and that the fines collected by the

urer of the town for the use of the
town. AT meeting held September
18th, 1851, the town council reported
to the company that 3 dozen coats had
been ordered for use of tho company,
at cost not to exceed 81. 90 each but
the coats were never purchased and
AT a meeting of August 18th, 1862 and
by motion of the company it was
Resolved that the Globe fire COM
pnny tender their resignation and de-
liver up the engine and other appar-
atus of the fire department to the
common council, also Resolved, the
secretary be instructed to transmit
copy of this resolution to the conn
ell, when on motion of the Globe
fire company, adjourned sine die. A
constitution was drawn up for II new
organization to be known az the Del
aware FIRE company Of Lambertville,
and that was about rs far as the COM
pany went. After this fire matters
became very dull, there being no
company up to 1863 when few citi-
zens got together and formed the
Aquatong fire company, which did
good service with hand engine.
They afterward purchased steamer,
but on January 81, 1881, this company
disbanded and divided the spoils On
July 10, 1865, the Union fire company
was organized, few of the members
of the company being members of the
old Globe and Hydraulion company.
They sold the same to the Bel and
Del. II. r. company and purchased
hand engine at Trenton. Then comes
the Fleet Wing fire company which
was organized August 90, 1854, the
Hibernia was organized Feb. /, 1870,
the Columbia was the last organized.
All of the companies started with
frame shacks IS the boys called them
but today all can boast of as fine
houses and we'll eq nIpped companies
as any in the state. The property of
each company is in first class condi-
ton and the members of each com
pany take pride in keeping ii so.

The annual meeting of the Hun
terdon County School Board Associ-
alton was held at the Public Library
in Pennington, on Monday the 4th
inst. Over seventy members of
Boards Of Education in the county
we're present. County Superinten-
dent Hoffman read the amendments
to the School law passed at the recent
session of the Legislature and they
were fully discussed by those present.
One OF the recent laws provides for the
attendance OF children between the
ages OF fourteen and seventeen at
school unless they are regularly en-
ployed at some useful occupation.
The Association voted to enforce this
law and also the compulsory feature
of the law which requires children be-
tween the ages Of seven and fourteen
to attend school regularly. Nearly ev-
cry school in the county shows falling
off in attendance during the past two
years and it is felt that this is because
many children who should be in
school are absent. Both morning
and afternoon sessions we're held and
the meeting was one Of the best the
Association has yet had.

PORTLAND BRIDGE AP-

Deputy State Engineer Houston,

approved and officially accepted.
Upon the recommendation of the on
giueer's Office the state will pay over
$40. 90 appropriated for this purpose.
Fremont county's share is about
$S, 600 and the Portland Cement com.
pany bears about 5000 Thus the
total cost of the structure is approx.
mately $50, 600.

Stand by Judge Stevens

The Indictment of Judge Stevens by
a Colorado grand jury has rallied his
friends in that state to his support.
Those who knew him best in Colorado
express their unbounded confidence in
him and commend Governor Dickerson
for the course he has taken.
The Rocky Mountain News, published
at Denver, in commenting on the indict-
ment of Judge Stevens, says:
One of the most upright judges that
ever sat upon bench in this state.
AS judge of the district court he gave
decisions impartially against the mine
owners and for the union, and against
the miners and for the mine owners.
He never wavered throughout his
career on the bench and he was always
the same upright judge. He could not
be bought. He could not he bullied
He interpreted the law as he saw it and
no one ever questioned his probity."

The Passing of the Veterans

Colonel .Sterrett is in Salt Lake to
make arrangements for the grand en-
camprnent next summer, says Goodwin's
Weekly. In reply to a question, he said
'Two-thirds of the men who enlisted in
the great war have gone to the other
side. The record of last year was that
one veteran died every six minutes and
IA died each day; a full regiment of
1000 died each week; o brigade of four
regiments every four months, and two
great corps, each of $4,000 men, died
during the year."
1t will be seen by that how swiftly
the whole glorified host is passing on,
and how a few years hence there will
be none left. They went out in the
flower of youth; they interposed their
breasts, living wall, between their
country and their countrys foes. MANY
died in battle, many died in hospitals,
the host has been lessening ever since
until two-thirds have passed away. At
the rate they died last year the last one
will have gone in fifteen years more,
but the great majority will not last that
long.
They offered all they had for their
country, they survived every ordeal,
but now the memorable years are having
their way and the march is almost done.
With renewed reverence each year the
arms of the nation should be drawn
around the sacred band to steady their
steps, to cheer their way down the last
decline. .-
Think of it. every six minutes the fold
ing doors of death swing back to receive
one of their number; every day 144
pass away, and every week a full regi-
ment. In the old days during the war,
even in the most exciting periods of it,
there were rests. There is no rest to
this march toward the grave, and the
record in the south is almost as great.
We believe every officer of exalted
rank who fought in the war has passed
away, except General Howard, and the
rank and file are swiftly following.
There is q perpetual sounding of taps
Let us hope that every morning the re-
veille in the land beyond the stars,
sounded on silver bugles and softly roll
ling drums, brings out the full con-
tingent and those that, failing to answer
roll call here will answer in the beyond,
and rejoice that the Elysian fields have
been won and the long march finally
finished
