Reading honestly and constantly repre-
scented the wishes of the voters of Hun
terdon, Democrats as well as Republicans,

Cornish, candidate for Congress, WIS.,
tied this city on Monday afternoon and
held seance at Williamson's hotel
A number of the men who handled his
8" five dollars vote fund two years ago
called on him, but whether they got any
money or not we are unable to say. His
visit to this city has rather injured than
helped him.
The case of the City of Lambertville
against George W. Williamson, for illegal
sale of liquor, was tried before Justice
Lyman, on Monday, and resulted in a
failure of the jury to agree. Hayhurst
for prosecution and Skillman and Trim
mer for defence. A re-hearing of the
case was set down for to-day but it has
been postponed until Friday morning, as
were also four other cases.
When Capt. Shields stood as target
for rebel bullets at Gettysburg, and fell
desperately wounded, he gave the highest
evidence of his loyalty to American insti-
tutions. The man who forgets these SER
vices and refuses TO vote for him for mar
row and bigoted reasons, shows that he
is lacking in the broadness of spirit that
should characterize a true American.
The Office of Surrogate is really not
political one, and some reference should
be had to the fitness of things. 1t does
not seem to be the proper thing that men
already wealthy should be given Offices of
emolument that would be benefit to men
less substantially situated. Therefore,
vote for DR.. Spronl, who is man of
moderate means, and let Mr.. Queen enjoy
his competency without the trouble of
official cares.

james Cleary, aged about % years,
son of ex-Policeman Michael Cleary, met
with terrible accident at the VIM. Mann
paper mill, in this city, about 2 o'clock
last Friday morning. While working
about the machinery his hand was caught
in belt and his body was thrown against
one of the calenders and his left foot
caught in the cogs. His foot was ground
to atoms and his leg crushed half way up
to the knee. Other employees of the mill
came to his assistance and medical aid
was hastily summoned. Drs. Clossop,
Romine and McGill amputated the leg,
and Cleary is doing well. 1t will be re-
membered that his father had a leg &C.
verely injured in shanley's quarries three
or four years ago and he was laid up for
many months.
-Messrs. Harrison Carver and Griffith
Williams, who for so many years have
carried on business on Bridge street, in
this city, under the firm-name OF Carver
& Williams, have just closed somewhat
remarkable business career. They began
business in April, 1850, at the stand
where they have carried it on continu-
ously ever since, with the exception of a
few months when the building was being
rebuilt. Mr.. Carver came from Pineville,
Pa, and Mr.. Williams, from Newtown,
Pa. They have worked tremendously
together all these years, and have had an
unusually prosperous business career. No
firm in this city ever had more solid
commercial standing, or was more accom-
modating to its patrons. Carver 81 Will
liams were known far and wide for bust
ness standing and business worth. They
close business life of nearly forty-6ve
years with the respect and esteem of
very wide circle of friends.

was a beautiful display OF chrysanthe-
NUNS 10 all their varied shapes and tints
and hues. Some of the groups, whether
Intentionally or not, were so arranged as
to display the rich and varied colors OF
the ripening forest leaves. Streaks OF
bright sunshine streamed through the lat
tice, Illuminating the forest of flowers and
making a veritable October scene, pleas
ing beyond description. There was plenty
