and news about old murders, seem to be
the order Of She day in New Jersey news
paper circles. A day or two before Christ
mas one of the bloodiest murders ever per-
petrated in the State was committed in
Bergen county village near the Rockland
county line. "A sharp-eyed and sharp-wit-
ted newsboy didn't allow the perpetrator Of
that villiany to be at large long, and he is
now lodged safely in the jail at Hacken-
sack, waiting for Judge Dixon to hang the
moose around his neck. Meantime, no Wig
ilant-eyed newsboys have got to work on
the Paullin and Gething murder cases, and
they bid fair to go down in history among
the unsolved mysteries Of the age.
| Mrs. Wood, who pleaded for the delega-
| ton Of ladies from Waverly Church with
| the Board of Aldermen the other evening
| in opposition to the granting Of a license to
Henckels Pavilion, should make some Of
those fly newspaper reporters suffer for
| their levity. Mrs. Wood is highly re-
spectacle, matronly looking lady, consid-
erably advanced in years, and the World
man, who wrote her up as charming young
widow, q brilliant brunette with flashing
| eyes, must have been poking fun at her
gray hairs, her specialized optics, and
| Quaker-fashioned bonnet. He could have
had no other purpose in misdescribing her
than that of holding her up to the ridicule
Of her neighbors, and that comes within
the definition of newspaper libel. The
charming young brunette in widows weeds,
with flashing eyes and all that kind of
thing, sat on the bench in the lobby, but
said nothing.
The weather of the past two weeks has
been something phenomenal, even for this
varied climate of ours. We have had rain,
snow and sleet; the thermometer has
ranged from zero to the melting mood, and
people who have not yet been able to
please themselves in all the varying tenn
| peratures should go off into the woods and
set up a weather bureau of their own,
But most people will be glad when the
weather gets down to some settled condi-
ton and stays there. The TATTLER is in
the condition of the boy who wrote the
composition on the ssseasons." '.Soms
people" said he, prefer pepper; some
like salt, and some vinegar; but as for me-
give mo liberty or give me DEATH" That's
our CASE We don't care snap what the
! weather is-only let it be something defn
J, tie.
Hugh F. McDermott, who is know
throughout the land as poet of softes
} verse, aud literary critic OF taste ant
genius, sends us copy of the first nun
Der of the New York Citizen, the publica
ton of which he has just commenced, OF
Lafayette Place. It is beautifully printed
in large, bold, clear type. He describes i
as a journal of the Day-a weekly news
paper devoted to the good government c
the Metropolis, racy of the times, and EN-
} bracing literature, the drama, art, and tn,
world of fashion, within its field of re
search and criticism. Last week, the stor,
of CDR. Mcbride" by G. .Sala, was amonI
its attractions. This week he begins tn,
publication of story of New York Society
Cyril Thornton is its author, and So
i Pyrrhic Victory is its title. The new
venture will deserve the success it is bount
to achieve.
The Newark Sunday Call sets Hon. Jos
eph d. Bedle, Justice of the Suprem,
Court, up in opposition to Hon. Joseph D
Bedle, counsel of the Delaware, Lackawan
ma & Western Railroad Company, en- tn,
question of the irrepealability of the con
tract that that soulless corporation claims t.
hold against che State. In the June term
1874, the Call says, Justice Bedle concurret
in Judge Depue's opinion that the Road
contract with the State was not irrepeala
ble Before the State Board of Assessors
few days ago, he i9kisted that it is ire
pealable. The Call must re! forget that
as loyal officer Of the courts, ex-governor
Bedle bows to the Judgment of the highes
Bench in the land on the subject. Tn,
Cal must not forget either that circum
stances alter cases.
