Nehemiah Cheeseman, a prominent farm
er of Gloucester county, and for many
years connected with the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, died on Tuesday, at Swedes-
boro, of Bright's disease, in his 18th year.
Alexander Black, who was buried at
Swedesboro last Friday, was one of the

considerable correspondence with thepromi-
nent persons of those days on the subject.
Robert Newell, Postmaster of Salem.
died on Monday morning after a long i'll
ness. About two years ago a cancer made
it's appearance on his leg. The leg was
amputated, but he steadily declined in
health. He was born i'll February, 1874,
and though a leader ofthe local Democracy
and popular throughout the county, he had
held no office but the postmastership, to
which he was appointedin August, 1886. In
1880 he represented the First District of
the State at the National Democratic Con-
v~ention.
His death will be a genuine shock to the
many friends of the dead, who, though
aware of his long continued and painful
illness, were hardly prepared tor the tinal
taking off. Postmaster Newell comes of a
highly honorable and representable Salem
county family. his father, grandfather, and
one or more uncles, being prominently iden-
titled in the social and political history of
the county. His grandfather, James NJ.
Newell, was for a long time Associate
Judge of the Salem courts, and was on the
bench at the trial of Samuel Treadway Tor

offices. and was for a number of years a
local preacher in the Methodist connec-

community will go down to degradation
and to sins found in the catalogue ofcrimes.
Concerning the need of missionary work
and the money required TO carry it on. Mr..
Miller cited an instance where a man con-
tributed a dollar, and placed on the dollar
a cent with the remark, 1T viii take a
dollar to SEND a cent. Mr.. Miller con-
sidered the remark al insult, and ordered
the individual not to repeat that observa-
ton again. N~inety-eighr cents II of ev-
cry dollar given for missionary work, he
said. goes where it is needed, and the re-
naming two cents sends it there. Thirty
dollars was collected for tho missionary
cause at the close Of the discourse. A

DEAR MoNIToR:-How glad we are that
we took exception to one of .Josiah's''
scraps on dress in a former issue. And how
thankful We were that we took the proffered
farm chair in your last issue, and listen
ed so intently to his beautiful talk on the
same subject. In the beginning how in
teresting was "Josiah's'' on
Ruth, the Moabitess, and how proud we
grew of cur name as he enlarged upon the
lovable qualities Of that sweet character of
Bible history. But when he is through and
we come to our senses again, we rapidly
realize that ours is not a Bible character
(would thasit were more so)but simply and
intensely a nineteenth century character,
believing to a great extent, in all the mod
ern hygienic or good health modes of dress.
Ours is a character that would fain follow
the footsteps of such illustrious leaders
as Frances E. Willard in the avenues of a
clear brain and heart; Elizabeth Cady
Stanton in her advanced theories ON w.
man suffrage, @wogld ask every reader of
the MONITOR to refer to your issue of
Dec. 81, 1889, and read Queens of the Re-
public in the w. G. q. =. department of
that number and Jenness-Miller in her
happy freedom Of dress reform. We can
not help but tell you right here of three
lovely young ladies fprominent III w. G.
T.. T. circles, Of course, J with whom we
were visiting a short time since, and all
Of whom had adopted. to q greater or lesser
degree, the Jenness-Miller mode of dress.
None of them wore silk, but we wish
Josiah" could lave seen their dimpled
cheeks and bright eyes, their unfettered
forms and graceful carriage, and enjoyed
as we did the Conversational fruits Of a
clear brain and a devotional Christian un-
derstanding.
No. we are like Josiah. . we can see no
harm in fine dresses so long as the dress
does not steal away the heart, but, alas,
there's the rub Ours is a woman's
nature, truly, and we know how it used
to be in the old days before we had that
arrest of thought of which Frances
Willard speaks SO beautifully, and we
know unless we watched our worshipping,
God would be only a secondary thought,
while the costly garments would most
likely take the primary position. This
seems a very honest confession" doesn't
it, Blu such confessions are good for the
soul, You know, and now in these later
days we have come to that place where
we are willing to do most anything for
our souls enrichment and improvement,
hence are willing to forego s.slik dresses
and sealskin sacquess' for that which sill
better lead US Nearer my God to Thee
Do you thiHx we seem rude, s.Josizh?''
II SO, We truly beg yonr pardon, we do not
mean te be. We think our differences (f
there be any, are brought about largely
from the differences OF our sources of in
SEPARATION. Yours seems TO be based TO a
great degree on the mysteries Of mythol-
ogy, while ours comes from a living, a
glorious present.
Trusting We may be invited to sit in
your farm chair again in the future some
time, Josiah we are. sincerely,

the VT. molly Fair association.

The annual meeting of the Burlington
County Agricultural Society was held at
Mount Holly on Saturday. Joseph IL.
Gaskill was elected Chairman, and all the
old Board of directors was reelected. The
report of the Treasurer, Edward B. Jones,
showed that the receipts for the last Fair
were S67, 77G.12 Notes to the mount of
$42, 900 were paid Off, leaving the present
Indebtedness of the society s12,040.34. At
ter considerable discussion the time of
holding the annual Fair was changed to
the second week in September, one month
earlier than usual. 4 motion was made
to legalize the sale of beer on the grounds
and have pool selling and book-makiug, as
at other tracks. This led to a long discus
sion. Many were in favor of beer being
openly sold, while others opposed it on
moral grounds. 1t was put to a vote and
decided in the negative by 81 to 81. 1t
was then decided to offer a reward of 800
for the arrest and conviction of any one
selling beer on the grounds hereafter.
