THE CANAL,
since it has been closed by the ice, has
undergone extensive repairs. Thirty five
or forty men have been employed upon the
locks here, under the supervision of Mr..
Palmer, and have Just about completed a
big job of masonry. To overcome the
artic condition of the climate a house was
built over the portion needing repairs, and
Winter defed by means of large stoves well
fed with fuel. By the time this is in print
the job will probably be finished and the
locks ready for the Spring opening.

THE WEATHER.
This week recalls to ones mind the fact

strong grasp of King Frost, but that the
beautiful Spring time is rapidly drawing
near, its coming is anxiously looked for,
and all hope that the back bone of Winter
is at last broken.

CHURCH MATTERS.

The wife of Rev. Geo. W. Easter. of
the Episcopal Church, died January 25th,
at his residence in this town. Mr.. Easter
had but lately removed his family to this,
his new field of labor. His wife has been
in delicate health. for a number of years,
and he hoped the change would benefit her;
but she gradually failed and passed away.
Her remains were taken to Richmand, Va,
for interment. Mr. Easter has the deep
and earnest sympathy of the whole com
munity..
On Thursday night of last week, the
Rev. J. d. Rgg was taken sick with
very severe sore throat and high fever, and
was confined to his bed till Tuesday even
ing, bat is now steadily improving. Rev.
J. c. d. Hanna has had charge Of the
extra services, as also those on the Sabbath.
Mr.. Hanna is an efficient worker in the
church, and a pleasant and earnest speaker.
His discourscs always being to the point.
In the absence of Rev. I. J. Akens,
Rev. John Squier occupied the pulpit OF
the Presbyterian Church, last Sabbath.
His reputation is so well established in this
community. that it is not necessary to
speak Of it.
The Episcopal Aid Society cleared about
500, at their supper in the Odd Fellows
Hall. They gave but short notice of
their intention to have one, but found
enough hungry people to consume their
large supply of fancy as well as the more
substantial articles Of foot.
FoX CHASE.
Some of our citizens, on Monday. saw
quite an exciting fox chase. The fox
came down on kerr's Island, crossed the
ice to Spcncer's Island. Going down to
the lower end he again took the ice going
slowly down towards Lapidum, and did
not discover that their was open water
between him and the Hartford shore till the
hohnds came off the Island in pursuit He
doubled and passed the hounds. One OF
them discovered him when about twenty
yards of. The pack followed in close
pursuit. The Ice being little soft, it was
a very close race for several hundred yards,
but the fox made the Island first and eluded
his pursuers.
COMPREHENSIVE FORMED.
Messrs. Goe Grant & James Z. Arm
strong have formed copartnership for the
purpose of carrying on the boot & shoe
business Both of them are excellent work
men, and worthy of the support of the
community. They have rented part of

CURIOUS ACCIDENTs.-S of the acct
dents that are noticed in local newspapers
are interesting for their novelty: John
Shawhan, in Lebanon, Indiana, accidently
wounded himself with a gun. He then
dropped the weapon, and a second barrel
was discharged, hitting a woman who stood
by: both died. Andrew II. Shore, coal
miner, in Piston, struck pick axe through
thin wall of coal between him and a
stream, and the water run on him so fast
that he was almost drowned. David Gar
vim tried to escape from cell in New
port police station by climbing through a
hole over the door: he fell, his feet caught.
and he hung, head downward, until he
died. George Wells, a policeman in Dan
vifle, Kentucky, took revolver from a
drunken prisoner and put it into his pocket
cooked; it went off and fatally wounded
him. A girl fell while skating at Milwau-
kie, and the pointed end of a smelling bot
tie, worn at her belt, penetrated her body
several inches. A Boston boy impaled him
self on cane that a man dropped Just as
his sled came along.

FUNERAL OF Mrs. HoFFMAN.-The re-
mains of Mrs Mary r. Hoffman, wife of
Rev. L. b. Hoffman, of the Philadelphia
Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, were inferred at Cherry HILL on
Tuesday. at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Hoffman
died at Parryville, Carbon county, Pa,
where her husband is stationed, on the
18th utimo. The body was, on Saturday
last, brought on to her fathers, DR.. r. c.
Carter, at Cherry Hill
The funeral services were held in the
Methodist Church. They were opened by
Rev. Mr. Johns, of the Presbyterian Church,
by announcing an appropriate hymn. Rev.
Mr. String, of the Philadelphia Confer
ence, then offered solemn and impressive
prayer. Addresses followed by Revs. Gun
bingham, Gilbert and Lybrand, also of the
! Philadelphia Conference. The address of
| Rev Mr.. Gilbert, personal friend of the
deceased, was touching and beautiful in
the extreme-in fact all were touching in
their tenderness, and all, with one accord,
agreed that no word of love was too strong
to convey their feelings of regard and ad-
mration for the character of the deceased.
AS the body was being conveyed to the
grave, the choir sweetly sang that beauti-
full burial hymn, " Peacefully Sleep"
Mrs. Hoffman had large circle of friends
by whom she was much beloved. This was
atested by the large number in attendance
at the funeral. Some idea of the number
may be formed, when it is known that over
two hundred carriages were in use; these
conveyed persons from distance. To these
must be added nearly the entire population
of the village of Cherry Hill, forming the
largest funeral procession ever seen in the
county.
