That unstamped polar.

Since the MONITOR of last week publish
ed the fact Of the finding by CashierFlitcraft
OF an unstamped or blank dollar among a
bag containing $1,000 that had been re-
ceived by the First National Bank from
Philadelphia mint, the Philadelphia papers
have commented on this singular occur-
renee, and the CAL of Wednesday evening
contained the following:
In speaking of the report published IN one
of this mornings papers that the cashier of
the First National Bank of Woodstown, Nj. =,
had found one blank dollar in a bag supposed
to contain 1000 stamped dollars, SupeIinten-
dent of the Mint Fox said: 81 can't conceive
of such u thing. l have not heard anything
from the authorities of the bank. and it is very
probable that they would Immediately inform
me and make an effort to get a stamped one
in its place. The story seems quite improba-
BILE, as the blank dollars can in no way become
mixed with the stamped ones, as they never
come in contact with each other after the
stamping has begun. So l can pretty safely
say that there is not much, if anything, in
that story
While the story nay seem improbable
to Superintendent Fox, it is true, never
theless, and can be verified by a number
of persons who have seen the coin, which
Mr.. Flitcraft will probably keep as a
curiosity.

A number of petitions to the Board of

A Child Burned TO Death.

Richard, son of Richard L. and Hannah
Crispi1, aged about three and a hall years,
living near Woodstown, was fatally burn
ed on Wednesday afternoon. ar. Crispin
wasin Woodstown at the time and Mrs.
Crispin had left the house to attend to
something outside, leaving the child in the
room in company with its younger brother
and elder sister. The sister had left the
room when it was attracted by the screams
of her little brother, and hastily returning
discovered that in some manner his dress
had caught fire, and the little fellow was
enveloped in flames. She fastened to call
her mother, who ran to the house but too
late to save The child, as the clothes had
then been nearly burned off. The body,
from the knees up, had been burned aud
the arms of the child were charred from
the intense heat to which the flesh had
been subjected. Medical attendance was
summoned at once, but to no avail, as the
child lived but about three hours, retaining
consciousness during all this while, and
suffering intensely. 1t is supposed that
the sad accident was caused by the child's
clothes catching fire from some paper
which he was playing with, which caught
fire from the stove. The funeral viii take
place tomorrow.

An increase In varue.

The prices asked for lots and building
sites ground the business centre shows a
wonderful appreciation in values of real
estate, on the part Of holders at least.
The owner of the Ford hotel site, on which
the MONITOR office is situated, who paid
$1,000 for the entire plant a few years ago,
priced a lot to the Bank, on the corner
where w. P. Lippincott & Co.'S agricul-
tural warehouse stands, with a frontage of
30 feet and a depth of 70 feet, at $500.
This is probably double what it is worth,
but it is said that the institution would
pay $3.50 for it, which would seem to be
nearer its value. Even at that price, the
frontage Of the entire lot Cover a hundred
feet on Main street and fully as much on
Salem street,, at corresponding prices
would command a considerable sum of
money, leaving ample roc in the rear for
the livery, with large additions to what it
already has.

An interesting case occupied public at
tontion at Pennsgrove on Saturday last,
the subject matter being an investigation
of the alleged lunaey of Andrew Dolbow,
on a commission issued for that purpose
out of the Court of Chancery to Z. S.
Fogg, VIM. r. Garrison and II. II. De
Croft, commissioners. A jury of twenty
four men was summoned by VIM. Carney,
as Deputy for Sheriff Butcher, and the
hearing was had in the Odd Fellows Hall,
which was crowded with an interested au-
dience. r. S. Clymer. Esq, of Woodbury.,
represented the petitioner and G.. II. Sin
nickson, Esq, of Salem, the alleged lu-
matte. The investigation occupied the en-
tire day, 33 witnesses being examined,
and about 7 O'Clock the jury returned a
verdict that Mr.. Dolbow was of unsound
mind. This proceeding goes to the Court
of Chancery for further action.

Electric Lighting.

Mr.. Rennie, of the Westinghouse Elec-
trio Lighting Company, of New York, and
John NJ. Carpenter, of Salem, were in town
yesterday, comforting with some of our
principal citizens on the question of intro
ducing the electric light in orr Borough.
Mr.. Rennie stated that as long as the mat
ter of a water supply was being agitated,
the electric light could be introduced at
the same time, and both be operated by
the same plant, and at a comparative small
outlay. This is the same company that is
to supply Salem with the light. and the
company propose to subscribe to a large
proportion of the stock if a company can
be formed for the purpose. 1t is suggested
that a meeting of our citizens be called for
the purpose of looking into the matter.
when the company will send a repre-
sentative to explain the workings and fur
nish an estimate of the probable cost.
There is no good reason why Woodstown
should not fall in line and keep step with
the march of improvement.

The heavy rains this fall have totally
ruined crops in some localities, and its eff
feet is now being seen in diseases among
farm animals. Almost every day cases of
roup, swelled head and distemper very
disastrous among poultry are reported. A
part of this is also due to improper feeding.
Many persons think as soon as cold wealth
er comes on, they must begin to feed heat
ing food to their hens, like corn meal, &c.
The result of this course, is if they do not
break down from the disease prevalent,
they sooa get very fat, look fine and peo-
Pile wonder why they do not lay. You
cannot make a hen lay when everything
you give her is being transformed into fat,
