Q: secretary.
A. = meeting Of the Board Of Directors
HID on the 2lst ul,imo Mr.. \. NJ. Bow

fcbols. resigned. Mr.. Bowman is well
haown among the breeders OF blooded
s.oca Nol only in our State, but in many
oilers. and has been successful exhibitor
:: A.. Of our State Fairs. From his we'll
k29wn abilities and extensive acquaintance
h. IS doubtless the most suitable man that

Il. NJ. Bell has proposed to donate to the
ci:y i've acres of ground west of the city for
tie reservoir, together with the right of way
TOR laying the pipes from that point to the

course depend upon the engineers report.
TIE loss occA>ioned by the tire at the Nir-
ciu4 Porcelain and Terra Gotta Works last
Monday night will reach about $4,000. All
tlo patterns and much new and valuable
machinery we're destroyed. We understand
lat the company, which is composed almost
entirely Of Engishmen, will at once pro-
Coed TO replace the machinery destroyed.
The tire was accidental.
The weather is warm and pleasant, re-
EUGing one more Of the mild month OF May
than The cold, bleak December. MAX.
