The Hear on Tuesday.

Only twice in the last nineteen years has
the weather been hotter here than it was
on Tuesday. The record shows that on
Sunday, July 8, 1876, the mercury rose to
101 degrees. The day before the maxi
mum register was 90 degrees, and for the
following week it kept up in the n~ineties,
climbing on the 10Th to 96 degrees and on
the 18th to so degrees. That made a very
hot week and the day of 101 degrees seem
ed worse, probably, than is was because of
the prostrating effect of the previous day.
In 1879, on July 16. the maximum of 101
degrees was again reached. Since those
two days in 1876 and 1879 we have NOT
Known a day when the mercury got past
80 degrees in the shade until Tuesday,
when 100 degrees was registered. Fortu-
nate it was for us humidity was not high.
Humidity has more to do in making one
uncomfortable than heat has. A combi-
nation of so degrees of heat and 90 per
cent. of moisture in the air is more annoy
ing than 100 degrees of heat and rs per
cent. of humidity. Tuesday VIC had the
high heat and low humidity instead of the
reverse as in '87, '8S, and 80, and for
this We may be thankful. Unpleasant
as Tuesday was, it was, at any rate, a dry
heat. Folks perspired freely, and they
were not sticky with the water from the
air condensed upon them.

The old Hotel Corner.

In making a deed for the lot that the
bank bought on the corner it was needful
to make a search of the court records In
the County Clerks Office to ascertain t hat
there was no Judgment or unpaid mort
cages on the property for sixty years back.
1t would seem that one Daniel Sheppard
ow ned it in 1920 and on September Gath OF
that year sold it to DR.. Samuel Risley.
Aaron Pancoast and Thomas Edwards,
trustees of Risley. sold it Februsry l,
1881, to Nicholas Bright. Bright sold IT
March 10, 1S47, to PIesmuel ID. Park and
Park sold it to John E. Vanneman March
3, 1852. The administrator of Nanneman
sold it to II. J. Stow July "a, 1867, and on
the same day that Stow obtained his deed
he conveyed it to Joseph G.. French, who
on February s, 1870, sold it to &. e.. Ford
and Ford sold it to the present owner, Il.
B. Humphreys. March s, 1881.
We have no means of knowing whether
the property or any part of it was used for
business purposes prior to Bright's owner
ship, but during his holding he made some
additions to the dwelling and obtained
license to keep a hotel, and all who occu-
pied it as tenants or owners afterwards up
to G. c. Ford's retirement in 1881 kept a
public or licensed house there. Mr..
Bright was a blacksmith and had his shop
where virgins store now is. hat as well
as where Thomas Ruff and Geo. Crothers
own, being originally a part of the prop
erty. During Bright's ownership, we are
told, and before its purchase by Park, il
was occupied and kept as a public house
by David s. Woodruff and a man named
milford. Park owned it five years and,
We believe, occupied it during his entire
ownership.
John Il. VannemaH came here from
Blackwoodtown, but lived only a short
time after coming, having been kicked by
a vicious horse, which caused his death.
His widow continued to keep the house,
and some years after his death married w.
s. Wilson, who kept the hotel and at thai
time and long afterwards was also the
owner and driver of a stage line which
ran up to Red Bank and afterwards to
Woodbury., and later on to Wenonah, con,
Meeting in each case with boat or railroad
to Philadelphia.
The selling price is not given IN each
conveyance, but in one case, that OF Shep-
pard to Risley, the consideration or pur-
chase price was 800, and it must be added
that there was nearly an acre of the tract
at that time. There appears to be quite
an increase in value between lS2o ano
1890.
