A Pleasant Surprise.

Among those in our midst who have
been favored to live beyond the Scrip
tural allotted time, is Mrs. Ann Errick-
son, mother-in-law of Judge Chas. G..
Hampton. She is now 81 years of age,
and possesses to remarkable degree
the same cheerful disposition which
has characterized her life. She still
takes deep interest in passing events
and delights to entertain her friends.
On Thursday last a number of her
nieces and nephews from Millville,
Cedarville and Tuckahoe, concluded to
give her q genuine surprise, and this
they accomplished right well, for the
house was full of those who came to
wish her good cheer. The old lady
entered into the entertainment with
her old time fervor, and a delightfully."-
pleasant gathering it proved to be,
not only to Mrs. E. but to all present.
Before the company retired they left
with their aged relative an elegant
and substantial present.

Stole $500 in Gold.

About three miles from Port Eliza
beth, along the Cape May railroad
lives family of one brother and two
sisters by the name of Hays A short
time ago'Jont. Mason finding that only
one of the women (who is about 80
years of age) was at home he sent a
boy to turn the COWS out. The old
lady finding them out went to get
them, and while she was absent JOINT.
entered the house and stole $500 in
gold A warrant was issued for his
arrest, but the Constable finds that
when he goes after him, JOINT. has gone
to some other place. JOINT. served five
years in Trenton some time ago, and
is in fair way to go there again.

School Accommodations.

The impression prevails among some
of our people that the city has not
sufficient school accommodations.
This is erroneous. Based on the school
census, there is not; but when it is
known that nearly, or quite fifty per
cent. of those included in the census
do not attend the public schools,
Bridgeton children are amply pro-
vided with accommodations. In fact
the Board of Education have three
spare rooms which they can throw
open on a very short notice, should
occasion demand it.
A large per centage of children of
school age are kept out to work, by
their parents; a number willfully ab-
sent themselves from school: while a
great many more are attending private
schools. These are the reasons why
the enrolment of scholars is below the
census.
There have been some few out of
school who desired to attend, but in
many instances they were children
who were suspended for insubordina-
ton. The Visiting Committee of the
Board of Education, of whom Mr.. Jos.
Miner is chairman, is prepared to fur
nish any child entitled to schooling,
with place in the schools.

Another Surprise.

One of the most pleasant surprise par
given to Mr.. Newton Elmer and his
most estimable wife, at their handsome
residence on North Pearl street. 1t was
about noon, Tuesday, when thirty or
more of their relatives and friends
dropped in upon them to pay them a
social call" Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer
were completely surprised, and hardly
knew what to do or say. The party
came to stay to dinner, and fearing
lest the host and hostess had not pre-
pared forsuch a large number, brought
with them as caterer Mr. S. M. Ogden.
the restauranter, who had prepared
for the occasion a prineely repast of
all the palatable things imaginable.
The dinner lasted from two o'clock
pleasantly spent while around the fes-
tive board
In the evening large number of
the party proceeded to the residence
of Mr.. Henry Graham, on West Com
lnerce street, where the evening was
happily spent in social amusements.
Among the large number present at
Mr.. Elmer's were Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ard Robinson, Mrs. Benz. Paterson,
Mrs. Thos. Dunn, Mr.. and Mrs. Reeve
Stretch, Mr.. and Mrs. S. Clem. Casper,
Miss May Casper, Harry and Raymond
Casper, Prof. Boon and wife and
daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Robinson, Mr..
Luther Richmond, all of Salem; Mr..
John R. Graham and wife, Mr.. Harry
Graham and wife, Mrs. Anna Clark,
Miss Lizzie Shull, Miss Veronica Leeds
and Ellison R. Elmer, of this city. The
parties from Salem were driven over
in carriages, and arrived in this city
about noon. The occasion will long
be remembered by the happy partici
pants.

An Arm Severed.

