AT the fire last Friday evening John
Agnew and Frank Consodine, two of the
employees at the Lambertville House, rem
dered valuable help to the firemen who
were in the burning building. They know
how to work without making any extra
noise or being in the way. 1t is said that
the ladies of the house alec formed a
bucket brigade and did heroic work. 1t
is fact, however, that there was hardly
enough fire to go around for the great
crowd of people who were eager to see
and be seen and would not get out of the
way. The old plan of making mistake
with the branch pipe often clears a crowd
quicker than any other way. The Chief
would do we'll to establish fire-line with
ropes and then the fremen could have
some little chance.

School Entertainment.

The entertainment by the scholars OF
the Hill Public School on Thursday after
noon last was very interesting and fully
repaid those persons who climbed the
stairs to listen to the music and recita-
lions. The room had been tastefully
decorated with bunting and the National
colors. A large picture Of the "Father
of Our Country occupied a conspicuous
place on the platform, and on the back
wall were suspended pictures of President
Cleveland and Governor Werts. The
children were decorated more or less with
red, white and blue, and presented very
pleasing picture. The program was made
up of short sketches of Washington and
history treating on the eventful day.
There were some recitations which really
deserved more than passing notice. but
there were so many children interested 1t
would be unfair to particularize. There
were about seventy-five persons present,
most of them being ladies. None OF the
trustees were present to give encourage
ment to the Principal and his corps OF
teachers and the happy children. 1t is
true that it requires quite an effort to
reach the summit where the building
stands, and that fact may have prevented
many people from attending. Among
those present we noticed Messrs. Warren
A. Greene, F.. f. Lear, q. Ii. W. Van
Solver. George w. Udy, Edward Bright,
John Wilson and George Sproat, DIR. P.
McGll, the Percy brothers and the repre-
sentative of The Beacon. Frank A. Hazen.
Adjoining the walls in various parts Of
the room were some elegant specimens of
map-drawing done by the scholars. Pic
lures, specimens of botany, mineralogy,
&C., can be found at almost every turn.
Schools as general thing do not seem to
have much attraction for the average
parent or citizen, but there is much in the
Hill School rooms to interest and entertain.
1t Is burning shame that our children
are compelled to climb, day after day,
such dizzy heights in search Of knowledge.
There ought 10 be and will be, we believe,
In the near future, movement towards
the erection of new, neat, substantial
structure down in the city proper, where
there will be ampler room for all work
and where the necessary comforts Of good,
pure water and plenty of heat can always
be depended upon. II everybody was
compelled to visit the school, as 1t now
stands, several times year, there would
soon be new school house.
The teachers are deserving Of credit for
the manner In which the children acquit-
ted themselves on the afternoon Of the
2lst, and the children should make the
better citizens and have firmer love for
country on account Of the patriotic LESSONS
learned.
The program was published last week.

Best Ever Seen Here.

The q. W. Vreeland Minstrels, which
held the boards at the Opera House last
night, was the best ever seen in this city.
Hank Goodman is great, and George Has
sell is marvel. 10 fact, the company is
composed of first class artists, and their
jokes are all fresh and good. The Red
Dragon march was simply immense. II
the company ever comes back to Phillips
burg we would advise the owner of the
Opera House to have some extra seats
placed therein. The house was crowded
and everybody was feeling good from the
beginning to the end. They are perfect
gentlemen as we'll as first-class actors. -

Emanuel Clayton, colored, of this
city, aged about 20 years, became violent
ly insane last Thursday evening, at his
boarding house in "Larison's Row." on
York street. After entering several houses
and smashing the furniture, he started
down town, barefooted and bareheaded,
causing great excitement among men,
women and children who happened to be
on the streets. At last he went into
Cochran's drug store, where he was over.
powered and locked up in the city Jail.
1t was with great difficulty that he could
be fed or handled while in the cell, and
on Saturday, handcuffed and strapped,
Officers Morse and Cummings took him to
the Morris Plains Asylum. He is a
powerfully built man, weighing 232
pounds.

The flag which floats over the Fleet
Wing Hook and Ladder Company's house,
in this city, was first thrown to the breeze
on the morning of July 4th, 1876, nine
teen years ago. Joseph Sproat, who at
that time was in the habit of going to
New York once or twice week, made
the purchase, and flags were scarce at that
time. He was assured by the firm of
whom he made the purchase that 1t would
be here on or by the day it was TO be
used, and just as everybody was prepar-
ing to do some bard talking on the Ma
tional holiday it came by express and was
run up to the staff head amid great re-
joicing aud with acclamations. 1t has
withstood the ravages of time wonderfully
and is still 10 good state of preservation.

