The Young Peoples Rally, under
the auspices of the Christian Endeavor
Society of the Stockton Presbyterian
church, on last Thursday evening, was a
splendid success. About seventy FIVE
young people from the different churches
of our city drove up to attend the seryic-
es. The addresses by the different speak
ers were interesting. Each was supposed
to be limited in time, but with six minis
ters for one evenings exercise, they did
not adjourn until about 10 O'clock. Still
the large audience was very much at,en.

Stockton Endeavorers feel proud, and very

TRENTON, Oct. 2l.-This week will fin

must be filed with the County Clerks by
Friday. With the Senate secure TO the
Republicans by majority of one on the

turns to the Assembly fight. Republicans
all over the State are confident Of carry

William Wagg, Superintendent of the
Old Reliable Paper Company, of this city,
is one of the cunning sportsmen of the
neighborhood. He is thoroughly equip
ped with all the latest and modern i'm
provements in the art of game-taking and
spends many Of his leisure moments In a
short trip, with bicycle and gun, hunting
only such game as the law permits. On
Saturday, the 9Th inst, in the midst of
a severe downpour of rain, he was out on
the Delaware, being rowed about by that
indomitable, weather beaten oarsman,
"Banty Williams, in search OF wild
duck, and was rewarded by double shot
at a flock OF Mallards, which numbered
two less as it continued its Southern
flight. MI. Wagg has an inventive mind
and is one who cares for the man or beast
who comes under his protection. He
keeps bis fine breed of dogs down at the
mills, and in order to give them exercise,
without losing control of them, has wire
stretched across a lot about one hundred
feet wide; the dogs are fastened to this
wire by means of chain and ring, and
thus can run backward and forward with
out any trouble and at the same time get
the needed exercise that all hunting dogs
require. 1t is trolley system which all
owners of sporting dogs should adopt,
and as there is no patent on the invention
all can use it at a small cost.
