Steers fattened upon alfalfa can be

At the meeting of the Board of War
dens for the Port OF Philadelphia, last
Monday. A. c. Ferguson and Charles E.
Scott, of Bristol. called attention to the
bar between Bristol and Burlington
which is extending so rapidly as to seri-
ously interfere with the navigation of the
river, and forms quite an obstacle to
steamboat travel between the two towns.
Mr.. Scott illustrated his remarks by dia-
grams showing the relative position of
the bar and wharves, and stated that steam
ers were unable TO leave the wharf at
Burlington and shape direct course for
Bristol, thus involving much delay In
backing and starting. He also showed
that it was serious impeachment to navi-
CATION by the New York and Philadelphia
boats which pass through the Delaware
and Raritan Canal. The matter was unan-
imously referred to the President, Mr..
Joel Cook, to communicate with Major
Raymond, of the U. s. Engineers. and see
if measures could not be taken for the re-
moval of the outer portion of the bar.
Since Mr.. Scott's accession to the Board Of
Wardens he has succeeded in abolishinR
the imposition of expensive licenses for
wharfing to low water mark at Bristol
which has aided in forwarding number
of improvements to our river front.
AS the removal of the bar cannot be &C.
complished without an appropriation by
Congress it is to be hoped that the mem
bers from New Jersey will be urged to CO.
operate and that such appropriation may
be made at this session.

The Fire Plugs.

The item in last weeks News, relative
to the fire plugs of the town. started in
quiry into the matter and it was discov-
cred that there were 10 plugs that had
frozen and from which it would be impos-
sible to GET water in case of fire.
Fortunately all these plugs are located
in the vicinity of the creek. and the stream
could be utilized as it always is, but that
does not prevent feeling of insecurity.
There should be some measures taken
to prevent this condition of affairs. Of
the Is plugs frozen. eight of them are new
having been put in quite recently. An
item from the Riverton Era, on the same
subject, says that all of the plugs put in at
that place, are SO constructed that cut
off at the bottom allows the waste water
to escape, thus preventing freezing Mount
Holly should have something of the same
sort.
Chief Engineer Morgan on Monday
took the Relief engine and inspected all
of the plugs, sending steam into those
that we're frozen, and by night he had all
the hydrants in working order.

Went Grubb to Lead Them.

A topic of considerable interest among
members of the New Jersey National
Guard is the extent Of the States military
display at the Worlds Fair. 1t is not
likely that the whole division. 4, 400 strong,
will be sent to Chicago, although promi-
nent officers of the guard claim this
could be done with but little more cost
than the annual summer encampment,
provided the latter was dispensed with,
and the guardsmen consented to 90 to the
Worlds FAIR without pay.
The division is composed of two bril-
gades, which are sent to the Sea Girt
camp ground In alternate years. 1t is
the First Brigade's turn to go into camp
the coming summer. and the Second Bri-
gade, which is located principally in
South Jersey, claims the right to be sent
to Chicago. The North Jersey guards
men, however, have a greater pull on the
Legislature, and 1t is probable that. as q
compromise, provisional regiment of
twelve full companies will be organized to
represent the State in the Worlds Fair
military display. In this case It will be
made up of companies from the various
regiments, and officers will be detailed.
If a provisional regiment is formed
there will be lively contest for the hon
or of commanding it. Many officers of
the guard would like to see General E.
Burd Grub in command. He was at
the head of the provisional battalion from
New Jersey. which carried off the prize
contested for by the various States at the
Yorktown Centennial Celebration. II
politics are brought into the contest the
command would probably be secured by
North Jersey Democrat.

guns and cut off hostile force which
had crossed the stream which divides
Mount Holly in two parts. When Donor
heard the cannon at Trenton he recalled
