A Woman of Nerve,

Lambertville recently had visit
from woman book agent, and judg
ing from reports of her calls at various
residences, she must have had supreme
"nerve." If a door WAS opened by Il
servant, it was almost impossible to
prevent her from getting into the
house. She would at once step into
the hall and demand to see the lady of
the house, She generally managed to
learn the name of the occupant before
she called. IL book was not sub
scribed for, she became very insulting
in many cases. In one instance she
wanted to know if there were "any
cultured people in town-she had fail
cd to find any" In another instance
where there was refusal to subscribe,
she expressed surprise to the lady, Ia
woman of 55 or 90 years, that the fact
OF her having young men as boarders
did not create talk. In two or more
instances, articles were missed from
parlors subsequent to her calls. She
is now, no doubt, in search of "cultur-
ed people in other towns.

FROM THE FIRST WARD.

If some men had a way.to get things
honestly, they would never become
thieves, and some would never get
them honestly if they could find way
TO steal them. Some men go to Con-
gress to steal, while others so there to
take only such brides as are handed
to them.
The boys and girls are having pref
ty nice coasting on North Swan street,
down Cottage Hill. and they seem to
enjoy the sport.
Thanksgiving day passed off very
quietly in the Ward, and owing to the
stormy weather, very few ventured
upon the streets, especially in the
afternoon
The minstrel show given by the
New Hope Band was we'll attended by
n number of our First warders, who
all report the performance up to date
and highly entertaining.
We had little taste of winter on
Thanksgiving day, which makes some
of the boys look about them and say,
What has become of those good old
hard-earned dollars which l failed to
hold on to last summer?
Things seem very quiet around the
corner nowadays, and the shutting
down of the rubber mill has had a
moral effect upon the boys, as they are
becoming quite tame of late and dom
seem to have that "don't care con
tinentnl' feeling about them, as here
tofore. Perhaps some of them may
gain point or two by their experience
which they have undergone in the
past two months. 1t is an old saying,
but still good one, to always lay a
little something away for rainy day;
or, "In time of peace, prepare for war. ="
Waste, not, want not, is maxim l would
teach,
Let your by-word be dispatch and practice
what you preachl
Do not let Your chances, like sunbeams, pass

On Thursday last, ali the machinery
at the rubber mill started very smooth
ly and by this Wednesday all the old
hands will be at work again. The
stop was prolonged one, and the
Encouragement of the machinery con-
sumed more time than was at first
anticipated, it being something over
two months. There was through all
this time "A large force of mon employ
ed and the delay in getting started
was not caused by the shortage of
help The amount of work done gives
good idea of the time consumed and
it can be readily seen that it was next
to an impossihility to do this amount
of work in any shorter time. OF course,
the time seemed long for those who
were anxious to get to work, for idle
ness is not in their line, and the time
80 passed. after few days, becomes
very tiresome, and thoir running
expenses increasing, leaves some
of them in rather II bad predioament

Everyone knows this stop was neces-
sity and will be of great benefit to our
town in the future, as this is now and
no doubt will he for number of years,

The tenth anniversary of "the
blizzard" was postponed from March
last until November On Sunday it
came, but with nothing like the sever
ity OF ten years ago. The snow fall
was not near so great, neither was the
wind as furious. The rain that pre-
coded it and the moist atmosphere
made the snow heavy, and it did not
bank up as it otherwise might have
done. However, travel was greatly
impeded in this section. The Flem-
ington Railroad was badly drifted in
some places, and it took snow plough
and three locomotives on Sunday to
open the road for Mondays travel.
On the Belvidere Division there was
little detention, as the track was kept
clear by the frequent running OF snow
plows. On the New Hope Branch of
the Reading there were no trains run
until Monday afternoon, even the
snow ploughs having stuck fast in the
drifts. The milkmen OF the surround
ing country did not get in town until
late Monday. The storm appears to
have extended throughout the country
and great damage was done to ship
ping and many lives were lost.

Some people, whose eyesight be-
comes impaired as they grow older,
never like to admit that they cannot
see as well now as they could in their
younger days. A good joke is told Of
one of these "can see as good as /
ever did" ladies' who lives near the
corner of Main and Church streets.
1t appears, that this lady had an
attack of ear ache yesterday Tuesday
and went to a closet to get some lini-
ment to rub on the aching member.
Finding n bottle, she applied the con
tents to the seat of pain. She was
gratified to find that after few appli-
cations, the pain had almost entirely
left, and remarked to lady friend who
happened in, what an excellent lini-
ment it was. The lady, desiruous OF
learning the name of such pain killer,
looked at the bottle. The next minute
she said with a smile, "why aunt Ell,
you have been bathing your ear with
Cough Syrup" Several inquiries have
been made to find out the name of this
excellent cough syrup that will cure
ear ache, but the bottle has disappear
