# Jersey Journal/1944/PFC. Norton Back in Line

Vincent Gerard Norton (1923-2005) in an article written by the Jersey Journal in 1944.
PFC. Norton Back in Line. Pfc. Vincent G. Norton, wounded July 6, [1944] in the military operations in the Normandy campaign, recovering and going back to his unit, was wounded a second time in action in Metz, near the German border, October 18 [1944], and is now recovering in a hospital in England, according to recent word received by his parents, Thomas and Mary Burke Norton, of 603 Garfield Avenue, Jersey City. The soldier received a shrapnel wound in his shoulder the first time. His second injury apparently slight was, was caused by a bullet grazing his knee. Private Norton was awarded the Purple Heart for his first wound and an Oak Leaf cluster was added when he was injured the second time. The soldier is the possessor of an Infantryman's combat badge for marksmanship received while in training. Private Norton is 22 years old. he was born in Jersey City, and is a graduate of School No. 15 and Snyder High School. The soldier, with thoughts of the folks at home, cabled an order for a half dozen roses which his mother received at Christmas. Inducted into the army in May, 1943, Private Norton trained at Camp Campbell, Kentucky, going overseas in May 1944. Prior to induction, Private Norton was employed by the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Private Norton participated in the operations at Monte Castro and Falaise Gap when the Allied forces, springing a trap on the Nazis, broke through and carried onward. The soldier has a brother, Thomas Norton Jr., radioman, second class, who enlisted in the armed services in 1942. He took part in the invasion of Sicily in 1943, and was among the American forces that captured the Nazi airfield at Gela, 5 miles from the beachhead. The two service men have a brother, James Norton, 15 years old.

Preface
THE Second Volume of the Journal of Discourses needs no recommendation to make it interesting to every Saint who loves to drink of the streams that flow from the fountain of Eternal Truth. It is made up of the choicest fruit that can be culled from the tree of knowledge, suited to the tastes of all who can appreciate such delicious food. It contains the principles of the Gospel of Salvation to this generation. By the rules and precepts found in it, he that reads with the light of the Holy Spirit may measure himself and the progress he has made in the way of Eternal Life. Like a mirror it will reflect upon the souls of the meek and humble the beams of light which emanate from the presence of the Father. Hypocrites, and workers of iniquity, will find in it the most cutting rebukes, that, when uttered, tingled the ears of these who heard, and caused the wicked to feel the canker worm of conscious guilt, which will gnaw upon their vitals until the day shall come when they have paid the penalty of transgression, and are permitted to reap the blessing of repentance.
As the Kingdom advances, and the Saints emerge from the receding shadows of sectarianism and the prejudices of early education, the revelations of the Lord, through His servants, abound with increasing intelligence, and are more cogent and powerful in administering rebuke to the wicked, comfort and consolation to the Saints, and reveal more distinctly the way-marks which point the way to exaltation and eternal lives.
There is a feast of fat things continually spread in Zion for the faithful, and the longing appetite for celestial food need never go unsatisfied. Some discourses in this Volume mark distinct eras in the progress of the work. Among these we will only notice the discourses on the principles of Consecration, and those in which President Young has administered severe but well-merited rebuke to the General Government of the United States and its corrupt officials, and indicated the future course and policy of Utah.
According to the measure of light in which a man lives, the past serves as an index to the future. The marks which recent events have left on the dial plate of time, indicate a rapid increase in the brilliancy of the light which shines from Zion, and that the voice of "The Lion of Lord" will increase the terror of the wicked, and send trembling and dismay into the camps of the enemy. Let him that would be saved watch and pray, and read with an understanding heart the words that flow from the lips of Prophets and Apostles, and, when he has read, practise the principles they teach.

# Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society/Volume 45/Chinese Names of Streets
## Chinese Names of Streets.

The following notes, by an old resident, on Mr. Firmstone's valuable list in Journal No. 42 may prove of some interest.
Armenian Street.—Tan Seng Po was, I believe, a brother- in-law of Mr. Seah Liang Leah. His house was the one in Hill-street occupied till recently by St. Mary's College.
Beach Road (VII.)—"Twenty buildings," possibly this refers to the large houses in compounds which formerly fronted the whole of this road between Bras Basah Road and Clyde Terrace, and were in old times occupied by leading European residents.
Selegie Road.—"Tek-kha, foot of the bamboos." I remember when the road from near what is now the entrance to Sophia Road to Mackenzie Road was bordered by luxuriant lofty bamboos the most beautiful, I think, that I have seen. I mourned when they were removed to make room for houses.
Stamford Road.—The shop ceased to be a "shoe shop" a couple of years ago.
Tanglin.—"No 'little Tanglin.'" The part of Orchard-road between Tank-road and Grange-road, where there have been shop-houses for very many years, was formerly known as "Tanglin Kĕchil," and may be so still.
Keppel Harbour—"Jardine's Wharf."—Jardine's and the Borneo Company's Wharves were separate but adjoining the former the nearer to town.
​Malacca.—Riverside.—"Foot of the Dutch trees,"—The Fort Road, the ascent to the Stadt House, and the road to Tanjong Kling were adorned with magnificent avenues of angsana (sometimes called "sena") trees—the same as we have on the Singapore Esplanade. These avenues all decayed in the course of two years—some five-and-twenty years ago, I should say.

The BEACON BIOGRAPHIES. M. A. DeWOLFE HOWE, Editor.
The aim of this series is to furnish brief, readable, and authentic accounts of the lives of those Americans whose personalities have impressed themselves most deeply on the character and history of their country. On account of the length of the more formal lives, often running into large volumes, the average busy man and woman have not the time or hardly the inclination to acquaint themselves with American biography. In the present series everything that such a reader would ordinarily care to know is given by writers of special competence, who possess in full measure the best contemporary point of view. Each volume is equipped with a frontispiece portrait, a calendar of important dates, and a brief bibliography for further reading. Finally, the volumes are printed in a form convenient for reading and for carrying handily in the pocket.

# John Brown (Chamberlin)/Bibliography

A surprising amount of literature, largely controversial, has been written about John Brown. His story has inspired the authors of several nationalities. It would be impracticable to give here a list of all these publications. Several years ago the titles in Dr. Featherstonehaugh's bibliography of Brown, which included formal magazine articles, numbered eighty. I shall mention the books and articles of chief importance.
I. The Public Life of Captain John Brown. By James Redpath. (Boston, 1860: Thayer & Eldridge.) This was the first biography of Brown to appear. It contained much personal testimony, especially relating to Kansas matters, but was fragmentary and altogether partisan, and contained errors.
II. Senate Report on the Invasion of ​Harper's Ferry. By a Select Committee of the United States Senate. Senate Reports, No. 278, Thirty-sixth Congress, First Session, Vol. II.
III. A Voice from Harper's Ferry. By Osborn Perry Anderson. (Boston, 1861: Privately printed.)
IV. John Brown. By Victor Hugo. Paris, 1861: Dusacq & Cie.) Contains Hugo's own drawing of Brown on the gallows, marked Pro Christo sicut Christus.
V. Life and Letters of John Brown, with Notices of Some of his Confederates. By Richard D. Webb. (London, 1861: Smith, Elder & Co.)
VI. Life and Letters of John Brown. By F. B. Sanborn. (Boston, 1885: Roberts Brothers.) This is a really monumental work, of six hundred and thirty-two pages. Its author was a personal friend of Brown, and in his confidence through his last years. It is necessarily ​the foundation of all study of Brown's life. It presents a great body, but not the whole, of Brown's existing letters to his family and others.
VII. Century Magazine, June, 1885. "John Brown at Harper's Ferry." By John E. P. Daingerfield.
VIII. John Brown. By Dr. Hermann Von Hoist. Edited by Frank Preston Stearns. (Boston, 1888: Cupples, Upham & Hurd.)
IX. The Kansas Crusade. By Eli Thayer. (Kew York, 1889: Harper Brothers.)
X. Andover Review, December, 1890–January, 1891. "Preludes of Harper's Ferry." By Wendell P. Garrison.
XI. The Kansas Conflict. By Charles Robinson. (New York, 1892: Harper Brothers.)
XII. John Brown and his Men. By Richard J. Hinton. (New York, 1894: ​Funk & Wagnalls Company.) Another volume containing much personal testimony. It is especially valuable for the minuteness of the account of the Harper's Ferry Raid, and for its information about Brown's companions.
XIII. The Life of Henry S. Wise. By Barton H. Wise. (New York, 1899: The Macmillan Company.) An interesting and familiar book, written by the grandson of the governor.

