John G. Reeves, who has taken 4 deep
interest in the telephone enterprise, went
to Salem on Friday of last week. and again
on Monday, and on Monday night had Sc
cured $500 subscriptions, or one-half the
amount necessary to extend the line from
S%larptown to Salem. He reported much
interest in the matter at Salem. Up to
last night he had secured there s545 and
there is no doubt the line will he extended
to the county seat. The poles have all
been erected between Mullica Hill and
Woodstown. and number twenty-eight to
thirty to the mile. The last pole was put
up at the railroad bridge yesterday
afternoon. The work viii he delayed a
little while the right of way through the
Borough is being obtained 1t is hoped
our people may interpose no unreasonable
objections to the location of poles.

Words Fi.iY

Tlls Camden Courier ~discourses thusly
concerning the Assemblymen from Salem
and Gloucester counties:
Captain Whitaker, of Salem, is a bluff,
plain-sPoaen, big-hearted old salt, who no
mere fears a wordy encounter in the
House thar he does a hurricane at sea.
And that@at times-is saying not a little
for the hurricane. He never hesitates to
tell the house Just what he thinks of a bill
especially if it concerns pilots or naYi-
gators-and he always makes his language
emphatic. The captain is a great favorite
with the members. and has the knack of
securing fayors where almost any other
man would fail
Job Haines, the plain spoken, and able
member from Gloucester county, has de-
yeIoped facilities for legislation which
long ago placed him in the front rank of
the legislators. He has strong convictions
and like all such men he is bound to have
an influence. Friend Haines is always
found on the side of morality and good
legislation. and is eminently worthy Of
representing the good people ofold Glouees-
Ter.

The Rev. Mr. Bancroft. of Camden, n.
j., occupied the pulpit of the Daretown
Presbyterian church again on last sabbath,
making three consecutive oahbaths the
congregation has been benefited by his
ministrations. A meeting of the congrega-
ton who favor purchasing a pipe organ for
the use of The church, will be held ON Thurs
dav evening OF this week. at which time it
is proposed to appoint a committee to make
a purchase forthwith.
The new store at this place is nearly COM
pleted and then-if we expand the bound
aries enough Daretown will embrace
within her limits. two churches. two stores.
one blacksmith shop, one wheelwright
shop. one grist mill, one railroad station.

Fearing to wait to have it incorporated
before p%etitioning the Board of Freeholders
to have the County Buildings removed to
Daretown. we think is wen to apply at
once. lest in the meantime Woodstown
might succeed with her claim. And we
venture to suggest 20 the Board that ii
they should decide in favor of Daretown
the buildings might be moved on trucks.
The Rev. VIM. NJ. Taylor. OF Westtield,
Pa. who 50 aceeptably filed the pulpit o!
the Presbyterian church here some time in
February last, and whom we believed at

The EDITORS three daughters of tender
years, laid a trap for their n%nsuspecting
parent ON Tuesday morning. Invading the
sacred precincts OF his sanctum in n body
they made the startling statement that one
of the glasses Of the speetacles on the edi-
torial nose was cracked. Taking them off
to inspect the damage, hisears were greeted
with the merry cry from three little Threats
of april fool.' Taking them tenderly
but firmly by the ears, he led them, one by
one, to where a large Mt. Holly Insurance
Co. calendar adorned the wall, and called
their attention to the fact that April fools
were not yet in season, it being yet the
31st of March and after a fatherly %admonition
as to the danger of too much previousness,
sent them to their mother for further IN
struction and advancement.

and Austin's horse, becoming frightened,
wheeled suddenly around to the street, tip
ping the wagon up and throwing Mr..

bruised by the fall. but soon recovered and

Didn-t Like the Accommodations.

Henry Thomas, a young colored man
from the classic shades of B~ushtown, rem
dered himself peculiarly obnoxious and
disagreeable on Il streets on Saturday
afternoon, by swearing, indeccncy and gen
eral d~isorderly conduct, assaulting little
children and others. Geo. VI. Andrews, pro-
curing assistance. collared the young man
and lodged him in the lookup, where he
spent the night, Marshal Duffy assuming
charge of him ON his return home in the
evening. Next morning the Marshal went
down to the prison to see after his charge,
but Henry wasn't there. He had, by some
means, picked the paddock on the grated
door of his cell, and the open back door
and footprints in the snow showed that he
had preferred the pure air of freedom to

Last Saturday William Austin, living
near the Almshouse on the road to Salem,
was carting grain to the Harrisonville Mill.
While his team was standing at the mill,
they took fright and ran away, doing
the three and a half miles between that
place and Woodstown in fine style. Our
streets were crowded with teams in motion
and hitched in front of the stores, and
the runaway pair dashed through the town
creating considerable apprehension of dam
age. and conjecture as to whether Mr.. Aus
tin had been injured: and Harry L.ippincott
drove to Harrisonville after him. The
team reached Mr.. Austin's farm safely, and
without having done any damage.

Easter. SUNDAY.

Next Sunday. April 9Th, is Easter Sun
day. This festival of the church is of
Pagan origin, being the festival of the
goddess Ostara, who was the p%ersonifica-
ton of the morning or East, and also of
the opening spring or year, and was an
object Of worship by the ancient Saxons.
The christian church tool advantage of
this ancient festival and made it the occa-
sion of rejoicing over the resurrection Of
Christ, adopting many of the ancient GUS
toms and giving to them a christian signi-
ficance. The most characteristic of these
rites is the use of Easter eggs, which were
symbolieal of the Identification of nature
the springing forth of life in the spring,
and in the christian usage emblematic of
he resurrection and a future life. In the
ancient churches the festival lasted eight
days. and was made the occasion of great
rejoicing and hilafity leading sometimes to
excuses which Were atterward abolished.
The proper time for the observance of
Easter in the church has been the occasion
of much dispute. but in the latter part of
the sixteenth century. on the adoption of
the Gregorian calendar, the time was fixed
as it now stands, that is, Easter is always
oil the first Sunday after the full moon
which happens upon or next after the Dist
of March and if the full moon happens
upon a Sunday, the following Sunday is
Easter day. That the festival must come
on Sunday was settled by the Council Of
Nice CA. d. $3.50. the custom differing be-
fore that time, one branch of the church
maintaining that it should be observed on
the 14th day of the first Jewish moon, or
month Nisan. as equivalent to the Jewish
Passover, the other branch insisting that
the Sunday after the 18th day was proper,
as concentrating the Resurrection.
Easter Sunday may fall at any time be-
tween March 22d and April 25th inclusive,
but never earlier than the first date or
later than the last. Next year it will fall
on the 25th of April, which will be the
latest Easter in this century. The pleas
ant custom of sending cards with appropri-
ate emblems to friends at Easter is of recent
date and is becoming an almost universal
practice.
