The Polar bears appeared to be In n first

fire, and they tumbled and tossed and boxed
with each other as if they had been imbibino

broken through the ice in their tank. and
every few minutes Tom or Jerry would souse
himself in the water and come ont nuffinp
and steaming as if emerging from a Turkish
bath, while the water dripping from his long
white fur turned to drops of ice in the cold
air. In the adjoining section of the bear pit
are three black bears and a young grizzly.
The cold weather had made them sleepy. and
they were packed away in the corner Of the
cave at the end of the pit, their heads CON
cealed, and the mass looking like great pack
of fur rugs. The Polar bears, which Direc-
tor Conklin secured two years ago. are
nearly five years old. They are now about
half grown and are thriving vigorously.

We Prohibitionists must hang to.
gether or we will hang separately, MS old
John Hancock remarked when he signed
the Declaration of Independence, and
we know no better way to determine
which way to go than to let a majority
OF our forces dictate the policy for all of
us, and not few of us go off because
our individual judgments do not agree
with the opinions of the majority. We

FRENCHTowN ITEMS.


The scholars connected with our public
schools were invited to sleighing party
last Friday afternoon. Twelve sleigh
loads went to Palmyra and Baptisttown.
The festival of the band, owing to the
unfavorable weather, was not a success
financially.
For sometime ooasting has been carried
on extensively, day and night, on the
Everittstown hill. Last Friday afternoon
several providentially escaped instant
death by the upsetting of their convey
ance, within few feet of large wagon
standing along the road. John L. Rober
son was hurt, but not seriously, however,
and others escaped with slight bruises.
Owing to the sickness of Rev. G. w.
Ray, the extra meetings in the Baptist
Church has been postponed for the

THE SUPREME COURT JUDGES.

1t is stated that Judge Alfred Reed who
now has the Atlantic, Cumberland, Salem
and Cape May circuits, will be assigned
to the late Judge Parker's district, com.
posed of Burlington, Camden and Glou-
cester counties, and that new judge will
take Judge Reeds circuit. The salaries
of the members of tho Supreme Court are
not generally known. The Chief Justice
receives ~, 500, and each OF the Associate
Judges 1000. The basis of population
is fixed at W, 600 for each district. When
it exceeds that number the justices are
allowed, in addition to the salary OF
$1,000, percentage which materially in
creases their incomes. Chief Justice Beas-
ley's circuit, composed of Warren, Mer-
Ger and Hunterdon counties, has an ex-
cess of 61,942 population, which gives
him $S,738.84. Judge Depue, of Essex
county has an excess population of 1885,
764, which brings his salary to 80 ,675. 28.
Judge Scudder, whose circuit is composed
of Monmouth and Middlesex counties,
has 39,504 excess of population, and a
salary of $7,770.08. Judge Van SICKLE,
who has Union and Ocean counties, re-
ceives only the $1,000 salary, to which
the member of the court is entitled. JUS
tce Knapp, of Hudson, has the distinc-
ton of receiving the highest judicial sala-
ry paid in the State. His excess of popu-
lation is 100, 342, and his salary is $40, :
2O6.S4. Judge Dixon, of the Passaic and
Bergen circuit has 43, 245 excess of popu-
lation, and salary of $7,S65.OS. Judge
Magic, of the Morris, Sussex and Somer-
set circuit has 0,601 excess of popula-
ton, and is entitled to draw 81, 4i2. o.
Judge Reed, of the Cape May, Salem,
Atlantic and Cumberland circuit has an
extra population of 90, 455, and salary
of 81, 409.10. The Camden, Burlington
and Gloucester circuit, which Judge
Reed will be assigned to, has an excess of
population of 81, 1856, bringing the salary
to 50, 636.92, which will give him an in.
creased salary of 81 ,227S2, and rank him
next to Messrs. Knapp and Depue.

That spicy and readable little paper,
The Monitor, published by p. S. Moore,
at Ringoes, N. j., will hereafter appear
weekly, (instead OF semi-monthly,) every
Monday. The paper will be reduced in
size somewhat and will be printed on

THE RECORD Office, and we can only say
that we think Mr.. Moore has worked very
arduously in securing the general circula-
tion that that paper has. The little pa
per has been advertised in every way and
shape; no stone has been left unturned.
