the affidavit drew almost altogether upon
his Imagination, and thus made Heller
contradict things he had never sworn to.
lie further argued that before any weight
was given to this affidavit, the Court must
be satisfied that it is an honest one, and
not the result Of a conspiracy. Mr.. Sin
nickson proceeded at length to show the
connection OF John Holmes and c. c.
Turner, Of Woodstown. with the case. and
pointed out the Inconsistencies of Holmes
testimony, and the fact that he had secur-
ed a resident Of Philadelphia, and a strang-
er in Woodstown, as a witness on the Hell
Ter affidavit, instead of getting a Woods
town man; and that Heller's signature was
written in a different kind Of ink. Besides,
Heller was made drunk on beer procured
by interested parties, and in this condition
he signed the affidavit and then was spirit
ed away L never has been seen in the
county since. He contended that such tes-
timony had been presented as to show a
conspiracy between interested Woodstown
parties. It would be dangerous to this
community to allow this Just and true YER
dict to be set aside.
Judge Pancoast, in behalf of the State,
in opposing the application for a new trial,
asked what difference the note passed by
Constable Coles had upon the case, when
one ofthe prisoners owncounsel said in the
morning, that the verdict Of the jury was
just with the evidence before them. Shall
this verdict be set aside because some one
in darkness and crookedness got one of the
States witnesses to swear falsely and then
spirited him away? Judge Pancoast made
a general review of the testimony, showing
that the contradictory affidavit made by
Heller denied what he never swore to at
the trial before this Court. The affidavit
seems to have been made under the direc-
ton of Squire Holmes, who, after the cleo
ton in Woodstown, seems to have been
against the State IN its efforts to unearth
the crime. To Mr.. Potter's question of
"Where is Heller?' Dir. Pancoast replied.
'"The devil only knows-exeept it be
Squire Holmes!'' IF we could have an
other trial with Heller in the case, we
should not SO strongly object; but the
prisoners counsel do not want another
trial except with Heller out.
The Court took the papers in the case,
and reserved decision.
John Harkins, convicted at the October
term, of assault and battery. was sentenced
to State Prison, at hard labor, for one year,
the Court telling the prisoner that he was
a nuisance.
Clinton Robinson, convicted of keeping
a quart place at Woodstown, and allowing
drinking on the premises, was sentenced
to pay a fine of $500 and costs, to stand
committed until the same was paid.
John Heritage, who pleaded guilty to
keeping a disorderly house al Elmer, was
sentenced to seven weeks in county Jail, to
run from date of commitment, and to pay
a fine Of $50 and costs. Heritage has been
in Jail seven weeks, and his sentence, as to
time, expired after sentence.

Potatoes, while not quite a drug in the

price to q very low notch, . said a large
dealer in the tubers on Saturday, in reply
to a reporters question asto the condition
of the potato market. He also says that
he estimates the crop IN the United States
this year at 235, 000. 900 bushels, an increase
Of 100, 600, 600 bushels over the crop of last
year, and enough to give every man, wo-
man and child nearly q bushels each. lie
gives as reasons for this extraordinarily
large crop increased acreage, prompted by
the short crop Of last year, the natural in
crease of ground coming into cultivation,
and the more favorable weather during the
growing season.

r.nrrfsonviiIe Notes

Last Monday was a great day among the
turkeys. Our dealers, Allen and Wrig-
gins, both bought that day for Thanksgiv-
ing. The price paid was high, and the
number bought was something astonishing.
This large number viii do something to
make the people realize that Thanksgiving
comes around once in the year.
The public school is closed for the
Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday and
Friday.
The trustees of the school have purchas-
ed for use therein, a set of Bradley's Charts
of the Human Body.
Several of people killed hogs last
Monday. Some of the porkers were fine
specimens. The people around here know
how to raise good hogs. If you don't be-
lieve it, we can give you a few facts. A
certain ~inhabitant of the town bought a
pig which weighed 81 pounds at the time
of purchase. Well, he kept the Young
porker about six months when he decided
to have a hog-killing. Atthat time, not only
the owner, but others, were surprised to
find that his perkship had grown so much
that he tipped the beam at the enormous
weight of 70 pounds. That was what we
call a heightened pig, too. Why, sir, he
would refuse to eat anything unless it was
chicken, or something OF similar character.
There has, of late, been a big improve
ment made in the appearance of the town.
The residences of John virgins, VIM.
Ladow, and John Scott have been treated
with fresh paint, and some others are talk
ing Of going and doing likewise. Let the
good work continue.
George Hitcheus, our genial barber, is
making quite a success of his oyster bust
ness which he has opened in connection
with the barbeIing. He supplies the fam.
lilies Of the community with good oysters
at fifty cents a hundred. He keeps a good
supply on hand and will treat you pleas
antly and give you the worth of your
money should yen give him a call at Wrig-
gins old store.

secrecy in Printing Onicos.

