Hunterdon's $40, 900 Loss.


The monthly meeting of Hunterdon' S
Board of Freeholders was held at the
Court House last Wednesday. Various
bills to the amount of SO, 231 .02 were pre-
sented and ordered paid.
The $4,000 that was appropriated in
May as payment on the county debt, was
at this meeting placed to the appropria-
ton to build bridges. All report serious
damages by the late rain, but the worst
were in Franklin, estimated at 800, 900 +;
Clinton, $4,000; High Bridge, 1000 ;
Lebanon, 1900 Raritan, $4,000 Read
ington, $4,000, and Union $1,000. The
estimate in the county will reach $40, 600.
The Board viewed the bridge at Rockfel-
lows Mills, and decided to build struc-
ture upon the present abutments.
The Asylum Committee reported a
visit to the Morris Plains Asylum, stat
ing that the sixty-nine inmates from
Hunterdon county were being we'll cared
for, and that several of them were rapidly
recovering.
On Friday last the Freeholders met in
Union and Franklin township to view
five bridges, and on Tuesday of this week
they meet on bridge business in Franklin
and Clinton townships. 1t is evident
that the Board will have plenty to do for
some time to come.
A resolution was adopted by the Board
at the Wednesday meeting to the effect
that all contract work must hereafter be
advertised by the committee in charge

People in this county had better keep
indoors at nights, after reading the fol.
lowing, which we copy for the Fleming
ton Democrat Advertiser Thursday af-
ternoon of last week, while Hamilton
Gary, of Stover's Mills, was cutting wood
in the woods belonging to Judah Barton,
near Pennington junction, he heard a
peculiar noise, and, on looking around,
saw large animal coming directly toward
him. 1t came up to the log which he was
cutting and stood on it's hind feet as il to
take view of the situation of things, and
then started slowly through the woods.
Mr.. Gary by this time was thoroughly
frightened, and started, hat in hand, for
the mill, distance of quarter of mile.
Arriving at the mill, almost out of breath,
he told his story to several, who joined in
band well equipped with artillery, and
with Mr.. Gary in command started for the
woods to hunt down the beast. Arriving
at the woods the company separated,
some going along the river, others kept
over the brow of the hill, while Mr.. Gary
started for an old tree top that lay in the
center of the woods. On reaching il the
animal sprang o1t, when Mr.. Gary took
deliberate aim and fred The shot took
effect, but the animal succeeded in get
ting to field of corn and escaped
What it was is mystery, as it has not
since been seen. Its hair was long and
of jet black, and when standing on its
hind feet it was taller than Mr.. Gary.
Its footprints in the mud were larger
than the palm of mans hand, and it
had three nails on each foot, which mea-
sured in the mud one inch and quarter.

From this time on Marshall was the vic.
tim of petty prosecutions. Many believed
that he knew of the whereabouts of valu-
able gold mines, and he was watched
closely and badgered because he did not
give information. Robbed of his proper
ty, he became a prospector, but never
with great success. The discovery which
brought fortunes to thousands, and made
California great State, proved his finan-
cial ruin, and subjected him to endless in
suits and injuries. He became involved
in litigation as to the title of his land pur-
chased in 1916 or 1S47, and finally lost
it all.
A few years ago Mr.. Marshall visit

For months we have feared that the

and take rest.
Times have been hard and almost ev-
cry business has suffered more or less,
many to the extent of absolute failure.
Before we fail utterly, We choose
to stop-at least for a season, or until
the good times which were to have
arrove have arrivcn.
Subscribers are dilatory and dclin-
quent and few TO u hill. Merchants
have fought shy of the newspapers for
the past eighteen months; and they say
that there will ben trade this summer
and that they can't advertise before
fall. In the interim how are we to keep
the paper going? 1t is serious
solemn conundrum. We give it up.
We are not Il millionaire or a philan-
thropist, to continue publishing paper
for the good Of humanity at steady
pccuniary loss to ourself. Neither are
we greedy, as they who want the earth.
We would be content with bare living

Composition.

One of the best and most instructive
exercises that u teacher can have in
his school is the writing of compost
tions. Pupils whr are old enough TO
express their thoughts on paper should
be required to write one twice a week.
Once day would not be too frequent
if the teacher had time to correct them
and have them read but rs all know in
every district school there are from 90
to 30 classes 10 rccite every day, and
too much time cannot be consumed for
any particular study. Writing compo-
Silions teaches pupils what? 1t teaches
them to spell; it teaches them the use
OF our grammarS; 1t teaches them,
among a great many other things, to
think for themselves.
The student should be continually
engaged ip forming exact ideas, and in
expressing them clearly by language.
Such practice inscnsibly opposes any
tendency to eXaggcration or mistake
and increases the love of truth in every
part of life. "Those who reflect upon
how many hours and days are devoted
by n lover of sweet sounds to gain a
moderate facility upon mere mechan-
icaI instrument, ought to feel the blush
OF shame, if convicted of ncglccting
beautiful living instrument whcrci
play all the powers OF the mind"
Look at school boys first compost
tion, and notice how many words are
mi>snalleG- see what little attention he
gives to the rules Of punctuation and to
the use Of capital letters. Look at his
second production. Has he advanced
anyP At glance you will see he has
greatly improved. The third is better
than the second, the fourth is still bet
ter and so on until at the expiration of
a 6 months term of school, he is able to
write well; he is now competent to write
to his uncle, aunt, or cousin II letter in
which there could be found but few if
any mistakes.
