The ceremony of unwilling the monu-
ment on the battlefield Of Gettysburg to
mark the spot where the Twelfth New Jer-
sey regiment fought so nobly in the
thckest of that blody contest, will be held
i'll September, and ii is expected that fully
two hundred veterans of the regiment will
be present and participate in that interest
ing event Colonel William E. Potter. of
Bridgeton. will deliver the oration and it
is desired that the reunion and dedicatory
service shall constitute one of the most in
teresting events in the history Of that gal
liant organization.
There is IA feeling among the veterans
however. that the event will not be com
plete without the presence of the old worn
and battle-scarred regimental colors which
led them on and gladdened their eyes in the
thckest of the fight. The colors were
presented to the regiment by the Hon.
John f. Starr. of Camden. and at the close
of the war We're given to the family of the
late Lieutenant Colonel Davis. in the alb
sence of the field officers. They are now
deposited in the vault of Philadelphia safe
deposit company. The survivors of the
regiment have several times expressed a
desire that the battle flags be returned to
the regiment or deposited with those OF
other regiments of the state i'll the capitol
at Trenton. AS it now is they are in an
other state, beyond the control of, and
inaccessible to- the men who guarded them
so ealolisly ON the field.

About Printing Offices,

\ properly conducted printing Office is
as much secret as a Masonic Lodge The
printers arc not under oath or secrecy, but
always feel themselves as truly in honor
bound to keep Office secrets as though
triple oathed. Any employee in a printing
office who willingly disregarded this rule
in relation to printing Office secrets, would
not only be scorned by his brethren Of the
craft, but would lose his position at once.
We make this statement because it some
times happens that communication APP
pears in a newspaper under an assumed
signature, which excites comment, and
various parties try to find out who is the
author. Let all be saved the trouble Of
questioning the employees Of the printing
office. They are ''know-nothings' on such
points as these. On such matters they
have eyes and ears, but no mouth, and if
any fail to observe this rule, let them be
pnt down as dishonorabIc members of the
craft. 1t is the same in job printing If
anything is to be printed and kept secret,
let proper notice be given Of the desire for
secrecy, and you might as well question
the Sphinx as one of the printers.-Sd1

a Mysterious disappearance.

Wilbcrt II. Barrett who wll be remember
ed by many people here, and who formerly
taught school at Auburn. living at Shiloh,
left his home on Monday. July 9th, since
which time he has not been heard from.
Mr.. Barrett is the proprietor of the Shiloh
Packing establishment. and has done
considerable business in the canned goods
line during the past three years. As time
went on and lie did not return inquiries
were made as to his financial standing,
when it was learned that he was in debt TO
the amount of some fourteen thousand
dollars. Several persons who had endors-
ed for him will be seriously embarrassed
because of his rascality. Mr.. Francis II.
Tomlinson, former partner with Barrett
in the canning business, will lose large
sum of money through endorsements.
Barrett had contracted with a number of
farmers for tomatoes. beans and other farm
produce. to be canned this season. They.
of course, are short of a market. To add
to his other wrong doing it is reported that
he has also committed forgery. Some of
his endorsers are very anxious for his re-
turn, and the church members are eonsi Ter
ably exercised in mind about his disappear
ance and business

a Girl Drowned.

Our Borough was greatly excited last
Friday over the death by drowning OF

borah Filler, residing on East Mill street.

was crossing the railroad bridge over the
millpond. leading her little five-year-old
niece. gong toward Newtown, and had got
to about the fourth row of piling from the
abutment, when in giving her attention to
the steps of the little child, she missed her
own footing and fell like flash between
the ties to the water below, distance OF
about - feet John Johnson happened to
be crossing the bridge i'll the opposite
direction and was within few feet OF her
when she fell, but did not see her until she
was gone and the child was just about to
follow. when he managed to catch it and
Tins saved its life. He carried the child
to the end Of the bridge and gave the
alarm. Meanwhile lucia had sunk be-
meath the water but did not rise again,
although the water was less than four
feet deep. She was probably rendered I'M
conscious by the fall or by striking against
the bridge, as she went through, 10 marks
of blow, however, were discovered on
her person. The first person to arrive at

