Township Organization.

Our citizens will have another oppor-
tunity to adopt township organization
this fall. The County Court has made
the order submitting the question to the
voters at tho November election, the
proper petition having been presented
last Monday. The law was amended
last winter, we believe, and much i'm
proved in many respects, and it will
doubtless be adopted. Reports from
counties that have tried it, however
are to the effect that 1t i'll
crcases the number Of officers, and cost
of government, and consequently in
creases taxation; but, further improve
ments could be made cutting oil the eA-
pensive features of it. Lets have 1t.

Mean Tricks.

While church was being held at Long
Branch, on Sunday evening last, some
r~ascally young men of that vicinity fol-
lowed the bent of their natures by I'M
hitching horses, hiding saddles, remov-
ing wheels from wagons, cutting bri-
dies and stirrups, causing great neon
y~enience and much real damage tothose
who were engaged in devotional eNcr-
ci,es. The young men are said 70 be
known, and It is said this is not the first
d~cvil,ry they have been guilty Of. 1t is
hoped it is the last, however.

THE RESCU 2.

There wSs great compotiOn in Pater-
son when the discovery was made that the
convicted incendiary, Robert Parton had
escaped. From one end Of the village to
the other there was excitement and con-
fusion, and the morning had Just begun
when the entire surrounding country was
being secured by posse of officers and
volunteers, in search of the escaped pris-
oner
He had been aided in his escape, it was
evident, but by whom, the most thorough
search failed to show any connection with
it on the part Of the workingmen. Mr..
Amory was the most energetic of all in the
search, and he led band of men through
the mountain paths in look for the man
whom he 80 hated, and desired to capture.
The workingmen were puzzled at the
escape of the man who had been their
leader. and speculated upon the way in
which he had escaped from his prison cell
They were surprised, but were not able to
Understand how he had been rescued, and
while they were very much grsCified at the
escape, they did not canvass the situation,
bu sincerely hoped that he would not be
resaptured.
The developments of that afternoon
seemed to render their wishes a surety, for
tie prisoner could not be ferreted out, and
Id trace was discovered Of him. The
searching parties began to come in, and re-
ported an entire failure to find Robert
Parton, and that evening the following no
tice was sent throughout the entire coun-
try

The notice was sent and posted through
out the county, and the chances for the
capture of the escaped prisoner seemed
very fair
Ethel Tremayne, while she was anxious
as to the whereabouts Of her lover, did not
feel displeased at his rescue. She knew
that he was innocent, and sincerely hoped
that.the same person who had rescued him
would aid him in establishing his inno-
cence before the world. Her father was
not surprised at his escape, and attributed
1t to the worklngmen who were sincere
friends of the young mechanic.
Edwin Amory was chagrined and anger
ed at the rescue of his enemy. He did not
understand the affair, and feared that his
well-laid plans might not be crowned with
success.
So the first day of the rescue passed
away, and at evening James Mayhem, the
ex-tramp, in disguised apparel, entered
the village, to ascsrtain what he could,
that would establish the innocence Of
Robert Parton, whom he had rescued from
the Jail, and who was safely housed in the
cabin miles away from the little village
where escape was so generally commented
on, and wondered at
The plot was deepening, and was soor
to develop itself to the villagers and t.
Edwin AmOry.

The ex-tramp then proceeded to tell HIM
all he spoke Of his getting in with the

the letter Robert Parton had given him,
Of leaving the convicts, of returning to the

months were to be pleasantly and comfort
ably spent. The two men were soon en-
gagged at a meal which the eX-tramp had
prepared from some edibles he had con

of Robert Parton, and then they quietly
discussed the situation.

veil as she spoke, and took his hand in her
own. So astonlshed was he at her pres

unexpected appearance, that he had not

flushed and looked down, and then drew
