understands that Hutchinson made

Contemplated cs,urcn improvements.

The oyster and waffle festival given in
McAllister's Hall, Nov. 18Th and 18th, by
the Baptist Church. was we'll patronized
by the public. The net proceeds of the
festival was something over $50. We ap-
preeiate the kindness of the people in thus
encouraging us in the work which we have
taken in hand. We hope to give another
festival on Dec. 18th and 18th, the pro-
ceeds to be devoted to repairing the Bap-
tist lecture-room, which is now being
papered overhead and the side walls tinted.
If possible we hope to be able to make diff
ferent arrangements for heating it, and in
place of the pews now in use, to put in
chairs. These improvements together
With a couple coats Of paint on the outside
and inside wood work, will wonderfully
improve the appearance Of the building. If
our friends will not tire In well doing, but
continue their generous patronage of our
occ asional entertainments we will try to
make the Baptist church and surroundings
more inviting aud attractive. Should any
wish to make money contributions to this
object. they may hand it to the Misses
Macaltioner or Miss Sallie Dickinson.

All over the County.

Postmaster Cook. at Cohansey, has COM
menced the erection of a steam saw mill,
grist mill and creamery a that place.
Pennsgrove is to have a window glass
factory, a stock company having been in
~corporated, and work on the buildings is to
be begun at once.
The steamer Gen. P. II. Sheridan is sunk
in the creek, near Hawks bridge, and is a
great impeachment to navigation. The boat
is owned BY Harry o. Weber.
While out cunning last week Charles
Petit, son of Clark Petit, of Warrington,

While carpenters were at work at JOS
eph Elwell's house, at Lower Alloway's
Creek, they come across a large hive of
honey between the ceiling and floor of the

sixty pounds.
The corn crop in Salem county this fall
is very heavy. William Robbins. of Yorke-
town, has thirty acres, which will average
eighty bushels to the acre. Several others
are also reported as having similar crops.
Thomas Callahan, of Warrington however,
has the largest yield yet reported, being
n~inety-four bushels to the acre.
The farm house of James Gaffney, near
Pentonviile, was discovered to be on fire
about midnight on Tuesday of last week,
and was burned to the ground. Mr.. Gaffney
and family escaped from the building with
but a small portion of their clothing. All
the household goods and most of their
clothing, as also $28 in money. were
burned. The cause of the fire is unknown.
There was no insurance, the policy having
expired a short time before.
The Salem County Historical Society has
in its collection many valuable papers, in
Gliding a large number of old parchment
deeds, but it is about TO receive a contribu-
tion that is far more valuable than any,
thing now contained in the archives of the
society. 1t is nothing less than the origi-
nal parchment deed for the whole Of West
Jersey, from the Duke of York to William
Penn. 1t is now in the possession of Jos
eph K. Riley, having been found by him
among some papers of the Risley family,
and he proposes to present it to the
Historical Society. During the dispute in
reference to the boundary between New
Jersey and Delaware, several years ago,
this deed was put in as evidence, and il
played an important part in the settlement
of the difficulty. Considering its age it is
in a good state of preservation.
