age success almost Immediately
crowns the efforts of the pro-
jector. Such is the case with
Mansfield Magic Arnica Liniment.

ADJUSTING VALUATIONS.

Committee of Sixth District Property
Holders Confer With the Commissioners.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Henry Lembeck, ex-Mayor Oliver, Of
Bayonne; George Schmolze, NJ. Schultz,
Jr.. F. Ruel Baldwin, John Morrill, and
D. Wegman, of the Sixth District Prop
erty Owners Association, held a confer
ence with the Tax Board this morning in
reference to the valuations of property in
the Sixth district. Commissioner Law
renee was absent
The conference was held at the instiga-
tion of the Tax Board, the latter having
invited committee from the association
to consult with them before entering the
figures of the valuations in ink. This in
vitation, however, grew out of PROPOSE
tiOn made by the association some months
ago to the effect that the association de-
sired TO impart any information concern
ing the values of unimproved lands.
The committee inspected the books and
pointed out number of lots on Gates,
Danforth and West Side avenues. Brown
place and Main street, in which the Com
missionerS made errors in fixing the valu-
ations. Some of these were high and
some were low.
In Brown place there were lots assessed
at 500, with sewer drainage, while on
Gates and West Side avenues a number
of lots were assessed at $3.50, where the
streets are unimproved.
Mr.. George Smolze pointed out the fact
that his property on Linden avenue, be-
tween Garfield and Ocean avenue, had
jumped in figures from s1,3OO to S2, 200
Mr.. SmolZe, however, did not show dis
position to grumble at the excessive fig
ures, but he desired to know why adjoin-
ing lots, with larger and better improved
houses, were valued at the same figures.
The Commissioners promised to rectify
the matter

BUFFALO HUNTING.
Two Incidents Which Are Funny Only In
the Telling.

Early in March. 1857, party of friends,
all old buffalo hunters, now living and
prominent citizens of Wichita and Great
Bend, in Kansas, were camped in Para
disc Valley, then a famous rendezvous of
the animals they We're after. One day.
when out on the range stalking. and
widely separated from each other, an
awful blizzard came up. Three reached
camp Without much difficulty, but he
who was the furthest away was fairly
caught in 1t, and night coming on, was
compelled TO resort to method fre-
quently employed by persons lost on the
plains. Luckily he soon found super
animated bull that had beea abandoned
by the herd, and killing him, took out the
viscera, and himself crawled inside the
huge beast, where he lay comparatively
comfortable until morning, the storm
having cleared off, and the sun shining
brightly. But when he attempted TO get
out, found himself a prisoner, the i'm
mense ribs of the creature having frozen
together, and locked him up as tightly as
if he were in a cell. Fortunately his
friends. who were searching for him and
firing off their rifies-which he heard,
and yelled out to them--discovered and
released him from his peculiar predica-
ment.
AT another time two old plainsmen
were away up the Platte among the foot
hills hunting buffalo. and they, as is gen.
erally tHe case, Decame separated. IN an
hour or two one killed a fat young COW,
and, leaving his rife on the ground, went
up and commenced to skin her. While
busily engaged in the work. he suddenly
heard, right behind him, suppressed
sort of snort, and looking around, saw
to his diSmay, a monstrous grizzly,
ambling along in that animals character
istic matter, within few feet of him.
In front, only a few rods away, there
happened TO be a clump of scrubby pines.
and he incontinently made a break for
them, climbing into the tallest in less
time than it requires to write of it. The
bear deliberately ate hearty meal off the
cow, and when he had satiated himself,
quietly lay down alongside of the carcass
and went to sleep, keeping one eye prob
ably on the hunter corralled in the tree.
In the early evening his partner came to
the spot, killed the bear, which, full of
buffalo, was sluggish and unwary, and
became an ensy victim, and the unwilling
prisoner came down from his perch. The
last time saw him he told me he still
had the bears hide which he kept as
memento of his foolishness in separating
himself from his rifle, a thing he had
never done before nor since. aud which
no hunter should be guilty of.-HeRry

THE CATCH OF SHAD.
It Was Bigger Than Ever Before I'm the
Delaware This Year.
Special to the jersey City Ne,cs.

Delaware This Year.
Special to the jersey City Ne,cs.
WOODBURY., July 10, SCOTTISH Warden
Charles B. Platt. of Gloucester County,
in his report to the Fish Commissioners
OF New Jersey, regarding shad fishing in
this county. says
THE catch of shad was the largest ever
reported, both in quantity and size of the
fish. The price obtained was not as large
as of former years, yet the catch was SO
great that the season was a profitable
one to those engaged in the business.
The increase in shad from year to
year must establish the fact that the arti-
ficial propagation of shad by the govern
ment has been a success, and that the
cost of propagation and protection is
money well spent for without it there
would not have been enough shad in the
river to have made it profitable to fish"
He also reports that l8S gill nets tishe d
the past season made a total catch of SAG, :
600 shad, but he was unable to ascertain
the number caught at the Five Shore
fisheries. The total number of men en-
ployed at the Gloucester county fisheries
the past season was GA.
Mr. Platt recommends the "close time''
from Saturday at sundown to sunrise on
Monday and also that the fishing laws be
amended to the end that they may be
better understood.
