At the last meeting of the republi.
can Central Committee, it was recon-
mended that steps be taken at the
primaries in each precinct to organize
a Republican Club. Owing doubtless
to the absorbing interest in the main
object of the primaries, this recon-
mendation was not acted upon, so far
as we have been able to learn. We
trust, however, that by the first OF
September at the very latest, there
will be at least one such Club in every
township in the county. We have a
number of printed copies Of the By
laws and Constitution of the lola Club
which we will cheerfully furnish to
anyone wanting TO use it as guide or
model, and we doubt not that some
one or more of the prominent republic
cans of lola will very gladly accept an
invitation to assist in any way the or.
ganization of new clubs in any part
of the county. The initiative in this
matter properly falls upon the town
ship committeeman, and they should
not shirk the duty that devolves upon
them. Allen county ought to return
a bigger republican majority this year
than ever before; and this cannot be
brought about in any way 80 exactly
as by the organization Of active, wide.
awake Clubs.

All For $3.50.

There was a somewhat amusing case
before Squire d. e. Woodruff Mon
day afternoon, between John Garri-
son, of this city, who sued William
Weisman, peddler, for 81 SO. Lawyer
John Lippincott, the stove dealer, ap-
peared for the plaintiff, and T. w.
Trenchard, Esq, for the defence. The
testimony produced by the plaintiff
went to show that he had sold Weis-
man some slabs of timber and corn
stalks, which in all came to $3.50 He
had asked Weisman for the money,
but the young man had brought in a
bill which he claimed Garrison owed
him, while that gentleman disputed
the bill, hence the suit.
Weisman claimed that he had bought
the goods, on which he owed $1.65,
there being various little things which
were offsets. Mr.. Trenchard and Mr..
Lippincott made elabsrat speeches,
and the Judge, after taking all mat
ters into consideration, decided that

BARN BURNED.
The Barn Of Smith Woodruff
Burned to the Ground.

On Feb. 9th at about nine a. III. the
family of Mr.. Smith Woodruff, who
lives in Dutch Neck, noticed flames
coming from his barn in the rear of
the house. The alarm was given, and
the neighbors in large numbers turned
out to fight the fire. But the. flames
had made such hcadway that their
efforts were useless in that direction,
and they turned their attention to sav-
ing the house, which was threatened.
This catastrophe was happily overcome
and tie fire spent itself after the
structure had been burned to the
ground.
The barn was filed with grain, hay
and corn, while in the stalls were
four horses. Two of the animals were
burned TO death. while a handsome
grey mare with colt by her side trotted
out of the barn after the flames bad
burned apart the halter, with the
blanket in flames upon its back. The
animal was pretty badly scorched.
Other livestock had been turned out
OF the barn early in the morning.
No idea of the origin of the fire is
had by anybody. No one in the EN-
ploy of Mr.. Woodruff uses tobacco
The flames did not seem to break out
in any one place, but seemingly started
all over the building. A PIONEER re
| porter who was upon the scene before
the fire was extinguished, saw him
Woodruff. and that gentleman told
| him his loss with grain, building and
| horses, will amount to nearly $1,000

half the amount A number of per
sons from this city Went down to sec

In all probability the bin before the
Legislature providing for the appoint
ing of Circuit Court Judges to act at
Circuit Court in place of Supreme
Court Judges, is likely to become a
law. In such event the First District
would comprise Atlantic, Cape May,
Salem and Cumberland counties The
Judges will be chosen by the Legisla-
ture and as it is Republican the pluns
will fall to members of that party
The salary is $4,000 year and the
friends of Col w. E. Potter will urge
his appointment. 1t is said the gentle
man will not decline the honor if ten
dered him. The law as explained to
as by a prominent County official,
provides the Circuit Court Judge to
act as substitute to the present
Judges in all Circuit Court issues. The
same official is of the opinion that
Cumberland county needs an assistant

A. j. DeVoe, the weather prophet,
agrees with others in predicting bitter
cold weather before the present Win
ter ends. 'Pernit me to state,> he
says in a letter, that the late severe
storm occurred at the exact time when
the moon was crossing the eclipse,
travelling northward. On February
18th the moon will be in the same po-
sition that it was on Jan. 18th, but it's
effect on our atmosphere will not be
felt in the same manner over the exact
locality where it caused such destruc-
tion in January, because our earth has
changed its position to the direct rays
of the sun nearly a thousand miles,
and its effect will be felt further east
ward. During the first fifteen DAYS of
February, more snow will fall in New
Jersey than has fallen in the same
period forthe past thirty three years.
Our coldest weather will occur from
the 10th to the Gath.

An act entitled an act to regulate
the price of legal advertising, the pas
sage of which will be urged at the pres

in the newspapers of this State, or in

rate of ten (l0) cents per line for first,

What few farmers there were in
town on Saturday were talking toma-
toes. Here and there could be seen a
knot of them talking over the matter.
They all think that the action of the
Association of last week was a good
one, and will result in the formation of
a large organization for the protection
of the farmer. $500 per ton they urge
is but fair price for tomatoes, and it
would seem from their conversation
that unless that SUN was received
there would be more potatoes and less
tomatoes next Summer.

RELICS OF THE WAR.
A Little Testament and a
Faded Letter.

Few, who were not living at the
time of the war, can have any idea of
the terrors of war or the privations of
the heroic soldiers who fought in the
many battles. Yesterday there was
placed in our hands little testament.
with fly leaves discolored and cover
worn, and also letter, which because
of the many years it has been pre-
seryed, has faded and the writing from
the hand OF wife and mother is
hardly discernable. The articles which
seem almost sacred to the touch, were
taken from the dead body of Lieu.
tenant J. R. Williams. Confederates
found on the field after the battle OF
Petersburg, by Corporal William H.
Bennett, of this city, member of
Company K, 18th Regt.
Upon the fly leaf of the testament is
written:-'.Lt. J. r. Williams Book.
If | should be slain on the battlefield,
or die in the hospital, for the sake of
humanity inform Mary &. Williams,
of Gardner's Ford P. O., Cleveland
county, N. c., of the fact"
AS requested by the silent messenger
Corporal Bennett wrote to the address,
but has never received an answer. Be
sides the book. there was taken from
the helpless soldier letter which is
