For THE RECORD.
A PLEASANT PARTY.


On Tuesday evening, the 10Th ult., a
small assembly of young ladies gathered
at friends house on Swan street to pass
a few hours in social way, and to say
they succeeded would only be making
light Of the affair. First, there was the
usual amount of gossip; then few
funny stories were told, after which they
drifted into something more interesting,
such as piano solos, operatic singing and
little innocent dancing. After Miss
Mamie had cleared her voice, she charm
ingly sang an operate selection. AS near
as we could tell, the selection was that
beautiful composition, "After the Ball, u
with variations. Miss Mamie has a very
charming voice, but it really needs little
cultivation, as when she reaches for high
G she is a semitone flat but little daily
practice will, in our judgment, perfect
her for the stage. After this selection
the ladies sang in chorus, "The Fatal
Wedding" To properly appreciate this
song you must hear 1t sung in chorus.
At first we thought the Marine Band had
visited our street, but Hannah's merry
laugh soon convinced US of our mistake.
In this beautiful selection Mamie sang
soprano; Hannah, alto; Nelly, tenor !;
Katie, baritone, while Lizzie and Mamie
No. Q manipulated the piano. To US the
most interesting part of the evenings en-
tertainment was reached when Nelly
danced the Scotch reel, and Mamie, who
was determined not to be left, quickly
followed with one of those good old-time
Irish jigs. Altogether 1t was grand af-
fair and one to be long remembered by
all those who participated in the festivi-
tics. UNo.

A Slick Rascal.

A slick rascal has been roaming this
part of the country for the past week,
imposing upon business men by making
purchases aud then offering forged checks
in excess of the same. He would pocket
the balance and move on to another I'M
suspecting victim.
He arrived In town on Tuesday after
noon and at once commenced operations.
The rascal first went to Casterln's harness
store, picked out set of harness and a
few other articles, the lot amounting to
$2s. In payment he offered check,
purporting TO bear the signature of Will
liam Taylor, the liveryman, for $50. Cas-
terlin refused to accept the paper, where
upon the man, giving the name OF John
III. Blake, said he would take it TO the
bank, get ii cashed and that when few
alterations had been made In the harness
Mr.. Casterlin could leave the articles at
Taylor's, where the cash would be await
ing him. Mr.. Casterlin did as requested,
but found that the stranger bad hood
winked him. and he dropped the matter
then and there.
The next scene of the rascal's opera
lions was at G. E. Dunham's hardware
store. Blake purchased $28 stove and
ordered it delivered to parties at Finderne
The same check for $50 was offered in
payment and Mr.. Durham gave him the
change The stranger then mounted a
high-bred horse, which carries him from
place to place, and struck out for Somer-
Vile, where he endeavored to work the
same game, only securing 81 of E. Ste
vens. All he got out of Bound Brook
business men was the 50 from Mr.. Dun
ham, but that individual is thankful he
still has the stove.
Previous to coming to Bound Brook
Blake played the same racket on mer-
chants in Elizabeth and Railway. Yes
terday he swindied business men in Lam
bertville. BIO uad Brook Chronicle, FEB

A SwfndIer.

The harnessmaker swindler struck this
city last Wednesday morning and duped
Joseph II. Titus, harness dealer on
Union street, near Bridge, out OF money
by means of worthless check. The
man called at Mr.. Titus establishment
and informed him tina! Joshua Tomlinson,
proprietor OF the Delaware House, 10 New
Hope, sent him 10 buy set OF harness.
Mr.. Titus showed him through his stock
and he decided on SET for $18, and re.
quested him to lay 1t aside until he could
see Mr.. Tomlinson and get the money.
The swindler returned in about an hour
and presented check for $40 supporting
to be signed by Tomlinson. Mr. Titus
gave him the 50 difference and the swim
dler desired him to retain the harness for
few minutes and be would call for it.
As soon as he had gone Mr.. Titus investi
gated and soon found the check had been
forged.
