The Lambertvile post office is like the
pool at Bethesda that We read of 10
the Bible-when the aged and inflrm are
waiting for their mail matter the young
men and young women step in before
them.
II a man should live as long as Methu-
selah he would not be so old as not to
know when young people are respectful
and well-behaved
II we wish to describe the extreme pow
erty of family we need but simply say
they are too poor TO own an organ or a
bicycle.
Was it ever known of men at work for
the Freeholders at bridge work to be
overcome by the heat or sunstruck
1t is expected of men in public office to
steal, but they must be learned to do it
ir moderation.
The better part of the people OF our
country are anxiously looking to Congress
for an expression of their displeasure and
abhoIr nee of the shameful conduct OF one
of their number-General Breckenridge.
There seems to be a hestancy on the part
of Congressman as to who will cast the
first stone.
1t is often remarked at the wonderful
knowledge and sagacity of the horse and
its aptness to learn. Take the most
spirited and unmauageable ore, that can
hardly be held in with bit and bride, put
him 10 a cart al work on the streets, and
he soon becomes as docile and tractable
as a COW and readily learns the corpora.

Against Mr.. Cornish.

A dispatch from Belvidere to Phila-
delpbia paper last Saturday says; Con-
gresham Cornish is not going to receive
denomination or re election in this Demo-
cratic district II certain Democrats can
preventit. William O'Neil, who has been
Surrogate forten years, has received many
letters from prominent Democrats, asking
him TO be a candidate against Cornish for
nomination, or an independent candidate
after the nomination. They declare they
are tired OF Cornish.
Mr.. O'Neil has not given his friends
much encouragement. He says be has
been Surrogate so long be thinks people
might believe be has had enough.

II speaks well for the native New Jer-
sey population that out Of 968 convicts 10
the State Prison but 1853 are Jerseymen.
OF the convicts, 6l6 are either natives Of
other States or else Of foreign birth, which
goes TO show that two.lhirds OF our crimi-
mails are of the imported variety. Hud-
son county, the most populous OF the
State, furnishes one fifth of the convicts.

-Amwell National Bank, of this city,
has declared dividend of one-and.a half
per cent. fer the past six months. This
dividend does not represent the actual
earnings for that time, as the directors
consider it for the best interests of all
that large surplus be accumulated be-
fore any dividend of consequence be de-
clared. The recent dividend was fixed
only with view TO about meet the taxes
on stock. The bank now has surplus
of over seventeen thousand dollars, and
the stock is really worth about fifteen
dollars above par.

Trenton State Gdyeiis.

Trenton State Gazette.
There is a general suspicion that the
body OF the man found at Woodfern, near
Pennington, is the missing Adolph Kline.
OF this city. II is also thought that the
man had been 10 hiding at that place and
had been murdered by some rowdies who
attended pic mic.
The body when found was in about six
inches of water--an eddy where the water
seldom gets higher the pond is sur
rounded by grass at least four feet high.
The place is not resoited to by fishermen,
because one must go through the tall
grass, swamp and mud to reach II. This
probably accounts for the body lying so
long unseen.
When the body was found there were
several men in the ncighborhood who
knew it was Kline's, having seen him at
the pic mic. Since the theory OF murder
has been advanced they have become reti-
cent David Kline, a brother Of Adolpb,
is confident ii was that OF his brother.
The pic mic that. he attended is known
in the community as the /" Klnklux," and
gamblers from Easton, Lambertville, Flem-
ington and Trenton are always on hand.
Coroner Adair, of Somerset county, cx-
amined the body, but did not hold an in
quest, preferring to await the arrival of
the keeper OF Kline's boarding house.
The body, since 1t was found, has lain
upon The bank Of the river, day and night,
uDguarded. There is a general complaint
that the Somerset authorities are dilatory
10 trying to clear up the matter.

Found Drowned,

Ga Wednesday morning two boys fish
ing in the South Branch, near WoodfeIn,
were startled to find the body of man
floating in some two feet Of water near
the river bank. The boys at once raised
an alarm aud word was sent TO Coroner
Reed. of Somervile, who took charge Of
the body on Thursday aud as We go 10
press is prosecuting the inquest.
The identity Of the unfortunate remains
is a mystery at the time Of writing. Many
circumstances, however, point 10 the man
as being one Adolph Kline, dry goods
dealer of Trenton. A reward is posted
Of $50 for the finding OF MIR. Kline, dead
or alive, who, the bulletin says, disap-
peared from Trenton on June 2lst last.
The further description II Kline tallics
exactly with that OF the drowned man as
given by one who saw him, with the ex-
ception Of the gold ring on the third finger
of the right hand which the published
description says Kline wore, but which
was not found on the dead mans hand.
The mystery will no doubt be solved by

The report published in THE RECORD
two or three weeks ago respecting the
work done at the quarries in and near
this city has attracted considerable atten-
ton. But few people knew that the BUSH
ness was so extensive. A lady, in speak
ing of the article, remarked that it would
have been an interesting fact to have
stated that the first stone taken out OF
Goat Hill for building purposes was that
which now forms the sill of one of the
doors 10 the residence of John Lilly, Esq,
in this city. The stone had been secured
by the late Lewis S. Coryell, of New
Hope, and he had bad it cut. The wife
of DIR. Samuel Lilly (Mr. Coryell's daugh
teri secured the stone and had ii placed
in the house of Or. Lilly, which WAS
being remodeled. This stone was dress
ed at time when 1t was generally sup
posed that the Goat Hill stone was too
hard TO split or work for any purpose.
Mr.. Coryell, who was a far seeing man,
thought differently, and had the stone cat
to prove the incorrectness OF the notion
that it was too hard for practical use.

-Stockton's ice cream saloon is the
most popular place in this city during the
present hot spell. The rooms are cool,
the garden attractive and the ice cream and
ices are of the best. The Stocktons are the
most enterprising dealers in this line our
city has ever had. They are. constantly
getting up new flavors in creams and ices.
aud those who tire of the stereotyped
fiavors-vauilla, lemon, chocolate, pine
apple aud strawberry-can always finG
some rare flavor in their stock. Among
their new fiAvors are pistaehio cream and
frozen apricot, cherry and currant ices.
Besides these there is usually in stock
supply of Delmonico, Neapolitan aud
other creams, etc. What ''Al and
" Johnny" Stockton don't know about
ice cream il is useless TO learn.
