sons" All are cordially invited.
The Children's Day service at the NJ. L.
church was as usual very good. The mu-
sic under the leadership Of Messrs. Cunard
and McAllister was excellent, Mr.. Cunard
accompanying the organ with the cornet.
The young men of the school acted as
ushers in a very creditable manner Miss
A. Abbott, Supt., presided with her usual
grace. Mr.. Eberhardt, pastor, gave a few
remarks, the foundation of which was to
go on in the coed way. The service was
very interesting, and enjoyed by all.
The services on Sunday in the BAPTIST
church both morning and evening were es-
pecially interesting. The morning service
was especially given for and by the chill
dren. The programme arranged by the
Baptist Publication Society was closely
carried out. The singing by the school
was fine and the attendance of the members,
each in their place, was worthy of notice.
The children deserve credit for the man
ner in which they rendered the parts given
them in the service. The Supt., Mr.. Joseph
Broadway, assisted by Mr.. Mahlon Dickin-
SOP and Mr.. Joseph Turner conducted the
service in a pleasing manner. The evening
service under the direction of the Christian
Endeavor Society was excellent. While
every part was worthy of note, every one
should have heard the recitation t'The old
man in the stylish church" by Miss Lizzie
Foster, who is III excellent speaker. The
exercise was chiefly of music, Rotations
and raadinUe

The rosebugs have attacked Robert
Moore'G farm, in Cumberland county. Last
week not one was to be seen until Satur-
day, when there were a few, and on Mon
day tho air was full Of them and nearly
everything green OF the place was attack
ed. Not at all particular are the bugs as
TO what they eat and alike the corn, pota-
toes, straw berries and peaches arc de-
voured. The peach tress are heavy with
peaches and the bugs are destroying them
all; all of the pests that can, get on each
peach, and in a few days there will be
none. Millions OF the pests are about and
there is no known way Of getting clear OF
OF them. This is the only farm attacked
in the vicinity thus far.

ola cannon.

a fruitful subject Of conversation during
the past week has been the action of resi-
dents of Bridgeton in obtaining possession
of the old cannon that has for many years
been in the keeping Of the Salem county
military authorities. The cannon, which
was one of three formerly in the keeping
Of the county, was brought to this county,
so We are informed by Col. J. w. Dickin-
son, Of our borough, ia the year 1915,
along with another, which has since been
removed to Salem, where it still remains.
The piece bears the date 1863 and is Yalu-
able for its historical associations, having
been captured by Napoleon from the Ital-
ians, then taken from the French army by
the British, from whom it was captured by
Americans during the war Of 1919, at the
battle of Plattsburg, N. Y.
Col. Dickinson, who is the surviving
member Of the Salem County Brigade
Board. the organization under WHOSE
charge the cannon had been for many
years, is Justly indignant over its removal
in such manneg from the armory in Pitts
grove, and as soon as he heard Of the oc-
currence, wrote to Quarter-Master Perrine
protesting against such disposition of the
cannon. The following is a copy Of the
reply received on Tuesday:

The sufferers in the flooded valley in
Pennsylvania found q ready response on
the part Of Swedesboro citizens. About a
dozen boxes Of dry goods have been sent
off, containing all sorts Of articles needed
at such an emergency. The cash eontribu-
tons will run up to nearly 800.
Our neighboring village of S~harptown
contributes in cash to the Johnstown fund
fifty dollars, and is to be congratulated on
its liberality. We doubt if any village Of
its size has outdone it in giving. They
have some good metal over there and when
they start out they generally aget there"
The people of Elmer were given an OPP

LONDON, May IA, 1889. Considerable
discussion has been aroused in The various
European capitals lately by the bel
Igerent tone assumed by the Russian and
German press toward Switzerland on ac-
count of the liberty allowed by thatancient
confederation to the Socialist and Nihilist
refugees within it's borders. Doubtless
the diatribes almost daily hurled against
the Swiss government are intended
merely to intimidate the Swiss into taking
steps toward the repulsion of the hordes
of plotters against royalty and society
who have betaken themselves to Switzer-
land to escape long terms OF
imprisonment or to save their necks, but
there is still less doubt that both the
Gar and the Kaiser nave more h a once
prising the little republic, and would
gladly add its acres to their already
enormous domains if they dared.
In this view the current of discussion
runs toward a careful calculation of the
chances of the successful issue OF an at
tack upon Switzerland by one or even both
of the powers named. England would
certainly not permit such a move
without a formidable protest and
Frances interests under her present
form of government lie in the direction of
the preservation of the integrity of the
only really successful European govern
ment by the people, to say nothing of the
other considerations which would
influence her action in a mat
ter in which Germany was deep
ly concerned. Even Austria and Italy,
subservient as they are to Germany,
would hardly countenance an invasion of
Switzerland, and many Europeans be-
lieve that the United States, though in no
way interested in the internal affairs of
Europe, would, from sentimental motives,
interpose her veto of the act of vandalism
which would cause the overthrow of the
Swiss Confederation and the annexation
of it's territory.
Then, too, the people of Switzerland are
to be considered in such a contingency,
and not lightly. The peacefully inclined
Swiss government might possibly submit
to a mild degree of coercion applied
by the stronger powers for the pur-
pose of compelling the expulsion of plot
ting Socialists, Anarchists, Nihillsts and
the like rather than be drawn into armed
conflict with its n%eighbors, but the mem
DRY of the countless victories of the Helve-
tians in years long gone by. ending in
the recognition of Swiss independence
the world over, is still fresh in the
mountaineer is just as brave and
unconquerable today lis he was hundreds
of years ago, and with the assistance
which would surely be forthcoming at the
outset of any attempt to subdue Switzer-
and, that country could successfully
resist any foe, and the perpetuation of the
confederation and its hospitality to the
stranger who seeks refuge within its Dor
ders is therefore assured.
