MIR. William Malloy, residing on
North Main street, is quite poultry fan
cler, having raised tho present season
large flock of game chickens of choice
stock, which are we'll worth looking at
In the flock there is an old game hen that
is somewhat of a curiosity. Mr.. NJ. set a
steel trap to catch rats, covering the trap
carefully, as he supposed, 10 avoid dam
ger to his poultry, but the keen eye of
Mrs. game hen espied the feed on the
trap, and she forced her bill through an
opening to the trap, and Of course the
trap sprung and forced Its jaws upon the
hens bill, breaking the bone of the upper
jaw entirely off, leaving nothing but a
blunt stump. The peak of the lower jaw
protudes out to an unusual length, pre-
venting the hen from picking up corn or
feed, which makes it helpless to feed it
self in the usual way. While the other
poultry are feeding Mr.. NJ. says he feeds
it daily by placing heap of feed in a
place he has prepared; the hen scoops up
the feed aud swallows it in a comical
| fashion, and 1t is the same with milk that
is supplied to it to drink. 1t is quite a
pet, flying upon his shoulders and wait
ing patiently until the other fowls are fed.
He says that 1t can do most anything but
speak right out for its food, and that he
would not part with it, for it lays nice
large egg daily to repay him for his trou-
BILE and kind care.

Glover can be sown in the fall. The
seed is put in about the middle of August
or September. To prepare the land, plow
it now and let the seeds of weeds sprout.
just before seeding, plow the land again,
and dress it with mixture of thirty bush
els of lime and wood ashes. Harrow well,
SOW the seed and brush the land over, SO
as to lightly cover the seed. 1t will make
better ''catch" than when clover is seed

THE NATIONS DEAD


Four hundred thousand men,
The brave, the good, th true,
In tangled wood, In mountain glen,
On battle-plaln, In prison pen,
Lie dead for me and you.
-Four hundred thousand Of the brave
Have made our ransomed soil tn cir grave
For me and you,
Good friends for me and you.
In many fevered swamp
BY many q black bayou,
In many cold and frozen camp
The weary sentinel ceased his tramp
And died for me and you.
From Western plain to ocean tide
Are stretched the graves Of those who died
For me and you,
Good friends, for me and you.
On many bloody plain,
Their ready swords they drew,
And poured their life.blood like the rain,
home, heritage, to gain
To gain for me and you.
Our brothers mustered by our side,
They marched and fought and brayely died
For me and you,
Good friends, for me and you.
Up many fortress wall
They charged, those boys In blue,
Mid surging smoke and vo1ley's ball;
The bravest we're the first TO fall
To fall for me and you.
The noble men, the nations pride,
Four hundred thousand must have died
For me and you,
Good friends, for me and you.
Within that prison.h hold
Their martyr-spirit grew
10 stature like the giant of old,
While amid agonies untold
They starved for me and you.
The good, the patient and the tried,
Four hundred thousand men have died,
For me and you,
Good friends, for me and y0r.
A debt we ne'er can pay
To them Is justly due,
And TO the nations latest day,
Our children's children still shall say,
"They died for me and you"
Four hundred thousand Of the brave
Made this, our rans0med soil, their grave
For m and you,
Good friends, for me and you.

closing with Saturday last, brought 10
Butterfoss' canning establishment in this

double the quantity brought by any one

that they will impoverish the ground, but

The Hunterdon Democrat, referring
TO the ball game in this city, last Thurs
day, says: ''We have heard it asserted
that some over-zealous Lambertville cham
pions CREASED the ball when the Lambert
vile players went to the bat for the last
time, In the hope that the Flemingtons
would be unable to properly handle 1t,
thereby enabling the former to make
enough runs to win the game. 1t may be
true, but we prefer to wait for proof.
Such despicable meaness surpasses belief. "
This is incorrect. 1t was the truth that
was ssgreased" so that 1t slipped clear by
the fellow who invented that story.

An Evening of war RecollectIons.

A very pleasant meeting of veterans and
citizens was held last Wednesday evening
at the Union House, after the business
meeting of the Executive Board of the
10Th Regiment had adjourned. Speeches
were made, songs sung, stories told, Incl
dents related and recitations rendered, in
which all took part, and Comrades Gen
eral George Van Camp, Abram Trauger,
John Green, Jacob Stull and Phillip Yost,
did not get left, but kept up their end, to
tho credit of the city. Colonel E. w.
Davis was reminded by Wyckoff, Titus,
Fallon, Kline, Slater, Shrope, Decker,
Genung and the other comrades, of such
and such an event, and there would al
ways be one or more ready to vouch for
what was said, about various little Incl
dents,

way, leaving impressions that cannot fade

Dinner being announced, the line OF
march was taken to Lyceum Hall,
where substantial repast was in waiting.
The first thing TO attract the eye upon en-
tering the hall was an inscription suspend
ed from the center of the arch, sVeter-
ans, you braved you breasts in '6l-'65 for
us; to-day our hearts go out for you
CITIZENS. y
-Four tables the length Of the hall were
laden with substantial food, well cooked.
A blessing was asked by the Rev. j. II.
Boswell, and at the command ssCommence
firing, all became engaged and there was
no cessation of hostilities until the inner
man had been satisfied. 1t was a twelve
o'clock dinner, too.
At the conclusion, vote of thanks was
returned to the Mayor, the Citizens Com
mittees, and to the good people of Lam
bertville for the bountiful repast and the
warm reception extended to them.
Marshal Van Solver then, in witty
little speech, presented 20 Captain Slater
very handsome boquet, on behalf of
the ladies. The Captain responded in a
similar vein.
The committee in charge of the dinner
had no doubt what was required after a
good meal and those who smoked were
presented with good cigar.
This ended the formal reception, but
until the last train pulled out of the depot
at night there was every attention paid
the visitors that was becoming.
It is flattering TO those who had charge
of the reception, that not only Col. Davis
but many others, spoke of the arrange
ments as being as near perfect as could
possibly have occurred if they had made
out the programme. There was no drag,
and no hitch.
While all can feel pride in thus hav-
ing things pass off so pleasantly, it is no
more than justice TO speak word of
praise to the able committee under the
craftsmanship of Mayor Coryell. II one
committee can be separated from the
other subcommittee and given special
praise, 1t is the one in charge of the din
ner. Upon this committee and the ladies
who assisted them, the hardest work fell,
and 1t will help repay them to know that
their very valuable services were highly
appreciated
1t was great day and will long be re-
membcred by those who were visitors, as
well as by our citizens.
In the afternoon, Winkler's Band, by
direction of the committee, gave concerts
from the balconies of the four hotels, thus
enabling large number of people TO hear
the charming music rendered by it.
The Reception Committee entertained
the invited guests at the Lambertyille
House. Among the more prominent were
Hon. Samuel Fowler, Maj. E. G. Ander-
son, State Comptroller, Hon. George II.
Large and Hon. VIM. II. Martin.
Previous to the parade, the survivors of
the 10Th held their annual meeting, and
elected the following officers:
