From the Railway IN. J.) Advocate.


Extraordinary Adair.-Our neighboring VII
lage of Woodbridge was the scene of most ex-
Taordnary occurrence on Sunday last, and as a
variety of stories in regard 10 it are afoat, we
have taken some pains TO get at the truth Oh the
matter.
II seems that a young man named Hogan, whose
parents are Catholics and who reside at the Short
Hills, had been for some time attendant at the
Methodist Church Of Rev Mr. Graves, at Wood
bridge, and on Sunday was 10 be received into the
church.
On Saturday message was received by his
parents that If the did not appear at the Cath
Ole church in Railway and make recantation, his
death would be the consequence. In the course
of that night quite number of Irishmen collected
around the house, and tho young man fearing some
violence, slipped away unperceived and walked
10 Woodbridge. He expressed willingness 10
leave the place, as he feared he should get his
friends into trouble, but he was told the laws
would afford ample protection TO all.
AT the opening of morning service number OF
Irishmen collected around the door, and the father
of the young man attempted to forcibly prevent
his entrance, but the effort was unsuccessful. In
the afternoon a still larger crowd assembled, and
the father and mother of the young man, backed
by their friends, attempted 10 drag him off by main
force. AT this juncture a magistrate, Mr.. jack
son. nterfered and ordered the citizens to effect a
release, which was quietly but promptly done.
Threats Were made Of further violence in the
evenings and request for assistance was sent to
Railway, in order that any rioters making their
appearance from here might be identified for ar
rest. The appearance of strong force from here,
who were understood 10 be prepared for any emer-
gency, with the arrangements made there by the
magistrate, had the desired effect, and no further
disturbance occurred

NJ Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
TO the public, is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO

"Young America Pranks.-On Sunday
morning, German milkman, having partially
supplied his customers, went into tavern TO
take private drink; but the dram being too
strong for him, in addition TO the quantity Of
spirits he had previously imbibed, be there fell
asleep, His milk wagon was left before the door
for several hours; the horse patiently awaiting
the return Of the driver. Several boys became
acquainted with the fact that the latter was OBJ
livious for season, proposed one TO another to
take ridei and so they accordingly gra,i6ed
themselves in this particular and they even went
so far as to accommodate juvenile passengers al a
penny piece.
They all had lively time Of il for several hours
and when their sport was over returned the milk
cart TO the spot were they borrowed il. The milk
man was none the wiser for the proceedings but
the poor horse was severely jaded by the fleet
driving, and the milk underwent such violent,
continuous shaking not certainly TO improve its
quality. Many customers that morning had to
drink their coffee without milk.
