Grinding band organ while expos ed
to the full glare Of such a sun as we have
been blessed with this week, appears to us
to be the next thing to torment; yet an
Italian man with music in his soul, did
this thing one day this week, when the
pennies thrown him were 50 hot as to al
most take the skin from his fingers when
he picked them up.

We received call this week from the
young gentleman designated as 1.-THE Cherry
Hill barber" in some of our local news
papers a week or two ago, and he indig-
nantly denies the soft impeachment laid at
his door by said journals We have no
knowledge of the affair and can but make
public his positive denial of the charge
made against him, but, at the same time,
we have personal acquaintance with the
young man extending over a number of
years, even back to the time when he WAS
a lively youngster in short clothes, and
from or knowledge of him extending from
that time to his manhood DAYS, we can.
not but think that the reporter who penned
the account of the matters charged to him
must have been mistaken. He feels him
| self, and properly too, very much agrieyed
by this unwarranted attack upon him; as it
is liable not only to in,jure his standing in
the community, but also to extend to his
business affairs which is as a rule, touch
ing man in very tender place.
We are in receipt of communication
from the proprietor Of the Railroad Hotel on
the corner of North and High streets in this
town, stating that our report last week of
the attempted robbery of vessel captain
at that place was incorrect. We quote,
amending the orthegraphy: "The captain
lost no money here, and there was no fight
ing at all. He lost his pocket knife, but
| we found it out in the yard, and it was
given back to him." If the parties will
read our statement they will find that we
did not say tina: any money was lost,
neither did we say that there was fighting,
but simply that attempt was made to
pick the captains pocket, a thing that might
happe n anywhere, even In a church-and
that he hit the would bethel rap This
we stated upon the authority of an indi-
vldual who claims to have been present
when the occurrence took place. II it is
not fact he madea false statement, though
we have since heard the statement repeated
by several persons. We would prefer how
ever to believe that it is a misstatement as
we would be sorry to think that we had
