Soldiers, Row.

In the old cemetery of St Thomas
Church of Alexandria, is row of six
graves of Revolutionary soldiers. One
is that Of John Lee, a Private in Capt.
Maxwell's Company, End Hunterdon
Regiment, State Troops. He lived near
kingwood Presbyterian Church. One,
of Joshua Furman, Private in Capt.
fuckers Company. LIST Hunterdon
Regiment, State Troops. He was a
brother of Jonathan Furman of Hope
well. and an uncle of Hon. Moore Fur
man, Dep. Commissary, first Mayor of
Trenton, Judge of Hunterdon Court &c.
lie lived, at the time of his death, where
John S. Burd now lives. One, of John
Van Camper, Drummer belonging to
the State Troops. He lived where
Clarke Card now lives, a quarter OF a
mile from the church. And one, of
Richard Mills, Private in Capt. Bow
mans Company Eight. LIST Battalion,
Jersey Line of Troops. He was a
native of England; came to this country
with the Exton's when young man;
worked as farm laborer till the war
commenced; enlisted in the army; saw
much hard service; wns honorably mus
tered ont at tho close of the war; and
spent the remainder of his life, with
Sailie Mills his wife, where William
frltts now lives, on the Hickory Road,
two miles from Pittstown.
The names of the other two are uu.
known in this community. Neither of
the graves have inscriptions, but are
marked with stones from the field or
fence-row. In painful contrast, across
the path and nearly opposite, is that of
well-known Tory, with beautiful
marble slab and inscription. The graves
OF Lee and Mills are identified; the
others are uncertain. They were made,
presumably, in the order in which the
deaths occurred, beginning at Lees and
ending at Mills; for they are at regular
distances, and no others very near. If
they received pensions, their applica-
tions and accompanying papers would
indicate their residence and presumable
identity, and the register would show
when each one died. They were poor,
and no doubt buried near where they
lived Efforts will be made by the
writer to ascertain the names of the I'M
known two, and the identity of the four.

1t is said that more than 600 liquor
dealers in Hudson county will go out of
business on July LIST, unless the High
License law is declared invalid. This
threatened retreat of the six hundred
would be not an unmixed calamity, and
there is no very general popular anxiety
that thu validity OF the law shall be
passed upon by the Supreme Court as
speedily as possible in order to save the
bacon OF the much troubled liquor deal

Court, it would be the tactics of their
counsel, the ingenious and wary Albeit,
to delay matters as long as possible.

dilatory motions and resort to that time

the patience of the foes OF the gin mill
was exhausted. But the boot is on the
other leg. Unless the law is declared
null and void before July LIST, the anxi-
GUS and angry six hundred will go out
Of business. Accordingly, under the
advice Of their counsel, Mr.. Albeit,
they have made up case which is de-
signed to test the constitutionality OF
the law. They refuse to pay $3.50 for
an annual license, holding that the old
law is yet in force. And, having raised
that point. the liquor dealers are clamor-

Do you have obstruction of the nasal
passages, discharges from head and
throat, sometimes profuse, acrid and wa
terry, at others, thick, tenacious, mucous,
purulent, bloody, putrid and offensive;
dull, heavy headache most of the time,
with occasional splitting headaches"
are your eyes weak, watery, or infiamed;
is there ringing 10 the ears, with more or
less deafness; do you have to hack, cough
and gag, in your efforts to clear your
throat in the morning; do you expector-
ate offensive matter, scabs from ulcers,
perhaps tinged with blood; is your voice
changed and is there a "nasal twang' to
it; is your breath offensive; are your
senses of taste and smell impaired ? If
you have all or any considerable number
of these symptoms, you are suffering
from that most common and dangerous
OF maladies--chronic nasal catarrh. The
more complicated your disease has be-
come, the greater the number and diver
sity Of symptoms. No matter what stage
1t has reached, DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rene
dy, which is sold by druggists at only so
cents, will cure it. The manufacturers
of this wonderful remedy offer, in good
faith, $500 for case of this disease which
they cannot cure.

