Catarrh starts 10 the nasal passages, af-
feeling eyes, ears and throat, and is in
fact, the great enemy of the mucous mem
brane. Neglected colds in the head al
most invariably precede caiarrh, causing
an excessive flow of mucous, and IL the
mucous discharge becomes interrupted
the disagreeable results of catarrh will
follow, such as bad breath, severe pain
across forehead and about the eyes. a
roaring and buzzing sound in the ears and
oftentimes very offensive discharge.
Ely's Cream Balm Is the acknowledged
cure for these troubles.

"A well known block hauler said few
days ago that DUNCAN, The Doylestown
horse undertaken, had during the last two
weeks removed sixteen dead horses from
this city. The mortality among horses
needs looking into by the State Board of
Veterinary Surgeons. It might be said by
way of explanation that death in nearly
every case came from some natural cause
and pure weakness, superinduced by hard
work and old age, and not from some con-
tagious disease.

creased facilities for doing all kinds OF
work in their line. A new twenty five

cient. This foundry has earned high

Lent Lenape.

One of the oldest secret organizations
in our city celebrated The installation OF
officers on Tuesday evening of this week
with great deal of interest, and altogether
there was a joyous and happy time. We
refer to Leni Lenape Lodge, No. 10, l. O.
o. F., society of men for fraternal pur-
poses, an association of individuals of va
rious creeds and ideas, whose business il
is not only to alleviate each others trou-
bles in cases of necessity, but to cement
themselves in the unity Of Friendship,
Love and Truth" 1t is believed that, as
the largest secret association OF the age,
it has accomplished more good and dis
pensed more real blessings among men
than any other similar society. Odd Eel
lowship goes back in America to 1906,
speare House, or tavern, on Fair street,
now Fulton, between Nassau and Broad
way, New York. The Order, however,
seems to date from the first lodge at Bal
timore in 1919, from which date the Order
may be said 10 have been fairly and sue
cess fully commenced in this country.
Leni Lenape Lodge has been great
benefit TO this community in all these
years since its organization in 1843. II
has taken care of the sick, buried the dead,
educated the orphan and cared for the
widow in q manner that has hardly been
noticeable on the surface, yet those who
have been blessed by its usefulness never
tire in sounding its praise. 1t was proper
and right then that the following officers
should receive that degree of attention
which inducts them into the offices of
trust which all hope may be filled with
honor to themselves and credit to the
Order:
Past Grand-Alonzo w. Green.

Treasurer-Jacob B. Kline.

II. s. S.-John T. Everett.
L. s. S.-William Pratt.
l. William Hunt.
o. G. Andrew j. Lanning.
After the ceremony OF installation de-
lightful program of vocal and instru-
mental music, interspersed with speak
ing, was gone through with, and then
came the refreshments, which were dis
tributed with liberal hand by the COM
mittee in charge. ID. d. q. o., Brother
G. B. Housed, Of Perseverance Lodge, OF
Milford, performed the installation cere-
mony and also made an appropriate adj
dress.
tn not often that No. 10 makes an ef-
fort to "cut a dash," but when it does
there is no failure. 1t was pleasant ev-
ening and one long to be remembered in
the minds of the brethren. Visiting
brethren were present from Milford,
Frenchtown, Ringoes and New Hope.
A. G. Barber, the oldest member Of No.
10, was present and gave an interesting
address.

The Presbyterian Sunday School OF
this city held its anniversary on last Sum

the superintendency of Warren A. Greene,
ESQ the school has reached the highest
efficiency and attendance in its history.
His annual report showed that there were
on the roll 392 scholars, with an average
attendance during the past year of 24l.
During the year sixteen members of the
school were added TO the church. An
excellent address was made by Rev. Mr..
Ferguson, State Secretary of the State
Sunday School Association, and the choir
and school sang nicely some good music.
A souvenir Missionary Exercise and
Album was distributed to the school
and congregation, and some of the music
10 it was used on this occasion.

While so many of US have been en-
joying the good cheer of the past holiday
season and toasting our shins and crack
ing jokes in our we'll heated and lighted
homes, poor Eugish emigrant, who
landed at Philadelphia about month ago,
has been living in hole dug 10 the bank
above the Alexsauken bridge, near this
city. While this kind of a lodging place
might do very well for warm weather, it
must have been very uncomfortable dur
ing the storms and biting winds of the
past two weeks. This stranger, George
Bowden by name, says that when he land
ed he paid two dollars to a labor bureau
to get him a situation, and waited as long
as he could for a job and then struck out
for himself. He arrived at Lambertville
just in time 10 find the quarries shut down,
and not being able 10 obtain work, and
dislking TO tramp or beg, he rugged up
the cave referred TO above, where he has
lived for over two weeks. He speaks
very highly of the kindness of the boys
and girls who have been enjoying the
skating above the bridge, as they have
given him food and have brought him
some pieces of carpet, &C., to help keep
him warm. His situation becoming known
to the owner of the "tramp lodging house"
above town, he was invited to lodge in the
track, which he says is much warmer
than the cave. He had at least two square
meals on Saturday, and il is hoped that
the poor fellow will be remembered by
those who have plenty and to spare.
