BOROUGH %vERNM

This question has been considerably
ag.tated at times during the past three
wears, hut no definite action las ever
been taken III the matter. During tie
past month public sentiment has again
been Turned in this direction, so that it
has been decided 10 take positive steps
towards turning Pennsgroye and lis
immediate vicinity into a Borough.
1t is the i~nteptioM Of the projectors to
do this under the Borough Act" OF
1883. This will give the Borough y
Mayor and 6 councilmen, but without
compensation. The only additional
officers 10 be paid will be a City Clerk
and Marshal. The township assessor
and collector will act for the borough
as well as for the township. What tax
is raised in the Bourough viii he used
for Borough purposes. At present
about one-half Of the township tax is
paid within the proposed Borough liIn-
its, but hot near that proportion j. 50
S; ent. SO that as far al increased tax
alton is concerned, on the present basis
Of taxation, there would not be any in-
crease, but an improvement. Such ac-
ton would place the streets, sidewalks,
lights, sanitary regulations, fire depart
ment and kindred subjects under the
immediate control of the Council. No
one can say that Immediate action is
not needed upon every one Of these.
In addition to this, public moralityde-
mands such action. Our streets are
Glled every Sunday during the aummer
with a motley crowd of excursionests,
some DIR INK, some swearing, some dis
ord, rly,-all sabbath breakers. You
viii remember that oae OF our Justices
was compelled 10 ISSUE a procl tma'ion
against such actions, the various Phil
adelphia papers eharacteri2ing Peans-
grove as a place where loudness pre-
dominated, Then, let all who are in

Board OF Chosen FreeliOihcrs

The Board met on the 10Th inst. at
at IL O'Clock A. NJ with all members
present. On order of Board $1,000 was
borrowed for three mos. from the Sur
plus fund. The various township bills
were read and ordered paid, among
which a number Of census bills. Mr..
Layton, who had been authorized to
repair the upper Canal bridge, report
ed that it was impossible to repair
il and that a new II Woli,d have to be
builr. The Board gave the privilege
Of the floor to any one present who de
sired to speak upon the subject, which
was accepted by some. Adjourned UNI
til 1.30, ?. N.
Upon being called to order after din
ner, Mr.. j. j. rorton, President OF
the Board of Trustees of the Aims
house, as a committee delegated by
that body, appeared before the Board,
and asked for an appropriation OF
$4,000 to cit up the Almsllouse with
| steam heaters and FIX the ventilation
| of the buildings. He urged his views
with such persistence that The Board
| could not do otherwise than grant it,
| although they hcsitated for along time.
The Upper canal bridge being again
brought up Mr.. Bassett, Of Manning
ton, offered the following resolution:
NJ owed that the Upper Canal bridge
be vacated ut once. and that Il new
bridge be built across the Salem Creek
Canal as soon as convenient and neces
sary, at a point between the two pres
ent bridges, as the Commissioners may
decide, and That as soU rs the Lower
Canal bridge needs seraifing, it be va
Gated, leaving only one bridge This
motion produced a large amount of
debate, the main question being
when it should be bnilt. There was
not IA single advocate of two bridges in
the Board, ali thinking that one bridge
would answer every purpose. After
spending an hour Or 50 III talking the
matter over, tn" m ttiou was put and
lost bv ) to I. Those who voted
against the motion contenling that
nothing should he done until the Low
er bridge was 50 Cdr goue that it would
not warlantrcpairing. 1t wnsthen drcid
ell that a meeting 81 the Board be held

All Through.

Another successful week has been had at
HI. Gillens with the great summer stock
sale. The low prices of fine desirable dry
goods, notably in the dress goods and special
summer lines, have surprised all buyers, even
those looking for low prices. Indeed COM
parsons either of stock or OF prices with for
mer stock of the house or the city will fail to
do Justice to this stock, and unless you call
and see the actual prices now offered you will
never learn the whole truth. Bargains are
had in all departments and in ali lines OF
goods, -dress goods, summer and black silks,
stylish aud fashionable summer fabrics, para
soils, fans, gloves, hosiery and notions, as well
as in the new stock of boots and shoes,-the
reductions extend all Mrough, and not ON a
few insignificant lines only. This is really
the greatest bargain sale this city has seen IN
years, and all should take their share OF the
great advantages offered.

Fraudulent Practices,

tive race of people in existence. Americans
do not fall far behind them. There are many
liquid compounds having peculiar and orig
inal color, odor or flavor by which they are
recognized, and chemistry has advanced so
far that it is easy, by the help Of worthless
ingredients, to prepare something having the
semblance Of the original, but without the
characteristics which render it sought after.
Wines and liquors of inferior quality are often
by chemical process given an appearance Of
age aud strength which they do not possess.
ST. Jacobs Oil has always been recognized by
peculiar color and ador, and knowing this,
many attempts have been made 10 initiate it
by preparations having no curative power.
The warnings which have been uttered on
this subject should be carefully needed

STREAToR NEwsPAPERs.-The first number
OF the Streator Independent, published every
Sunday, made its appearance July 5th. 1t is
patent outside eight column quarto, and its
home department is well filled with newsy
matter, local ard general, and presents very
creditable showing in advertising patronage.
The paper is democratic "by birth and inheri-
tancc," and will give the present adminstra-
ton a cordial support. lie Roy X Achuff are
the publishers. The rdison d'etre, however,
or excuse for existence of Il new paper in a
town already so superabundantly supplied
might be Il mystery but that it seems to be
fully disclosed in the zeal with which the edi-
tors champion the interests of II certain party
for position under the government. No pa
per can expect to enjoy permanent success
that starts out with such entanglements.
From the manner in which the Free Press
assails its new competitor, the Daily Times,
Fornof seems to be badly scared To say the
least, such n greeting is both uncharitable and
unprofesslonal.
