1t is with regret that we announce
the death of the wife of Mr.. ParVin
who has recently moved among us.
One of the reasons he brought his fac
tory here was because it was thought
she would recover in being near the
river.
Constance S., the famous Hodlstein
heifre, owned by VIM. NJ. Smgerly,
proprietor of the Phila. Record, died
of rupture Of the stomach last week.
She was valued at $4,000. Her
record of eighty-three pounds of milk
in one day has never been equaled by
any 2-year-old.
Mr.. E. S. Fogg, ye editor of the
Woodstown Monitor, took a trip down
the bay on the shad tug on Monday
and received much knowledge concern
ing sbad and fishing, which were quite
astonishing to II who lives in The dry
regions where only the sucker pene-
trates and is considered the most de
liciousn eating.
The new steam yacht Fannie H.,
owned by Mr.. Humphlies, CT H. T.
Neck, Geo. W. Hewitt and others,
which is to carry truck ont of the ca
nal next summer has received the ne
cessarary certificate OF inspection by
the Government officers and is now Ell
gagged III carrying shad purchased of the
Gsaermeu to market. John NJ. Walker
is pilot.
The Wilmington morocco strikers
are dissatisfied because they have not
received the money they were to get
while idle, S. per week formarried men
and S. fer those unmarried. They
have been out five weeks and i'll That
| time the married men have received S3
and the unmarried $3.50. They VIII
probablv soon be convinced of their
wrong doings, when poverty SHARES
them in theii faces.
On Saturday afternoon about forty
f,iends and relatives treated VIM. u.
| Summerill and wife to an Easter sur
| prjse visit. They walked in very uneX-
pectedly TO the host and hostess, la
dened with many relished eatabies
that make it IA very enjoyable and fes-
tive occasion. The evening was spent
in social games in which the older
ones showed the viyacity of Their
Younger days and greatly enjoyed the
merriment.
The catch Of shad has not been so
| large this week as it was last. One
| hundred and fifty vas a high catch on
Monday and throughout TIL week the
| catch has averaged from % to 100 to a
net. The number taken to market by
the line has been from 10000 to $4,000
a day. The buyer on the boat paid $
a hundred on Monday, $40 on Tuesday,
S11 on Wednesday, S12 and S13 on
| Thursday and SO OH Friday, which
is about what those sent to market
cleared.
The proposed shore road from Penns-
grove to the Cove was surveyed last
| SATURDAY.. 1t extends from Franklin
street on a straight course forty chairs
to Y Hook point, then follows the
bank as near as possible in two courses
70 near Summeriu 81 Bro. IS storehOuse
1t will be fifty-three chains long anc
when made will be much Travelled rs il
will lessen the distance between Penns
grove and the Cove a third of a mile
Besides it will open over a fifth of mile
of the finest building lots for summer
residences that can be found on thu
shores of the Delaware.
One of the great needs Of Penn'
grove is a fish market where shad cal
be bought at any time. The absence
of it decreases the sale of shad on shor'
where more has to be paid for then
than they bring in the city and make
it very inconvenient for those who d.
not live near the river. They have t
invariably come to the river to engag
their fish and then make another tri.
to secnre them when they will probab
ly be disappointed. Many farmers Griv
to Pennsgrove when it is %convenien
for them and would like to take sha
home with them but as the fisherme
do not come in but once a day noh
can be procured. There should b
some one TO start a fish stand whic
would undoubtedly pay.