English, You Know.

The New York "Sun" says: awe
have received copies of some campaign
badges, made of silk aud alleged to be
issued in the Democratic interest. One
of them represents the masculine pom
derosity OF MIR. Cleveland, the other the
feminine loneliness of Mrs. Cleveland;
and under her name is the inscription:
Queen of sixty millions of free people. ,
These badges are very beautifully en-
broidered, but they won't do. Each
one of them bears evidence that it was
made by Thomas Stevens of Coventry,
England. That is enough. We don't
want any English in ours. That same
thing may be said about the red ban
danas which are hourished SO uni
versally in honor of glorious old Thur
man. 1t appears that, while cotton ones
are manufactured in abundance in Amer
lea, silk ones are only made in Great
Britain.

"A wonderfully successful blast was
made in the Nickleson stone quarry,
Yardley, Pa, recently, by Jas. Shuvelin,
lessee. A solid breast wall, 30 feet high,
80 feet face or front and 10 feet back, was
upheaved, cracked, splintered and top
pied over by 23 kegs of powder, run
down 20 feet below the surface. II is es-
timated that this blast completely loosen
ed up from SO to 40 boat loads of stone
each boat carrying 100 TONS A perch of
this fine solid stone weighs from 1850 to
$500 pounds; therefore there were torn
loose nearly 1, ZOO, 900 pounds of stone, or
some 1000 tons OF the best stone were
thrown up in this quarry.
Thirty years ago the part Of the Del
aware Division Canal from New Hope to
Bristol was through line of commerce.
A person never could look at it with
out seeing two or three boats going
one way or the other. The sound OF the
boat horn was constantly heard near the
locks, and sometimes there would be jams
and distinctions, when the voices of the
boatmen were not as sweetly melodious as
their horns. Business thrived at stores
and stables along tho line, kept up to ac-
commodate boatmen.f Now all this is a
thing of the past. The outlet lock at
New Hope takes most of the through coal
trade, what little there is, for the railroad
now carries the great bulk of that article.
From New Hope down to Bristol the
canal is there Q, but it is scarcely "yexed
by keel The lock tenders while away
their time in fishing or doing nothing.
What trade there is is mostly local-coal
for the merchants along the line and at
Bristol, stone from the quarries along
the line, lime from points above to far
mers in the lower end of the country, and
an occasional load of wood. Weeds and
bushes encroach on the path of the pa
tient mules, grass grows in the sluggish
ditch, the farm bridges are becoming
decayed and unsafe. Its days of useful
ness aud profit have passed away. 1t is
now under lease of the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Company. The upper part
Of the canal may be profitable, but GER
tainly the lower part is not. -Newfoson

Job A. Davis.
Incidents in tho lives of great inventors
are always interesting It is said of Job
A. Davis, the great inventor of the Davis
Sewing Machine, that more than twenty
years ago. when he used to travel from
place to place, representing, explaining
and selling his machine, he could take an
ordinary pocket knife, piece Of wood
and scrap Of iron and in short time
produce a machine that would actually
sew, astonishing as it may seem ! This
remarkable characteristic in this mans
genius suggests the cause for the marvel
Gus simplicity of the machine bearing his
name, which, with its many other advan-
tages, gives 1t place In the front rank of
modern inventions. What revolution
in the history Of the sewing machine has
taken place during these years Every in
habited and civilized portion of the globe
now Tesounds with the music Of this
"friend Of womankind. Europe has
long acknowledged the superiority of
"The Davis;' and Australia and New
Zealand are fields where it is monarch
of all it surveys" The Vertical Feed"
is the principal and distinguishing feature
Of this machine, separating it from and
placing it above the popular machines of
other makes. To be appreciated and I'M
derstood, this new feed method should be
seen in operation. The stitch made by
the machine is both sure and beautiful.
