The tickets nominated by the Repub-
licaus of the different wards Of this city,
for the charter election next Monday, are
excellent ones and should receive the sup
port of every member of the party. 1t
is especially important for the welfare of
the city that the council should remain in
the hands OF the Republicans, and it is
therefore important that cold vote be
given 10 its candidates.

The big stone bridge crossing the
Musconetcong about three quarters OF a
mile above the Penwell mill, caved in on
Monday morning, Immediately after a
team had crossed. All three arches fell
and the structure is complete wreck.
The piers were doubtless undermined
during the two heavy freshets the past
Winter.
The washington Starr says that this
bridge was built in 1860 and was sup
posed to be as good as any along the
creek. 1t was about 100 feet long and
was pointed at as model. The cost of
building one to take it's place will fall
equally on Warren and Hunterdon coun-
ties. Travel is greatly impeded, as this
bridge is located on the turnpike road.

MIR. Will. Schenck, of this city,
showed us recently a programme OF
Ford's Theatre, Washington, for Friday
evening, April IA, 1866, (the evening Of
President LiDcoln's ASSASSINATION the
play being "Our American Cousin" This
programme is evidently valuable SOU
venir, as by written statement attached
to it, it appears that 1t was found in the
private box OF President Lincoln by the
sergeant of the guard on duty al Ford's
theatre the morning after the assassina-
ton OF the President, and was therefore
used by the President or one of his parry.
The programme was presented to the late
Amos Moore, (Mr. Schenck's father.in-
law by II. J. Raynor. Mr.. Schenck
found the programme recently among
some books that had belonged to Mr..
Moore.

Spring Time

Is when nearly everyone feels the need OF
some blood purifying, strength invigorat-
ing and health producing medicine. The
real merit OF Hoods Sarsaparilla is the
reason of its widespread popularity. Its
unequalled success is its best recommen-
dation. The whole system is susceptible
to the most good from a medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparila taken at this time,
and we would lay special stress upon the
time and remedy, for history has 1t re-
corded that delays are dangerous. The
remarkable success achieved by Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the many words Of praise
1t has received, make 1t worthy Of your
confidence. We ask you to give this
medicine fair trial.

Stephen b. Smith, one of our oldest
citizens, died at his home on Bridge
street, on Monday night, aged 81 years.
He was the son of Jacob Il. Smith, q
prominent man In the village OF Lambert
vile years ago, and was brother of ex-
city auditor Amos Smith, of this city.
For many years he carried on the tinware
and stove business at the corner OF Bridge
street and Gordon's Alley, and more re-
Gently repair shop on Ferry street.
Mr.. Smith was man of much infor-
nation on many lines, and was mechanic
of excellent ability. He could do almost
anything he undertook. He constructed
an astronomical telescope of considerable
power, two or three clocks, with his own
improvements) that were first-class time
keepers, a gyrascope, and several scien.
tific instruments of various kinds. He
had good knowledge of the principles
of music and could arrange music for
various instruments; was well-read in
| astronomy, mathematics, mechanics, etc.
He was the oldest fireman in this city,
and was an active member of the Union
Steam Engine Company at the time OF his
death.
He was very popular with young men
and boys, and for many years his shop
was the headquarters for many OF them,
where they would spend their evenings in
talking about music, mechanics, astrono-
my and other things Of an instructive
character. The young men and boys Of
that day had not learned to waste their
time in club rooms. Many of them who
have grown to middle life will long re.
member the hours spent in "Uncle
Stephe's" shop, and will remember with
pleasure those "days OF yore."

"A complimentary dinner was rendered
the newspaper men of Hunterdon County
by proprietor w. Howard Lake, of the
Hotel Pennington, last Friday afternoon
and those of the fraternity who responded
in person to the kind invitation had no
cause to regret it. The dinner was
served in the large and exceedingly neat
aud cheerful new DINING room of the
well-appointed aud admirably conducted
hotel, and it was one of pleasing fitness.
The menu embraced all that reasonable
beings-such as compose the newspaper
printers of Hunterdon-could wish, and
all was prepared so elegantly and served
so neatly and quietly that those at the
inviting table could but regret that their
capacities were not greater. Added to
the fine spread was the good cheer and
rare hospitality Of Mr.. and Mrs. Lake,
and we do not know when we have spent
an hour or so more agreeably. Mr..
Lake certainly has a hotel that takes
high rank in the State for It's home-like
and comfortable equipments, and GER
tainly no Femingtonian would be 10th
to recommend a travelling friend or iu-
quirer to its doors. Moreover, Mr.. and
Mrs. Lake possess in large degree that
faculty for pleasing their guests and
making them feel easy and at home,
which is so much appreciated by the
travelling public. Hmaterolon Democrat.
