is evident that the President has will and con-

Patent Horse to carry his MASTER


Needs no spur to make him 60 faster;


Runs along cheeriiy soon you stride him,
Ready to go wherever you guide him.


THESE horses run rapidly over any good
i road, sidewalk park grounds, with grace
full cantering motion. propelled mainly by the
Ueight Of the rider, alternating motion from the
saddle to the padals, the act OF rising to the
motion of the horse, and with about the same
am ut OFF exercise to the rider riding live
horse, ano with about the Isame amount of exer-
else to the rider in riding live horse They
may be started, stopped short, or controlled in
going down hill, by the rider. They will run up
moderate ascent, If the road Is hard and hrm.--
They are directed by the bride. As the motions
identical, it is good mode Of training for
equestrianism. They are unequalled as a means
for agreeable and healthful out door exercise, all
the year round, for adults well for girls and
boys OF two years old and upward. Girls ride by
using the side-saddle horn-those under ten years
old usually ride astride The size fer boys strong
.,nough to carry a man of 800 pounds weight. On
the dewalk or level ground light carriage with
a child in IT can be attached and drawn. Any per-
son having but one leg can ride perfectly well.

LAZY BoYs.-Every boy aud par.
ent in the land should carefully
read and seriously reflect upon the
following: ga lazy boy makes a la
zy man, lust as sure asa crooked
sapling makes crooked tree
Who ever saw q lazy boy grow up
in idleness that did not make a
shiftless vagabond when he became
a man, unless he had a fortune left
him to keep up appearances? The
great mass of thieves, criminals
and psupers have come to what
they are by being brought up in
idleness. Those who constitute
thebusiness part of the community
those who make our great and VS. :
full men, were taught in their boy
hood to be industrious.

IT is astounding to think of the number
of burglaries, highway robberies and as
saults and murders for money perpetrated
in every portion Of the country at the pres
ent time. Every newspaper one takes up
has a special crime of this kind to record.
Not alone to The larger towns and cities do
the scoundrels confine their operations.
They infest the obscurest village and fire.
quent the by-road as well as the broad high
way. In cities-as the telegraph records to-
day of St. Louis-they knock bank mes
senger down and rob him of a large sum, at
monday, on a street not far removed from
the business centre; enter a bank and steal
s., ,OOO; or a hotel-as in San Francisco
overpower the night clerk and rob the safe;
or abstract packages from an express wagon
in the daytime, as it drives its rounds. In
the country they are equally as bold, and
and of late it has become feariully frequent
that the crime of murder is added to that OF
robbery. Next we shall hear of vigilance
committees-a remedy almost as bad as the
disease. Executive officers of the law every
where must be stirred up to prompter and
more efficient performance of their duties.
1t is notoriously true, especially of the police
force of many cities, that if policemen do
not purposely get themselves out ofthe way
when their presence is most needed, they
are so slip-shod and slack and slow that the
garroter or pick pocket or house breaker has
unlimited chances of escape. A few dozen
robbers picked up every morning with bull
let holes in their bodies, or broken skulls
would have salutary effect on the rest of
the fraternity.

The charge so unanimously preferred by
the copperhead papers of the State. that the
recent election was carried against them by
the potent influence of greenbacks upon the
mercenarv portion CT the deraocratic voters,
is very effeclually reiuted by Maj. T. K
Pangborn, Editor of the Jersey City Times
and an active member of the Union State
Committee. He says


The Union party have not been under the
necessity of using nor have they used, one half
as much money in this campaign as was ex-
pended last year in New Jersey in our contest
with Mcclellan We have not received ore


third as much as usual from our friends in 9th
er States-not half az much in fact as we ought
and the Administration at Washington
though ardently desiring our s.ccess and great
ly delighted wit it, has not aided lis to the
extent Of single dollar. Never was poiti-
cal campaign in any state, at all approaching
this IN importance. carried on more economi-
cay or honestly than this has been. Never
was so much political work accomplished at
so slight cost of money. This fact is credit
abe to the members of the Union party, and to
the Union State ommiitee.


