the day was appropriately observed,
and many trees were planted.

Rev. DR.. Conn, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church, gave a tea on Thurs
day afternoon from 5 until 7 o'clock,
to the members of his church and con-
gregation. The DR.. announced on last
Sunday that he would sever his con
nection with the church as pastor, to
take effect on the first Of May. We
are sorry to chronicle the above

warm friends while laboring among us

wish him success in his new field Of
labor.
Edwin M. Brock, of Bridgeboro, APP
peared before Justice Clevenger ON
Monday morning, and made complaint
against Elwood P. Austin, a coal and
lumber dealer of the same place, for
forging the formers name upon promis-
sorry notes, one for 1874, the other for
1923. Mr.. Austin was arrested and
taken to Mt. Holly, when he waived
hearing, and went before the Judges
of the court, then in session, and enter
ed bail for $1,000 to appear at the
term of court, William N.
Hubbs of Bridgeboro going his bail.
Mr.. Austin denies the charge.
On Sunday afternoon between II
and 1890 o'clock while the hired help
of General Grubb were at dinner,
sneak thieves entered the tenant house
and carried off $40 in cash and about
$500 in jewellery belonging to the
French cook and a new dress suit of
his waiter. The trunks and bureau
drawers were ransacked and the con-
tents strewn about the floor. 1t is
supposed they beat a hasty flight from
the porch roof as marks made by
their shoes were shown on the tin roof.
The police officers of this city were
notified. No clew of the robbers has
been found as yet.
