An exchange ventures the prediction
that the sweet girl graduate who has
Just read her essay on "The Duties of
Children to Their Parents" will more
than likely put in the Summer s~olstice
reading novels and swinging in a ham
mock while her mother does the house
work.
An electrician says there is very
little use of lightning rods and other
conductors, for if the electricity in a
storm cloud has reached sufficient ten
sion to overcome the resistance offered
to its passage to the earth it will dis
charge at that point and at that time
and no human effort or continuance
can change its course.
A number of our residents went to
Neshaminy Falls, last Sunday, to hear
the grand cornet solos of Levy, the
sacred concert by the Winkler Band,
the singing of the Alabama Jubilee
Coterie, &c. A grand display of fire.

Anyone receiving a deed acknow-
lodged by a commissioner of deeds
should carefully examine the list of
commissioners and see that the persons
who took the acknowledgement has
authority to take it. The terms of 435
commissioners have recently expired
and not been renewed because of no
joint meeting of the Legislature.
We are glad to acknowledge that
the farmers had four capital haying
days last week. They were taken adj
vantage of, too, and the cheerful and
promising song of the mower sprang
from many fields. The harvest is now
about ready for the reaper, and during
the past week many acres of grain was
gathered.
A movement is on foot to erect a
chapel OF the lot adjoining st. Steph-
ems Church, to be used for the Sunday
School. The scholars have been fur
nished with cards representing a brick
wall, each brick which is perforated on
the receipt of a dime. We expect in
the hear future to see asuitable build
ing under course of construction.
The Beverly Band rendered Il sere-
made to City Surveyor Stokes and
bride nee Miss Pelletier, at their home
at "Eastbourne," on Tuesday evening
after their return home from their
wedding trip. After playing several
selections the members of the band
and assembled friends were invited into
the house and enjoyed an excellent re-
past.
We call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of a select concert,
to be given in the Odd Fellows Hall,
on Wednesday evening, July 9th, at s
o'clock, for the benefit of St. Joseph's
Church. No doubt, this will be the
event of the season and all should
take this opportunity to attend, as
frst-class artists will appear on this
occasion.
Governor Albeit has appointed
Nathan Haines of Burlington, and
Henry ]. Trick of Southampton, as

made upon the recommendation of the
State committees.
The funeral of John Samson, which
took place from his late residence near
Charleston on Tuesday afternoon was
largely attended. The religious ser
vices were conducted by the Rev. Mr.
Peterson of Rancocas. The remains
were borne to their last resting place by
E. B. Marter, ST., Jacob Shedaker,
John Stokely, Joseph Wills, John
Buzby and o. d. Crane.
Last Saturday evening a workman
named Ledy, employed by William
Denight, of Delanco, was robbed of
$3.50 by two tramps who came from
Lebanon, Pa, who also broke up
Ledy's furniture. They left on Mon
day night leaving a lot of unpaid bills.
These parties go by the name of Willis
and Lizzie Renert, who several months
ago charged DR.. Barnitz, of Delanco,
with indecent assault.
A great deal is being said of late
about the smoking of cigarettes in
public places, and they are certainly
extremely disagreeable to nine-tenths
of the community. Laws have been
passed against selling them to boys,
but why not go to the root of the evil
and forbid their sale altogether as
being d~eleterious to public health ?
Nothing else will have any effect to-
ward breaking up the nuisance.
If an average of 20 per cent. in
crease in population in this State since
1885 can be shown by the census
figures, there will have been added to
the population over 255,000 souls,
making the present aggregate, 1892

the cities bordering on New York and
Philadelphia, the rural communities
have either increased very little or ex-
perienced an actual decrease.
In pursuance of its usual liberal

ticketr for the Fourth ofJuly holidays
between all stations on its lines at re-

on July Sd and 4th, valid to return
until July 7th, 1890. This reduction
in rates does not apply to tickets sold
between New York and Philadelphia,
nor New York or Philadelphia and
Baltimore and Washington. By the
use of these tickets one can make a
vary plaaSont holiday trim at small cost
