"A Frenchtown correspondent to the
H,mterdon Republican says: "One Of
the most disgraceful things that has c.
CURED in Frenchtown for years, took
place recently. The late trains brought
persons from the neighboring towns, and
what was their business at such late
hour no one seemed to know, bet it was
learned the next morning that acock-hght
had been Witnessed by large number Of
persons, including a member OF the Com
mon Council, School Trustee, Constable
and other local officers. 1t is stated that
the Mayor and Marshal were absent, not
being among the invited guests. 1t is
also said that the matter will be investl-
gated by the next Grand jury
1t is becoming more and more APP
parent every day, that day policeman
would be advantageous. The number OF
scraps lately that have occurred during
the day, is proof sufficient that those who
engage In them know full well they are in
no danger of arrest, as the officers do not
go on duty until aftersupper time. There
are very few disturbances after that time
and this speaks well for the three officers
who are on duty. 10 all other cities Of
the size OF ours, there Is at least one po-
liceman. For the sake OF good order, II
would be well IL one OF the officers could
be taken off Of tie night force and put on
in ths day time. 1t would cost, perhaps,
a little more money, but the result in good
order would warrant the outlay.
Having changed my mind, ! viii not
move to Trenton, as formerly announced,
and strict attention will be given to all
who need my service as an auctionssr.
