On Thursday night of last week the
women known rs Mrs. Wslitsall of l..
p. Meek but whose correct name is
Hannah Fox was arrested at PeEns
vile for attempting to break in the
house of Samuel Collahan ST., anl for
pointing a revolver at Joseph Arm
strong. She was dressed in mems
clothing at the time. She was taken
before Squire Moore, who gave her a
hearing and in default of $500 bail,
and committed her to Salem Jail on
Saturday. She is supposed to be the
person who passed the forged notes OF
James j. Redstra Ike last November,
and also playing thu pranks on Ian
mug and Peterson's h0stler, and DIR.
Newton. When placed in Jail she re-
fused to eat, saying she couli fast as
long as Tanner did, but on Tuesday
afternoon she ate some for the first
since her Imprisonment. She denies
every charge against her and refuses
to be bailed out. She acts in Il queer
manner at times by lying in a perfectly
m~otionless condition and refuses TO be

The Eyesore ofPennsgrevc.

Few towns in New Jersey have the
advantages Of Pennsgrove. Bounded
on one SIDE by the beautiful and pro-
life Delaware river, on the other side
with fertile farms, Producing the
choicest of market truck it would
seem that God has specially favored
the inhabitants of this salutary town.
Very few places enjoy the society Of
a more industrious and thrifty popula-
ton. This fact is noticeable WHEN you
enter the homes of Pennsgrove. They
indicate thrifty taste and industry.
Unfortunately Tor our village there is
no one to take pride with u streets.
We are not a borough, perhaps we
ought not to be. That is a question.
One thing is certain, the beauty of
Penhsgrove is marred and the health Of
the inhabitants endangered by the un-
sanitary condition of the streets and
by-ways. The middle of the streets ere
good, farexcelliug those of many towns,
but the ST. eet cutters are filthy, full
of old refuse, tin cans, old paper, shoes,
aud all the unmentionable rubbish that
houses accumulate, the secretions of
civilization.
This glaring defect is noticeable ven
in the main street, but more startling in
some Of the side sire cts Genial spring
is doing what she can to hide this de-
feet, but, though she may cover this
refuse with verdant grass, she cannot
destroy the death dealing properties,
the germs of disease, that be lurking,
ready to spring at a moments notice
upon the needless inhabitants of the
pace. When We read aboat that ter
rible plague at Plymouth, P~eunsylva-
mia, where hundreds are stiieked, and
scores have died, it behooyes nsthat va
pay some attention to tine laws Of health
and the sanitary condition of u town.
