ferred in forcible manner to the
close relation the Y. NJ. c. A. sus-
tanned to the church in general,
and that the members of the State
executive committee (of which DR..
C. M. Howe of this city is a men,
ber) were all officers and members
of evangelical churches-the entire
committee numbering twenty
four. He also graphically and
impressively quoted the parallel
history of two young men, COM
mencing life at carpenters

surrounding opportunities, the
other listless and without inspira-
tion; after four years of compan-
ionship they separated and their
lives and ways grew strangely di-
vergent finally meeting each
other in after years the indust-
rious man a successful merchant,
the other a drunk ard. On a
whole this address regarding Y.
M. c. A. work and its usefulness
exceeded all others, and will help
largely in concentrating and
moulding the minds Of public men
in behalf of this generous object.

The Oratorio Cantata Under

"A S1x-year-old son of Alfred
Youngblood, living near Bullville,
N. Y, was playing with a pistol
loaded with number shot last
Saturday. The pistol was dis

to play with firearms but we fear
it will be in the far distant future.

Of Interest to Fishermen.

Gov. Flower of New York, has
vetoed the bill establishing a Fish
Hatchery in Sullivan County,
hence that small State recognition
is withheld from the people, on the
grounds that the hatcheries al
ready existing are not worked to
their full capacity. The Monticello
Rebn6liean rises to explain: I" This
objection has nothing to do with
the case, Governor. In Sullivan
county are to be found natural
facilities for fish culture hardly
equaled elsewhere, with an abund-
ance of pure water lakes and
streams in which to place the fry. !"
Last week a party of Wurtsboro,
N. Y, fishermen returned home
from Fowl Wood Pond with 100
pounds of large pickerel.
1t is stated that a pickerel was
caught with hook and line from
Stevensville pond one day last
week which weighed just seven
pounds.
Parties from Pine Bush, N. ",
who went to Mckee Pond Satur-
day caught 81 pickerel, one of
which weighed six pounds.

The recent comments in the
Guardian concerning City School
Superintendent Hutton have
created some comment in educa-

however, are as false as many
other things said about our city by
outside papers. There is no gen.
eral dissatisfaction and the Guar
dian is wrong in its statement con-
corning salary and number of
schools. Prof. Hutton is a con-
scientious, painstaking, hardwork-

board, and has the goodwill of all
who wish to see our educational
interests advanced.

and found four cats and one dog,
all dead. They have been remov-

Millions of feet of all kinds of

credit is due to our enterprising G
lumber merchants, who have with
persistent energy, retained for
Passaic her commercial supremacy
in this line of business, and on a
par with SO many others.
Amongst the most active and lead
ing members of the trade is the
Anderson Lumber Company, To-
Gated at the foot of Gregory ave-
nue.. Such is the popularity of
this firm in the trade that they
were compelled to enlarge their
quarters by the erection of an ex-
tensive dockage and the building
of what is known as the Gregory
avenue switch, so as to afford them
ample facilities in executing the
orders which they are constantly
receiving. They handle all kinds
of dressed pine and spruce lumber !;
walnut, ash, whitewood, cherry,
maple, ETC., and yellow pine, wal
nut and ash flooring and ceiling.
There are no better judges of lum-
Der in this market to-day, and
their knowledge Of the business is
only equalled by their facilities for
carrying it on.