These are the simple facts, and it does us
good to be able to state them authoita'ivey
as we do from our own personal knowledge
| They efiectually dispose of the delnsion anJ
the lying "f the copperheads about the Uniol
party having won New Jersey by the aid o
"Greenbacks." The victory was gained by nc
such means but is due to The good sense and
right convictions OF the people, to the faithful
indefatigable labors of those who managed aIid
work ed in the contest, and to the wicked and
| foolish conduct OF our opponents

itively refused to return with the Sheriff
What could not be accomplished by fair
nreans was effected by stratagem, and
chiefly through deceptive means he was
taken to Manchester, where the Sheriff
and he arrived only the evening before
the day appointed for the execution. The
villagers had assembled at the village inn
earnestly discussing the trial, some justi
flying the verdict and sentences, and 9th
ers condemning them, as no dead body
had been found, and asserting their belief
that Colvin would yet turn up alive
While thus debating, the stage drove up
and the Sheriff and Colvin got out the
latter was instantly recognized and his ar
rival as may be supposed, caused the most
intense excitement; guns were fired, bells
rung, and people ran through the streets
crying "Colvin is come !" The villagers
soon assembled in front of the Jail and de-
manded the liberation of the two broth.

The younger Bovine afterwards stated
that be really thought they had killed
Colvin, that he could not account for the
disappearance of the body !; and that he
was induced to make his confession as he
was told ''he would actually be hung if he
did not confess and if he confessed he
would only be imprisoned for a while."-
The assault upon Colvn had resulted in
his being struck senseless I; after while
he recovered sufficiently TO get away, and
he had then wandered down to Polhemus
Mills where he made his appearance as
before described. His intellect had been
shattered by the injuries he received from
the Bownes. Upon his return to Man.
chester with the sheriff, strong Efforts
were made by his wife and others to in-
duce him to remain, but positively refus
ed, and in few days he appeared again
at Taber Chadwick's, with whom he az
terwards remained Aged citizens Ct our
State are still living who remember him.


About ten years ago statement OF the
whole affair was published in the New
York Tribune, as made BY one of the
Bownes who was then living An account
of the trial of the Bownes is to be found
In Greenleat's Vermont Reports


The narrow escape of the elder Bovine
from an ignominious death seemed little
less than providental. Taber Chad nick

series of incidents almost too remarkable

The Democrat in one article says the
success of the Union party in this coun-
~ was carried by money!" and then tells
us that its rooster will "continue to crow
and rejoice over the good name of Monmouth
county" Very "good name" the copper
heads Of Monmouth county ought to have,
if one-third Of its majority can be cut off by
money. What sort Of bird is it that fouls
its own nest? That rooster had better be
sold, if its owner believes copperheads sell
themselves like that.

SUPPORT OF ANDY JoHNsoN-The copper
head presses of New York and New Jersey
have, during the late political campaign,
been running race in the bestowinent Of
iulsome flattery upon President Johnson
They claimed him as a "good Democrat"
and as member of their party. A promi-
nent politician in this vicinity claimed that
the copperhead party had been running after
the Republican party four yers cry ing stop
thief because they had possession of Andy
johnson, but now the copperheads had stol
en- the President back. and they intended to
keep him In New York the copperhsads
stole panks out of the Baltimore Republican
platform. and in both that State and this,
the party attempted to play the part of 'the
old man of the sea" and ride into power on
the shoulders of Andy johnson The trick,
however, did not take. Now that the smoke
of the battle has cleared away, and nothing
more is to be gained by false professions of
love for our President and our soldiers, the
copperheads begin to hiss in their usual and
natural manner. We insert the following
from the Newark Journal as fair specimen
of copperhead lying, and true reflex Of the
base venom of the party:


Two PRETTY Purs.-We have announced
that Generas Fitzpatrick and Logan have been
appointed to foreign missions They are both,
like Andy johnson, re egade Democrats, Gen
eral Logan is a man Of considerable eloquence,
General Fitzpatrick is simply an ass. Logan
was bought by military Fitzpatrick
was added by Martin Ryerson. Neither has
any character to lose. Fitzpatrick was confill-
ed in the Old Capital Prison as a thief; he was
suspended for three months by General Meade
as liar, and according to the statement of his
own negroes, he came near being captured by
ade HAMPTON on account of his lascivious in
tercourse with the female negroes Logan is
technically, hummer, and, for consideration
turned tail upon his best friend, Stephen A.
Douglas. Of such material are the represent
atives of this country composed Let them


hive with Burlngame, Harvey and Helper. The
worshippers at the shrine of Andy johnson viii
soon get their eyes open if he makes many
more such appointments as these The most
fitting thing that he could do would be to ap-
point himSelfa Minister to the Sandwich Is
lands, and abdcate


This shows the base fraud which that parry
of traitors attempted to palm off upon the
people. Can any soldier read the above vii
| liftation of two of our most celebrated lead
ers, without feeling that the writer is a very
cur If he lived in wool growing region he
would be shot in less than week for steal


ing sheep. Surely no solder will "hive"
with party that INDUCES in such abuse of


gallant Union officers, while it is always
careful to speak of traitors like Lee and
Bragg and Davis as Christian gentlemen.
