Birds with Cranberry Tim mings.

TRENTON, Dec. 26, 1S94.-Jersey turkey
and Jersey cranberries will be the feast
At for the English nobility this year, and
Burlington county will furnish them both.
Tradition in Britain holds tenderly to the
whole roast pig and the fixings, but the
real caper, as Mother Grundy has lisped
it about, is an American turkey with
cranberry sauce. Last year the Ameri-
can Cranberry Growers Association sent
Prof. A. ]. Rider over to England as the
apostle of cranberry sauce. He succeed
ed in arousing a generous interest in
the little red berry, and the sauce and
the tart that it made SO palatable. The
English nobility liked the sauce so well
they began to inquire about the American
turkey, and the glowing accounts given
of the American produced bird made their
mouths water. American turkeys were
ordered with the cranberries. The farmers
in the upper part of Burlington county
were given orders early in the year for
Tom turkey, and as a result, a commits
sion sent to England 125 turkeys with
the feathers n they averaged twenty
six pounds each. They were all noble
birds, and there was considerable rivalry
among the farmers SeIInS tnem up TO
standard. The heaviest birds were receiv-
ed from the following persohs:-Frank

PATRoLMAN MULOoXs PRESENT

A cruel joke was perpetrated upon
Patrolman Sylvester Mulcox of the
Fourth precinct. On Wednesday night
an express wagon stopped at his home
on Jewett avenue, and the expressman
delivered a neat looking parcel. Mulcox
was not at home. but Mrs. Mulcox pay
ed the thirty cents without a murmur,
and wondered who could have remem-
bered her husband in such a handsome
manner. The package was rather heavy
and there was a great deal of conjec-
turing among the little Mulcoxs as to
what it contained. When the head OF
the house returned home he FASTENED
to examine. On opening the box he
found a brick. He is hunting with an
axe for the man that did it.

TRENTON, Dec. IS, 1S94.-Suit has beer
commenced in the Court of Chancery by
the heirs of Abigail Moore, of Hopeweli
township, who died in 1888, leaving in her
will $1,000 to the Pennington Academy,
an institution then in existence, but
which was abandoned in 1910 on the estab-
lishment of a public school there.
The heirs bringing suit are Joshua ].
Jones and Lewis S. yelling of Trenton,
William G. Jones of Pennington, Hen
rietta Hunt of Hopewell, and others in
other States, and it is brought on the
ground that the money was diverted
from the purpose for which it was in
tended in the bequest.
They claim, through their attorney, g.
d. w. Vroom, that the $1,000 was be-
queathed to the Pennington Academy ito

education of all the poor children in
that district forever" and after describ-

the academy was abandoned the trustees
loaned some part of the sum to the trus-
tees of the Pennington public school,
and that it is in the possession of the

loaned to Theodore Fitzhenry, in whose

his possession books of account and
other papers showing the state of the
fund and how invested, and has refused
to allow the parties to the suit to inspect

The claim is also made that the de-

was left the residue of the estate, are not

Not only your Charleston readers,

State and the South, are intensely in

q larger mill ut Lockhart Shoals,

The foundations of the mill have
been built, and 100000 bricks are
made ready for building. Seneca be-
comes interested in this mill from the
fact that one of it's livest and most
Influential citizens, Mr.. John g. Carey,

an important and responsible office
