FROM THE FIRST WARD.

At the Curb Stone Club" meeting.
the complicated political situation
comes IN for good share of criticism.
The middle of the road9 men hope
to see the Democratic party roinstated
IN Office again this fall, but the men of
better judgment who are keeping n
close watch, are little in doubt con
corning the outcome. There il no
doubt concerning liunterdon, and if
they can come down to Swans Creek
with the normal majority, the First
ward no doubt will keep up their end,
rs usual.
While out for Sunday afternoon =
walk and through curiosity, we paid n
visit to our boyhood' 3 hunting grounds
i out amongst the rocks aud eedars,
/ stopping at Jordan Mathews, farm, we
+ spent an ho1r in pleasant conversation
with Mr.. Mathews, his wife and moth
en-, talking over over old times and
"reminiscences The farm il beautifully
located upon the Old Brunswick pike.
two miles from our city. There is a
splendid view from this farm. The
river can be seen flowing through the
valley at Moore's Station and the cars
can be seen at the same place. This
farm adjoins the Mt Range School
house, where IN our younger days we
scraped up what is called n common
school education, as learning in those
days was limited to a certain extent
and one seldom ever reached the limit
Mr.. Matthews took special interest in
showing rs what was to be seen on
aud around the farm, as well as giving
na mn invitation To visit the old school
house. The school house il beautifully
located upon little rising ground, is
one-story building, fitted up in n
convenient manner for ord mary school
purposes, with desks of an npproyed
make. The room ia heated by II lnrge
stove, which sets in about the center
OF the room. There has been an ex-

we should Judge she is able and efficient
IN her duties Unfortunately, she was
not Mt her boarding house, being home
for days visit, and we had no chance
TO interview her mon the attendance
at the school and other things pretain-
ing thereto. Having n pressing in vita
ton to pay Mr. Mathews another visit
IN the near future, we hope also TO
call upon Miss Walton while the
school is in session and get II few
statistics. Taken all in all, our visit
to Mr., Mathews was very pleasant
! and agreeable one and one which will
bear repeating in the near future.
The boys are having quite Jolly
times now ehestnnting. The crop is
an extra large one this season aud the
boys seem to know the exact locality
where to find them, and they seldom
come home empty handed.
The rubber mill boys seem to be
having lively times now, while on their
vacation. We can see them standing
in little groups and all seem Jolly.
Of course, they are all anxious to get
to work again, as these men are not
IN the habit Of being idle and hardly
know how to content themselves while
away from their daily labor.
There has been great tearing out of
machinery at the Lambertville Rubber
Company's works during the past week
Or ten days, aud the other work is
progressing pretty rapidly There is
considerable yet TO do, as all the
machinery has to be replaced again,
and the process Of replacing will take
time and labor. No one can yet tell
Just how long this will take, but the
work will be pushed as rapidly ~ pos
sible, and no doubt the mill will be in
running order again by November LIST.
A considerable number Of our ward
ers attended the fair at Trenton, last
week, and reported it grand success.
