Wicked LambertyiIle Man.
Lew. Runkle, the spicy local editor of
the Hunterdoa Democrat gives US the
following in this weeks issue of that
paper
We have for some time past had more
than a suspicion that there were some
bold, bad men in Lambertville, and we
have thought all to ourself that no field
in New Jersey presented such wide
range for a thorough evangelist as that
little Hunterdon city of Lambertville.
Just see how one of her young men fooled
his poor old mother. He told her few
mornings ago that he had lost the key
hole of his bureau, whereupon said moth
er began to search up stairs for it, and af-
terward called to him from the head Of
the stairs that he'd "bave to come and
look for 1t hims elf, y as she couldn't find
it. Was ever pure mischief carried to a
higher altitude than this second story
| Joke To think that this young scamp
would take bis mother from her work to
hunt for key hole that wasn't lost, is a
little too much for human endurance,
and the good woman would certainly
have been justified in giving her hopeful
son such ''lambastiDg" with her slipper
that he couldn't sit down without crying
couch ~ for a month to come.

 Hartford Times The last general as- sembly appropriated $500 for grading the grounds and placing coping around the Nathan Hale monument in Coventry. The secretary of state was authorized to ex- pend the money, but has not yet found it advisable to do so. The delay is wholly due to the fact that the appropriation, which was hastily made and without any previous estimate, is too small to pay for a permanent and suitable improvement in keeping with the style of the monument. Secretary Hubbard visited Coventry and Willimantic and invited and received sev- eral estimates but they were in every in- stance in excess of the amount available, 8 Id rather than incur any expense in ex- cess of the appropriation, he has decided to refer the matter to the next general as- sembly. The sum appropriated would have paid only for cheap and unsatisfactory work, and Secretary Hubbard decided, and wisely, too, that it would be best to postpone action for the present.

MONSON. TCORRESpONnENcE \

Daniel Moulton and wife of Moulton Hill are sorely afflicted by the loss of their children. Many of the old attendants at the Universalist church and Sunday school at Stafford Hollow will call to mind the three bright and interesting Moulton chil- dren, two boys and a girl, who used to drive down from the Hill to the services on pleasant Sundays. They are now dead, and their bodies lie at rest side by side in the little cemetery on the Hill. The cid est son died four years ago, aged 24; the second last spring, aged 22; and the youngest, the daughter, Elizabeth, aged 19, last May. The venerable Daniel Moul- ton, senior, and his wife, passed away from the same home at an earlier date. Altho' the family occupies modern house, the old house is still standing, and is memora- ble as the oldest building in Monson, the great stone chimney bearing the date of 1763. Elizabeth was bright, attractive girl, and beloved and admired by large circle of youthful friends. During the winter she taught the school in her home district. Although her strength failed from day to day, she performed the duties of her position with characteristic will and determination. And then: in the tender care of her beloved mother, she waited for death with patience and beauty that will long be pleasantly remembered by those who saw her in the last weeks sof her life. There was large attendance at the funer- al and many gathered at the grave around which wild flowers in bloom moved softly in the balmy air, and over which birds were singing. Many heart followed the bereaved parents back to the childless and lonely hone; and many sorrowed for the youth who walked by their side, to whom the hand of the dead maiden had been pledged. GYM
