Burglars were again busy in North
Camden, Thursday night. They at
tackled the house of John H. Rover, at
At Front street. The usual plan of
forcing back shutter was started and
hole bored through, but before the
bolt could be forced, the burglars were
frightened off by the shrill crys of a
poll parrot, whose cage was near the
window, and who was aroused by the
noise.
The Republicans will have three ma
jority in the Burlington county Board
of Freeholders, gain of two. In
Mansfield township it was at first re-
ported that there was tie vote on
Freeholder between Sayre, Democrat,
and Ridgway, Republican, but it has
since been found that the latter has a
majority of one. The Beverly election
in April will probably give the Repub-
licans another vote in the Board.
The warden and deputies of the
Union County Jail at Elizabeth never
had SO little to do as at present. For
the past forty days not prisoner has
been committed to the Jail outside of
Elizabeth, a remarkable occurrence
when it is remembered that the county
includes Railway, Plainfield and other
large towns. Thirty-two prisoners are
at present confined in the Jail, nearly
all of whom are from Elizabeth.
An unknown woman leaped from the
Elysian Fields docks, of Hoboken, into
the river, Thursday morning. She
cried for help as soon as she touched
the water, and her clothing kept her
af1oat till she had been rescued. She
was apparently dead, however, and
the rescuers worked for an hour before
discovering signs of life. She was I'M
conscious when taken to ST.. Mary's
Hospital. She was a German of ordi-
nary dress and appearance.
Twenty-six years ago John O'Grady
and his wife were married in Philadel-
phia. He was very young lawyer,
but sometime since went to Phillips
burg, Warren county, and took charge
of the Columbia House. One day last
week, Mrs. O'Grady presented her
husband with twins AT nine different
times she has borne one child, three
times she has had twins, once triplets,
and once a quartette-in all twenty
two children. The quartette and trip
lets died. Most of the others are liv-
ing.
Reports from the mines of Cooper,
Hewitt & Co., in the upper part of
Passaic county, are very encouraging.
Three hundred tons of iron a week are
being shipped from the Charlotteburg
mines, and the firm can dispose of
more ore than it can mine and more
iron than it can manufacture. The
furnace at Pequest will be put in blast
in few days, and in short time all
the large establishments owned by the
firm will be running full time. The
Trenton Iron Works, owned by the
firm, are very busy.
1t is fortunate for the glass interests
of New Jersey that it has in the person
of Congressman Hires, one competent
to show the injury they will receive
through the passage of the Morrison
tariff bill. 1t is believed that should
this bill become law, and it would
but for the Senate, that the glass in
dustry would be so crippled that it
could no longer be profitably pursued
in this State. In his efforts to prevent
so great a calamity Mr.. Hires is strongly
backed by his Republican associates
from New Jersey. Vest Jersey Press.
The largest sale ofreal estate perhaps
ever held in Warren County, took place
at Still Valley, recently. Seven farms,
several tracts of woodland, and the
grist mill and residence at Kennedy
vile of the late ex-senator Kennedy,
were sold. Mr. Kennedy died without
will two years ago, and as an AMIGA
BILE adjustment could not be made with
the heirs, the estate was placed in the
Court of Chancery, and sold by Special
Master w. H. Morrow, of Belvidere
The farms comprised about 700 acres
of land, and the amount realized was
over $50,0O0.
Until fifty years ago, deer were quite
plentiful in Morris county and other
parts of Northern New Jersey, but the
famous deep snow of the winter of
1856 almost exterminated them.
Great numbers of them died in their
haunts in the woods, and many of
them sought food and shelter in the
barnyards of the farmers, some of
whom put ear marks on them as they
would their cattle. After that winter
most of the survivors emigrated and
some of them with these peculiar marks
