on Wedn esday was well attended by
the scholars and friends. They left on
the steamer Columbia for Chestnut
Grove, Andalusia, Pa, where they
spent the day in social enjoyment, re-
turning by the steamer on its evening
trip.
Last Friday evening about 8
o'clock meteor of unusual brilliancy
was seen to move through the northern
heavens and after short time appar-
emily fall to the earth. The sky was
brilliantly illuminated, and the fiery
visitor attracted great deal of atten-
ton.
We are informed that a party
of capitalists will rebuild the old oil
cloth factory. Lumber, bricks, etc.,
have already arrived, and in a few
days the carpenters will go to work
We are pleased to note this new enter
prise and hope it will be permanent
concern.
The steamer Republic will run an
excursion from Bristol to Cape May,
this Saturday morning, stopping at
Beverly. For some reason the excur-
sion was not advertised in the BANNER.
We presume they do not want the
Beverly people to know anything
about it.
MIR. B. F. Bishop, near Charleston.
has invented very useful contrivance
to be used as sun.protector. During
the hot days of this week he used it
while being exposed to the scorching
sun. Anyone calling ~ him on the
farm of Mr.. Edward Vansciver will be

Mrs Amelia Leconey, of River.
side, who was sent to Jail one day last
week on the charge of committing a
murderous assault on young man
named Pike, was released on bail the
next day. The 'Squires in Riverside
should not be so hasty in committing
people to Mount Holly Jail.
Beverly has tai ken start after
being in a dormant state the past few
years. There has been more houses
built in Beverly the past year than
in any two previous years, and by
all appearances we think are carpenters
will have all the work that they can
attend to for long time.
Great complaint is made of the
young men who congregate nightly in
front of the post Office near the time
of the arrival of the last mail, on ac-
count of blocking up the sidewalks, to
the great annoyance Of pedestrians.
The City Marshal should make visit
to the locality and interview the young
men.
The Newark Press thinks there is
no reason why Grand Jurymen, School
Trustees and other officers of the kind
should serve without pay-believing
that cheap labor is poor service. And
we would here say that we agree with
the Press, and believe that all men
acting in official capacity should be
paid for their labor.
The cornerstone of the new Acad-
envy of St. Joseph, in Bordentown, will
be laid on Sunday, August 2, by Right
Rev. Bishop M. j O'Farrell. who will
deliver an interesting discourse for the
occasion. All persons contributing
five dollars and upwards will have
their names written on parchment and
placed in the stone.
The members of the Reform Club
made complaint to the Passenger De.
partment of the P. r. R., for not be-
ing furnished with a special train from
Camden on Saturday, on the occasion
of their excursion to Ocean City. We
have been informed that the railroad
officials have made concessions and did
the right things by the club.

Charles Foulks, former resident
of Bordentown, who was connected
with a gambling saloon at Hot Springs,
was killed recently during
a promiscuous shooting in the saloon.
While resident of this county he was
said to have been one of the most
notorious gamblers and desperadoes
that ever lived in the community.
"A new swindle is on the road, and
is thus described: Two men call on
farmer and represent themselves to be
photographers. They agree to furnish
the farmer with photograph of his
house for fifty cents. The farmer signs
an agreement to receive the photograph
at the price named, which agreement
turns up in good time as promissory