BY the upsetting of lamp in the cell
lar of the boot and shoe store of George
w. Hunt, on Union street, above Bridge,
in this city, about 8 O'Clock last Friday
night, the steps and floor were set on FIRE
and for time it seemed that the entire
row OF five business houses would be de-
stroyed, as we'll as the several buildings
adjoining. The flremen were on hand
promptly, but were compelled to work at
disadvantage, some of the fire-plugs be
ing frozen up, and the crowd Of men,
women and children in the street made it
almost impossible to lay line of hose.
About 9 o'clock, however, the fire was
gotten under control, but smoke continued
to issue from the building until the next.
morning. Mr.. Hunts damage amounts
to $500.

The very excellent and choice stock
of Mr.. Morris May, the well known Tren-
ton jeweler, corner of State and Broad
streets, is being sold by public auction
every day until the whole is disposed Of.
Watches, clecks, diamonds, jewelry, silver
ware, &C., are being sold for what people
offer for them, and, as might be expected,
some very great bargains have been
obtained. No goods have been specially
introduced for the sale-they are all the
regular first-class stock kept by Mr.. May,
whose twenty years reputation and ex-
perence guarantees the good faith OF the
sale, and warrants every article sold as
represented. The sale will continue every
morning, afternoon and evening, for prob
ably two weeks, but an early visit is, OF
course, desirable.

Asa Prall Hoagland, native of Hun
terdon county and formerly engaged in
the butchering business in Pennington,
was found dead in the bath-tub at his
residence in Somerville last Thursday af-
ternoon. The County Physician Of Som
erset was called and he gave it as his
opinion that death had resulted from apo
plexy. He had been subject to dizzy
spells for some time. He had removed
from South Somerville to Someryille about
month ago. His age was about 60
years. He was son of the late Isaachar
Hoagland, of the Mount Airy section.
After giving up the butchering business
10 Pennington he was for time engaged
in the saloon trade at Newark. -H,t,ater-

which will be utilized here, this pheno-
mena comes into play. The Incandescent
light current passes through a converter,
small affair, placed near the incandes-
cent light. This apparatus consists of a
coil of wire somewhat smaller than the
main wire, which is perfectly insulated.
Within the converter there lie a second
coil of heavy wire, perfectly insulated,
the ends of this wire running to the lamp.
To increase the efficiency Of the apparatus
the coils are surrounded by mass of iron
wire. A current of 1000 volts or more
passing through the coil of fine wire in
duces in the coil of heavy wire current
of few volts and many amperes, just the
kind for an incandescent lamp.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-12-25

An insurance agent who has recently
been on a trip through the southern
part of the State reports that the farm
ers and orange growers are better off
than ever before. The reason for this
is that while the freeze of last winter
destroyed the oranges in the northern
and central portions of the State, no
damage was done in the southern part,
and the growers there are now reaping
the benefit of greatly increased prices
for their oranges. Whereas for several
years past they have only received from
so cents to 81 per box for their oranges,
this year they are getting from So to 81.
The increased price has given the grow
ers plenty of money, and they are able
to buy many luxuries and make many
improvements that heretofore has been
imposs ible.-Citizen.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-12-25

to cultivate them. Upon these lands
colonies could be readily established,
and in few years what is now a wilder
ness would become blossoming garden.
There is large agricultural popula.
tion in the north and west which has
become weary and disheartened by the
rigorous climatic conditions that made
the safe harvesting of crops the excep.
tion rather than the rule. The eyes of
these people are turned southwark, and
nothing is more natural than that they
should 60 to. those sections which take
the trouble to tell the world the advan-
tages they offer to settlers and home
seekers. Every county in Florida
should adopt some method of making
known it's resources and inducements to
i'm migration, and if it were judiciously
and intelligently done the population
and wealth of this state would be many
times multiplied in few years.-Times
Union.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-12-25
immigration.

Instead Of crying calamity and hard
times in the State, the people of Florida
should emulate the example of Clay,
Marion and one or two other counties,
and advertise to the world the manifold
advantages Offered to settlers through
the wonderful fertility Of soil and equa-
bility of climate.
Through energy and intelligent eff
fort much of the valuable land of the
Clay county has been disposed Of to
thrifty farmers Of the northwest, and
early in the coming year these people
will leave their present place of resi-
dence and rear their household affairs
within the borders of the penlnsuiar
state. They are class of people who
make good citizens, and any commun
ity of which they become a part is ben
Gifted by their coming.
These people will soon find that the
productive powers of Florida soil are
continuous, and that diversity of crops
can be raised whose rapidly maturing
qualities have hitherto been undreamed
of in their farming experience in the
sluggish northern DISTRICTS They will
find also that more returns can be Sc
cured from days labor, and more days
of labor can be done IN a year, Than in
any section of the United States.
There are in the state of Florida va
cant and unreclaimed lands with a pro-
ductive power sufficient to support a
population of millions, and there are few
counties wherein large tracts of these
lands do not exist, lying idle and unre'
munerative simply for the wantof people
