the outside ends ofthe ties the whole length
of the platform. The remains We're hor-
ribly ~mangled, the face being torn away
entirely. Coroner Beale empaneled q jury,
had the remains and situation viewed, and
at the inquest on Monday a verdict. of ac-
cidental death was rendered. interment
was made Thursday afternoon. Tbs fun
eral services took place in the Unionville
NJ. E. Church Sunday morning. The de-
ceased was seventy-eight years old and was

yKnling 70 ob,igc me Jury.

An amusing line was spoken in Judge
Garrison's court in Camden the other day.
A gawky plaintiff was on the witness
stand, and, instead of speaking so that the
jury could hear him. he persisted in numb
ling his answers to his counsel. Finally
the Judge said: "Will You kindly speak
so that these gentlemen can hear you p
pointing the jury. The copntryman turn
cd around and found the twelve men all in
an attitude Of strained attention. His face
thereuDon lighted up with a hall-grateful
and half-hattered expression, and he re-
piled: ''yVhy, certainly. Are they inter
ested in my case i" And from this point
on he made a better witness, feeling, as he
did, that he had an audience that wanted
to listen to him.

Since publishing a few weeks ago a com
munication from our valued correspondent
'Pantsinboots, in which reference was
made to a certain Farmer g." and a sus-
p~icious occurrence with which rumer had
connected his name, we have heard the ar
ticle criticised by persons who thought the
writer had been misinformed as to the facts
in the case. We have no desire to do any
one an injustice, much less to malign the
memory of one who has been called to his
last account. and we are sure that Pants
inboots, " who is most careful and eonseien-
tious, had no other object in view than a
truthful report of a rumor that had been
widely discussed. 1t is but just to our
correspondent to state that we have since
received a communication, which we are
at liberty to publish if necessary, written
by one who c~orroborates, from personal
knowledge, the article in question, inso-
much as concerns the disposition and cruel
nature of ''Fariner g." as described by

uorribie Accident.

While Thomas Carney, of Pedricktosn,
was engaged in moving yesterday, Thomas
Jr.. his eleven-year-old son, was thrown
from the wagon on which he was riding
and instantly killed. The team on which
the lad was riding belonged to a neighbor,
who had sent his hired man to assist Mr..
Carney in moving, and the wagon was
heavily loaded with goods and also con-
tanned Mr.. Carney's wife and children.
After crossing the bridge outside of Ped
ricktown the miles became unmanageable
and the hired man, in his endeavors to
check them, was thrown down on the
tongue, and while in this position the lad
in some manner fell underneath the wheels,
which passed over his head, crushing the
skull. The team was stopped as soon as
they could be got under control, and the
medical aid of DR.. Ware instantly sum-
moned, but before he could arrive the poor
boy had died. The cause of death being
clearly as stated above, an inquest was not
thought necessary.

Lightning has struck twice
in one spot.
Five months ago we told you
of 90 cent colored heavyweight
French Cashmere at 80 cents.
A most unlikely happening. All
we could get went over the
counters about as fast as yards
could be measured and cut.
What wonder? They were from
the looms of one of the best
Cashmere makers in the world,
Twas like giving 65 cents in
gold for half dollar.
But here it is again The
same weight Cashmere, from the
same maker, and again at so
cents.
Not a whisper of the makers
name. That's part of the trade.
But if you know the best col
ored Cashmeres you won't guess
more than twice. No better
goods of the weight can be had
at any price.

We overheard last week on one Of the
trains on the railroad a somewhat novel
discussion between a prominent resident
of Swedesboro and a native of Virginia,
both of whom were in the late war, but
served on opposite sides. The two men
had never met before, but were discussing
in a friendly the battles in which
they had participated, in many of which
they had been pitted against each other.
