St. John’s Hall Packed to Overflowing With Friends and Relatives of Those Who Acquit Themselves With Hon or to Themselves and With Credit to Their Teachers. “He conquers who endures.'' was the motto five young men and nine young women took last night as their watchword and turning their hacks on Lambertville and its High School set their faces toward the world with nil its possibilities and all the bright promises of the future, cheered by the preseuce of parents, and friends and encouraged by the plaudits of their fellow townsmen they started on the road each one fondly hopes and all pray, shall lead them to success. And their encouragement was great too, the hall was packed from top to bottom and in all that throng were none hut friends and none who were not deeply interested in the welfare of the class of 1305. Professor Kerr, with proud satisfaction, says his olass receives the evidences of their years of work and of the patient and untiring labors of himself and the teachers who guided their young miuds along the way to knowledge. The directors of the school saw with pleasure the result of their eftorts aud the parents and the friends the fruition of their hopes. These young people are well equipped for the stern battle of life and henceforth the re sponsibility for success or failure is with them. a nc ui e •irnnucuc > Camp Barber, Elmer M.

Which matte its earthly existence on this mundane sphere about the year of our Lord 1732 according to traditiou, and has continuously serv ed its purpose about onehuudred and seventy years. lu June 20, 21 and 22 1778, the “Father of His Country,” and his soldiers, who were battling with Great Brittian for the freedom of our country camped here for a few days and were refreshed from this same “Old Well.” In 1832, its beautiful Burrouudiugs descending to the creek, were in vaded by laboring workmen who dug away and carted away, thus defaeeiug its surface, to make a bauk for a canal, digging up almost to the wall. About the year 18G0, earlier or later, the top was torn otT, and was theu fixed up on a low level with the street in order to make a high wall by its side, which surrounds the imposing edifice, which was built on the site of the original of 1732. Theu again, in its history, on the 10th aud tlth of October 1U03, it was baptized by immersion in an unpre cedented freshet iu the Delaware riv er, in which it was completely over whelmed. i>ow, moo, rue Duaru oi i convened to consider the propriety of discontinuing the use of the water from that well, on account of its im purity, of its great age and the dirty, muddy refuse that overflowed it iu October, 1908, considering it a men ace to life and health. It was then decided to consign it to the depth of the earth from whence it came to fill up the grave. It has been done. “Clone but not forgotten.” S. A. G. RINGOES.

The mau who makes two blades of grass grow where there had been but one is poverbially a public beuefactor Similarly, perhaps, the mau or the agency that adds to the ease of life or the facility of its active operations deserves recognition. Such, in effect is the accomplishment of tlie Penn sylvania Railroad in its new service to and from the West, and the fact that it is a corporation, seeking primarily to increase its revenues, need not detract from the acknow ledgement. To most persons, perhaps, the sen sational reduction of the New Y'ork Chicago running time to eighteen hours appeals in much the same way as a record-breaking automobile trip —an interesting and somewhat excit ing achievement. Rut it is much more. It brings the commercial cen tre of the Middle West three or four hours nearer to Philadelphia and New York; aud this saving of precious time is multiplied iutiuitely through its effect upon business activities and intercommunication. Once more, aud conclusively, the Pennsylvania Railroad has proved its title to the term “standard"—a title won in the most intense competition for supremacy in equipment aud operation. Home of the policies of the management in the past have proved mistaken; but no one can question that in physical results, such as improved construction aud progressive schedules, the Pennsylvania sets the pace for all its rivals. — Elias C. Scott,who is employed as miller at the Joseph Smith Company’s Hour mills at Prallsville, met with a painful accident on Friday afternoon last.
