Il.
blooming cereus in his garden on Tues
day evening and about 300 of our resi-
dents called to witness the beautiful
flower. There were ten flowers on the
plant and by ten o'clock were fully
blown and emitted great deal OF
perfume. The rare plant attracted a
lot of attention.
Mr.. Albert Hansell living on the
Beverly and Mount Holly turnpike
near Rancocas, is building stone
dwelling. The house is Of Pennsylvania
white stone, 20 x 60 feet and 40 feet
high. The building when finished
will be very attractive. The mason
work has just been finished by Mr.
Markouski, of Riverside.
-Tramps are not so numerous on
the country roads as they were. They
are vending their way to a region
where harvesting is unknown. 1t is a
very stupid tramp who runs risk of
being called into the field to work by
tramping where the farmer can see him.
A rattlesnake or prospect of work
are two things that will drive tramp
two miles out of his way.
Mr.. Howard S. Bott, of Philadel.
phia. and Miss Emma Douglass, of this
city, were married at Tottenville, Stat
en- Island N. Y, on Thursday last by
Rev. T. Burdett Bott, father of the
groom. The happy couple before re-
turning to this city, will make an
extended wedding tour to the principal
seashore towns and summer resorts,
We extend our congratulations.
Assistant Milk Inspector Peter l..
Vandegrift, of Burlington, made com
plant before Justice Rigg, of Burling
ton, on Wednesday morning against
Job S. Quicksall, of White Hill, for
watering milk. The tactical fluid had
been analysed by Mr.. Shipper Wal
lace, of Burlington. After hearing the
evidence the Squire imposed fine of
$50 and costs, under the act of 1882.
The guests of the Grove House
gave hop last Saturday evening, and
despite the heated temperature large
glided in the may waltz and
the ld-fashioned cotillion. An orches-
ira from Philadelphia furnished excel
lent music for the dancing. The affair
was kept up until late hour and all
seemed to enjoy themselves. A mum.
Der of invited guests of this city were
present.
Mr.. Lewis Parker, newsdealer and
stationer, of this city, moved on Thurs
day, into the building ON Mr.. Steven
sons lot on the south side of Warren
street above Broad. The building has
been fitted up for the purpose intended,
and Mr.. Parker will keep a stock of
daily and weekly papers, periodicals
and standard works and in fact every.
thing in the line of business. Give
him call.
While station agent Huff, of this
city, was riding on his bicycle on the
jacksonville pike on Tuesday after
noon, one of the treadles broke and
in the wheel twisted it out of
shape and the rider was thrown violent
ly to the ground but he sustained no
injury except bruising his knees. The
broken machine was brought home in
a huckleberry wagon and sent to
shops for repairs.
Floor Manager Bullock, of the
Beverly Park Rink has been rendered
a complimentary benefit by Mr.. David
Campbell, the proprietor. The affair
will come off next Tuesday evening,
the attraction being calico carnival.
Handsome gold medals will be awarded
to the lady and gentleman wearing the
handsomest costumes. Preparations
are being made for the event and a
good time is assured to all who attend.
Last Sunday evening we observed
three shelvings loads of corn pass
through this city, on their way to
Philadelphia. We do not object to
the farmers doing necessary work on
the Lords day, but think that cutting
corn all day and hauling it to the city
at the dead hour of night, is not only
unnecessary but is breaking the laws
of God. We have never heard of any
good coming from the few paltry dol
lars made by this work.
Mrs. Sarah Downs, of this city,
president of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, presided at a tenn
perance meeting, at the opening Of

Among the prominent speakers to be
present at Pitman are General Howard
Henderson Confederate General OF
distinction, who is now a Methodist
preacher; also DIR. j. Watson, well,
known throughout this country and
Europe for his "Bible Readings" and
numerous others.
