REMARKABLE REVIVAL has been in pro-
gress for six weeks past in the Elmer M. E.
church. Over sixty have professed CONVEX
sion.
WILLIAM WLoox, son of Rev. Julius Will
cox, of Elmer, has been very unfortunate
He was employed on the West Jersey railroad,
and on November 18th last was run over and
badly injured while coupling cars at Camden.
He had recovered sufficiently to resume work
on the 18th instant, and three hours after
going on duty was again run over by freight
car and had his left thigh broken in two
places.
AMONG THE INDICATIONS of coming spring
the gay and festive bicycle is making its ap-
pearance. Allen T. Lewis has gone to and
from his school at Wing lane all winter on
his Wheel through all kinds of weather and
over all kinds of roads, except when the snow
was deep.
Several of our young men contemplate
purchasing the vehicles this spring, and one
or two tricycles may possibly come to town.
ALwARD W. H1LLMAN our bank messenger,
made his appearance on our street last week
with well-flled basket, from which he dis
tributed literally among our business men
bundles of checks, but unfortunately they
were like spent cartridges, and having been
used once were no good. They were the
cancelled checks of the past year, and those
customers of the bank who have not received
theirs are requested to call at the bank and
get them.
AS WE GO TO PRESS we learn of the death of
George Avis, of Daretown, for a number of
years proprietor of Avis mill at that place.
On THURSDAY, Mr.. Sullivan, the school
teacher at Coles Mill had occasion to chas-
tise or correct an unruly boy. The same
afternoon the father, accompanied by a
friend and his two boys, visited the school to
clean out the schoolmaster. A blow aimed
by the irate parent was parted, and Mr.. Sui
Ivan Ono relative, by the way, to John L.
Sullivan) landed his opponent on the floor.
The wood-box was resorted to by the attack
ing party, who tried to mash up Mr.. S. with
oak clubs. By the skillful use of two lively
lunches of fves, the intrepid young man
gave the whole party the grand bounce,
emptied the school-house, and retired in
good order. The sequel to this interesting
romance will be written in the records of the
criminal court at Woodbury.. Gloucester Co.
Democrat.
| AT HIS RESIDENCE near Mullica Hill, Collins
/ A. Hazelton and wife and their five children
have all been sick with scarlet fever. The
youngest, about two years old, died a short
time since, but the remainder of the family
are recovering.
MICHAEL ALLEN, who has for several years,
during the illness of his father, Joseph r.
Allen, lately deceased, faithfully managed
his large estate, has been appointed admins
traitor and entered on the discharge of his
duties.
"While the Bartholdi statue gentlemen are
setting aside the Lords day. in the name of
liberty, in America, the people of continental
Europe are waking up to the importance of a
day of rest" Thus far its motto is a failure.
Liberty enlightening the world" with its
torch of fame is shedding moral darkness
over our goodly land, and robbing us of our
quiet Sabbaths. If this is the liberty it
means, then our neighbor France has sent us
curse rather than a blessing, even though
the good people 60 right from church to the
art gallery. Perhaps it would be well to have
an art par5Or attached to the churches, thus
saving this puplic display Of li6eral0 aoi re-
gard to the Lords day. A member of the +" Wa
ter Color Art Association, who was understood
to haye said that this association could not
er1li5it on the Sabbath, thought it wise to
publish a card over his own signature cor
recting the statement, and saying that he was
in favor of Sunday openings. Surely the
good old Scotch name of Smil1ie should have
been proof against such an avowal. 'Be not
overcome of evil, but overcome evil with
good"
OLD BUT GooD.-An old negro waiter who
met Governor Vance in a hotel in Philadel-
phia was good theologian. The governor
had known him "down south" and, having
made few pleasant remarks, began to twit
him about religious matters. 'Well, now,
Joe" said the governor, "do you really be-
lieve in this election by God, that you speak
of?n '"Deed do, Massa Vance, said the
negro, seriously, with shake of the head.
