Mr.. VIM. G. Reick, editor of the Paris
edition of the New York Herald, took sup
per at the Jamesburg Hotel one evening
this week. while waiting to take the
train for his old home in Burlington
Mr.. Reick was one of our office mates in
apprenticeship days, and we regret that
we failed to see our more fortunate
brother of the quill. He was recently
dined by the Scribbler's Club, of Newark,
N. j., who gave him a royal welcome
home.
All our advertisers are picked men. We
sought their advertisements because we
knew them to be thoroughly honest and
reliable. We believe our subscribers
fully appreciate this is a fact, for we have
never yet received complaint that our
advertisers have treated them in any
other than just and liberal manner
One of our best firms is that of Stoddard,
Duncan & Van Pelt, of New Brunswick,
and what we have said will apply to
them. Their advertisement of Spring
goods is in this issue and we commend it
to your attention.
On Sunday last as Mr.. J. L. HammeIl
was driving from Willow street into
Railroad ave., his wagon suddenly sink
ing in the big hole, where the gutter
ought to be, he was thrown violently to
the ground. The axle struck his knee
cutting deep cash, while the wheels
passed over his arms and body. The
horse was startled and ran some distance
up the road. but Druggist Jaques being
in the vehicle cleverly caught the reins
and soon mastered his steed. Mr.. H. was
not seriously hurt though he has since
been very lame and sore: The next mis-
hap at the place named may cost more
and we would advise the commissioners
to have it promptly put in order.
Fun is one thing, but horse-p play is an
other, as little Tommy Whalen finds to
his cost. He is now suffering from what
appears to be conclusion of the brain, the
result of fall. On Wednesday evening
Elwood Vader caught Tommy up from
the ground and endeavored to hold him
at arms length. He failed sadly, and
Tommy fell to the ground, his head
striking brick. Since then he has been
in sort of stupor and fears are entertain
ed for bis ultimate safety or recovery. 1t
will take week to fully determine the
extent of his injuries and until then Ell
wood may have some bitter reflections
upon the probable issue of his foolish
play.
Our readers will certainly be attracted
by very striking advertisement on the
4th page of our paperof a work called
g Heads and Faces" written by Prof.
Nelson Sizer, chronological Examiner at
the office of Fowler & Wells Co., us
Broadway, New York, and DIR. II. 5.
Drayton, editor of the chronological
Journal. This is remarkable work,
first, in that it contains nearly 25O por-
traits and other engravings, illustrating
every possible type of character, with 200
large octave pages and is sold at the low
price of 40 cents. Certainly no intelli-
gent person can fail to be profited and in-
terested by it. The publishers offer to
send it by mail on receipt of price and II
not satisfactory the money will be refund
ed, which is certainly a fair offer.
The new mac hine works or foundry OF
Lare & Griggs at upper Jamesburg is ap-
preaching completion. The building was
finished two or three weeks ago but the
work of erecting forges and the various
machines is only just about completed.
Already they have on hand orders for
several steam power plants in the neigh
borhood, and there is every probability
of their making quite an industry in our
town. They furnish and erect new ma
chimes of any and every kind, put in
powers, repair machinery and make any
kind of casting. Let our people give
them helping hand and throw in their
way all the work they need in such lines
as we have indicated. The firm are al
