SAxroNs RIvER.--The Ladies festi.
val at Saxtons River last week was
decided success. The attendance was
large, the entertainment ample, and it
gave excellent satisfaction. The manag-
ers acquitted themselves finely, doing
their part in manner highly creditable.
The object for which the festival was
holden, was very worthy one, namely
the Improvement of the village cemetry.
The net receipts including some very
liberal donations from former residents
of the village, amounted to 1907. Hon.
orable mention should here be made of
those who donated five dollars and up
wards. Mr.. Charles Jones of Boston,
gave $50, Mr.. William and Mr.. Henry
Jones also of Boston, each gave s25.-
Mr.. Robert Wiley of Greenfield, Mass,
$40, and then came with his wife and at.
tended the gathering, adding to its inter.

two or three hundred dollars more be-
fore spring and then they will be able
to do noble and long needed work,
namely, improve and beautify the place
where our loved and honored dead are
buried. May success attend them in
this praise-worthy enterprise.

and over one hundred couples " tripped

Touching Incident.

When Captain Halls vessel, the Po-
laris, left the Brooklyn navy Yard, q
large number Of people collected on the
dock to see the expedition off and bid
Captain Hall and his brave crew fare
well. Among these were the families
and friends of a number of the men,
and there were several very sad and
affecting parting scenes.
One incident, especially, attracted
the attention of our reporter. One Of
the sailors, Henry II. Allen by name,
hardy, bronzed looking tar. stepped
aerossl the gang plank and approached
his wife and two children who were
standing on the dock. The poor sailor
drew the, sleeve of his jacket across his
eyes, and tried to hide tears from his
loved ones. He kissed his wife and
children. and the group knelt upon
the ground and prayed together,-
Their prayers were inaudihle, but the
assembled spectators knew that their
petitions were that God would preserve
the husband and father and bring him
back in safety to his family. One o.
the officers of the Polaris called to the
sailor to come aboard. There were hur.
ried embraces, and the sailor tore him.
