A CLERGYMAN,s SAD END.
Drink or Laudanum Ends the c,
reer of Rev Jacob Milford.

Drink or Laudanum Ends the ca.
reer OF kevJacOb milford.
Rev. Jacob milford, an ordained
preacher of the Methodist Church Of
six months standing, was found dead
in his chair yesterday morning 10 biz
home In Third street, below Market
Camden. The presumption Is that be
committed suicide by taking laudanum
although no evidence of the fact has
been shown beyond the numerous
threats of the deceased for the last
five years to end his life. A flask
partly filled with whisky was
found In his coat pocket, but no odor
OF laudanum was percep:ible about bis
person. DR.. Hamilton, attending
physician at the Camden Dispsnsary,
who was called on by member Of the
afmily, expressed the opinion that
death was caused by excessive drink,
which produced congestion OF the
brain. A post-mortem examination
and inquest will be held to day.
The deceased was well known
throughout Camden and the western
part Of the State. He practiced law in
Camden for nearly twenty years, but
was unable to retain clients by reason
of his love Tor liquor. Even when in
trusted with the most important cases
he would disappear and not be seen Tor
a week or more and then return pennl-
less. Through the efforts Of the
Young Mems Christian Temperance
Union tho deceased was reformed, to
all appearances, during the LAT or part
of 1880, and possessing fair oratorlcal
powers, he made a successful tour
through the State giving Temperance
lectures. He professed religion ana
became o preacher in the Methodist
Church. DIR. Graw of the Third street
M. e. Church, Camden, obtained
charge for HIM at Greenland in Gam
den county, where he gained tire TO
spect and esteem Of the congregal 'on
by his kindly and generous disposlt. ~.

RICH BROKERS CHEAT EACH
OTHER

The New York Stock Exchange has
been greatly excited for the past two or
three days a. the development of one OF
the most successful "corners" on record
Some months ago a syndicate of brokers,
under the direction Of John Duff, Jr., q
wealthy capitalist Of Boston, began 10
buy up as much of the common stock Of
the Hannibal aud st. Joseph railroad
which was quoted S45, as they could
get Only about 100000 shares Of this
stock are IN existence, and they have
succeed in getting hold OF 10000 OF
them at from $45 to $50. After the
stock had been purchased and safely
locked away in Mr.. Duff's safe, IL was
found that certain brokers were offering
to sell Hannibal and st. Joe short-tbsi
IL, they were agreeing deliver that which
they did not haye-and the pool, know.
ing that they held all the stock, at once
agreed to take all that was offered, to be
delivered in September, at from $40 70
500.
Among the "short" brokers-that
is, those who were making contracts
to deliver the stock in September at a
glven-were James R.Keene, Russell
Sage, Jay Gould, Addison Commack.
all big fish in Wall street. All these
and other gentlemen had made con-
tracts to deliAer great many more
shore Of stock than it was possible to
get any price, the syndicate managing
the corner" keeping all the time
their 30, 600 shares clos sly locked up.
MIR. ken, for Instance, had made
short contracts to the amount OF
l5,OOO. On Tuesday the syndicate
began operations, and the stock was
forced up as high as $135. The di.
lemma of the "shorts" is easily seen.
A proposition was made to settle at
$40. but it was rejected by the syndi.
cate, and on Wednesday the stock
was run up to 5000, at which it closed.
As the "shorts" had agreed to sell at
$46 aud $50, and the stock on Wednes-
day was selling at 5000, the settlements
amounted to an enormous sum. Mr..
keene paid 81 100000 as the difference
on bis short contracts. Russell Sage
gave his check for S700, 900, and another
operator was caught for $5O0,OOO. The
corner Is not yet entirely closed out,
out u has undoubtedly been wonderfully
successful, and will be long remembered
on wall street as one OF the most bril-
lantiy-managed stock operations ever
attempted. 1t is estimated that the
syndicate will realize not less than

Don't Whip n Frightened Horse

1t seems to be Characteristic fail
ing Of most coachmen to lay the
lash apon horse that exhibits fear
at any object in the street or beside
the road. Mr.. Bcrgh, President Of
the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals, says in the or.
gan to that society, what every rea
soning being ought TO know, and
that is, to never whip your horse for
becoming frightened at any object
by the roadside, for if he sees a
stump, a log or a heap of tan-bark in
the road, and, while he is cycling it
carefully, and about to pass it; you
strike him with the whip, it is the
log, or stump, or the tan bark that
is hurting him, in his way of reason,
ing, and the next time he will be
more frightened. Give him time to
smell all of these objects, and use the
bride to assist you in bringing him
carefully to those objects of fear.

Farmers Should Keep Diaries.

The advantages of keeping diaries
by business men are too manifold to
be enumerated. Every farmer should
keep one, for farmers are fast taking
their place as business men of i'm
portance. The late Daniel P. King,
din statement to the Essex Society
in 1S45, bears testimony to the ben
efts of keeping diary in farm man.
agement. He said:-I have long
kept sort of diary, in which have
noted the employments of each day,
the time of planting, hoeing and
harvesting, the amount of crops, the
cost of animals, current receipts and
expenditures, etc. The advantages
of keeping journal to a farmer are
many. By turning to the pages Of
past years he will be reminded Of
work which should be done in its
season; be will see where he has err
red and profit by experience; he will
know where his money, sometimes
difficult to account for, goes. A brief
diary would prove Of equally great
convenience in household matters, to
women.
