has been pastor of the church since the
death of Rev. Anthony Cassasse, has en-
deared himself to the people, and refuses
to leave them, although Rev Walter T.

Bishop O'Farrell to take charge. Father
Leahy threatens to dispossess Father Treacy
by process of law.

Like many scribbler before us we called
down ou our devoted head the wrath o
some of our townsmen in our account o
last weeks fire. The truth is that there
were four Climax extinguishers on th'
| ground, but (don't tell it) three of then
became disabled and bad to be abandoned
You see, Mr.. Editor, this was the first tim,
| in the history of Swedesboro that we hat
been called on to fight fire Of such larg'
! dimensions, and we all wanted to distin
guish ourselves by extinguishing that fire
But, Joking aside, we want to say that ou
people worked like heroes, and it wa
through their united efforts that the towl
was saved, and we could occupy more spac
than you would be willing to give us, il
naming those who jeopardized their live
in their noble efforts to save their neigh
bors' homes.
