That troublesome malady known as
ola grippe" still holds its own in our
town, as indeed it does throughout the
country. In the cities last week there
were many deaths from it, but here
abouts there have been none thus far.
Many victims have suffered relapse,
which all authorities agree is liable to
occur repeatedly but each time with
less violence. Let us hope that the
malady may speedily pack its grip"
and skip the country.
According to members of the New
Jersey State Veterinary Association,
the reputation of the States cattle
may soon be blasted because of flag
grant inaction on the part of the Leg
islature in falling to pass laws provid-
ing for a thorough system Of inspection.
They say that the ravages of pleuro-
pneumonia, or not a district in the
State unaffected The milk from in
fected cows is being sold extensively,
as only an expert eye can discover the
existence of the disease.

A little after s o'clock on Wednes-
day night one of the most brilliant
meteors ever seen flashed across the
northeastern sky. 1t was in a blaze of
intense light for several seconds, and
appeared only to die out as it reached
the southern horizon. AT intervals
particles of the meteor broke loose and
dropped earthward, while the main
body Of it flew along the horizon much
like powdered rocket with plenty of
energy in reserve. Probably it was a
signal that the warm weather was
about to be 'called in"
All taxes, and all assessments for the
laying Of the Telford Pavement, on
Warren street, and the assessment for
curbing and tagging, ON Church and
Broad streets, not paid before the first
day of February, will be returned by
the collector to the Office of the Clerk
of the Court of Common Pleas, at
Mount Holly to be entered on record
against the properties liable for the
same. All those who wish to keep the
records clear as to their property must
settle with the collector before the
first day of February.
DeVoe, the weather prophet, is
slightly "rattled" over his early win
ter predictions, and has renewed his
prophecy. He says the present mild
ness is caused by warm equatorial cur
rents. Owing to the shifting of storm
belts, the rain in this section will be
turned into snow in January. Winter
now seems to begin two months later
We shall have three cold waves yet
The ice men can cut by February l..
The last cold wave will be here Feb
ruary II. There will be snow storm
storm in March followed by an early
spring.
