On Monday morning the rain fell In
torrents upon the deep snow and soon
flooded the roads and footaptha About
ten O'Clock the wind shifted to south
east and many began tofearof the river
swelling beyond its limits. 1t was soon
realized for about Is minutes before
u O'Clock the water began to pour over
the embankment near the railroad de-
pot and over the lower part of French's
grove. Soon the grounds near the de-
pot and adjourning the railroad were
flooded. Main street below the railroad
was covered to the depth of three or
four inches. As one stood near the
edge of the river vast sea OF ice and
water could be seen surging up the
river. The steamboat wharf neal shore
~ss covered. In parts of the town the
water came into the houses and the in
habitnnt were compelled to move out.
1t rose about three feet above ordinary
tide. 1t eQualled the food eight years
AGO and some thought it would surpass
it, Is it VAS rumored that it would not
be high water until 2 o'clock, but about
l O'Clock the tide turned. The mead
o~s both above and below Penassrove
were flooded. But small damage was
done to the banks as they were frozen 50
the wster did pos cut them. @a,By We'd
nesday the water had nearly all run out.

Scraps of The Early History
Of Salem County.
BoUNDERY QUESTION AND FISHING
RIGHTS.

Between the State Of New Jersey
ard Delaware there exist conflicting
claims OF jurisdiction over a portion OF
the Delaware opposite the County OF
Salem. On the part of New Jersey the
center thread of the river, is Gained
as the boundary; while Delaware claims
Jurisdiction to luw-water mark on The
eastern shore, including, of course, the
the right to control and regulate the
fisheries in the entire width of the
river. 1t is not proposed to enter irto
A discussion of the legal questions which
these adverse claims involve, but simp-
~ to give a brief recital OF the orlgl-
nal titles on which they are based.
On the 18th of March, 1864, King
Charles granted to the Duke Of York,
by patent. ''all lands from the west
side of the Connecticut to the east side
of Delaware Bay" June oath of the
same year the Duke of York conveyed
to Berkeley and Carteret that portion
of the land called New Jersey from the
west of Long Island to the Delaware
Bay.
On the 9th of August 1852, the Duke
of Y ork, by q deed, confirmed to the
trustees in whom The title Was then
vested the moiety Of the same territory
sand also the free use OF all bays, riy-
ers, and waters leading into or lying
between the said premises, or any OF
them, in the said pats ofAmerica, Tor
navigation, freet rsde, fishing OF other
wise.
On the 24th Of August, 1882, The Duke
of York decided ito William Penn his
heirs aud assiges, forever, all the town
of New Castle, Otherwise called Gels-
ware, and all tracts Of land lying with
in the compass or circle OF twelve

the said river, aud the soil thereof lying
north of southermost part OF said cit
Gle of twelve miles about said town, aud
all the rights, titles interests, powers,
and property, claim, or dealsnd OF th'
Duke in or to the same"
On the 23nd OF March 1692-o3, shout
seven months later than the date OF b
above, Charles the Second con seyed, by
patent, to tho Duke Of York the same
premises that the Duke had conveyed
to William Penn describing them as
all that tract Of land lying within the
compass of q circle of twelve miles
about the said town, situate, lying and

How 10 Paint the Town Black.

If you wish TO keep u town from
thriving, don't put up any more build
ings than you can,conveniently occupy
yourselves. If you should accidentally
have an empty dwelling, and any one
wants to rent it, ask him about three
times the actual value for it. Demand
q SuYLoCK price for every spot of
ground God has given you stewardship
over. Turn a cold shoulder TO every.
mechanic or business nan seeking a
house among you. Look at every new
conner with a scowl. Run down the
work Of every new workman, Go
abroad for wares rather than trade
with those who seek to do BUSH
ness 10 your midst. Fail to adver-
tise or in any way support your paper,
so that the people abroad may not
know any business is going on III your
town or not. Wrap yourselves up with
yourselves, and cover yourselves up
with u coat Of imperyious seltishress.
There is no more effectuai way to re-
tard the growth of atown than actions
like these enumerated, and there are
people in every town who are pursuing

certificates. That IL was not pre-
pared, and is not yet prepared, to
carry out the law, is the secret of
the whole trouble. If Messrs. Bishop
& Co.-whom We shall allow for the
present to defend themsolves-did
impose upon the Government and
violate the terms Of their contract,
rs alleged, the Adrertiser itself ac-
knowledges it was because the Gov
ernment did not adhere to the law in
making its bargain with that firm.
As for the charges Of conspiracy
freely hurled at the business commu-
nifty by our contemporary, we can
give one instance TO show how unjust
such reflections may be. One of the
firms most pointedly assailed by that
paper has shipped $4,000 in gold
coin, since the law came in force,
for distribution among the planta-
tions of three of the other Islands.
That does not look like holding
reserves of gold secretly accumu-
lated" but rather like a sincere
effort to expedite the consummation
of the gold standard.

the CURRENCY DIFFICULTY.

This morning the advertiser at
tempts, in several columns, to vindi-
cate the Governments course on the
currency matter. Itwould make it ap-
pear that the Chamber of Commerce
is band of conspirators, headed by
Messrs. Bishop & Co. A proposal
submitted to the Government some
time ago by the Chamber of Com
merce, ostensibly for the purpose of
bringing about smooth solution of
difficulties in the way of the gold
standard, our contemporary charac-
terizes as carrying in it sufficient
viciousness and illegality to be re-
jected at sight. Messrs. Bishop d
Co. are charged with having broken
faith with the Government, in failing
to deliver up gold that they had re-
ceived for silver undertaken to be
converted by them. The leading
business firms of the city are repre-
sented as piling up gold reserves in
their vaults at the expense of the
community and to the embarrassment
of the Government.
If the advertiser proved that in
the present unsatisfactory position
Of currency matters the Government
was the injured party it is repre-
sented to be; that it had done all it
could to carry out the provisions of
the Act, but had failed of success on
account of having been hampered by
unscrupulous, selfish and partisan
operations on the part of several
financial and mercantile firms, we
should be heartily ashamed of having
laid the blame of the existing state
of affairs upon the Government.
After all that has been said, how
ever, the simple fact seems to re.
main, that, if the Government had
faithfully carried out the Currency
Act of 1884, it would have placed
itself beyond the power of bankers
and everybody else to injure it, and
have saved the community from the
injurious, not to say disastrous, con,
fusion that has come to prevail. The
Act prescribed the redemption Of
silver certificates, of not less demo,
mination than twenty dollars, in gold
coin of the United States on the firs'
OF December last. 1t was the duty
Of the Government TO have been pre-
pared on that date to so redeem sucl
