In his rounds of the city day or two
ago officer Olmsted, always on the lookout
for violators of the law, espied crowd of
boys outside of the city limits, near the
Wabash incline, engaged in gambling with
nickeIs. Slowly he made his way toward
them, but if he entertained any idea of cap.
turing them without serious trouble, he was
disappointed. One of the boys caught sight
of him before he come within a hundred
yards of them and gave the alarm The
result was that the nickels speedily
snatched up and pocketed, while number
of rocks were gathered together and game
of marbles" (O begun before the officer
could reach them. These young rascals
have become so sharp by their frequent
experiences in the courts of law that they
are never at loss for scheme to deceive
the officers and for covering up any proof
of guilt that may exist. That the groupe
of boys referred to, were guilty of viola
ton of law, was amply proven by the fact
that one of them scampered over the incline
embankment and toward the cotton woods
at great rate of speed, as soon as the Off
GERS approach had been noticed

A petition signed by the leading
members of the Order Of Odd Fellows
in this State requested Past Grand
Master Samuel Read Of Mount Holly
to officially announce to the Grand
Lodge the death Of James L. Ridgely,
G. R. s. Of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge, which occurred short time
ago. 10 obedience to the request, Mr..
Read delivered the following address
before the Grand Lodge in session at
Trenton two weeks ago:
In response to the request made by
the Past Grand Masters and the Past
Grand Representatives of this iuris-
diction, that / should announce to this
Grand Body the unwelcome informa-
ton Of the demise of the great head
of our Order-for although Bro. Jas.
L. Ridgely was the Il. W. G. Rec.
and Cor. Secretary, of the Sovereign
Grand Lodge, yet he was literally the
head of the Order-I have melan-
cholY duty to perform. For more
than fifty years he has been the first
officer Of our Order, to him perhaps,
more than any other living person is
due our great prosperity. He has
been the exponent of the intricacies
in the work, and in all the develop
ments of our Institution has directed
with consummate skill the great ship
Of Odd Fellowship-the dissemination
Of the grand principles of Friendship,
Love and Truth-Faith Hope and
Charity to the four quarters of the
Globe.
To-day, we have received the sad
intelligence that God in his Divine
Providence has said to him, swell
done, good and faithful servant, enter
thou into the joys of thy Lord, and
into the Grand Lodge forever"
And l say to you Brothers, as I
look over the Lodge; this most respec-
table body Of fellow citizens, and
Brother Odd Fellows; many of whose
heads are covered with the frost Of
time! l say, not only to you, but to
myself, this is call thus personally.
The distinguished deceased has real
lied the fulflment of that important
lesson that has been given to us all
upon our induction into the Order of
Odd Fellowship; "That silent, yet im-
pressivc lecturer, to vice confusion,
but to virtue peace, is all that remains

The efforts of John F. Smith and Con-
stable Heaviland to capture Edward Mill
Ter, who was supposed TO be concerned
in the robbery of the residence of Rhoda
Coffin some time ago proved very satisfac-
tory. Miller had been about Mount Hol-
ly and vicinity for some time, but having
a suspicion that he was being Swallowed
he disappeared. He returned again,
however. last week and being recognized
by Mr.. Smith was after some difficulty
arrested and lodged in Jail, where he
made confession and implicated his
wife in the robbery. She resided in
Philadelphia with some "lady friends"
but it was learned that she was visiting
at Toms River al that time. Messrs.
Smith and Heaviland went to Toms Riv-
er on Tuesday last, where they found
Mrs. Miller and lodged her in the Ocean
county Jail. The next morning they
brought her to Mount Holly and put her
under the care of Sheriff Hays. 1t was
learned after much questioning that the
greater part Of the stolen goods were in
the hands of various parties in Philadel-
delphia, and on Friday Mr.. Smith aud
Constable Heaviland went to Philadel-
phia, where with the valuable and highly
appreciated services of Detective UNI
stead, well-known by name and reputation
to our readers, they secured large guam
tity Of the stolen goods. Miller and his
wife, also known by the name of Muller,
will be tried at the next term of Court.
Our local detectives certainly deserve
credit for ferreting out these thieves and .
recovering their plumber.
On Wednesday last the employees at
Risdon's machine works were startled by
loud crash, and upon investigation il
was found that the cupola fan had ex-
ploded and broken into thousand pieces.
The fan makes about 1900 revolutions
per minute. A hot box is supposed to
have been the cause of the accident.

hearts Of the American people," The

preacher, was embraced in the words
of the Apostle, "Honor all men, love
the brotherhood, fear God, honor the
king, the title king, meaning those
in authority" Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher in his Thanksgiving sermon
said, "the great national calamity Of
the year has brought forth good fruit.
1t has developed the universal sym
pathy of man. OF the present trial
at Washington he remarked, and
which was Endorsed with much ap-
plause, he hoped for the birth of bet
ter times as the result of the trial,

crimes and accomplish them, will be
