BOARD OF ASSESSORS.
List of Ratables Agreed Upon for
the Year lSSS. ~fzf

The Board of Assessors of Cumber
land county, met Monday morning at
the Court House. and held session
which continued until sometime in the
afternoon. The Board organized by
electing Samuel P. Fithiap, Chairman,
and Elijah Parvin, Secretary. All
members took the iron clad oath.
The usual amount of disagreements
arose during the day, and considerable
fault was found with some of the re-
ports. The report of the assessor from
Maurice River was not in any way
satisfactory, and the Board raised its
valuation 100000. The report showed
that the valuation in the county had
increased over million dollars during
the years past. The following is the
table of ratables adopted:

JOSEPH MOORE. VI. ID.
An HOnOred Citizen and Success.
full Physician.

DR.. Joseph Moore, who met with
such sudden and shocking death on
Saturday last, was one of the older
citizens of Cumberland County,and for
thirty-six years had been a practising
physician in the city of Bridgeton.
He was born Nov. 18th, 1919, in what
is known as Cohansey, about three
miles west of Deerfield, and passed his
boyhood days in the village school in
that locality. Early in life he was in
dentured to man named Thompson,
living in Cedarville or vicinity, from
whom he learned the shoemaking
trade. Most of his early education
and knowledge were self-acquired, and
after completing his trade, he taught
in Newport and Dividing Creek, where.
he is still remembered by many who
were once his pupils. Moving from
thence to Bridgeton, be was for time
principal of the Bank st. school. Hav-
ing afterward decided to engage in the
study of medicine, he gave up teach
ing. and in the Autumn of 1850 entered
the Jefferson Medical College, from
which he was graduated in 1852. He
then went to Millville, and began the
profession of his choice In the Fall of
1862 he was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis, and elected Surrogate of the
County, after which he moved to
Bridgeton In addition to fulfilling
the duties of Surrogate, he carried on
the practice of medicine, in which he
was actively engaged until about four
years ago. He was thrice elected City
Superintendent OF Schools. In 1884 he
was appointed County Superintend-
ent. to which position he was re-elect-
ed by the State Board of Education in
1887, and which he held at the time of
his death. He was one of the constitu-
ent members of the Cedarville Baptist
Church, but for the past twenty years
had been a member of the Pearl St.
Baptist Church, which he joined when
that body was organized in 1856 AS a
physician he was highly esteemed by
his patients; as a man he had the re-
spect Of the community Ill which be
| lived, and his death will l. be. regretted
by wide circle of his friends and ac
quaintances.

SKIPPED OUT WITH FUNDS.
AN INSURANCE COLLECTORS
GETS OFF WITH MONEY.
Frank Seibert Left Town With
Money That did Not Be-
long to Him.

Joseph Cant, of the Metropolitan
Insurance Company, of this city, is
very anxious to ascertain the where
abcuts of Frank Seibert, one of his
collectors, as that young man has
suddenly disappeared with some thirty
dollars of the Company's money, be-
ing heavily in debt.
To begin the story properly it would
be well to go back some time, when
Seibert came to this city from New
York State, the residence of his widow
ed mother. He secured employment
with the Cumberland Nail g. Iron Com
pany, and boarded at the house of Mr..
Cant. About six months ago, while
wrestling in the pipe mill he was
thrown and his leg broken, Mr.. Cant
took beare of him, and DR.. Joseph
Sheppard attended him. After getting
better Mr.. Cant gave him position
as collector for the insurance company
and since then has been working for it.
Recently Mr.. Cant noticed by going
over the books of the young man that
ne was short in his accounts, and Mr..
Cant took him to task for it. The
young man seemed to get deeper in
debt rather than out of it. and on
Thursday he was among the number
who was roped in by the same young
man who scooped in SO many of our
citizens on the watch scheme. He
thought by buying one of the gold
watches for $40 and getting in return
La $40 bill, he would retrieve his fortune,
but like the rest he only received one
dollar.
| 1t is presumed that after losing this
much of the CoInpanys' money the
young fellow was fearful of meeting
MIR. Cant, and he went to his home and
told Mrs. Cant he was going away as
Mr.. Cant and him had had some diff
culties. He left Thursday night and
has not been seen since.
1 1t is positively known that he is
4 some $50 short in his accounts, and he
owes Mr.. Grant some $50 for board,
besides bill of DIR. Sheppard for pro-
fessional services. Mr.. Cant is doing
all he possibly can to discover the
| whereabouts of Seibert.s

Log Cabin of 40.

The attention of the passers-by is
attracted by an old log cabin which is
in our window, and from the top OF
which floats the American flag. This
old cabin was made forty eight years
ago by Robert Jorden, father of drug
gist H. A. Jorden. 1t was owned and
carried by a number of boys who
marched in the professions in the
time of old Tippecanoe and Tyler too
The cabin is well built, and in an excel
lent state of preservation, and is now
the property of Robert Dubois, and
for seventeen years it has been used as
bird box. Perhaps one of the best
times in which the old cabin was
carried. was at the open air mass
meeting in Mulford's grove, this city,
in the memorable campaign.

A NIisinterpretatiOn.

Recently certain business man of
this city sent out several bills, and up
on the bottom of the sheet he wrote,
IF you can help Inc out with this do
so." Not long after man came
to his place of business in a passion.
He had received one of the bills and
was mad, and he did not hesitate to
tell the merchant just what he thought
of him. The business man was in a
state of perplexity. He did not know
what to do or say, and demanded of
his irate caller an explanation, when
the man broke out with Look here,
what made you insult NE by putting
this on your bill.'
Why" replied the business man,
that was only business way of max
ing you know that was pushed for
money"
1T was eh +! Maybe you think you
could get your money quicker by
writing on your bill IF you can keep
me out of this, do So" And that man
actually thought that it was what was
written.

