THE GRAND DEPOT,
LAMBERTvILLE, N. j.

1t has always been our aim to publish
interesting store-news information that
would be universally read. Truthful
statements-fre items have won and
held a reading constituency over twenty
one years with remarkable sue cess.
There is an abundance of inaccurate
advertising going on. (Which seems to
boom business for time) but which les
sens the value, yes, greatly discounts the
efforts of all sincere advertisers.
Our welfare demands unceasing war :
fare against all such receptions.
We find it impossible to fight even with
the aid of printers ink, all the details of
these receptions; but we rest on the fixed
principles that founded our store in '6s,
aud landed US safe and prosperous into
the ninetes. This has been the bulwark,
aud we ask your continued confidence on
this line. We trust we've made our plans
plain, and feel grateful that we are here
to-day to execute them.

enth Regiment, N. G. N. j., by Colonel
d. B. Murphy, has been above the aver
age. Companies A, and D, of Trenton;

all wool Cashmeres but we don't sell
Cashmeres by calling them Henriettas, as
the latter should have silk warp and the
Cashmere has either cotton or wool
warp. We have at present the greatest
stock of these goods ever carried at the

The buyers of nuts cannot have failed
to observe the unusual prices they are
asked to pay. Shelbarks of good quality
are selling at So per bushel, while wal
nuts, which in ordinary years are to be
had for the gathering, bring 50. 80 and So
per bushel The same may be said of
chestnuts. The ordinary kinds have been
selling as high as % cents per quart, while
the improved variety now so largely
grown in the counties commands % cents
and over per quart, and what is more,
they are worth it. A practical hint to
farmers is this: The cultivation of nut
bearing trees is something that deserves
far more attention than they have ever
given it. 1t is true returns from some
kinds do not come in Immediately, but
sooner or later they will. The improved
chestnut always bears the second year
from the graft, and bears very largely,
too. If but dozen of these trees were
set out on farm, they would in few
years increase the farmers income very
materially.

Business in horses has been fairly
said that one of our livery men who ap-
ponds to his name V. s., made a trade
with Pennington dealer, by which he
received two for one. Two visits of the
dead wagon from Doylestown during the
past few days has carried all that was
mortal of the two horses into Bucks coun-
ty, to be converted into glue, fertilizers,
sc. 1t is rumored also that the Fleming
ton man was compelled to call into re-
QUESTION a sharp-shooter to rid him of the
bad results of his trade. There are still
some horses in this community that could
be traded off on the same terms.

Two gentlemen of the Second Ward

Two gentlemen of the Second Ward
started out early on Tuesday morning, in
the snow, to track and shoot rabbits
They lsbored earnestly ali the morning
and at noon were seen at the vegetable
market on Main street, purchasing the
only rabbit that could be found. With
this solitary hare they returned home and
gladdened the h arts of the waiting fami-
ly. We do not mean to say that the fami-
ly were really hankering for rabbits but
that they were anxious to see the father
and son-iu-law come back safe and sound,
without even SO much as finger or hand
shot off.

Thursday night, about II o'clock, a few
of our residents were aroused by the
alarm going off at the bank. Thomas

The Thanksgiving service in the M.
E. Church, in this city, last Thursday
morning, was well attended, although
many more could have been accommoda.
ted, and should have been present. The
sermon by Rev. VIM. Swan, of the Pres
byterian Church, was well worth listening
to. The ''good old times" which are con-
sidered by many so much better than
ours, were compared with the present and,
although full justice was done to the
many noble traits of our ancestors, it was
conclusively demonstrated by the speaker
that in intelligence, morals and religion,
as well as in creature comforts, we had
made considerable advances. The SER
mon was peculiarly fitting to the day, and
was carefully thought out and scholarly
production. The Rev. Mr.. Gray, Of the
New Hope M E. Church, the Rev. w.
W. Bullock, of the Baptist Church, and
the Rev. w. s. Barnart, Of the M. E.
Church, participated in the exercises. At
the close, collection for the poor was
taken up.

"A ''kicker'' in community is always
looked upon as a bad one. If the term
"kickern is applied to horse, it knocks off
very much of its value. There are times,
however, when a person is inclined to
kick and to certain extent is justifiable in
so doing. A case of this nature occurred
last week, when certain dealer in tobac
co and segars on Bridge street, retired to
rest and had dream. He had been
working hard on new additions to his
residence, and stirred natures sweet re-
storer, balmy sleep" did not do justice to
him. He tossed and tumbled and when
at last he dropped of, it was only to be
disturbed by unpleasant dreams. This is
