PICKING UP our valued exchange, the South
jersegqaon, this week, we thought we no.
ticed something unusual and upon examina-
ton discovered that our spicy contemporary
had outgrown its clothes and was larger by a
column to the page than formerly. We con-
graduate the S. H. While we think of it we
would ask the S. H., What is an ice cooler?
A CURIOUS omission in the act concerning
roads was brought to light at the May term of
Salem courts on an application made by
Abram Cochran, Esq, on behalf of petition
ers for a new road in Upper Pittsgrove. The
act authorizes the court to appoint six sur
veyors of the highways of the townships in
which the road is to be laid and as each
arises where the six surveyors are to come
from when the road is to be laid in but one
township. The point was raised by M. P.
Grey, Esq, in opposition to the road, and
Judge Reed holds the case under advisement.
WE CALL attention to the change of Mas
sey's advertisement this week.

pointment of Democrat to the position of
county superintendent of public instruction

A FARMER living few miles out of Elmer,
having eight persons in his family, consumed
fifty quarts of strawberries from Saturday

p0ndent in Salem Standard Pears like he

anyhow.
A STOP SHOULD be put to the playing of
base ball in the public streets or some inof-
fensive traveller will have his teeth knocked
down his throat by foul ball A broken
window now aud then is so small thing that
most people enjoy it, but persons driving
through the borough ought not to be put in
bodily fear in order that few boys should
amuse themselves by an expenditure of mus
cular energy, which would accomplish much
more worthy results if expended at their
mothers woodpiles.
Two MEMENToEs of the sad accident on the
Camden and Atlantic railroad were received
through our post Office on Monday, in the
shape of postal card mailed at Williams
town, addressed to Wm S. Goforth, and a
letter from Atlantic City addressed to VIM. T.
Fltcraft. Both were in the mail car, and
were covered with the dirt and ashes of the
ruins. The postal card was still damp (prob-
ably from the escaping steam) when received
and the stamp had been steamed from off the
envelope.