A properly conducted printing Office is
as much a secret as q Masonic lodge. The
printers are not under oath of secrecy, but
always feel themselves as truly in honor
bound to keep the office secrets as though
triple-oathed. An employe in a printing
office who willingly d~isregards this rule IN
relation to printing Office secrets would
not only be scorned by brethren OF the
craft. but would lose his position at once.
We make this statement because it some
times happens that a communication APP
pears in a newspaper under an assumed
signature which excites comment. and
various persons try to find out who is the
author. Let all be saved the trouble of
questioning the employees Of the printing
office. They are know nothings on
such subjects as these. On such matters
they have eyes and ears, but 10 mouth,
and If they fail to observe this rule, let
them be put down as dishonorable mem-
beers of the craft. 1t is the same in job
printing. If anything is to be printed and
kept secret, let proper notice be given OF
the desire for secrecy, and you might as
well question the Sphinx as one OF the
printers.

Argument was heard on the rule to show
cause why a new trial should not be granted
in the case Of Michael Whalen, convicted at
May term for the burning of f. 8. Hum
phreys' barn, at Woodstown, in March
last. Col. W. i. Potter, of B~ridgeton,
and J. W. Acton, of Salem, appeared for
Wlalen, and G. II. Sinniekson, of Salem,
and David j.. Paucoast, Of Camden, acted
in conjunction with Prosecutor Shape for
the State.
The testimony in support Of a new trial,
recently taken. before a Master inChancery,
was goLe over by Col. Potter. Included
in it was the affidavie of Jacob Heller, a
witness for the State, setting forth that he
had sworn falsely in the trial, to get The
reward offered, which has already been
published. as well as the main facts set
forth in this testimony. The reasons why
a new trial is asked for are, first, because
the verdict was rendered in the absence of
both the prisoner and his counsel; second,
improper communication with jury; the
other reasons being newly discovered evil
denee, that the verdict was against both
law and evidence.
Col. Potter, in his argument for a new

a Sensational Rumor.

Our attention has been called to an ar
ticle published ia a recent issue of the
South ~JeYseyBaaB. headed "a Serious Of
fence" having reference to a young mar
ried couple in Woodstown, the particulars
of which were evidently published before
inquiry was made as to the truth Or falsity
of the information. We are requested to
state that the facts Of the article as pub
lished are false, and the true particulars
as far as it is necessary to make them pub
lie are as follows: The physician in at
tendance did not arrive at the house until
half an hour after the occurrence, when he
found that the child had been born under
peculiar circumstances, and had died from
suffocation at the moment Of birth. There
being no evidence that the child had ever
breathed after being born, he made ont a
certificate of still-birth, in accordance with
the law provided III such cases.

1t would be judicious on the part of our
friends to read the following over carefully
and then act accordingly:
A well-known doctor says that the fumes
of kerosene, when q lamp is turned low,
are likely to cause diphtheria. The New
York board of health a few years ago de-
cided that to this, more than any other
cause, the prevalence Of this disease was
to be attributed. This is given as account
ing for the fact that d%iphtheria generally
begins to spread with the advent of short
days and long nights Children dislike to
go to bed in the dark, and the kind mother
lets the lamp remain in the bedroom,
usually turning down the flame, so that
the light shall not keep the child awake,
Many bedrooms are thus semi-lighted all
night, and the windows being closed OF
raised but slightly, the atmospheric condi-
ton is simply deathly. 4 turned down
kerosene lamp is a magazine of deadly gas
that the healthiest lungs cannot safely be
pxpOSpd to.

The narm of an Editors fife.

One of the beauties and charms of an
editors life is his dead-heading it on all
occasions. No one who has never tasted
the sweets of that bliss, cap begin to take
in his glory and happiness. He does 500
worth of advertising fo- a railroad COM
pany, gets a ''pass" for q year, rides S25:
and then he is looked upon as a dead-beat.
He ''puffs' a concert troupe $40 worth.
and gets a dollar in ''eomplimentaries }"
and is thus passed ''free.'' If the hall is
crowded he is b egrudged the room he oc-
cupies, for if bis complimentaries were
paying tickets the troupe would be so much
more in pocket. He blows and puffs a
church festival to any desired extent, and
does the poster printing at half rates, and
merely gets a "thank you" for it. 1t goes
as part of his duty as an editor. lie does
more work gratutiously for the town and
community than all the rest of the popula-
ton put together, and get curses for it all,
while in many instances where a maj do
mates a few dollars for the fourth of July,
a base ball club or a church, he is CRATE
fully remembered. He passes free, you
know.
