TIE natives are not the only strange things
in Cape May county. 1t has been peculiar
land ever since Capt. Mey first set foot on it,
point long before New England was fairly
started At one time all the county was
owned by one man named Cox, who got
tired of his bargain and returned to England
leaving an agent at Perth Amboy to attend
81 his interests. Quakers had purchased n
largo part Of the land and settled upon il.
They wished to secure tho rest to be hell as
common property for each community. One
OF tie brothers named Spicer was deputed to
go to Amboy aud make the purchase.
S'picer made the long trip and returned
safely, but with the decd made out in his
own name instead of in that of the commuu-
tiles. 1t was subsequently discovered that
Spicer had got CoX's agent drunk, and had
then induced him to sell the land to himself
for trihing consideration.
When Spicer died he loft much of the land
that remained unsold to the churches in the
three townships. He also bequeathed to the
people Of the county, to be enjoyed in com
mon forever, the shell and floating fish
privileges that is the right to fish and
eaten oysters and clans in the waters of tho
county. Although the state long since laid
| successful claim to the ownership of all these
lands under tidewater, it has by successive
acts of the legislature guaranteed to the peo-
| pie of the county for various terms of years
the rights granted by the Spicer will.

now held under deeds from this Spicer and

The Conflict.

Between disease and health is often
brief and fatal. 1t is better to be pro-
vided with cheap and simple remedies for
such common disorders as coughs, colds,
&c, than to run the risk of contracting a
fatal disease through neglect. DR.. WIN.
Halls Balsam is sure and safe remedy
for all diseases of the lungs and chest.
If taken in season it Is terrible disease,
Consumption. It has been known and
used for many years, and it is no exag-
geration to say that it is the best remedy
in the world for Coughs &c.
