plncott TOOK load OF harrOws to Frank
Davis, on the Swedesboro turnpike His
horse, while standing in the yard, took fright
at the up train passing on the railroad and
breaking away from him ran up the turnpike
In the same direction with the train, and
actually kept abreast of it as far as the toll
gate, which was partly closed. Dashing
against the gate the frightened animal
knocked it from its hinges and kept on up
the road and was not stopped until he reached
William Davis, near ELEPHANTS mills Strange
to say no serious damage was done to horse
or wagon. This is the first run away we have
heard of along the turnpike caused by the
cars, notwithstanding the track runs in sight
of the road nearly the whole distance to
Swedesboro
The PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH has been newly
painted with dark green trimmings and the

built. A neat fence has been built in front,
nicely painted to correspond with the build
ing, the sidewalk newly graveled and curbed
the driveways repaired, and neat marble car
rage blocks supplied at the entrance on each
side, the whole presenting very neat ap-
pearance.
