the practice of allowing horses 10 stand
in the street becomes more dangerous,
as the animals are growing FESTIVE with
the approach of Winter weather. The
custom is contrary to ordinary pru-
dence,, because 1t is always attended
with danger, yet is quite prevalent.

The carriage factory lately built
and OCCUPIED BY John Lamb near Mt.
Laurel was completely destroyed by
fire on Tuesday morning. Mr.. Lamb
says he was aroused early in the even
ing by the barking of his dogs. At
his dogs again awoke him
and supposing something to be wrong
he sprang from his bed and listened
from the window of his chamber, but
seeing nothing to cause the dogs to
bark he again retired. At two o'clock
in the morning he was again aroused
and jumping from his bed he saw his
factory in q blaze. The FIRE had al
ready gained Roadway and the heat
was so intense that the building could
not be entered. All the tapls, together
with one light carriage, oneSopen buggy
and $50 worth of carriage sundries
were consumed.
DEATH UNDER SAD CIRcUMsTAN-
cEs.-Ida, daughter of David Major,
living between Rancocas and Burling-
ton died on last Wednesday week,
under peculiar circumstances, causing
considerable comment in the neighbor-
hood, For some months Ida's mother
has suspicioned that she was in deli
cate condition, but when questioned
closely about it she always emphatical-
ly denied the imputation. On We'd
nesday morning she arose early and
complained of severe distress and still
denied her condition. She grew worse
and was compelled to return to bed.
Mrs. Major sent her husband for
physician and while he was absent a
healthy-looking, fully developed child
was born. Nothing whatever was done
for her all this time, and her father re-
turned later in the day without sum-
moning doctor. A neighbor was then
called in who realized the girls pitiful
condition and at once seen that she
was dying. An effort was then made
TO over come the neglect of the past
few hours, but it was too late and in a
little while she died. The child bore
every indication of having been born
alive, but this cannot be positively
asserted, as it was dead when found.
Ida was about Is years old, and mem.
bers of the family think they know
who caused her ruin and sad death
and that it is not member of the
family. The report that her father
and mother are cousins is untrue. The
direct cause Of death was post-partum
hemorrhage.-Nescs
Sunday was the day setapart ages
ago for the second coming Of the Savior
and the end of the world. Those who
held this belief are called Millerites,
seceders from the Second Adventists,
who simply believed that the end is near
at hand. Miller set the time for 843,
but after his failure the belief was
abandoned. Rev. Mr.. Sergisson, an
Adventist preacher of Philadelphia, in
an interview with asIsmes reporter,
stated the following interesting facts !:
"After Miller's failure a woman
named Helen g. bite declared that
the Lord had appeared to her jim a
vision and told her that all who wor-
shipped on the first day of the week
would be lost, but those who set aside
the seventh would be saved. This was
the origin ofthe Seventh Day Baptists.
