The success and popularity Of postal

The oyster bill, now provoking so
much discussion in South jersey, is
aimed at a foreign corporation and in
the event of its becoming a,lav will fall
wine of its mark. The company in
question has not only leased the prop
erty of the shore owners but has OBJ
tained a lease of the Riparian Commits.
sioRers Of all Of the land belonging to
the State covered by their oyster beds.
Il is patent therefore to any one whS
will for 4 moment consider the subject
that the Legislature has ne more CON
troll over the territory thus occupied by
the company than it could have over a
farm leased by it. Moreover this COM
pany has taken the oysters in
Delaware Bay in the pursuit of their
business, but brought their own oysters
from other waters, planted them in
the spring, and took them Jap in the
fall. The bill is a mischievous one al
together and will injure its advocates
more than those whose interests it is
intended TO impair. We trust the Leg
islatme will see the wisdom Of defeat
ing it.-W. j. Press.

citation of his work, which has been
shown in 50 many ways; but the coun-

and will be the more willing that he
should be retired in the army if that
act shall be regarded as retiring him

and children blessed the union. Then
came domestic differences, He made
accusations which no person WHO
knows her believes to be true and she
retorted in kind. lie began a suit for
divorce and she Ietaliatcd with a cross
suit which is now being tried, with
everything in favor Of Mrs. Non.ell de-
spite the testimony of some young
SpaniardS who swore that they saw II
certain gallant captain Of our Mer-
chant marine paying her marked at
tention. But at the time this act is
said tolIave taken place Mrs. Nontell
it has been shown was at her mothers
home in Connecticut, wifi her she had
fed to escape the brutality Of her jsal-
Gus husband. The sympathies of the
com nunity are wholly with the lady.
Breach Of promise cases are always
full OF interest and Lillian Degnan's
suit for $4,000 against Frank De Va x

was the magnet which drew crowds to

oyster men mostly live, the feeling is

that 1.-THE aggregate tonnage of the

$500 Or nearly ons-haif, is owned In
