Levi Ashmore, who was reported to

he had left to avoid the payment of his

longer than he anticipated. He is again
employed by Samuel E. Chambers, and
AYERS he has no intention of leaving

some Mount Holly combinations that are
not desirable to cultivate.
Trinity Church, Moorestown, has one OF
the best-kept church properties in the do
cese. The Rev. DR.. Lamb is the rector
and his business training helps him in the
conduct of his parish. The beautiful
church-yard is model of neatness and
the people are justly proud of it. A class
of twelve was confirmed on the first Sun
day after Easter. Stanwick is about to
start mission of its own.
Owing to the heavy demands on the
Moorestown Water Company for water
supply, the springs which have hereto
fore supplied the reservoir have been
found inadequate, and a contract has been
made for an artesian well, or series of
wells, sufficient to give them daily ca
pacity of half million gallons. The cost
of the wells is estimated at $1,000.

There was great 10y in the camp of the
"clammers" when the news came down
that the indictments against the Parkers
did not stand. Somehow they regard it
as their victory.

Collector of the Port S. p Bartlett is

Capt. Joseph Townsend, of Barnegat,
who was recently appointed Wrecking
Master for the district extending from
Squan to Little Egg Harbor inIets, by the
Judges of the Court of Common Pleas,
has declined the job.
A Jersey City paper thinks the custom
house here is not profitable to the govern
ment. 1t says the collector here issued
forty-two documents last year and took
in $500 for the government. His ex-
penses were $293.43, SO that every dollar
of his collections cost the government
$18.03. In explanation why these nom
paying custom houses are kept up it
should be stated that there is considerable
wooden shipbuilding in South Jersey yet,
and it becomes necessary to issue regis
ters to these schooners at their home
ports, which they never see again after
being launched.

There has been very little public infor-
nation this season about the condition of
Lamplighter and the other cracks of the
Rancocas stable. The majority of the
horses are in excellent condition. 1t is a
singular fact, but Julien, the big son of
Darebin, known last year as at best but
a good selling platter, has beaten Lamp
lighter in all his trials so far this spring
The policy pursued with Julien has been
exactly what Darebin's sons need. He
has never been raced too much, nor has
he ever been hustled in his preparation.
The result of this is proved by the great
improvement made by Julien, and if no
accident befalls him he will have good
chance in the Metropolitan Handicap.
This horse never showed much quality,
being on very coarse order, but his
present appearance shows that he has
wintered we'll. The flesh that he carries
is hard, his muscles standing out clean
under a glossy coat that denotes the
best of health. 1t will not be difficult
matter for his trainer to get him to the
post early for any race he may decide up.
on.
No fault can be found with the appear
ance of Lamplighter, but when Julien
has beaten him in his trials, and it is re-
membered that he has never shown his
best form early in the spring, it makes it
seem improbable that he will be starter
in the Brooklyn Handicap. 1t is more
likely that he will be reserved for the
Suburban. If this proves the case the
latter race will be even more attractive
than the others. With Tammany and
Lamplighter to settle differences. and the
light-weighted Terrifier to give them both
an argument the race should be most in
teresting.
Locohatchee looks the picture OF health.
No one would say he was the same horse
that came down the hill at Morris Park
for the Metropolitan last year with the
speed of a whirlwind, passing one horse
after another and just failing to owe rhaul
Pessara, who put the state to his credit
Knowing his peculiar action, his powers
were not lost sight Of, and his condition il
noticed as being extremely forward. Lo

tie sooner than he did for the Suburban
last year he should be dangerous candi

La Tosca never show red to better ad

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that il
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the eustachlan tube
When this tube is inf1amed you have a
rumbling sound, or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever nine cases out
of ten are caused by catarrh. which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

The Side shows at Chicago.

The season for opening the great Colum
bian Exposition has brought to theWorld's
Fair City the largest aggregation of amuse-
ment enterprises that has ever been gath
cred together. 1t has been estimated that
nearly six million dollars are invested in
these undertakings. The most note
worthy of these is perhaps the CycIorama
of the great Chicago Fire. 1t shows the
City as it was during the progress of the
fire, and will doubtless prove one OF the
marvels of the Worlds Fair Another
very interesting exhibition, and one that
will appeal strongly to the religious
masses, will be the new and magnificent
panoramic reproduction of Jerusalem and
the Crucifxion of the Savior to open
May LIST, on Wabash ave. opposite the Bat
tie of Gettysburg. Hardy's Underground
Theatre built seemingly anywhere from
40 to 1900 feet below the surface, prom
ises to be one OF the most unique and
weird of all the amusements. Over $500,
600 is said to be the outlay of this enter
prise alone 1t is on Wabash ave. just be-
low the Libby Prison War Museum.
On the Midway Plaisance in the Fair
Grounds will be found attractions almost
without number, nearly two miles of front
age. 1t is estimated that it would cost a
couple over two hundred dollars to see all
the side shows at the Fair and the down
town attractions hence it would be well
for all parties going to the Worlds Fair to
make up list of places of interest, they
wish to see, for manifestly, few can afford
the time and money to see them all