While Frank Cassidy was saving
wood with a circular saw operated by
horse power about two miles from
Elmer on the premises of johnson
Neukirk, he met with painful acci-
dent. Some of the gearing which con-
nected the saw with the horse power
got broken, when Mr.. Cassidy was
thrown against the swiftly revolving
saw, and had one of his arms imme-
diately severed from the body, while
his body was terribly lacerated. Sum-
mons were quickly made for medical
aid, and DR.. AL. Woodruff, of Elmer,
at once responded. DR.. Paulding,
of Daretown, also put in an appear
ance, and together the physicians did
everything they could to alleviate the
sufferings of the unfortunate young
man. Much anxiety is manifested for
his recovery as he is terribly injured.

A Young Man Drowned.

While the sloop Jos. 4. Clark, " was
in the Delaware Bay Thursday after
noon, sailing from this city to Phila-
delphia, she encountered a severe gale.
One of her crew, Chester Facenire, a
young man of about 90 years of age,
son of Lewis Facemire of 90 Water
street, was standing on the rear deck
of the vessel, when a strong puff of
wind struck the mainail and threw
the boom around, striking Facemire
and knocking him intd the foaming,
lashing waters. EveryIpossible effort
was made to save him planks, ETC.,
being thrown overheard, and even the
yawl boat being broken up to supply
him with something to Keep him above
the surface of the waves. 1t was i'm
possible to save him however, and he
sank before he could be rescued. All
efforts to recover the dead body were
futile, and it is as yet mystery where
it is. After finding it was impossible
to recover the body, the sloop pro-
ceeded to the mouth of Stow Creek,
where Mr. Buck left the boat and
started for this city, where he arrived
this morning. conveying the sad intel
ligence to the sorrowing parents and
relatives. Mr.. Facemre was a very
promising young man and held in
much esteem by all who knew him,
and the sad news of his death casts
feeling of gloom over all his friends.

all about you are shelves of well filled
books of almost every class of litera-
ture, about 1000 volumes and new
ones being procured every day. Di-
rectly in connection with the library is
the grand reading room, a large we'll
lighted, airy room, which is furnished
with chairs, tables, etc, In one cor
ner is the Secretary's desk from which
he has a grand supervision ofthe whole
rooms. Books of reference are also to
be found here, and this feature of the
Association is much appreciated by
public. All the latest, Monthly maga-
zines, newspapers, weekly and daily,
are to be found Oh the tables and on
file
Separated from this room by heavy,
beautiful curtains is the parlor, richly
furnished room for visitors to sit in and
be out of the general public in the
library. Oil paintings hang upon the
wall, while the floor is covered by
pretty ingram carpet.
The Glass room opens also from the
reading room. Here classes are held
in the evening which are free to any
body for instruction in the different
studies which are taught.
The Gymnasium is also entered from
the reading room, and is large, COM
modious hall, and contains very valu-
able paraphernalia for the members
of this part of the association, they
numbering 10. A competent instruc
tor comes down from Philadelphia
once week and instructs the young
athletes. This room can also be used
as hall for public meetings, enter
tainments, ETC., having seating ca
pacity of about six hundred.
The Committee room is connected
by door with the library room, and
here all the committee meetings are
held. This room is also used for the
prayer meeting services, a beautiful
organ being placed there, as we'll as
table, chairs, etc.
From it's very beginning the Associ-
alton has had lecture courses, and
prominent among the lecturers at that
time were DIR. Fletcher, of Brazil, now
of Italy; Col. Wall, of this State;
Daniel Dougherty, of Philadelphia,
the leading temperance lecturer, and
others. A great deal more interest
was attached to the lecture courses
then than now, and all of them were
very well attended, Sheppard's Hall
being the place of entertainment.
The Association is now very lirmly
established and very successful in its
work, as we'll as being in very
fiourishing condition. Persons are
helped to find employment, boarding
places are found, help is found for the
employer. The average attendance is
about 200, and about 100 books are
taken out every day.
The above is a very brief sketch of
one of Bridgeton's greatest institutions
for doing good and we doubt not that
it will be of special interest to our
younger readers. and may please some
of our readers of maturer years.
