AS the appointment of VIM. b. French,
for postmaster of Woodstown, made some
time since by President Cleveland, was not
confirmed by the Senate, it is probable that
some of the candidates for that position,
now on the anxious bench, may have their
minds put at rest within a few months. g. =
The streets were lined with teams last
| Saturday afternoon. Some people who
had shopping to do near the centre of the
town were obliged to leave their teams far
away from the business part of the Dor
ough. Verify Woodstown is coming to the
front, and it might be well to keep this

weeks ago, was driven to q distillery a few
miles from the town by some companions

senses he found that a sur OF money,
amounting to about $500, had been alb

The entertainment given by Hi Henry's

All who missed hearing the lecture given
by Rev. James w. Putnam in the Baptist
| Church on Tuesday evening missed a treat.
| Mr.. Putnam is a very interesting speaker,
and his description of his "Rambles among

instructive. Mr.. Putnam gave some very
amusing incidents connected with his
travels. His lecture deserved a better ar-
dience.
Young men cannot gather useful knowl-
edge lingering at street corners or lettering
along the curbstones of a ~thoroughfare at
night. Apprentices who work all day mis-
take what is rest or recuperation after hard

| streets. The best rest for a workingman
or a boy is always found at home, with q
| newspaper or a book in hand. gathering
useful information and knowledge from
each.
There are thirty-seyen members of the
New Jersey Conference who would be
compelled to move, having served their
respective charges for three years, if it
were not for the change in the time limit
from three to five years. Out of that num-
Der it cannot be definitely known how
many will change until the appointments
are read. Presiding Elders also have the
benefit of two additional years, their Office
being now for a limit of six years.
"It is pleasant to recall now" says a
writer, 1.-THE representations of the wealth
er prophets, last November, that this
would be a winter of Arctic severity. In
Dakota they have had a little seasonable
weather, but picnics with busters and straw
hats have been in order occasionally. The
old New Jersey settler who told about
muskrats putting storm-doors on their
holes and depositing four tons of coa in
their cellar last fall, has lost his prestige,
but he will come to the fore again next
winter as usual"
