Shore Camp Ground last Monday
evening, aud WAS warmly welcomed
by hundreds, especially by the
trustees, and escorted to the resi-
dence OF Mr.. j. Ii. Keller.
At 9 o'clock a.m., Tuesday, Sam
Jones addressed a large c0ngrega-
ton from the text, "What shall l

practical, personal question, relat-
ing entirely to the individual. 1t
depends on repentance and faith,
and the individual must do work

and shining. Most men would like
90 change places with God, and let
Him 20 the hard work. There is
mnch "Sweet Bye and Bye" and
not enough "Now and Now" 1t Is
not enough to join the church, TO
be baptized aud to pray. These
are Instruments, but the great
necessity is

tell the people where they are
going to, aud not from whence they

any water. Faith is the gilt OF
God, like eyeSight, but believing is
the work OF the man, just as seeing
is. The Biblical injunction pay be

with many anecdotes and epigra-

Keep IL Out of the Paper.

Keep it ont of the paper, is the cry
which the local newspaper publisher daily
hears. To oblige often costs considerable,
though the party who makes the request
thinks the granting scarcely worth saying
thank you'' for. y newspaper is a pc
culiar article in the public's eye. The
news-gatherer is stormed at because he gets
hold of one item, and is abused because he
does not get another. Young men and
often yonng women, as well as older, per-
form acts which become legitimate items
for publication and then rush to the news
paper offices to beg the editors not to
notice their cscapades. The next day they
condemn the same paper for not having
published another party doing the same
thing they were guilty of, forgetting, APP
parently. their late visit to the printing of
flee. The subscribers expect to read the
news, and there is always wonder when,
for charlty's sake, an item ON the street
and in everybody's mouth, is not found in
the next issue of the paper.

On Saturday evening last just after dark,
a colored man, in the employ Of Domelly
Il Waterman, of Salem, was going down
Main street near the NJ. L. Church in a
buggy with two women, and in attempting
to pass another team ahead, failed 10 notice
a wagon coming in the opposite direction
and a collision occurred, the WACO was
upset and wrecked and its occupants
thrown ont and severely bruised. The
horse ran away with the wreck of the
buggy at his heels, and 4 little distance oil
met, ran into and upset another buggy, in
which were Dennis Lane. of Auburn, and
two ladies, She horse attached to which
also ran away after breaking loose from
the vehicle. The Salem horse ran across
the bridge and left the smashed buggy
partly in the millpond opposite Thomas
NJ. Whites house, while he kept on and
was lost to sight and was not captured
until next morning, when he was found at
Yorktown. The buggy was 4 fine new
one and, with the horse, belonged to Don
nelly & Waterman. The other horse ran
ont the Yorktown road and was captured
near the Dickson farm by a couple OF
colored men coming into Woodstown. The
affair created considerable excitement, il
being dark and very difficult to ascertain
the real extent of the damage done.
