10 Plank Il Si,ad.

A Gloucester caterer gives the following
as the only way to test the true flavor of
planked shad: Scale the fish, deprive it of
its head, tail, fins and insides: then split it
down the back and nail it to Il piece of
oak plank about thirty inches long, fifteen
wide and two thick. The plank must pre-
yiously be heated in an oven until it is so
hot that it cannot be handled by the naked
hands. If is then placed before a range
CRATE of live Goals in such a manner that
the fish stands at about an angle of 40 de
grees to the heat. Great care has to he
exercised to prevent the fish from burning,
and to prevent this it is basted almost con-
stantly with melted butter. When no en-
gagged in b~asting, the cook is constantly
engaged in turning the plank so that its
top becomes the bottom, and vice versa.
1t takes about a half an heur of this treat
ment to properly cook the shad, and then
it is carved on the plank. If any reader of
this wants to plank a slad lie must scorch
(not burm) his plank well before fastening
the fish to it. The oftener the plank is
used the better it gets. Never wash it
after using it.

Before The Squire.

George Trumbull, OF Auburn, made com
plant before Esquire Holmes, on Wednes-
day afternoon, against Merritt \. Billings.
alias Harry Assay. living near Auburn. on
a charge ofbigamy. and had a warrant is
sued for his arrest, which was served by
Constable Coles, who brought the defend
ant to the lookup in Woodstown to await a
hearing on Thursday morning. The charge
was that the defendant was married in 1881
to Anna X. Keen, who was still living, and
that on Tuesday last he was married to
Susie Jones, daughter of the prosecutor.
Rev. o. B. McCurdy testified that he mar.
ried Merritt 4. Billings and Anna r. Keen
in October, 1881. but failed to identify the
prisoner as the man who appeared before
him on that interesting occasion. The
Justice called for proof of the second mar
riage, which was attempted to be proved
by the evidence of the reputed second wife.
This was ruled out as Illegal, a wife not
being permitted to appear against her hus-
band to criminate him. or to criminate her
self. For want of sufficient evidence. the
prisoner was discharged. Susie's father,
the prosecutor, claims to be able to prove
both marriages, and announces his inten-
ton to do so. while Susie tells him he
will have a hard row to hoe to accomplish
that purpose. She declined to say whether
or not she is married to the defendant, bat
the devotion with which she clung TO him
during the hearing furnished an example
fit to be followed by all lawful wives. at
least.

The soldiers Monument.

AT the annual Reunion of the Twelfth
n. J. Vols. held in our borough in 1888, a
committee was appointed to solicit sub
scriptions to erect 4 monument on the spot
occupied by the t2th Regiment at Gettys-
burg. Enough subscriptions have been re-
ceived from members of the Regiment to
warrant the committee in awarding the
contract at their meeting in Camden last
Friday. The design and bid Of Mr.. Kelley,
a granite worker of Camden, were accepted,
the price being $500. The monument will
be of Richmond granite, 4 feet s inches
square at the base, II feet six inches high,
the top to be ~surmounted by a representa-
ton of buck and ball, the whole to be APP
propriately inscribed. The contractor is
to have the monument erected by the last
of July next, and it will he unveiled with
appropriate ceremonies. 1t is probable
that Col. Potter, of Bridgeton, will be the
orator at the unwilling.

4 Mem.CatcE.ef.

One evening last week two women went
to the Office of tanning & Peterson. in
Pennsgr0Ve, II ordered a team and driver
to take them to Benjamin Blacks. They
told the hoStler that they would be ready
i'll a few moments, and that lie would find
them in front of the VI. E.. church. When
he reached the church one of them made
her appearance and said her companion
had concluded not to 90. They started
and when they had reached about a mile
on the way the wonlan dropped her hand
kerehief containing her money, as she said,
out of the wagon and requested the driver
to get ont and &c. it. He alighted for that
purpose and went back to get it, when the
woman struck the horse witt the Whip. and
left him dumbfounded. He picked mp
what she had dropped, Which proved to be
an old rag, and returned home. The wo-
man, continuing on her way alone, drove
to Sharptown and called on DIR. Chas.
Newton. saying that he was wanted to at
tend a sick person living ON the road to
Pennsgrovc. The doctor said he would
gear up and follow her as soon as possible.
but the woman insisted on his coming at
once and in her carriage, so Mr.. Newton
consented. After reaching Wiley's school
house. about five miles from Pcnnsgrove,
the mysterious parsonage informed the
doctor OF her purpose. which was of a
criminal nature and which he refused to
entertain. Finding She could not Sc
cure his services she asked him how
he would like To get out and walk back
home. This Mr.. Newton objected to and
taking hold Of the reins, turned the horses
head toward S%harptown. He alighted on
reaching the village and the team drove
away in the darkness. About four o'clock
in the morning the horse and wagon re-
turned TO the stables at Pennsgrove minus
the driver.

At the recent meeting Of the West Jer-
sey Presbytery at Daretown, Rev. o. B.
McGurdy offered the following resolution
which was agreed to:
That the Presbytery urge upon the SEES
sions of our churches a more active and az
g~ressiye interest in the cause of temper
ance. in the line of the General Assembly's
recommendations to our churches and Sab
bath schools. But, while approaching the
value of the public discussion of the tenn
perance cause, the Presbytery would earn
estly caution our church sessions against
admitting to their pulpits irresponsible
temperance lecturers, who are likely to
cause a dissension in the church, and thus
retard the progress of the temperance
work,
