SMITHvILLE.-Mr. E. F. Burns
went to Hazelton, Pa, on Saturday
last, taking with him one of the Ameri-
lean Star bicycles. The following
in reference to his visit was clipped
from the Sentinel, of that place !.
"E F. Burns of Smithville N. j ,
who was in town Saturday in the in
terests of the Smith Machine Co,
manufacturers of the Star bicycle,
caused quite a revolution in public
opinion IS regards the merits Of the
various bicycles now in the market.
Mr.. Burns came here at the request
of our townsman, Stephen D. Engle
and others to demonstrate the impor-
tant features CT bic lie riding and to
show the superiority Of the Star bicy-
Gle over all other machines. That he
succeeded admirably will be cheerful
ly admitted by all who witnessed the
exhibition given at the Driving Park.
! He not only rides the Star with all
the grace and ease imaginable, but
owing to the fact that it is possible to
apply one-third more power to the
pedals than can be used on the Pope
or any other machine, great speed can
be made with it. Mr.. Burns could
with ease run away from Mr.. Engle,
who accompanied him on the trip to
Hollywood, on a 50-inch Pope bicy-
Gle, while the Star, which Mr.. Burns
rode, is but 48-inch wheel, yet he
was able to run up Fishers hill with.
out the slightest over-exertion, and on
the home run he came in mile
ahead of Mr.. Engle. At the Park be
demonstrated how easy he could mount
and dlsmount. This is generally most
difficult performance for amateur
wheelmen, but after seeing Mr. Burns
mount and dismount by springing to
and from the saddle much eaiser than
person can mount and dismount a
horse, without the slightest difficulty
spectators were unanimous in the
opinion that the Star bicycle is the
boss machine, and that it requires but
a few lessons from an expert like Mr..
Burns to enable any person to manage
it successfully and become a good
rider.
On Tuesday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
Benjamin Mar gave dance party in
the Opera House, in honor of Miss
Kugler, ofTrenton, who has been Wis
iting them for a short time. The
evening passed off pleasantly to all
present Mr.. and Mrs. Mar are very
hospitable and always endeavor to
have their guests enjoy themselves to
the utmost.

Lizzie Niece, single woman,
living at Haddon6eld, visisted rela-
tives in Mount Holly, living on
Green street, short time ago, and
on Sunday, 2lst ult, gave birth to a
child which was disposed of on the
same day aud the woman left town on
the following Tuesday Neighbors
noticed her digging in the yard on
the day the child was born and it
was rumcred that she had buried it
The people who occupy the premises
denied the rumor, however, and to
convince those who were talking
about the matter Coroner Carr was
sent for and upon digging at the spot
pointed out to him he exhumed the
body Of an apparently healthy-born
child, bat it was SO much decomposed
that it had to be re buried imme-
diately and no examination was made.
The truth Of the reported burial of
the child by its mother now having
been proved, the question arises, is it
a case of infsnticide !?

The continued drought and present
hot weather have had the effect of
greatly retarding the growth Of vege-
tables and the ripening of fruits. The
ground is dried to the depth of sew
eral inches, some wells are destitute Of
water, and streams are drying 10
many places farmers experience much
difficulty in procuring water FOR their
stock. Pasture fields present the APP
pearance of having been scorched,
while corn, except on damp bottoms
looks shrivelled. 1t is feared that the
ears will not ripen as we'll as usual
from want of moisture.
