The Sabbath School connected with the
Presbyterian Church of our village, to-
gether with the church congregation, will
hold picnic on Packers Island, beyond
Pennington, Friday of this week. The
school hope for a pleasant day. and in
view of such, anticipate jolly time to-
gether.
A jolly crowd of the younger genera
ton of Our village, enjoyed fishing ex-
oursion last Friday. Judging from the
manner in which they started and the
pleasing smiles that were seen on their
faces the next morning, we feel assured
in saying that they spent very pleasant
and happy day.
D. B. Kirkpatrick, Thomas Farley and
o. l. Blackwell, Esq, Of our village, visit
ed Ocean Co., for a couple of days, last
week, and engaged in the attractive sport
of fishing. On Friday they were out in a
yacht for about six hours and caught
nearly 800 pounds of wheat fish. They
are much elated over their fine success.
A jury trial took place at our hotel
last Tuesday afternoon, before Justice
Holcombe, of our village. Oliver Kugler,
of Three Bridges, brought suit against
John Horn, Esq, of this vicinity, for the
payment of a sum due him for corn
pillow, which he claimed Horn purchased
of him some time ago, but which Horn
claimed he received on trial, with the
agreement that he would keep the same
and pay Kugler a stated price, provided
the pillow should suit him. Horn swore
that the pillow was not in working order
and was unfit for use and therefore he did
not buy it. The matter was considerably
mixed up and complicated, and the jury
failed to arrive at a verdict and were dis
charged. o. l. Blackwell, of our village,
was counsel for plaintiff and j. N. Voor-
hees, Esq, of Pennington, appeared for
the defendant. We understand that the
matter was compromised by the parties
afterwards.
