time pas. and proposed TO do the same in
the future. Having served the customary
notice some two months or more ago the
trustees have been laboring assiduously ever
since to convince said tenant that she was
to remove. She did not sec it. To her
was at least two thirds owner
ship and she has spent her time in making |
strong her position, barricsding doors and |
windows and preparing for siege. AS
watchman on the outer wall she has stood |
at her post 6 living emblem of eternal Wig |
lance. Time and again have the trustees
prepared to lay siege and just as often have
their efforts come to naught owing to the
watchfuness of the occupant Two months
OF plot and counterplot having availed
nothing, the besiegers, too weak to sue
coed by force, too honorable to resort to
flames, have been compelled to call par
ley and at this writing we learn with much
pleasure that compromise has been ell
fected without the intervention OF arms or
shedding of blood, the trustees having made
numberless concessions are to be lett IN
possession of the house and the OLD lady
will retire TO the "ark" whence years ago
she emanated. OF course the Rev. will
Immediately move in and we trust his oc-

Business is dull in our town and about
every other man is coming to realization
that he needs just the income of our post
o(Iice IN order to get along and live IN toll
cradle style. The consequences is that
large share of the cheeky part of our pop
ulaton is busy circulating petitions adj
dressed to the Hon. p. NJ. General, asking
g in
the Office of postmaster. Each offers ex-
traordinary inducements and belittles his
rivals regardless of the Kings English or
even the golden .iewel-careless of the place
that will be assigned them in the hereafter
Meanwhile the present accommodating Of
fetal pursues the even tenor of his own
way, backed By no petitions or runners,
simply remarking to post office aspirants in
that broad nasal tone. "You haven't got
this ere post office yet and when you do
shall probably hear OF It," "PHIL."

belong to his church and society, are ST
highly impressed that they too are very
much gratified that he is to remuin.
