our people little, during the heat of the
day. Everything is dull in our village
when the sun is shining with all its power.
The school children are wishing for va
cation and it is certainly proper for them
to have the same, very soon. Confining
| like the one we have in our district, even
for few hours of the day, at the present
time Of the year and requiring them to
study, is unhealthy and certainly bene-
fits the child as regards learning, a very
little, indeed July and August should
be enjoyed by them in the fresh, open air.
Your correspondent and a young friend
had the extreme pleasure of making our
mutual friend, Mr.. Charles Nightingale,
of Changewater, N. j., a short visit of a
few hours. on Sunday last. Mr.. Nightin-
gallo was found in fine spirits and the en-
joyment of good health, at his boarding
place at Freebooter Hills, near Change
water, where he is conveniently and conf
fortably situated, due chiefly to the hos
pitality and kindness of Mr.. Hill and
family. Mr.. N. expects to close school
this week, to enjoy rest and vacation of
a couple of months duration.
A number of our young people together
with Pop" Whom it gave much pleasure
to accompany took it into their heads
last Saturday morning to enjoy good,
jolly time on fishing excursion and so
with team attached to a suitable carryall
and themselves com fortably seated in 1t,
accompanied with the necessary number
of fishing lines and good supply OF
sweet things for dinner, sped away with
happy smiles from our village in the di-
rection of Three Bridges, more intent up
on having a good time than of catching
many fish. The banks of the Neshanc
were reached in due time and after caring
properly for the team, &C., all crossed in
boat to an island in the stream and in
a few minutes the lines were unwound
and the corks soon seen bobbing in the
water. Hardly had all become quiet be-
fore sudden splash was heard and one
of our fair maidens, drew from the water,
the first fish. Soon others followed with
the same luck and fish after fish were lain
on the bank. A feeling of emptiness soon
told all that dinner would be very ac-
ceptabe. Therefore all were boated TO
the opposite shore where the cloth was
spread and the various articles of diet ar
ranged thereon. The next thing visible
was the flying visits of the hand to the
mouth every few seconds of time. Those
that failed to catch fish, did not suffer
hunger for being unable to get ''bites' at
the table, for to say that all did justice
with these palatable things, would feebly
express the truth Of of it. They threat
ened' and carried into execution" COM
pletely the ''devouring" process. After
fish in the afternoon and few hours of
pleasure, all repaired to and seated them
selves in the carryall and the horses head
ed toward Pennington, and from thence
home, all feeling entirely satisfied with
the happy time spent along the Neshanic.
Many thanks are due Mr.. Higgins living
near Three Bridges, who accorded the
young people, very cordially, the use of his
barn for the horses and of his door yard
for Speeding dinner and many ether con
veniences enjoyed by them. PoP.
