hoard of Agriculture.

The Gloucester County Board of Agri-
culture met at Mullica Hill last Saturday
afternoon.
Franklin Dye, of Tronton. Secretary of
the State Board of Agriculture, made an
informal address in which he talked about
the necessity of more intelligent and econ,
omical management on the farm and the
need Of conducting farm work on scientific,
not hap-hazzard principles. The margins
of profit among farmers were too uncertain
and variable to admit of careless husband
ry.
w. o. Garrison of Bridgcton also made
an address in which he advocated the use
of chemical fertilizers as more economical
than stable manure unless the latter was
at band and could be conveniently obtained.

We learn that a gang of sharpers, claim

gers Wholesale Supply Company has
been working adjoining counties. We
have before us a bill of groceries sold by
them, amounting to 1852, which any
reputable dealer would be glad to duplicate
for $1S and give first-class goods. They
also promised to send a barrel of sugar not
to cost over 7 cents per pound, which did
not come, and advised the farmers to hold
their butter until January, when it would
be worth 40 cents per pound. The goods
delivered were of ar inferior quality, and
the recipients threaten to kick the senders
off the premises should they show them
selves there again. They are not likely to
visit the same place twice, so we advise
the people of Sussex TO be on the lookout
for them. Do not make or sign any con-
tract with strapgers.-SusseG Herald.
The swindlers spent several weeks in
this county at Belvidere, Washington and
Hackettstown, and found a large number
of farmers green enough to be taken in and
pay almost double prices for inferior

= Hirtnaay Surprise celebration.

The friends and relatives Of Joseph +.
Heritage, who lives just over the line be-
tween Salem and Gloucester counties, on
Monday, the nth inst, agreeably sur
prised him on his forty-third birthday. 1t
had not occurred to Joseph on that day
that it completed for him the annual cir
cult of forty-three suns until about 3
O'Clock in the afternoon, being away back
on his farm from the house he noticed
twelve or fourteen carriages in procession
moving toward the end of his lane. When
too late not to be surprised they made a
descent upon him and unloaded contents
of carriages, which contained forty-fve or
fifty persons and much that was good to
partake of later. A very pleasant time
was experienced by all whose good fortune
il was to be guests.

The yendue season.

Farmers In this neighborhood are already
booking dates for vendues next spring.
There promises to be a large number of
vendues in this county mex spring.
Speaking of vendues reminds us OF what
we have for some time past intended to
call attention to, as it goes to show the
wisdom of some of the people hereabouts
if not elsewhere. The idea of a public
sale. as we understand it, is to keep the
matter as quiet as possible, and. therefore,
the less il is advertised the fewer will be
apt to know of it and tax the yendue
maker with their presence.
1t may be well to have a few small bills
printed or written, if there is much to
sell, but a good and economical plan
would be to avoid that expense and
trouble by giving out notice among the
neighbors. This would doubtless bring
together all you would want to see, par
ticularly if they should come before din
ner. Ii you should take the extrayagant
plan and get bills printed, be sure to put
them where, if they do get up for a day OF
SO, they won't stay up longer. They are
nice for the shopkeeper to wrap up segars
and soap in-leave all you can with each
one you visit.
BY all means, If you want to hold a
quiet safe, steer clear OF newspapers. ihey
get read, at least some of them do, and
the people will be sure to find Q out
and may come III droves and run the prices
Of your goods up away beyond their value
which might make you sick. We have
in our mind a sale of the quiet, ~speak-easy
order. which was held not many miles from
W~nodstown, where buyers had a picnic,
ami all because the sale was improperly
advertised. Some goods sold at one-tentt
their value. Therefore, ii You are con-
templsting holding a sale keep it quiet,
and the best way to do this is to keep ii
out of the county papers, or any other
paper that is printed near where the sale
Is To be held

Henry Gearse,sLnrk.

Chief Justice BeasIey, in Court of Errors
and Appeals on Tuesday read an opinion
declaring legal the bequest Oslo, 600 made
by the late George Hutchings, OF Glouces-
ter county, to Henry George FOR the pur-
pose of disseminating his doctrines as pub
lished in his works. Vice Chancellor Bird
had declared the bequest illegal because he
believed the doctrines of George were
against the law of the land.
The Chief Justice says the writings of
George are not opposed to religion, moral
ity or law, and he believes the circulation
of his books would do more to stimulate
thought with good results rather than to
create error. There was nothing in the
works incompatible with the law. He re-
ferred to George as an ingenious and learn
ed man, but he did not indorse his opinions.

the County Superintendent was called the

visit every school in his jurisdiction at
stated times. He called at the school il

it full until it became red hot, nor would
he allow a window raised or a pupil 10 go
out. One Of the large boys finally rose to
his feet and ordered the man to desist from
longer torturing the school in that manner.
He said the innocent young scholars should
not suffer with the guilty. The angered
instructor yielded to the command. By
request he afterwards resigned his position.

Mr.. Benz. Senior, on the road from
Hurffville to Cross Keys, is engaged in the
most novel business enterprise of any other
person in Gloucester county. He has es-
tablished a rabbit farm where he has
over one thousand of these interesting ami
mails, in all stages of existence, from the
size of your fist to big ones largerthan ma
ny dogs. The stock is made up of English
rabbits, Belgian hares, Angoras aud the
common Jersey .'cotton-tails," The rab-
bits are sold for pets, for eating, for breed
ing purposes, and for game" anda recent
move of Mr.. Seniors is to turn a certain
number of hares loose in the woods for
the benefit of sportsmen, who pay for the
privilege of thus hunting for a certainty
Next season it is thought quail will also
be added to this cunning stock, as he has
been requested by a number of gunners.
Another important branch of the business
is training bird dogs and hounds. which
can be done right there; dogs are also fur
nished to sportsmen who AUNT OF the

The weather during December, 1889, will
be very severe III the United States, Can
ada and most of Europe. Part of the time
it will be pretty stormy, with high winds,
and the rest of the time it will be very cold.
The precipitation will be in the form of
snow in nearly all of the Northern States
and Canada. 1t will be pretty heavy in
the Atlantic and Gulf States, but in the
interior the precipitation will tiuctuate, be-
ing heavy in some places and small in 9TH
ers, averaging normal. On the Pacific
coast the temperance and rainfall will aver
age about normal. The present moderate
spell, which l predicted for the middle of
November, will soon terminate, and winter
weather will begin by the 18th of Novem-
