All that we cat Or drink passes
over the top Of the winlDipe

But if We attempt TO swallow
anything too large: this tran-doo:.

attached to the more fcsh-lil.o

If, in eating, q man has g sharp

Of those pieces in his mouth,
and Chew and swallow with

tied together with one OF these
little strings, and while you have
Swallowed one part nearest The
swallow the othc" may be near the

leading belle Of the county had

ley was indicted on the lst Of
August last for the murder Of
Isaac J. Ducr, at Freeport, in
Gloucester County, on the same
day and at the same place. 1t
appears that both parties were
suitors Of Miss Marie Ella Spindle,
daughter Of DR.. Philip Spindle,
who resides near Freeport. Mrs.
Robinson, sister Of Dr.. Spindle,
testified that Captain Duer visited
their residence tor two months at

Early attentive to Miss Spindle
On the night Of the 18th Of May

DEATH OF Dr.. JESSE SroCKER.-O
readers throughout the county Will near
with regret of the death OF Dr. Jesse
Stocker He died at his residence IN
the southern part OF this county, on
"Wednesday evening last. Of paralysis OF
the stomach, &c. DR.. Stocker was a
gentleman of culture, eminent III ms
profession and possessed Of many adm
rable traits that eudeared him TO a large
circle of friends. His death is an esti-
mable loss to the community in which
he lived and practiced, so skilltuly ana

OFFICERS ELEcrrD.-Col. G. c. Por-
ter, as President, and Hon. ", u:
Travers. Secretary, of the Edge Hill
Cemetery Corporation, haying resigned
their respective Offices, at meeting OF
the board on Monday last the vacancies
were filled by the election of George
w. Eichelberger, Esq, as President,
and W. w. B. Gallaher, Secretary
Free Press.
SUPPOSED Mad DoG.-A VICIOUS dog,
supposed to have been mad, "a large
Newfoundland belonging to Mr.. ). u.
McDonaldj was killed in this town on
Friday morning last. Whilst there IS
no certainty about Ills being rabid, yet
at the same time it would be well
enough for our people to be on the
lookout for others that may have been
bitten by him, and thus guard against
any serious consequences from this aW
ful' disease, should it really have made
its appearance in orr midst.-NP'rh.
SAD W.RSrxG.-A little infant OF
Mr.. Henry Hale, Of the neighooI hood
Of Baneys Mill, i'll this county, came 10
its death in a sad manner about ten days
ago. As we are informed, the infant
was frctting and the parents, IN ofoer
TO quiet it. poured q little water IN
laudanum vial from which the liquid bad
eyaporated and left the pure sediment
of the opium in the bottom, and alter
shaking it up, added some Oft to II dose
of pareeoric and gave it to the child,
and in a short time the babe was
corpse.-Spirt.
AgscoyDED.-Somel little excitement
was caused in our town last week by
the sudden disappearance of Mr. Nj. ).
3. Robertson, Town Sergeant for the
Corporation Of Charlestown, who, with
out any notice Of his intention, left town
on Tuesday morning, taking with him
several hundred dollars Of collected tax
es in his hands. II has been found up
on examination, however, that after
substrac;ing the amount of salary due
him, the corporation treasury will only
be deficient to the amount of about $50.
1t is now reported that Mr.. Roberstons
official bond is also missing. If this be
so, it is, to say the least, an exhibition
of gross carelessness and neglect on the
part Of somebody That a public Off
GERS official bond should be thrown
around loose where he may have access
to it at any time, is rather 4 careless
way of doing business.
The Council, on Thursday night last,
appointed Mr.. w. S. Merchant Towh
Sergeant, to fiji the vacancy caused by
the removal of Mr.. RobertSon.-SpirH.
