AN EXPLANATION.

What Is this nervous trouble with
which somany seem now to be afflicted ?
If you will remember few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively unknown
to-day il is as common as any word in
the English language. yet this word
covers only the meaning Of another word
used by our forefatlers in times past
So it Is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what our
grandfathers called Biliousness, and all
are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in
performing its functions finding it cannot
dispose OF the bile through the ordinary
channel Is compelled TO pass Ii off through
the system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are
suffering can well appreciate cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower. It's

erman, at Pennsville, and Elmer Meyer,
who boarded with them, in a New York
paper, it has just One to light that the
couple eloped.
Mrs. Stripple was a good wife and
mother to her two young children, and her
husband never suspected ANYTHING, al
though Meyer was a gay. dashing young
fellow many years younger than himself.
Toward the latter part of May Mrs.
Strimple took q notion to visit some of her
relatives in AllowaY, and on Decoration
day Meyer started on a trip to Chester.
Nothing was thought of these visits at the
time. and the elopement was not known
until Strimple, becoming curious about ms
wiGe's prolonged absence, visited the Allo-
way relatives and found that she had been
gone some time. He continued his inves-
tication and learned that Meyer had left
Chester the same day that Mrs. Strimple
left Alloway. Nothing has been heard of
them since,

ouestionap. pastor.s views.

Ever since the trial Of Rev. L. @. Baker
for heresy, the Rev. II. Thomas, of the
Greenwich Presbyterian Church, Cum
berland county, has been at times making
public expressions that led many to believe
that he was of the same opinion in refer
ence to the doctrines of Calvin and the
Westminster Cateehism. He thinks that
Calvinism needs toning down considerably;
that predestination and the old-fashioned
fire and birthstone preaching are aot con-
sistent with modern truth. \ committee
was recently appointed to take the matter
into consideration. The opposition to him
is led by his brother-in-law, Thomas Hunt,
who is a radical Calvinist. Mr.. Thomas is
one of the oldest of the New Jersey Presby-
terrain ministers, and has been pastor of
Greenwich Church twenty years. He is a
man highly esteemed, and his change of
views is a surprise to his numerous friends.
He is prepared to make a vigorous defence
when the matter ZONES to trial before the
Presbytery.

Early Monday morning, a party OF young
men from Swedesboro engaged a team at
Crothers livery to take them home, and
they were driven there by Albert Crothers.
In coming home Crothers put his pocket
book. which contained $40 in money and
some valuable papers, under the seat of
the carriage, and on reaching home forgot
to take it from under the seat, and went to
bed without thinking Of it. In the morn
ing on awaking he thought of his
money and fastened to the carriage To
search for it, but the pocket book had dis
appeared. The hostler, a young man named
Terry, was questioned as to whether he
had seen anything of it when ungcaring
the horse and putting the wagon in the
she'd, but denied all knowledge of it. y
reward was offered and the search for the
missing pocket book was continued with
out avail until Wednesday, when, after a
careful search around the barn, fresh dirt
was discovered under the sill of the barn
and tie pocket book, with contents intact,
was unearthed from under about six inches
of dirt. The pocket book was replaced
and n watch set on the spot, in the hope
that the one who hid it might be caught
in the act of inspecting Lis booty. but the
rumored finding Of the money gained eur
reney in some manner and probably
reached the ears Of the guilty one.
