In submitting my annual report. IS re-
quired by law, I havo deemed II proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should DO
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances OF the town are in Q healthy
condition, considering the dullness Of bust.
meas the past year. The revenue from the
different branches Of business has consid-
erably decreased. and were 1t not for the
curtailmen, OF the running expenses Of
the town In the beginning Of the year. and
the strictest economy on the part Of the
Town Trustees, the town debt would have
been increased instead OF lessened.
The water works and everything con-
nected with them is in excellent condi-
ton. The hydrants and mains have been
kept in the best working order.
The streets are all In good repair. and
have been kept so with very little expense
to the town. The sewers are all in good
order. As the cost Of newcomers and re-
pairs on old ones is always very heavy, the
Board have not done any work upon such
only where there was extreme necessity.
The officers Of the town have been faith.
full and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police force. though small.
has done much In keeping Of that element
which Is 80 much annoyance to every
community. Dangerous and suspicious
characters have had but little opportunity
10 prowl around in u midst, and our
people have much reason to DO thankful
that their interests are 30 we'll guarded by
such an efficient police force.
The Fire Companies, to whom is in
trusted the safety Of u property from
| DIRE, deserve some notice at this time
| Their activity and efficiency at all times
when their services were needed has been
In keeping with their past record, and i
might safely say that NJ volunteer fire
department on the coast can surpass ours
for promptness and activity.
In conclusion, ! will state that / sim
cerely thank the members OF the Board.
one and all, for the very able manner In
which they have at all times assisted me
In the management Of town Affairs. That
unity and good will which has existed
among them. together with Q strong desire
to serve the best interests OF the town. has
made my position a. President OF the
Board most agreeable. As . new Board oil
Trustees will soon commence their labors,
/ feel il my duty to call their attention tc
the economy which has been practiced by
tho retiring Board Of Trustees, as the
prospects are that the revenues from taxa
BE property. owing TO tho extreme dull
ness Of the times will DO much less thar
they have been the last year. Very respect
fully, l.. I. Fox,
President OF tho Board Of Trustees Of
the Town Of Gold Hill.

Lawyers Under Peter.

Ppter the Great, of Russia, was mon
arch Of large views but invincible preiu-
dices. Helovcd his country, and longed
to see it take higher place in European
history. He saw clearly that progress
could be made only ny the Introduction
of new industries and by skillful train
ing in mechanical labor.
To forward this end he visited in dis
guise the older nations of Europe, made
himself thoroughly acquainted with
their forms of industry, and worked as a
common mechanic at various trades.
He sent, also, numerous young men
of promise to great cities in other coun-
tries, to acquire skill in the mechanical
arts, and to become teachers of their
countrymen.
But, while honoring all we'll
trained mechanics, he had rooted
contempt for lawyers. It puzzled
| him to understand how they oc-
cupied high positions in England and
France. They multiplied quarrels. he
said. and fattened on the life-blood oil
others. Vexed at the high esteem In
which they were held elsewhere, ht
vented his wrath in the memorable
| threat:
am thankful ! have only two
LAWYERS III rny empire. When ! return
4 | mean 10 execute one of them. 2

Words of Xisio m.

To despond is to be ungrateful befor e.
hand. Be not looking for evil. Often
thou drainest the gall of fear while evil
is passing thy dwelling.
I don't like to talk much with people
who always agree with me. 1t is anus
ing to coquette with an echo little
while, but one soon tires of it.
The old lady who believes every
calamity that happens to herself trial,
and every one that happens to her
friends Judgment, is not dead yet.
He who thinks no man above him
but for his virtue, nor any below him
but for his vice, can never be obsequi-
Gus or assuming in the wrong place.
At thirty we are all trying to cut our
names in big letters upon the walls of
this tenement of life; twenty years later
we have carved it, or shut up our jack
knife.
No humility is perfect and proper
toned but that which makes us hate
ourselves as immortal-the humility
that kneels in the dust, but gazes on the
skies.
A man often needs his anger-as
well as his other passions-to blast
away the obstacles to his path; but the
indiscriminate use of his nitro-glycerine
is dangerous and destructive.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1880-04-15
A Bird Flies Through Pane of Glass,

A ball fired from a pistol or rifle at a
pane of glass will cut a clean hole
through the pane the size of the bullet,
cracking the pane but breaking out no
pieces except the one before it. This
curious principle is made use of in
marine and other gunnerY ships when
near together. using very small charges
of powder which causes the ball to
crash in a ships timber, while with a
heavy charge it would cut a hole only
the size of itself. This attribute of pro-
jectiles has received very curious illus
tration at a house in the suburbs of
Waco, Texas. The lady was startled
by a crash, and entering tie room where
it occurred saw lying on the floor small
bird hawk fiuttering in death, while
near it lay a little bird dead, and
which it had evidently just dropped
from its talons The hawk in
making the dive after its prey
had miscalculated and struck the
window. And now comes the curiosity.
In the center of the pane Of glass was a
hole through which the hawk had
come in, and seemingly smaller than
the bird itself, while the pane though
cracked was unbroken in any other
place. The rapidity with which birds
fly can be estimated from this fact,
since its protective force was sufficient
to produce the effect of slowly moving
pistol ball.

Venus, GirdIe.

This pretty creature ie found in the
Mediterranean, where it attains the ex-
traordinary length of five feet, the
breadth being only two inches. The
mouth of the Venus girdle is in the CEN
ter of the body, occupying compare
lively small space. The body is ribbon
shaped toward two opposite sides from
the mouth. The edges of the ribbon-Iike
body are serrated or provided with nu-
merous little lips, by means of which
the creature propels itself forward. It
can also propel itself from one place to
another by peculiar spiral movement.
The Venus Girdle, with its magnifi-
cent colors, is most bea utiful object
Various attempts have been made to
keep them in aquariums, but they sur
vive for few days only. They are at
tackled by the other animals in the
aquarium, and have such a ravenous
appetite that it is almost impossible to
supply them with sufficient food. When
touched they Immediately roll them
selves up into regular spiral.
Owing to its great length and tenuity.
1.-The Venus Circle is seldom found quite
entire, but It seems 70 care little for d
l foot Or 80 of 1fS substance.

Adroi. Thieves.

A New York detective says: 1t is q
mistake to suppose that European crimi-
mails are superior to ours in drOitness
and boldness. Our bank burglars are
ahead of their English rivals, and so in
almost every other branch of criminal
ity. Some novel things done on the
other side of the water have given rise
to the notion in some peoples minds
that the European criminals have more
originality than ours. One Of their
queerest and most novel tricks was the
clt ckwork dodge fnr burglary. That
was operated in Bellium, and, believ
in Paris. Jewellers were the Victims
A man would 60 into a jewelers. store,
buy some expensive things, pay for thems
and take them away. He would return
the rext day, and, saying that he was
afraid to trust th6m 10 the keeping OF
his servants, would ask permission to
leave them temporarily in their box IN
the jewelers. safe That being accorded
he would return third time, make more
purchases, put them also in the box and
take out some articles. In doing so ne
would set in motion concealed clock
work in the box, witch, at given hour
of the night, would strike hammer
upon cap, fire a mass of dynamite In
the box and with the explosion rend the
safe. Ofcourse the burglars would have
their preparations made 10 be on hand
when that occurred. That was ingen-
ious in its way, but requiring infinitely
less skill and address IN efecting than
hundreds of devices our rascals have
employed, and could never be played on
our Yankee jewelers.. The French have
been said to be ahead of us in skill in
obtaining goods and money by false pre-
tences; but where does the world afford
such a brilliant record of achievements
in that line as is set forth in the history
ar New York savings banks?
