A meeting of the West Jersey Presby-
terry was held in the First Presbyterian
church, Camden, on Tuesday. Rev. J. A.
MeGowan, formerly pastor of the Glou-
cester City church, was dismissed to the
Hudson ~Presbytery, New York. Rev.
William Boyd was elected Moderator of
the session during the vacancy of the pas
torate. The pastoral relations of Rev. II.
i. Thomas, of the Greenwich church,
Cumberland county, were, at his request,
ordered dissolved after May 18th. The
organization of the German church, az
Liberty Park, was reported and the church
was ordered to be placed on the roll. A
committee. consisting of Revs. William
Barnard, d. d., S. w. Beech and Elder
David w. Moore, was appointed to visit
the churches which are receiving aid from
the S~ustentation Fund with a view to re-
lieving the fund by urging upon the
churches the necessity, as far as possible,
of self support. Work was reported as
progressing among the colored people of
Camden. The next meeting is to be held
at Bridgeton.

The ice GFGD.

Owing to the unusual mildness Of the
season there is some alarm about the pos
sible failure of the ice crop in these parts.
But there is 10 necessity for a scare as yet.
Last year ice cutting did not commence
generally until about the third week in
January. February proved the coolest
month OF the winter, and the dams were
closed with thick ice until April. During
the past Is OF 18 years the ice crop was
often harvested later than January. -Four
years ago there was no ice until February.
The winter thus far has been like that OF
1876 when there no ice at all save that
on one occasion there was a formation to a
thickness of 5 inches. It existed for but a
few hours however, for during the after
noon succeeding the night of its growth a
warm rain fell, and by the next morning it
had all disappeared. Since then there have
been shortages in the annual crop, but no
total failure.

The stars will shine their brightest dur
ing the coming month. The greatest at
traction will be the planet Venus, shining
before sunset and setting at $50 o'clock in
the evening. 1t is rapidly approaching
this globe and increasing in size and bril-
liancy. On February 18th Venus will have
attained her greatest distance from the sun,
after which she will retraee her steps.
Saturn Will rise in the early evening after
February 9Th and shine with a steady pale
light until the streaks of early dawn.
Mercury, with his old-time tricks of tickle
ness, will pose during the early portion of
the month as an evening star, while during
the latter half he will reverse his tactics
and become the morning star. Inthe early
part of the month Mercury can be seen
three-qRarters of an hour after sunset in the
western sky, giving forth a light similar in
color to that of Sirius. Another evening
star in February will be Mars, which will
set in the north three hours after old Sol
goes to rest. Jupiter will appear tie most
conspicuous object in the morning sky, and
will appear about fear hours ahead of the
sun. Uranus will also shine in the MORN
ing during February. The moon quarters
first on February 7, is full on February
Is, and has a last quartering or February
%, making but three changes in the month,
q somewhat unusual occurrence. The moon
will be furthest from the earth on Febru-
airy 0 and nearest on February "a. The
sun begins the month at 1.GS in the morn
ing, and will set at 80 this evening.

Richman Coles, manager of the Piles
grove Dairy Association, in answer to a
letter Of inquiry, has received official mott
fication from Revenue Collector Ferrell,
that the use of butter coloring containing
oil subjects all creameries using the same
to a special tax of 5000, and a revenue of
two cents per pound for butter in which
such coloring matter is used. In conse-
quence, the creamery has discontinued the
use of coloring matter in their butter, as
have also the proprietors of the Hickman
town and Harrisonville creameries.

House Ixuntlng Time.

House hunting has commenced and the
usual trouble and annoyance is Inexperienced
by those who are SO unfortunate as to have
the dreadful tearing-up time come to them.
The greatest annoyance at this season is
the .swaiting for another's decision A
man gives up his house on the first of JAM
uary and he makes application to a land
lord who has a suitable house to rent.
The landlord generally tells him he does
not know whether his present tenant is
going to stay or not, but the applicant can
have first chance. Time goes on, he sees
the landlord and again receives the same
answer. All this time the house-hunting
man is losing opportunities of renting a
suitable place because he is kept waiting
and it generally turns out that the present
occupant sshas made up his mind to stay
and the applicant "gets left" If it was
made a rule that every tenant should de-
eide the question on the LIST of January il
would lift a weight of burden and
anxiety from the heart OF many a house
hunting man.

Lean Wear In 1900.

Although the year 1909 will be divisible
by four without 4 remainder, it will not be
leap year. Twelve years must elapse be-
fore the interesting event takes place, but
it was just the same in 1900 and 100, but
not in 1000. for that was a leap year, and
the year 1000 will be a leap year also.
Why this should be is a problem. To ex-
plain in detail would be a tiresome task, but
it rests on the principle that y difference OF
II minutes per day exists between actual
time and calendar time. Thus a year is
computed at 1851 days, three years being
365 days long and the fourth year 366 days.
In fact the year is 365 days . hours and 45
minutes long or II minutes short OF 1861
DAYS.

Tine Moss Family

The entertainments given in the Opera
House on Monday evening was'the second
visit ofthe Moss Family to our town, and the
large audience present was highly pleased
and voted the show even better than on its
former visit. If there is any instrument in
the musical line which some one or other
in this family inc play, or if there is any
combination of sounds, out Of which har-
mony may be brought, that they cannot
master. we don't know what or where it is.
Little Bertha is a marvel-self possessed as
an iceberg, but full of viyacity and equal
to a whole evenings entertainment in her
self. The character sketches were laugh
able, the local hits appreciated, the band
and orchestra music irst-class, and the
whole entertainment one of the best ever
seen in Woodstown.

Anofner View of the Butter Oosorimg
law.

In a recent communication from Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Miller the
Farm and Fireside says he distinctly states
that his office has never ruled that the
coloring of butter renders it liable to tax
under Internal Revenue laws; and he fur
Their states that in the law in question,
which was passed August I'd, 1886, butter
is defined to be "a food product usually
know as butter, and which is made exclu-
sively from cream, or milk, or both; with
or without common salt, and with or with
out additional c~oloring matter"
The law distinctly recognizes the fact
that the use of butter color is necessary
and lawful, and there need be nc fear on
the part of any maker of butter that the
United States law will ever be used against
them because of their making use of but
ter color.
