Salem South Jers egman says:-"James Lutes
Of Swedesboro, while up Swedesboro Creek
after doves on Saturday morning last had an
encounter with four large offers which he does
not care to experience again. When about to
make a landing he was attacked by the ami
mails and driven back into his boat. They swan
afte the boat and one of them succeeded in
climbing aboard, and after knocking it out
with an car he was finally compelled to shoot
in self defense. AT the discharge OF the gun
the others retreated and SO did the man, after
securing the one he had killed. Those who
have experienced a battle with offers say thai
when you meet one on the war path he is an
ugly animal to encounter, although they
seldom show fight.

Snow and Hail.

Snow and hail are frozen forms Of
atmospheric moisture. In the case OF
snow, the minute particles of moisture
are frozen as they form, and arrange
themselves about each other in beauti-
full crystals, producing the snowflake.
Hailstones are often formed by
whirling currents of wind, which carry
raindrops or minute snowballs first in
to the upper, cold regions, where they
are frozen, then downward through a
warmer section. where more water is
added, and then upward again. The
size OF the stones is thus gradually in
creased until they become too heavy to
be carried upward again, and are flung
to the earth.-- WinsloW's Principles of
agriculture.

Arrangements Being made to Witness
the Solar Eclipse ApriIl5.
The total solar eclipse Of April 5-l6.
1898, is not only one of the longest of
the century but it is the last of the
century from which we are likely
TO get any additions to our knowledge of
solar physics. The longest duration of
totality OF this eclipse is four minutes
forty-six seconds, and as the path of
the moon's shadow lies TO great extent
on land. there is a considerable choice
of possible stations with long durations
of totality.
Two expeditions will be sent from
England one to Africa, the other TO
Brazil, the expenses being betrayed by
the Royal Society. The United States
will send an expedition to Chill, and
there will probably be two or three
American parties at Pasa Cura. A
Brazilian party will also observe. The
Bureau DIES Longitudes, Paris, is send
ing complete expedition to Joal, in
Africa. At present We have not heard
of an Italian expedition, but it is hoped
that Prof. Tacchini will be able to
make arrangements to observe the
eclipse.

cold water to take out the frost and
waiting several hours for the thawing

state that they can be used with no

No More Brandy Drops.


City Marshal Wells of Lynn Prohibits the
sale of Thi. CONNECTION.
Brandy drops" must be banished
from Lynn.
For some time past City Marshal
Wells has been receiving complaints
from parents of school children that
their sons and dau .hters were purchas-
ing brandy drops in large quantities,
and in some cases that the children
had suffered from the effects OF the
brandy.
City Marshal Wells purchased a
large quantity Of the drops at a Lynn
store this week aud sent them to Boston
where they were analyzed by chemist
The report showed that the liquid in
the interior Of the confectons contained
40 per cent. Of alcohol. Possessed
with the knowledge City Marshal
Wells has commenced an effective and
thorough crusade against their sale
Most of the confectioners seen bv him
expressed their willingness to discon-
tinue the sale of the drops.
Marshal Wells states that after all
the dealers have been notified of the
order to stop their sale he will cause
the arrest OF all who do not obey the
order.

serves the fine lines and freshness of

The Yankee Girl.
BY Holm G. MHIITIER.

She sings by her wheel at that low cottage
Which the long evening shadow is stretching
before,
With a music as sweet rs the music which
Breathed softly and faint In the ear OF our
dreams,
How brilliant and mirthful the light OF her eye.
Like star gancing out from the blue Of the
SKY
And lightly aud freely her dark tresses play
Ger brow and bosom as lovely AS they,
Who comes in his pride to that low cottage
The naughty and rich to the humble and poor!
lis the great Southern planter.-the master
who waves
His whip of dominion DER hundreds of slaves.
Nay, Ellen,-for shame! Let those Yankee
fools spin,
Who would pass for our slaves with a change
of their skin;
Let them toll as they will at the loom or the
wheel.
Too stupid for shame. and too vulgar TO feel!
But thou art too lovely and precious gem
To be bound 10 their burdens and suiIied by
For shame. Ellen, shame,-cast thy bondage
aside.
And away to the South, a my blessing and
pride.
o, come where no winter thy footsteps can
wrong.
But where flowers are poisoning all the year
long.
Where the shade of the pam-tree is over my
home
And the lemon and orange are white in their
bloom
