One morning last week Constable Coles
had occasion to visit young farmer, whose
name we dare not tell, living not hundred
miles from his dwelling, on some business.
As he nearod the house he saw, a little dis
lance off. a rabbit sitting ON the ground and
informed his granger friend, who immedia-
ately got his double barrelled gun and start
ed out to secure game supper, accompanied
by the Constable. They found the rabbit
where Coles had first seen him and the
gunner took deliberate aim and let fly one
barrel, but bunny did not drop. .Give
him the other barrel said Constable
Coles. Bang went the other barrel, but
the rabbit moved not lie only sat and
stared at the shooter in blank establishment,
doubtless thinking position in front of
the gun and in easy range about the safest
place he conld find. This confidence
cost him dear. for Coles, seeing that his
neighbor was growing nervous, up with a
stone and with well directed aim, laid
poor bunny low The farmer wonders still
what allied his gun. We hope next time
he ventures out hunting, he will take
proper precautions Cor his safety. If some
exasperated rabbit should rush out upon
him. take his gun from him, and club him
over the head with if, il would be sad
thing to chronicle

4 Sad MiSllap,

Israel Conover, i'll the employ Of Smith
Hewitt, butcher, met with a distressing
accident on Wednesday afternoon, while
engaged i'll fixing the sausage cutter at the
the meat market. The cutter is operated
by horse power,a lever power being placed
outside, and connected with the cutter by
a band running through the floor. While
using the machine, the iron cog wheels, OF
which there are two working in each other.
at the side of the machine, became disar-
ranged. and Mr.. Conover stopped the ma
cline to adjust them. While SO engaged,
the horse attached to the power outside
started up, and Mr.. Conover's right hand
was drawn between the cog wheels, and
the fingers crushed one after the other, the
cogs cutting fearful gashcs lengthwise on
each finger. He was taken to the parlor
of the Woodstown House, and Drs. Gil
man and Allen examined his injuries and
found il necessary to amputate the fore
finger at the second joint, which was done
while the patient was under the influence
of ether and the other fingers stitched up.
after which Mr.. Conover was taken to his
home in Newtown. Only a few months
ago Mr. Conover was thrown from his
wagon while pedding beef and sustained
injuries which laid him up for several
weeks, and now lie bids fair to spend sew
eral more in enforced idleness and severe
suffering. He has the hearty sympathy OF
all in his misfortune. Mr.. Hewitt has Sc
cured am assistant to take his place until
he shall be able to get around again.

On Wednesday rumor gained currency
in Woodstown that the grave Of Howard
Sullivan. in the burying ground OF the
Zion NJ. +. church of Bushtown, had been
despoled ON Tuesday night, and the body
removed. Doubling the rumor, and re-
solving if possible to set it at rest, the
entire reportorial force of the MONITOR
sailed forth and after about four miles OF
travel. which was about double the neces-
sary distance. for want of knowledge of the
locality. reached the cemetery-a lonesome
place on 4 bleak and barren hillside, lying
a short distance from the road which leads
along the eastern boundary of the aims
house farm, and about a mile distant
from the Woodstown and Salem road.
Here. under the shadow of the cedars which
dotted the yard, upon the slope of the hill,
separate from the other graves, was the
resting place ofthe youthful murderer. A
high mound of fresh earth, neatly smoothed,
with a rough stone at the head, marked
the spot. Lying upon the grave, crossing
each other, were two long sticks or wands,
but whether thrown there by accident or
placed there by design was not apparent
No sign could be discovered that the grave
was not as left by the burial party ON Tues
dav afternoon AT house near by INCUR
nv was made as to the truth of the rumor
The man of whom we asked said that he
did not know of any such proceeding, and
did not think the grave had been disturbed
He said persons had been to the yard at a
late hour the night before, but what their
business was he could not tell. The re-
poriers. satisfied that the story was hoax,
wended their way homeward.

Contrary to a commonly accepted opin-
ion Howard Sullivan did not look like a
man capable of the dark crime of which he
was guilty. His countenanee showed in
telIigence and his personal appearance was
rather in his favor. Those who have
known him well, speak of him as having
been unusually smart. Certain 1t is that
from the hour of his crime to his death he
has displayed q GOODNESS, pluck. nerve, or
whatever 1t may be called, which is simply
wonderful, when We consider his youth
and ineXperienoe.
Sullivan 5 weight was 135 pounds.
The reporters of the city papers who
Were in Salem on Monday night, and who
failed to obtain passes to the prison, We're
betting money on the question of which of
them should send the most lies to their re-
spective papers, concerning the execution.
The full police force of Salem was on
duty, as also were the conStables of the
county, their services being required to
keep order in the streets during the scenes
taking place in the prison yard,
Too much credit cannot be awarded to
Sheriff Kelty and his able assistant, eX-
Sheriff Coles, for the excellent management
of the details of the execution. The whole
affair was beyond criticism. We are under
special obligation to both the gentlemen
named for fayors and eourtesies shown.
The rope used for the execution was fur
nished Sheriff Kelly by Edwin II. Filter x
Co. of Philada, who have supplied all
used for this purpose in Pennsylvania for
many years II came with the regular
hangman's knot already tied. and we under
stand that no payment will be received for
it.
The next execution at which the gallows
will be used win be the hanging of Biggs,
the wife murderer, in Philadelphia, ON JAN
18th 1885.
Relic hunters have beseiged Sheriff Kelly
for pieces of the rope used at the execution,
and already ii has been pretty well diStrih-
uted
As the crowd outside heard the noise of
the falling trap such remarks as 'Fhere
he goes y Good bye, Sullivan. THAT
finishes him. &c, were heard from differ
ent individuals.
Many of the newspapers seem To think 1t
was a matter Of choice with Sheriff Kelly
as to the number he would admit 10 the ex-
ecution. lie had no choice about it. The
law specified the number and he was liable
to be punished for exceeding it.
''Kiler Bill'' Reeves was conspicuous by
his absence.
