On Thursday last Mr.. Fred Isreal re-

calling the citizens of this place and vicinity
to a meeting held in the Odd Fellows hal
on Thursday evening last, for the purpose oil
laying before the people very grave subject
III regard to the grave yard fence. Many
of the citizens were somewhat amused al
the arbitrary manner in which the leader
thought to conduct the meeting, saying moth
lug Of his parliamentary ignorance. In an.
nouncing the Object. of the meeting, he said
the ground was given to the people of Bea.
yer Meadow by the old B. NJ. Company fol
a cemetery in which to bury their dead. Thi.
affair was managed by the trustees of The
Lutheran church who charged the people
IS lot for the ground, and appropriated
the money to keep up the fence. In the
meantime the citizens would often join in
and clean up the grounds. Some four years
ago the citizens again put the grounds int
a very respectable condition, spending sew.
eral days at the work. As soon as this wa:
done the trustees raised the price OF the lot:
to $l2. The people would lketo know why
the money that has been collected has moi
been spent about the cemetery.

The borough Council met on Monday
evening" Burgess Arner In the Chair. Sew.
bills were presented, and some of them order
cd paid. The borough treasurer was ordered
to renew his bonds. u. II. MacDaniels was
appointed Chef.Of-P Police; Councilman Trapp
handed in his resignation from the Council
which was accepted, and at the next meeting
the vacancy will be filled. The Council re-
solved to use the public school house In fu.

He called on the merchants, unceremoniously

we believe, in most cases was paid, and then
departed. But the merchants feel this mat

who are already taxed TO death. There mus

the park in this borough closed from year to

rid you Of it with certainty and dispatch ?
1t is remedy which never fails to release
cutaneous disease, and, as a means of ban
ishing defects of the complexion, it is equal
ly reliable. The benefits arising from the
use Of Sulphur Baths, in cases Of skin di-
sease, and Of rheumatism and gout, are well

CURED by many persons who would other
wise take advantage of them. Glenn's Sui
phur Soap answers the same purpose, and is
both inexpensive and convenient. No one
need stir abroad in search of a sulphur bath
who has this admirable means of providing
one in doors. 1t is incomparably the best
deodorizer and disinfectant of clothing and
bed linen in use, and prevents diseases OF
an obnoxious nature caused by contact.
Sores, ulcers, bruises, scalds, cuts and sp.ains
are promptly remedied by it; and its clean

scription, since such greasy compounds soil

ly indeed do any permanent good.

The Latest Invention I'm Useful
HouoehOId ArdlcIeu.


Within the last few years there has beer
expended a great deal Of inventive though
and genius upon what may properly b,
classed as household articles, the most noted
results Of which are the production of the
sewing machine, the wringer, the washing
machine, the carpet sweeper, &c. Almost
every week we chronicle the advent Of some
new invention by which the cares and la
bors Of housekeeping are lessened, and wo-
mans work made easy.
The newest thing 10 challenge our atten.
tion and gladden. the heart Of the housekeep-
er, Is, what is called the Novelty Brush hol-
der, Carpet Stretcher aud Sweeper, very
simple contrivance designed 10 firmly hold
IN position any kind Of brush or duster ;
having All extention handle that enables
one 10 wash or dust windows, walls or cell.
ing without the aid Of step ladder. That is
one Of its cJnVenienees, and it is also one Of
the best carpet sweepers in the market, hold
ing the brush firmly at an angle. 1t cleans
the carpet thoroughly, raises no dust, and it
does not wear the carpet like the ordinary
broom or brush, and will outwear . half
dozen BROWNS. As a hapdie for the scrub
bing brush it is the best device ever made,
no more kneeling on the floor, no more
back aches or sore fingers.

ly without any Of the labor and vsxation
usually attending such work. 1t is strong,
simple, thoroughly made, cannot get out Of
order, has no screws, lever or hinges, is COM
pact, cheap, and durable.
II is manufactured by Brown 4 Co., Gin
cinnati, the we'll known manufacturers Of
useful household articles, and IS sold only
by their agents to housekeepers. The real
utility Of this article will at once be seen by
those most interested, and we predict for it
a large sale. Every housekeeper in the
land will want one.

remunerative employment, would do well
to secure the agency for this county, which
can be done by enclosing a stamp for des-
