published last week, we're thoughtful and
scholarly, and the discussions upon them
entertaining aud instructive.
| The latest Information from the par
ties who were bitten by the supposed mad
dog in Pennington on the Sd inst, and
who are now being thoroughly treated in
New York by DR.. Gibier, is that they are
all doing right well, no unfavorable symp-
toms having developed in either case as
yet.
Mrs. Charity Ann Sergeant, widow Of
Gershom G. Sergeant, died at her resi-
dence just south of Pennington, Monday
night week, after an illness of several
weeks. She was kind-hearted, indus
trious woman, and will be much missed in
the neighborhood where most Of her long
life was passed. Mrs. Sergeant was the
emother of L. II. Sergeant, ESQ.,, of this
| city.
lis there not some way to prevent the
crowd of idlers, men and women, who
congregate at the depotY 1t is not credit
able to our city to have these people loaf
ing there every evening. Besides, they
are in the way of passengers. A year or
two ago special policeman was put on
and the evil was ahated for time.
Among the very best pianos manu-
featured in this country Is the Sohmer.
Possessing remarkable sweetness and pus-
ity Of tone, these pianos are classed by
professionals as being fully equal (and in
some respects SUPERIOR, to any made in
the world. They are so perfe,tly and
peculiarly constructed as to guarantee
their reliability In any climate.
The Rev. J. Freshman, pastor Of the
First Hebrew Christian Church, of New
York City, an eloquent and interesting
speaker, will give lecture on the "Man-
ners and Customs of the Jewish People"
10 the Presbyterian Church, Friday even
ing, April 18th. Admission free. There
will be a collection taken for Christian
work among the Jews. All are invited.
1t is expected that the general straw
berry crop of this section will be several
weeks earlier this year than last season
owing to the uniformly mild Winter which
has proven 10 be specially beneficialto the
plants. The season usually opens about
the beginning Of June, but this year II is
expected that homegrown strawberries
will be placed on the. market about the
middle OF May.
An exchange says: "There has been
a sudden and heavy rise 10 the price of
potatoes for seed. They now retail at
something over 81, aud are worth over
80 cents by the car load. Seed potatoes
and phosphates to manure them will be
heavy tax on our farmers. Then the
plaster, and the Paris green, and then
sprinkling, and the cultivation, and per-
baps not crop then The farmers ioi is
not happy one ~
AT the First Baptist Church, next
Sunday, Rev. w. W. Bullock, pastor,
will preach at 1890 A. NJ, on prayer
and Panoply," and in the evening, at
1880, will begin series of sermons on
"Growth Of Character. The evening
service viii be rendered unusually attrac-
tive by fine music. A young peoples SER
vice will be held at $50 P. NJ, on Sum
day, in the church paflor. A cordial in
vitation is extended to these services.
"A. H. THUS, for Wall Paper. If
-Ex-candidate for Constable Van Solver
thinks he has salt enough left to ''save'
him for at least year. Some of his pro-
fessed friends were so exceedingly anxi-
GUS that he should not get spoiled" by
being elected Constable, that they voted
against him. He appreciates their kind
ness very much. Such unselish interest
Is admirable. 1t will always ''save"
man-from getting an office. Van Solver
deserved the office and every Republican
should have stood by him. Instead of
this, many voted for the Independent
Democratic candidate.
The result OF the Trenton city election
on Monday is rather mixed, but the SUBJ
stantial fruits OF victory remain with the
Republicans. They elect their candidate
for Receiver Of Taxes, Mr.. Overton, but
lose their School Superintendent, Mr..
Towers. The Republicans elect four
members Of Common Council, and retain
control Of that body by 90 to 10. They
also retain control OF the Board Of Free
holders by one majority. The Democrats
secure control of the Board of School
Trustees. The vote was very light
throughout most of the city.
There are some would-be Democratic
politicians 10 this city who should go out
OF business at once. They don't know
enough to run donkey cart or even
travel In the shafts, let alone manipulating
the political machine. They gotup an in
dependent Democratic candidate to defeat
Geo. T. Srope, the regular nominee for
constable, and that was the thing that
pulled Mr.. Srope through. Almost any
one ought 10 have seen that. Mr.. s. ex-
presses bis thanks to these astute poll
ticians for their assistance.
New Firm.
Mr.. G. ]. Fisher has taken into partner
ship Mr.. John L. Wilson, of this city, and
the new firm began business last Monday,
