PATENT VINEGAR.

whats the Ticker ?" inquired Cleve-
land reporter, as he walked in the Health
Office and espied two beer bottles full of a
pale yellow liquid sitting on the table in the
inner sanctum.
"Don't be alarmed; its only grocery
vinegar, warranted not to be intoxicating"
smilingly responded DIR. Ashmun. This
enc is genuine white wine vinegar, Or at
least the grocer 50 ys SO. Taste it. It isn't
strong enough to hurt you" The sensation
experienced was weak, puckering sui
phtric acid sort of o taste, no more like
white wine vinegar than tallow is like but

"That ia bad, but it isn't so bad as this"

subtle odor of varnish and tanbark com
oined stole upon the reporters bewildered
lenses.
vinegar, composed of rainwater, brown
sugar and white oak shavings, the largest
constituents being the water and the shay
ings. The white oak bark furnishes the
tanbark and varnish odor and gives quite a
puckery taste. Now, all this slop, while
not particularly deleterious in itself, is not
really conducive of good health, as may be
imagined. A gallon of the stuff is not
worth pint of real, sharp vinegar, as far as
picking power is concerned, and cucum-
Der put away in 1t is as sure to decay as that
water will run down hlll. But this is an
age of progress, and we are getting past the
old-fogy notions of our forefathers that vine
gnr was made out of apple juice"

New Time Table.

New Time Table.
The time established through the most
of the Eastern States and as far West as
Michigan is the true time of the seventy
fifth degree of Longitude West from
Greenwich, England, which is the second
degree of Longitude East OF Washington.
This line passes through Cumberland,
Gloucester, Camden and darlington
counties in South Jersey, crossing the
Delaware into Pennsylvania near Holiness
burg in Philadelphia county, thence
through Bucks county to point near
the centre of Bool's Island where it again
crosses into our county in the township
of Delaware, thence through the town
ship Of Kmgwood near It's centre, and
passing directly through Kingwood P. o.
and Baptisttown P. o. at point eight
miles West Of Pennington, thence through
the townships Of Alexandria, Union aud
Bethlehem passing Just East of Everltts-
town aud Bethlehem and West of Patten-
burg post offices. The line leaves Hun
terdon county at Valley Station aud en-
tiers Warren county passing through the
townships of Franklin, Washington, Ok
ford, Hope, Knowlton, Blairst, VA and
Pahaquarry, crossing the Delaware river
again just below Walpack pond, into
Pennsylvania. From this it will be OBJ
served that our friends in Kingwood,
Baptisttown, Everittstown, Bethlehem
and Pattenburg have by this neac time
their true time, whilst here at Fleming
ton being eight miles East of the line our
true time is 80 seconds faster than the
established time, which for all practical
purposes is near enough for the usual
affairs of life. We can congratulate our
selves that we are not In the condition of
the people on the Western limit of each
change who have to get up at what was
formerly six clock to eat a seven o'clock
breakfa fast. Let us hope the hotels and
boarding houses have changed their
schedule time for meals, to accommodate
them to the changed times. In nothing
that has lately occurred do we see the
power aud effect of railroads and the ac-
ton Of their magnates upon the public,
more than in this change of time. Out
of population of over fifty millions, we
venture to say that not more than five
hundred people excepting of course the
railroad managers and superintendent
were in any manner consulted as to the
effect upon the country of this change
which puts many people ahead nearly an
hour and others back. To those who,
being outdoors most of the time, consult
the Sun as their time piece, this change
will cause much trouble, for when the
Sun is in the South it should be twelve o.
clock whereas by standard time 1t is p.
NJ, on the Western limit of each chosen
meridian.

STOCKTON ITEMS.

