Mayor Acton is after the owners of poor
broken-down horses who drive into Salem
and gives them their choice of "a new

And now the Salemites are rejoicing i'll
the presence of a band of five truly" In
dams, two or three s'pale-faces' and a

Walnut street and selling patent medicines
for the relief of the ills to which Salem
flesh is subject.
The stony hearts of the people of Salem

Walton army, and their pocket books ap-

people prefer to TAKE their religion in the
plain, old-fashioned way.

Casualties.

One day lately a boy living with
Paul Avis at Lincoln Mills was driving a
tall stake into the ground with a heavy
mallet. standing in a cart to reach his
work better. The mallet missed a blow and
the misdirected force threw the boy out
and falling upon the stake his person was
lacerated i'll a terrible manner.
Captain Samuel Prior. of Salem. met
with a painful accident last week while
driving in his carriage from Joseph NJ.
Weatherby's house, near East Lake Mills.
As he passed the house of Edward Robin
son., a dog ran out and frightened the
horse, and caused him to run away. Near
the end of the road as ii enters the mill
road the carriage was thrown into the
fence and wrecked and the Captain thrown
out. sustaining severe bruises about the
head and q sprained wrist.
Our readers will be panied to learn that
VIM. ID. Buck. who formerly carried on
the restaurant in Woodstown adjoining
the MONITOR office has met with severe in
iuries at his ice cream factory in Camden.
He was standing near the freezing
machinery and was holding Il cloth which
was wrapped around his hand. The loose
end of the cloth caught in the cog-wheels
of the freezer and before he could release
his hand it was drawn into the wheels and
so badly lacerated that it was necessary to
amputate the thumb and little finger, and
at last accounts there was some doubt
whether two other fingers would not have
to come off. As Mr.. Buck had previously
lost all but one of the fingers Of his other
hand by accident some years ago, this last
misfortune is a very serious one to him.

of our Lord and his Apostles. when il is
asserted by men who declare most EN-

speak, when they say that physical inhrmities
of 40 years standing were healed during the

OF this miraculous healing is not a distant

been the partial change Of ownership

IT would cause no trouble TO the
public interests should the governor
strangle that monstrosity known as
the land bill. The state land board
fully understands the sentiment of
the people on the subject and could
easily carry out their wishes under

AS there is more good, nutritious

in the periodical resolutions" of the
