The Republican torehligbt parade on
Saturday night was a creditablc affair. The
illumination and decorations were pretty
general, even those Of other political par
ties good-naturedly lighting up their houses
and contributing to the hilarity of the oc-
casion. The various clubs presented It good
appearance, but the marching could not be
called very good. half-doZen different
bands each playing on their own hook are
not calculated to cause precision in step.
Large crowds gathered on the streets to
see the parade. Among other fine display
in the way of illumination and decorations,
the dwellings of Mrs. Isabella McAllster,
and Mrs. Smith Hewitt were particularly
noticeable, the decorations at the latter
place being the work of Mrs Wilmer Bar
Der and Miss Nell Johnson. An amusing
incident took placeup town i'll front of
the residence of Mr.. William L. Fit
craft who is well known as an ar
dent st. John man. He had his house lit
up, and i'll his front window had portraits
of st. John and Daniel. A party passing
by mistook the pictures for those of the
Republican candidates, and were loud in
their admiration Of the general effect, until
one of them, looking a little close, read the
name under one of the portraits. '.My
Godr' he exclaimed, cts st. John and
Daniel" and the party beat hasty retreat
The procession, however, gave the cold
water candidates three cheers as they pas
sed. AT the close of the parade the differ
ent clubs were RECALLED with the usual treat
of hot coffee and sandwiches, after which
they departed for their homes, the lights
were eXtinguished, the decorations taken
down, and the staid old town resumed the
the primeval condition of its former reeti-
tude

Temperance Rally in Auburn.

A letter received too late for last week $
issue, gives an account Of Prohibition
meeting held in Auburn on Tuesday of last
week. which was addressed by Rev. G. f.
Garrison, of Swedesboro: Mr. Garrison
gave a very solid, true Prohibition talk,
giving statistics and delying any man pres
ent to deny them. lie showed how the old
parties had made promises to the Prohibit
ton party only to be broken repeatedly and
that the only hope of ever being successful
lay in obeying the command of Him who
said, BE We separate; therefore, the Prohi-
bition ticket had been put in the field, as
a separate ticket with God and the right at
the head of it. Nearly a unanimous vote
of thanks was extended to Mr.. Garrison. :

Rev.G Morgan Hills of Burlington, Dean.
Rev. l.. X. Lewis, of Hammonton, de-

delivered an able sermon on the mission
of the Church of England in the Provence
of New Jersey This was the beginning
of the three days services to commemorate
the centennial of this Church. Rev. r. ID.
Hoskins, the present rector, on Wednes-

of the last century it had much greater
number of communicates. The Church is

against bribery at elections Pierce Croft,
Of Alloway, was the first victim, whom
they dragged to this city, without even
first obtaining a warrant, charging him
with offering So for vote. The only fact
proven. however, was that they had mai
treated him in shameful manner, and
were unable to furnish any evidence OF his
guilt. and he was released. Squire Bill
derback, of this city, was also arrested last
evening. upon complaint of Democrat,
who suspected him of influencing votes IN
