The Convocation of New Brunswick.

The Convocation of New Brunswick.
This is the designation of the clergy of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, as or
ganized for home missionary work, in
the seven counties of Union, Middlesex,
Somerset, HunteIdon. Mercer, Monmouth
and Ocean. This body of clergy, to,
gether with several lay delegates Of the
parishes, meets quarterly at such places
as may be selected, for religious exercises,
the transaction of business connected with
missions, and social intercourse. The
whole number of clergy belonging to this
Convocation is forty four, of whom about
twenty, with the Bishop, Rt. Rev. DR..
Scarborough, convened in Lambertvile
on Monday and Tuesday of this week.
A public missionary meeting was held
in S. Andrews Church, on Monday even
ing, when instructive and stirring mis-
sionary addresses were made by the Bish
OPP, Rev. Dean Rodman, and Rev. DR..
Franklin. The Bishop made wide sur
vey of the mission field, gave interesting
accounts Of much that was done at the re-
cent General Convention in Chicago, and
made affectionate reference to the death
of the Rev. DR.. Studdford, to whose
piety, learning and devoted work he paid
just and tender tribute.
DR.. Franklin, with great force and
earnestness, set forth the idea, or spirit
of missions, as involved in the word
"send, !" and meaning far more and far
other than the saving of ones own soul,
namely, lie making known the truth to
the world, bearing witness to Christ.
Dean Rodman, in felicitous way,
urged the necessity of money as an ele-
ment in the work of missions, Illustrated
by anecdotes the difficulty of obtaining
money from many Christian people, and
the better readiness and gladness that
others evince in giving.
On Tuesday morning there were two
services that at half past ten being the
celebration of the Lords Supper when
an able and deeply interesting sermon
was preached by the Rev. A. w. Cornell,
of Spotswood, on the order of the Chris
tian Year, as teaching the life and work
of Christ, whence are drawn the doctrines
of Christianity.
At one O'Clock, the members of the
Convocation sat down to a bountifnl col.
lation in Thatcher's Hall, which had been
prepared by the ladies of the parish,
many of whom did the honors of the
table with grace and acceptableness
"The spread was beautiful as we'll as
bountiful, and spoke well for the taste
and generosity of those who were evil
IDENTIFY more than pleased to entertain the
guests Of the parish. Full justice was
rendered to this feast of good things /;
and several lively after-dinner speeches
testified that the Inequalities of the good
people of s. Andrews were highly appre-
ciated. At o'clock the business meet.
ing of the Convocation closed, and the
members departed for their various homes,
to meet next in S. Paul's Church, Rah-
way, February 8, 1887.

An exchange, upon what authority
we do not know, makes the following
statement:
The experts appointed by the Court to
make examination into alleged crooked
ness BY the Freeholders of Hunterdon
county have just closed their work, after
holding many meetings. But one charge
was sustained. that more money had been
expended than was appropriated, necessi-
tating the adoption of temporary loan
to meet the heavy court and asylum ex-
penses. The examination cost the tax
payers ovey $4,000.
a person who has some opportunity to
know, tells us that so far from this being
true, the experts have found many very
crooked transactions. When the report
is made public, we shall know (which is
which" We suppose.

Either our business men and proper

grow or else they are waiting for others
to do the work of encouraging new bust
ness enterprises to locate here, while they
reap the benefits. 1t looks great deal
like the latter. But We tell such people
that meanness has its own reward. Liber-
atty and enterprise will draw people and
business here, but narrow get-and keep.

"A truthful resident Of the First Ward
land we hope this appellation is not so
descriptive and singular as to point him
out) says that as high as sixty dollars was
paid for congressional votes in that Ward
His evidence of the fact is this: The wife
of one of the voters searched her hus-
bands pockets at the close of the day
and found sixty dollars therein, and she
declares he had no money 10 the morning
and no means of getting that sum, other
than through voting. The only reason
for objecting to the evidence is that the
price is altogether too high.

1T is now time to advertise holiday
goods. No other method begins at all to
approach the newspaper advertisement as
means of reaching the eye of the buyer.
And yet, strange to say, many people re-
sort to all kinds of catch-penny methods
instead of using their local newspaper,
when they want to call special attention
to their trade. But the men who have
had the greatest reputation for shrewd
business ability, have after careful testing,
given the preference to the newspaper
over any and all other plans of addressing
the public.

and asked for drink. On being refused

the place by the proprietor, but on reach
ing the pavement skinny" showed fight;
and for time there was quite q tussle
for the championship. At last Kelly was
persuaded into the house, when skinny"

panes of glass out of the front window Of
the saloon. He then started homeward,
