The recent bad weather has left
Main and Washington streets in an al
most hopelessly bad condition and dur
ing the changeable weather of the COM
ing winter they will present a much
worse appearance. There is an incli-
nation on the part of many to censuye
wildly and individuals who are IN no
wise responsible further than the one
complaining are blamed. This should
not be. The blame rests with the en-
tire community and the remedy also
rests in the hands Of the people. Is
our beautiful towo forever TO be
married by filthy streets, add business
Inconvenience thereby? No better
investment, we believe, could be made
by the people Of Mount Holly than
$4,000 or S25, 900 on the roads with
in its limits and we doubt not but that
should it be brought before our
august Town Meeting that fluid for
that purpose would be authorized -
But then our Town Meeting system
Of doing business is about the clumsi-
est and most absurd manner of cons
Quoting public affairs conceivable and
until something different is devised
we suppose Mount Holly will have to
put up with muddy streets.

TABERNAcLE.-
Everything seems to be quiet about
here at present, and there is very lit
tie to interest others than ourselves.
Having no hotel here, we are free
from disorder and fights SO common
in most villages.
Some of the pumps that have been
"lost" for some time past, can now be
found in their places, and as our farm
ers do not sell their mill, it is hardly
likely that the wells viii be dry again
this year.
If any of your readers desire to
test the strength of their carriage
springs, Shamong is the place for the
experiment. IF driving over the
bridges, which are thickly scattered
over the township, won't break them,
you can rest assured that they will
last you your lifetime.
We do not believe we have more
than fUe gunners after each rabbit
but we may be mistaken. A few
pheasants have been seen in the wood:
along the Flyatt road.

"Pink eye" the comparatively new
disease that attacks horses SO suddenly,
is spreading SO rapidly in Philadelphia
as to cause serious alarm among the
owners Of equines. II has also been
reported among horses in different
parts of this State, but we have not
heard of any cases in this county as
yet. When the animal first be-
comes affected it refuses to eat, or
IN other words, ''goes off its feed, !"
and in a short time the eyes are half
closed, watering and of pinkish ap-
pearance. Up to tbs point the horses
may be worked, though not too heav-
lily, but the next stage of the disorder
compels them to lay up. This con-
sists of swelling, beginning just
above the hoof and gradually extend
ing upward, until the legs are almost
twice their natural size and the bowels
badly affected. Considerable fever
attends the disease, which runs its
course in from nine to eighteen days.
With care the horse can generally
be saved, but the real danger comes
in when the animal has apparently re-
covered and returned to work. They
may be trotting along with no sign Of
anything wrong, and a moment, with
out warning, fall dead in their traces.
The disease is said to be Contagious
to some extent, and will often rue
through whole stables before being
checked.
