Inauguration should not faii TO engage
passage on the Greenwich. Some Of
u citizens went down for four days
visit once, when nothing special was
going on, and the necessary expenses Of
the trip were $25.
A young thief, whom II Is thought 10
known, took M umbrella, Belonging to
VIM. johnson. and q pair Of overshoes,
belonging to Rev. j.. M. Atkinson,
from Emmanuel church last Sunday

Ia In ST. Psuls church the same evening

IL has been two weeks since the bar
Mt French,s hotel closed in Penn's
Grove and some OF u citizens are re-
porting ours as u very dry town. not
understanding the river is near. It Is
said that some are 50 dry that dust is
Hying out Of them. and others, 1t is
said, have an opium joint TO soothe
their inner feelings. We have to make
some allowance for these reports as we
all know some are not In their accus-
toned MUD. However, n observant
townsman informed us he had seen but
one drunken man on the street since
the town went dry ami he came from
L
Wilmington, while 1t was not an unus-
al thing to nee such every day before 1t
went dry. Some one said last Satur-
day night; 'Did You see ---.
He was all dressed up with u white
shirt on. 1 never saw him look 30 fine
until our town went dry"
A Correspondent to the Woodbury.
Consultation has the following merited
tribute about one of u der. rted
townsmen: "John N. Springer, a
scholarly farmer and politician, was
buried at tile Friends burying ground
ut Pediicktown, on the 18th inst.
Strange to say, his mind gave out first,
a thing that does not often happen to
the learned, for l notice the thinkers
and the cultured carry u vigorous intel
lect a long way downthe inclined plane
Of life. But like the aged widow wom-
en-, be could say, 81 am an old hem
lock, dead at top" He was educated
vt Woodbury. aud Gummere's school at
Burlington. Mr.. Springer was proven
hially truthful and hoEest--in fact, he
was above suspicion, and raised soma
that ARE going rapidly to the front IN
moral reforms. He was authority OH
political questions, and could figure w
county votes 10 beat them all. He was
u member Of the Legislature, elected
by old time Wings. He was n walking
library and y great newspaper reader,
having taken the Saturday Ecening
Post oyer Fifty years. His grand and
beautiful life corroborates the Scripture
aphorism-s'a good name is rather to
be chosen than great riches"

The denunciations in the daily pa.
pers The past week of the Order of Iron
Hall raised considerable comment
among our citizens. The members Of
the Order IN Ped,icktown laugh at the

venom of badly pinched Insurance
Companies, and think it will result as
y good advertisement at the expense Of
the Insurance Companies.
