w ant It Changed.

The farmers of Gloucester, Salem,
Camden and Burlington counties, will
endeavor to have the milk law changed.
Considerable literature to that effect
is now being circulated all over the
State. George Abbott Jr,, Of Moores-
town, has devoted his time to produc-
ing arguments to prove that the stand
ard of 70 per cent. of solids is too high,
and the law prohibiting the sale of
skinned milk, except in marked cans,
is unjust. The state authorities expect
that the opposition will come mainly
from the dairymen, South of Trenton
but that the position of the State will
be defended by the members in the
upper part. Mr.. Abbott presents a
strong argument to show that the
present, standard is too high ais applied
to milk in general, aud as he has an
opportunity yofgatheriDg the facts from
an extensive experience, he is no doubt
correct.

Oysters and the Cold Snap.

The Philadelphia Ledger says the
recent Afreeze-up" interferea some
what with the oyster supply in this
locality. The demand for oysters had
kept up so well that the receipts were
barely enough to supply it, and when
the river froze up the dealers were
caught with few in stock. The gath
erers of oysters on Chesapeake bay
and its tributaries were, however, pre-
pared for just such an emergency, and
their stored stock is now coming for
ward, and in day or two the market,
it is said, will be easy again. Maurice
River Cove and Western Shore beds
are, it is said, not yet depleted, and it
is expected that upon the breaking up
of Winter these oysters will be in their
usual prime condition. The freeze
up" advanced the price of oysters a
shade or two, primes selling on Satur-
day for "a. Is and $5, and the cuttings
for $3 and So so barrel.
The Chincoteague beds are, it is
said, turning out better oysters this
Winter than they have done for years
before, while the Rappannocks have,
it is claimed, deteriorated in quality.
An oyster dealer on Dock, who is
interested in Georgia waters, received
his first consignment of what are com
mieelrfeiallly me lfsiAall known, as Savannah oysters,
last week. These oysters, it is claimed,
are in prime condition at this time,
and in a measure fill the void i'll quail
lty left by the absence of the Maurice
River and Wertern Shore oyster. The
prices OF opened oysters are not af
fected by the recent slight advance in
shell oysters.

A SAD CASE,

LIZ
Friday afternoon the dead body
of David T. Randolph, aged 80 years,
lay in the basement of the undertak
ing establishment of Pierce 81 CARL.
The death of the old man was some
what mysterious, and a careful investi-
cation was made of the sad occurrence.
David T. Randolph is an old man,
we'll known in this city and vicinity.
He has been known as a man who was
generally dissolute and fond of his cup.
He was q veteran of the late war and
received a wound in his right arm,
and draws from the Government $4
per quarter. He was the father of
Richard Randolph, of this city, and
for years has been widower. He has
had no home for years, and generally
stayed with different people in the
vicinity of the Barrens, near Marlboro,
just across the county line in Salem
county. About three weeks ago he
went to the house of Samuel Fox, at
Marlboro, and while there was taken
sick, but recovered sufficiently to walk
to Bridgeton on Saturday last and re-
turned While here he met his son
and had with him at that time about
$50, sum which was usually kept by
him as ''nest egg"
Wednesday morning he died. The
cause of his death is not known. He
had no medical attendance, and the
people with whom he lived seemed to
have no idea, at least they could say
but little. Thursday undertak er Pierce
was telephoued for from Shiloh, and
he went out after the body. He found
the house to be in lonely place, and
it's dimensions were about 16x16, with
two rooms. Ir the living room down
stairs was the body of old Mr.. Ran
dolph, while in the same room were
two women and two men. The under
taker made inquery as to the cause of
=, death, and the people informed him
that DIR. c. H. Dare, of Shiloh, at
tended him and would give him the
certificate of death. Believing them
Mr.. Pierce placed the body in his
wagon and stopped at the residence of
DIR. Dare, but that gentleman declared
he never attended the man and refused
to give the certificate. This placed
the undertaken in rather a bad pre-
dicament. According to this he should
not have touched the body until it had
been viewed by Il Coroner, but as he
had gone thus far he brought the body
to this city, and communicated with
Coroner Barnes. The death being out
of the jurisdiction of Cumberland
county Coroner, word was sent to Coz
oner Franklin Beckett, of Elmer,
Salem county, That gentleman ar
rived in this city on the noon train
and went to the basement of the estab-
Iishment of Pierce s. CARL, and made
a careful examination of the body.
Nothing was found to indicate foul
play, and the Coroner returned with
the opinion that death resulted from
natural causes.
The clothing worn by Mr. Randolph
was of poor quality and did not show
that any care had been taken of them.
In his pockets were found barlow
knife, an cid pipe, small piece of
tobacco, a fifty cent piece, an empty
pocket book, and a last Falls Repub
lican and Democratic ticket Prepara-
tion were at once made for he dispo>i-
tion of the body, ali this afternoon it
will be laid away in the silent tomb in
the cemetery at Shiloh.