A fight at Twiniug's Quarry occurred
I on Tuesday of last week, between boss
and young boy, who was learning stone
cutting. The boss went to the boy aud
accused him Of telling something about
4 him. The boy said that any person who
said that he had talked about the boss
told lie, when the boss, great big land
lubper, said you might as well tell me
that lie, and forthwith knocked the boy
down and as soon as he got up he knock
ed him down the second time. Then the
boy got hold Of stone and threw it at
the boss, when he knocked him down
again aud then went to kicking him with
heavy boots and would no doubt have
killed HIM il some of the men had not
told him stop, which he did, for he dare
not attack maa of his own size and
weight. the boy was pretty badly bruised
up. Word was sent TO Phillipsburg to
his father, who came down and had the
boy taken before Justice Wilson, aud q
warrant for the arrest of the bully being
granted, the Constable arrested him and
took him before the Justice Of Peace. In
the mean time the boy was sent to his
fathers home and at last accounts he was
bed-fast, on account of his being SO kick
ed and bruised What was done with the
case we have not yet learned, but we
think if there is any law that will take
hold of bully like the "boss" in ques.
ton it should be dealt gu, to him without
measure. 1t has always been considered
very unmanly for one man to kick another
when he is down, but OF all meanness, TO
kick boy when he is down, this beats.
Thanksgiving is past and gone and the
day was spent in great many different
ways. Very few did any work {; some
killed hogs good many drank beer and
after dinner some of them began to feel
as though they could whip all creation,
aud were bound TO do it. We saw one
poor fellow pull off his coat and throw 1t
down on the railroad and dare anyone to
touch it as signal for fight, but VIC did
not see anyone touch it, and fine thing
they did not for they might have got
bitten.
VIM. Hickman was arrested last week
by Constable Kugler on charge of
knocking boy down and then kicking
him for some trifling offence. He had a
hearing before Justice Wilson and was
bound over to appear at court this week.

Bank Examiner Adams, of Washington,
has completed his investigation of the
Railway National Bank, and states theie
was no occasion for any alarm, as instead
of any deficiency on the part of the Off
GERS the bank was indebted to the cashier
in small amount. The Examiner re-
commends that an assessment of 80 per
cent be made upon the stockholders, and
then, he thinks, the bank can speedily
resume business and be in greater favor

A first good result of the publication OF
the voluminous pension list is reported
from WATERFOWL, New York, where, nc.
cording to the dispatches, number OF
pensions have been drawn for the benefit
of pensioners who are dead. This kind
of fraud is easily detected and exposed in
small towns, but 1t is more difficult
matter in the large cities. The Grand
Army might help to ferret out the fraud

MAKE BELIEVE INDIANS. The latest
advertising dodge is practiced by a med
icine company which is doing a business
just outside this city. Its travelling CAPT
tai consists of snowy wagon, some
make believe Indians, and lot Of kcttles
and other cooking apparatus. An en-
canipment is formed on suburban lot,
where the Indians give a sort of circus
performance with aboriginal dances and
unnteIligible songs. Then, in full view
of the great crowd which has gathered,
they prepare the medicine. A iire is built,
over which is hung large kettle in which
they throw herbs and roots. While the
fire burns and the kettle boils, they dance
around it with incontations, each Indian
taking his turn at violently sturring the
contents of the kettle All this is to show
that the medicine is honestly made, and
that it contains no noxious ingredient.
When the mess is sufficiently stewed they
strain and bottle it, after which they sell
it to the happy bystanders at dollar a
bottle. AS the principal cost is tue ex-
pense of keeping up the show and trave-
ling from place to place, the profits are
large. 1t is common thing for The
sales to amount to 500 or even $50 on
a fair evening Bordent0aon Register.

The stryker Library.

.
We learn that the Stryker Library is
prosperous, SO far as the use of its books
is concerned, aud that it is gratifying to
notice that large numbers of children use
the library in studying their lessons, by
consulting books of reference, etc. This
is is certainly encouraging. Such child
rem are almost certain to grow up to be
intelligent and useful members of society
The number adIl.s who use the library is
also large, and taking it all in all, the Ii
brary is very beneficial institution.
1t is desired to increase its usefulness
by securing more funds. To do this
plan of occasional sociables has been de-
vsed, at each of which there will be given
pleasant literary entertainment. The
first of these will be held on Friday eve
ming of next week, at the Library rooms.
An admission fee Of ten cents will be
charged, and general invitation is given
to everybody to attend. Let everybody go.