The WAY LAWYERS Do,

Burlington county is not through
yet with paying lawyers for trying the
Barclay Peak case. The Prosecutor
was allowed 5000 by Judge Garrison
for his services, in addition to his
salary. Now Jacob Hendrickson, a
brother of the Prosecutor, presents a
bill for $3.50 for his services, alleging
that he did the work and that the
Prosecutor only assisted" The Board
of Freeholders refused to order the bill
paid, and adopted a resolution express
ing their sense that the Prosecutor
should pay his assistants out of his
salary and the $500 gratuity.

Hints for Young Wives.
Keep cheese in tight tin box.

Keep cheese in tight tin box.
A bag of dry, hot hops on the chest
is excellent in relieving Group.
Preserves and jellies should be
kept in a glass or stone OF in self
sealed jars.
Fruit stains are removed by bleach
ing on the grass when apple trees are
in blossom.
A tablespoonful of turpentine, boil
ed with your white clothes, will aid
the whitening process.
When stung by a bee or wasp make
a paste of common earth and water,
put on the place at once and cover
with a cloth.
Applying kerosene with rag when
you are about to put your stoves
away for the summer will prevent
them from rusting.
To set delicate colors in embroider-
ed handkerchiefs, soak them ten min
utes previous to washing in pail of
tepid water, in which a dessertspoon-
full of turpentine has been we'll STIR
red.
Where weeds persist in springing
up as fast as they are cut off, kero-
sene oil may be used to advantage.
If a small quantity be poured on the
plants after being cut down, the eff
feet will be to destroy them.
Old Innings should be washed iron
ed and kept in receptacle devoted
to such things. 1t is seldom these
can be utilized in good dress, but
sometimes come in course for chill
dren's garments or for everyday cot
ton gowns.
Carrots and celery cooked in cream
make a very nice dish. The carrots
should be cut in thin slices and boil
ed in sailed water; the celery in inch
lengths and then scalded. Add the
milk thickened with cornstarch while
boiling.
A wash which will remove the sun
burn acquired by outdoor sports is
made by adding to twelve ounces of
elderfiower water, six drains of COM
mon soda and six drains of powdered
borax. Applied to the skin, it will
make it soft and clear as baby's.
Put dishes, tumblers and other
glass articles into kettle: cover
them entirely with water. When it
/ has boiled few minutes, set 1t aside,
covered close. When the water is
cold take out the glass. This pro-
cess will harden the articles so they
will not be so easily broken.
Now in fruit canning season, the
women of the household, to whom we
are so deeply indebted for the good
things we eat, should be told that the
4 trouble so many of them take in
warming glass jars before putting hot
fruit into them to prevent breaking is
all needless, that, in fact, it results
in breaking more than it saves. By
placing the cold can on wet rag
taken from dish of cold water it
may be filed with fruit boiling hot
without the least danger of breakage.
The only requisite is that the cloth
be fully saturated-and with cold
water.-Erchange

Cream and Ices.

Ice cream is no longer luxury for
the few, but is extensively made in
private families and eaten as a des-
sert in place of buildings and pies.
A freezer is not very expensive and
is easily obtained. Half an hour is
found to be time enough for freezing,
for which directions come with every
freezer. BE sure and use the reouir-
ed amount of salt. To freeze a
cream, adjust the parts of the freezer
properly, pour the mixture into the
can and give the handle turn or two
to see that it works right before
packing. The ice may be broken
small by placing in a canvas bag and
pounding with wooden mallet.
There should be three times as much
ice as salt. Do not pour off the
water which forms in the freezing
process unless it is likely to overflow
into the can. The rules for creams
are as many and varied as cake reci-
pes. The palmer kinds, made like
custards, may be cooked in quantity
sufficient for two freezings, one-half
being kept in the refrigerator until
needed for freezing. The custards
to be frozen must be made sweeter
than if to be eaten without freezing.
The best ice creams l have ever
tasted were made at a farmhouse.
Everything was at hand for making
it of the best quality, and there was
no scrimping in the materials. The
maker understood freezing and made
light work of it. She served a differ
ent kind of cream every day or two,
using different fiavors and fruits, to
give variety.
Chocolate Cream. two eggs
very light, and add two cups of sug
ar. Heat one pint of milk to the
boiling point and pour over the eggs
and sugar slowly beating it at the
same time. Rub five tablespoonful
of chocolate into sufficient milk to
dissolve and add to the mixture.
Beat it thoroughly and set the dish
back upon the stove or in the double
boiler to cook till it thickens. Then
cool it and add little vanilla flavor
ing. When the custard is cold beat
in one quart of cream and freeze.
Frozen Pudding.-One quart of
milk, one pint of cream, six whole
eggs, the yolks of three eggs, one
and one-half cups of sugar, two ounc-
es each of preserved ginger green
cages and pineapple cut fine. Boil
the milk and cream and pour it on
the beaten eggs and sugar; cook
slightly and when cool add the fruit
and freeze the same as ice-cream.
Vanilla Ice Creane.-Put one pint
of milk into pail set in a kettle of
hot water or use a double boiler.
Beat two eggs, small half-cup of
flour, one cup of sugar, and when the
milk is boiling hot add to the mixture.
Boil about fifteen minutes, stirring
often. Take from the stove; add
one quart of cream, another cup of
sugar, and one and one-half tea
spoonfuls of vanilla. Stir well, and
set away to cool; then freeze.