boat in which couple of children were
rowing on the pond, commenced
search for the body, which they To-
Gated in about fifteen minutes and then
pnlled back to shore about 200 yards for
graphing apparatus. Finding nothing
more suitable they obtained pitch:orks
and rowing back succeeded in raising the
body to the surface and grasping it by one
hand towed it back to the shore where,
procuring pair of lines, they secured it to
a tree to prevent it floating away until the
arrival OF coroner, young Edwards stand
ING guard and preventing any one from re-
moving the body from the water, claiming
that it was contrary to law. In this
manner precious time was being lost and
when DR.. Allen and Justice Goiorth. who
had been summoned, arrived, the girl was
beyond the reach of any means for her re-
suscitation having been kept in the water
for over an hour, Notwithstanding not
more than ten minutes had elapsed from
the time She fell in TO the finding of the
body. An idea seemed to prevail that
none but a coroner had a right 70 take
the body from the water. The unfortu-
nate victim was conveyed TO the residence
Of her parents The funeral took place On
Monday morning from the NJ. L. church.

The Melon and How. TO Eat Ii.

The Atl0hto Constitution expatiates upon
the delights Of the melon-patch as follows:
Very few people know how to eat water
melon, just as one man in ten thousand
knows how to eat an orange. To be prop
erly enjoyed, the perfect watermelon
should be pounced ON in the patch just
after sun rise. 1t should be carefully
selected. In response to an eager thump
there should follow dead and meaty
sound, and the melon should weigh not
less than twenty-five pounds After it is
pulled, it should be split from end to end
with a short baded poeket-knife, so that
in tearing it open, the glowing and juicy
heart, bursting loose from its confinement,
shall find Judgment ON one side only. At
this point the knife is to be flung away
For moment the eye should be allowed
to feast itself on tile vision thus suddenly
brought to view, then the heart shosld be
scooped out " 18th the hand, and its nee
tarious meat thrust upon the hot and
thirsty palate. There ought to be some
thing savage in the enjoyment of water
melon: it ought to be crushed and swal-
lowed with avidity The man who knows
how to enjoy one will come away from the
fray with the sweets in his beard in his
hair. and on his clothes.

4 colored man who seemed to be deserv-

Woodstown, one day last week, soliciting
aims. He had lost both his legs a little
below the knee, and hobbled around on the
stumps, for which he had peculiarly fitted
shoes, with the aid of a cane. He seemed
to be bright and intelligent and quite
cheerful under his misfortune. He gave
the name of Frank Sewell and said that he
was when boy held in slavery in Mary
land, and his ''ole marse, being as he ex-
pressed it right sharp, he ran away and
in the exposure attending his escape had
both his legs frozen. He is about As years
old and now lives in Delaware. Nearly
all to whom he applied contributed small
sum TO help him along.

The Mosquito.

The mosquito is looked upon as an I'M
mitigated nuisance even by those to whom
his attentions are most marked and his
friends are too small in number to eOunt.
And yet even the mosquito is said to be of
benefit to mankind in his own peculiar
way, as the following from the columns Of
metropolitan journal may show. IN
speaking of this pest the writer says
"A lady whom | know and who resides
about twelve miles from New y ork, has
two children, whose blood was, mp to a
few weeks age, in a very bad condition.
Various medicines were tried with no
effect, but, singular to relate, the children
were, soon after arriving at their summer
home literally covered with mosquito
bites. while the parents were scarcely
troubled with them. In few weeks they
began to mend, and in less than six weeks
they were fat and healthy, and as they
thrived the mosquitoes became less trouble
some. To-day they are as fat and healthy
as any children of the same age, and the
marvellous change is ascribed to the ben
eficent influence of the New Jersey mos

The History of These >,Dos days.

The ancient dog days were forty in
number, and extended from August 4 to
September "A. They where so called by
Egyptian astronomers for the reason that
Sirius. the Dog Star rose with the sun dur
ing the period, and uniting its influence to
that Of old Sol, caused extreme heat and
sickness. Modern dog days depend upon
no such conditions, however, and it would
be difficult to ascribe any reason fer their
EXPERIMENTATION, except that it embraces
the period of the most intense heat during
the season. In England dog days are sup
posed to last from the Sd Of July until the
18th of September; in America, from the
18th of July till the 9TH of September.

recent drouthy period was no exception to
the rule. Last Sunday week broke the
backbone of the torrid wave with shower
that saved the crops in this section, and
last Monday put on the finishing touches
with a storm, the like of which is rarely
seen. 1t drizzled all the morning, show
cred at intervals in the afternoon. and iii
the evening it poured while the lightning
played and thunder rolled. 4 terrible
tornado visited Camden and Philadelphia
in the afternoon, doing an immense amount
of damage. causing the loss of several lives
and severe wounding of large number of
people.
