BY making large purchases Of
first hands. For the past two
months the coffee market has
been continuously strong, and
prices have gradually tended
upwards till now, and no pros

sequence is that coffee that cost
us in March io4c., to-day costs
LAG We have our choice,
either to stop selling It Or raise
prices. We can get plenty to
sell at old prices, but the quality
is not such as we car recon-

this grade will be obliged TO pay
IS cents for , pounds, instead
OF IS cents as before. Posi-
bly your nearest dealer will tell
You that he has not changed his

The Case Decided.

The Court of Errors and Appeals on
Monday rendered a decision in the case of
Z. b. Humphreys, plaintiff i'll error
against the borough of Woodstown, de-
PENDANTS in error in ejectment. The borough
recovered a judgment of possession in the
Circuit Court for part Of the ground occu-
pied by the cellarway or area of Mr..
Humphreys, on the corner of Main street
and East avenue, and the case being APP
pealed, the Judgment of the Circuit Court
has been sustained, The borough claimed
by virtue of an old road return made in
1920. which was defective aud void up
on its face, and upon these defects and
upon the fact that the road called for by
the return had not been opened over the
place in question for nearly fifty years
after the laying mi of the road and then
only as opened by the land owner himself,
Mr.. Humphreys relied by way of defense
to the action, but the higher court decided
that the road return could not be attacked
for defects in a collateral suit, but
only in proceedings directly attacking
and reviewing if, and as it was not
disputed that the ccllarway was actually
within the boundaries of the road called
tor by the return, Judgment went for the

HALEY in Trouble Again.

Charles Bailey, a colored denizcn of
Bushtown, who has figured before the au-
tholities on several occasions for sundry
misdemeanors is again in trouble, this time
for cutting up didos at Salem and shooting
a man named Gun in the muzzle with a
revolver. 1t appears by the account pub
lished in the StaHdard that Gum and
Bailey had an alteration on Saturday
evening, i'll which Bailey got the worst of
it. and meeting his opponent later ia the
evening on Star Corner, sought to wipe ont
old scores by shooting, as aforesaid. The
load from the revolver struck Gunn in the
mouth, knocking ont a couple of teeth and
passing through his upper lip. Bailey
started to run but was soon captured, and
after a hearing before the Mayor, was com
mitted to Jail in default Of $500 bail.

If amy of our readers have not yet visited
the Cyclorama of the battle of Gettysburg,
now open in Philadelphia, they have a
grand treat in reserve. We spent a couple
of hours the other day in contemplation of
the work of art in which all the horrors of
war are depicted with realistic touch until
the observer almost feels that he himself
is part and parcel of the momentous scenes
represented an the canvass, and listens mo-
mentarily for the crash of cannon and roll
Of musketry, and looks to see the forms Of
the soldiers marching to battle or inter
mingled in conflict spring into sudden life
and e the bloody scenes OF 1863. 1t
is useless to attempt to describe this mas
terpiecc of art ON paper. II must be seen
to be appreciated.