# John Brown's Body (unsourced)

"John Brown's Body" (originally known as "John Brown's Song") is a famous Union marching song of the American Civil War. It was for many years generally assumed to have been created as a tribute to the abolitionist acts of John Brown, a claim now disputed by some historians. The song was found offensive by Major General George B. McClellan while he was in command of the Army of the Potomac, and he tried to ban it, to little effect (Sears, Stephen, Landscape Turned Red).

John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave; John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave; John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave; His soul's marching on!
Chorus:
Glory, halle—hallelujah! Glory, halle—hallelujah! Glory, halle—hallelujah! his soul's marching on!
He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord! He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord! He's gone to be a soldier in the army of the Lord! His soul's marching on!
John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back! John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back! John Brown's knapsack is strapped upon his back! His soul's marching on!
His pet lambs will meet him on the way; His pet lambs will meet him on the way; His pet lambs will meet him on the way; They go marching on!
They will hang Jeff. Davis to a sour apple tree! They will hang Jeff. Davis to a sour apple tree! They will hang Jeff. Davis to a sour apple tree! As they march along!
Now, three rousing cheers for the Union; Now, three rousing cheers for the Union; Now, three rousing cheers for the Union; As we are marching on!

# Journal of the Straits Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society/Volume 34/Notes on the Flying Frog
## Notes on the Flying Frog Rhacophorus nigropalmatus.

By R. Hanitsch, Ph.D.
Mr. A. D. Machado, one of the most constant benefactors to the Raffles Museum, presented last year a specimen of a Flying Frog from Pahang which I have only recently been able to identify as Rhacophorus nigropalmatus. As only two specimens of this species have so far been recorded, the one obtained by Dr. Charles Lose from the Akan River, Borneo (sec G. A. Boulenger, A. M. N. H. (6), XVI, p. 170), and the other obtained by Mr. L. Wray in the Piah Valley, Upper Perak (see S. S. Flower, P. Z. S., 1899, p. 899), this third specimen appears to deserve a special note.
Mr. Machado writes: I caught this specimen in an old prospecting pit one morning (January 1899) at Kuala Merbao in Ulu Pahang. He had evidently fallen into it and could not get out. I found him swimming about in the water. The pit was about twelve feet deep."
The specimen shows in external characters no difference from those described by Boulenger and Flower, except slightly as regards its cutaneous fringes and coloration. The fringes of the arm seem to be more developed than in either of the other two specimens: there is one not only along the outer edge of the fore-arm continued right to the tip of the fifth finger, but also a smaller triangular one along the inner side, beginning at the proximal end of the upper arm and ending at the distal end of the fore-arm, being widest at the elbow joint. There is a semilunar flap on the tibio-tarsal articulation, as in the other specimens, and, after a break, a narrow fringe along the outer side of the tarsus to the tip of the fifth toe. A very much smaller fringe runs along the first toe. A flap of skin above the cloaca is scarcely noticeable.
​When alive, the colour was a bright green above, but now, in spirit, a dark slate-grey with a purplish hue, with numerous minute white dots, isolated or in groups. There are five very conspicuous white spots on the upper surface of the thigh, one of them close to its origin, the other four a little lower down, arranged in a square. The flanks are whitish, veined with black, as in the Bornean specimen, the lower surface is a yellowish white. The enormous interdigital membranes are black near their base, but yellowish towards the edges, with yellow rays. going into the black portion.
The specimen is male, its testes being very large, 15 mm. in length. The Bornean specimen was female, whilst there is no record of the sex of the Perak specimen.
Its length from snout to vent is 81 mm., against 80 mm. in the case of the Bornean and 98 mm. in the Perak specimen.
The Flying Frog of which Wallace (Malay Archipelago, 10th edition, p.30) gives such a graphic description, is Rhacophorus pardalis and occurs in Borneo and the Philippines, whilst a third Malayan species, Rh. reinwardtii, occurs in Java and Sumatra. Very similar species are found in Malabar (Rh. malabarisus), the Eastern Himalayan region (Rh. bimaculatus) and Madagascar (Rh. madagascariensis).
