The NJ. L. Sabbath school has elected the
following officers for the ensuing year: F.
III. Ewing, superintendent; Walter Jelli-
son, assistant; II. A. Rogers, treasurer;
Miss La GasliE, secretary; Earnest Bald
win. librarian; Meads, assistant. This
Sabbath school has a membership of ISS
and an average attendance of 100. When
Mr.. Ewing the newly-elected superintend-
ent, assumed charge of the school, about
one year ago. il was in debt about $50.
Now there is about $40 in the treasury, and
the membership has been largely increased.
For this he deserves much credit.

jersey sweets. three and four pounds for
25c; cucumbers, 10c; cabbage, 5@1Oc;
squash, 10@15c; melons, 15@40c; green
corn. IOc. Fruits are more plentiful, but are
no cheaper. grapes being the only things that
are coming down. They now sell at I5c.
Those who eat lots OF fruit have to pay high
prices for il.
The mortality rate at the prison is much
less than many people suppose. Some
years there are no deaths, and the largest
number on record is eight. Since Jan.
there have been three. in 1881 there were
none. two in 1SS2 and one in 1883. This
is certainly remarkable for the number of
prisoners there are in the prison.
