper every
member will be furnished with the name
and address of each juror. Should the
juror be business man no sa loon keeper
will patronize him. Every other business
man who buys goods of the juror will also
be boycotted.
5000 saloon keepers, with their friends
and relatives, expect to be able to crush
any business man who as a juror, dares
to interfere with their business or in any
way oppose them.
Never before have the whiskists re-
sorted to such means as this. Their case
must be getting desperate. Who knows

Father Mathew used to make the fol-
lowing witty and ingenious answer to the
complaint of the makers and vendors of
liquor that lie was seeking by his temper
ance agitation to spoil their trade and
take the bread from the mouths of their
children: "a very fat old duck went out
early one morning in pursuit of worms
and after being out all day, she succeeded
in filling her crop full. She had the mis-
fortune TO be met by fox, who at once
proposed to take her life TO satisfy his
hunger. The old duck appealed, argued,
implored, demonstrated She said to the
fox: You cannot be so wicked and hard
hearted as to take the life of harmless
duck merely to satisfy the cravings Of
hunger p She exhorted him against the
commission of SO great sin, and begged
him not to stain his soul with innocent
blood. When the fox could stand her
cant no longer, he said: Out upon you,
madam, with all your fine feathers; you re
a pretty thing to lecture mo for taking
life to satisfy my hungry. Is not your
crop full of worms? You destroy more
lives in one day than do in month p -

While the funeral services of The wife
of Mr.. Charles NJ. Pettee were in pro-
gress, last Saturday morning, at his resi-
dence on Church street, alarm was crea
ted among the audience by the issuing of
smoke and flame from the register in the
parlor floor, on the second story, where
the services were being held. A stampede
came very near occurring among the
ly, as the stairway was narrow; but it was
prevented by the immediate explanation
that some small article had fallen down
the register and had taken fire, and that
there was no danger.
REV. w. E. Davis, of Lebanon, N.
j. has recently enjoyed rather singular
experience. During the week ending Jan.
2, he performed every function of his min
isterial office. He preached the usual
Sabbath sermons, enjoyed a social dinner,
officiated at funeral and a wedding, su-
perntended Bible class and prayer
meeting, preached preparatory lecture,
administered the rite of baptism to infant
and adult, received members TO the COM
munion on certificate and confession,
nominated new consistory, administer
ed the Lords Supper and set in operation
missionary society Christian lntelti-
geneer.
The funeral of Mr.. Cornelius Arnett,
of this city, took place from the M. E..
Church, last Friday morning, and was very
largely attended, not only by people from
this town, but from abroad. The sermon
was preached by his pastor, Rev. J. A.
Dilks, and remarks were made by Rev. w.
p. G. Strickland, a former pastor of the M.
E. Church here, by Rev. ]. B. Graw, Pre-
siding Elder, and by Rev. P. A. Studdi-
ford, D. D., of the Presbyterian Church
of this city. His funeral was attended by
Leni Lenape Lodge, l. o. o. F., of this
city, and by the Union Fire Co., No. /, of
which organizations the deceased was a
member.
AT the Union Rink in this city, on
Monday evening last, first-class enter
tainment was given. Prof. o. G. Fuller
gave two exhibitions-fir first, fancy and
trick skating, with the regular size
skates, and second, in grand burlesque,
on rollers inches in diameter and
weighing II pounds. There was also
very exciting and interesting one.mile
race between Master Long, of Trenton,
and Master Ewing Tibbels. of this city,
which was won by the latter.
Tomorrow Thursday evening there
will be an exhibition by home talent
Mr.. Hervey Biting in an exhibition of
plain and fancy bicycle riding, and Mas

Joseph Cook in an address last week,
in the Academy of Music, Philadelphia,
said:

Both of the great political parties are
afraid of the whisky syndicate. There
are 100, 900 of its victims in this Republic
every year. Slavery never destroyed so
many lives as intemperance, and slavery
was abolished. The slaughter of the
Chinese was due 10 the main to the liquor
traffic. 1t was at the bottom of the Gin
cinnati riot. Only yesterday an attempt
was made to kill one of your Lancaster
judges because he refused to grant IL
cense. l believe that the liquor men will
grow holder and more audacious until
they riot and shed blood, which will lead
to their determination. Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad. f"
The following thoughts we're also ex-
pressed ON the same occasion, and by the
same speaker:
what if the Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania should pass law that every one
who drinks habitually should lose bis
good Judgment, be allowed to make no
bargains or transact business Civiliza-
tion's hair would raise on end. What il
it went further and said that every habi
tual drinker should lose his good health?
You would stand aghast. What if, finally,
it should say that the habtual drinker,
having lost his health, his disease should
be carried down to the third and fourth
generations You would withdraw with
disgust from any campaign for the sup
port of such laws.
"lf you please, the supreme powers
have made all these laws, and, for 5000
years, have executed them, and the SUI
preme powers have never once made an
apology.

Why do ye spend your money for that
which is not bread and your labor for
that which satisfieth not? may well be
asked of those whose money is worse than
wasted on whiskey and beer.
1t must be consoling to those who work
hard from early m orning to late to earn a
dollar or dollar and half, to know that
if their families can not have all of the
necessaries and some of the lnxuries of
life, the saloon.keepers families can have
all of these things. If this thought
wouldn't make man stop on his way
home and leave five or ten cents as "a con-
tribution towards the happiness of some
man who is too lazy to work, don't
know what would.

The closing lecture of the " Library
Course" at Holcombe Hall, last Wed.
nesday evening, by Burdette, the hui
morist, was well attended, and the audi
ence was well pleased. The lecture was
compound of fun and wisdom, and had
more of literary merit than his former
lecture on 1.-THE Rise and Fall Of the
Moustache. The course has paid but
little over expenses. The expense of
securing first class talent land nothing
but first class talent pays at alD is so
great that nothing is left in towns like
ours for those who work up the enter
tainment. However, the course was a
delightful one, and every person re-
ceived his moneys worth.

or October while in blossom. This will
prevent it from seeding, and as it is an
annual, the weed will die. Next spring
either clover or grass will keep it from
becoming troublesome.
Farmers near Lyons, n. y, who grow
most of the peppermint produced in
this country, are hurrying their crop
to market. The price has opened at
s2,55 to $3.50 a 0ound. This is con-
si'lerably higher than was paid at the
opening Of Tie market year ago, but
then the price advanced to $3.50, and
even higher, later in the season. The
continuance of cholera in Southern
Europe creates large demand for pep
permint oil, which would be greatly
Increased if cholera came to this coun-
try another season. The crop is profit
able where grown in quantities large
enough to pay for establishing a dis
tillery.

joram, pepper and salt. Mix all these
ingredients thoroughly, moisten them
with the beaten whites and yolks of
two eggs until they form stiff paste;
form into balls or sausages and fry.
INK stains on mahogany furniture
will disappear if treated as follows:
Put six drops Of spirits of nitre into
teaspoonful of water, and touch the
stained part with feather dipped in
the mixture Immediately after this,
rub with soft cloth and cold water
to prevent white mark.
GRASS stains are troublesome to re-
move, but soft soap and soda is usually
effectual. After wetting the stained
parts rub in the soap and as much
baking soda as will adhere. Let this
stand half an hour and wash in the
usual manner. Whiting is also used
with soft soap for the same purpose.
INK stains may be removed from
white goods by saturating the spot
with water and then covering with
pounded salts of lemon. Put in the
sun for five minutes, wash with soap
and rinse. A paste of chloride of lime
and water well rubbed in will take ink
stains from silver or plated ware.
Wash and wipe as usual.
