The discovery OF two small boys playing.
with matches back of o b keen's barn one
afternoon last week, probably prevented a
conhagration. Around a heap of rubbish close
to the building were found over a dozen
h~alf-burned matches with which the boys had
tried TO start a fire. One of the lads was
made painfully aware of the fact that it is
wrong TO play with matches. but his COM

A Bright Prospect.

While many branches of business are
dull and factories closed up for want Of
sale for their products it would seem that
building operations were never more lively
than at present, not only in the larger
cities but in country towns and villages as
well. Carpenters, bricklayers and plas-
terers don't have to go begging for work,
as there is more of the work than there Is
of them. All our carpenters and builders
in Woodstown are busy. and it is safe to
say that both Mr.. Parker and Mr.. Stretch
could find work for several more good
hands if they could get them, but they are
not to be had. 1t would seem that people
have the money to build with and have
confidence in the future, and it is a good
thing all around as it helps to put money
in circulation. The man who has a lot of
work. people don't know how much good
the money does that be pays out on pay
days outside of the immediate circle that
he paws it to,

ABOUT Dogs.

We hear a good deal of complaint from
residents of our Borough abont dogs that
are allowed to run at large. In the first
place there are too many dogs in the town.
What some people want with 8 or 4 dogs
about them is more than we are ID TO
find out. 1t would seem as if some like to
keep them for the privilege of paying tax
for them. Now a good dog in the right
place, and with the proper kind of care
taken with him, is a very, very good ami
MAJ to ave around. There are some of
our citizens who take pride in having nice
gardens and lawns, and for them to have
Co endure being bothered with such nui-
sances is an outrage. 1t seems that some
people seem perfectly satisfied if they have
a dog that takes delight in making use OF
other peoples property. They cannot APP
pear to understand why it is you are OPP
posed to their dog, WHICH they like so well,
running over your garden, tearing out
your vegetables, and digging holes 10
which to bury bones. They have a sort
of an idea you ought 10 deem it an honor
for their dogs to be Fostering you. Now
this is not right. They would not like to
be bothered in the same way. What is
right for one Is right for all. Some also
have an idea that if yon have no front
fence you have no grounds for complaint.
The law does not compel anyone to put UP
a front fence; but it does compel people 70
keep all live stock of whatever kind on of
others under penalty of fine. 1t is very
seldom anyone is fined on account OF daEu-
age lone by dogs, but it can be done new
ertheless. There are few persons that
care to be so ungentlemanly as TO make
such a fuss. Every one who own dogs,
ought to be considerate enough to keep
their animals from molesting other people.
We think it would be a good thing TO have
the law, that compels people TO keep their
dogs muzzled, enforced, FOR it is not a
proper thing, anyway, for dogs to be run
ming everywhere unattended by their mas
tiers, and no muzzIe npon them. We hope
people who own dogs will please keep
them of Of people that doa't want them.

b 0 the weather.

In answer to the statement that the pres
ent spring is three weeks earlier than last
spring q correspondent Of the Philadel-
phia Star says:
In comparing records kept by your
weather correspondent, of the two spring
seasons referred to in their forwardness at
this time, of the month of April, very little
difference will be found in their thermal
conditions.
Last April a year ago. on the 9th, spring
overcoats were more comfortable than heavy
%oyercoats. April 18th, thunder and light
ming storms throughout the State. April
18th, leaves putting out on horse chestnut,
naples, willow trees. etc. The grass green,
magnolia trees in full bloom. April 10th,
splits of snow. April 10Th, a balmy spring
day, magnolia blossoms disappeared. April
90, spring overcoats desirable morning
and evening. April 26th and 9th. storm
at Atlantic City damaged bath houses, etc.
A cool summer is predicted for this year.

Trip TO London.

A most enjoyable trip to London was
experienced by all who were at the Baptist
Chapel last Friday evening. The weather
was unfavorable, but it did not interfere in
the least with the pleasure of the trip.
Pastor r. r. Albin, of the Baptist Church,
acted as guide. Having spent twenty-five
years in the great city he was thoroughly
acquainted with it and knew just the
places to take his listeners. While the
party regretted not being able to see Queen
Victoria they highly enjoyed the visit to
the Buckingham Palace, her abode. Also
to st. James where she presides over the
Court. The famous London bridge was
crossed and Hyde Park visited. The mag
nifcent Crystal Palace and the whispering
gallery were very interesting. The lee
ture will be concluded next Friday even
ing, in the Baptist Church.
