The 162nd birtlllay anniversary OF
the Father of this Country" was cele-
brated on ThuIsdad afternoon under
the auspices Of Vioh Council, No. 20,
gr. o. U. A, NJ, The line of parade
was formed at 2 O'Clock at ODD Fellows
Hall and pr0ceededIto the school house,
where n new ilagl vas raised amid
cheers and music. The PENIS Grove
Band headed the parade and was fol-
lowed by several wagons, the Council,
the G. A. Il. and Sons of Veterans and
school children.
After the return q crowded house as
sembled in Odd Fellows Hall to listen
to the three able speeches. Prof. j..
Harry Smith spoke for the Mechanics
on the greatness of Washington which
he said consisted of his unblemished
character. As education is the chief
defense of the nation the public schools
should be maintained and the Bible in
it because no where else is virtue, hon.
est and obedience to law taught in all
its purity as in the Bible and these are
what the government requires to make
good citizens.
Rev. d. W. G. McIntire spoke for The
G. A. r. lie believed Washington was
Gods instrument because Of his unset
fish devotion to his country and that
the good principles OF his acts and
character were alive to-day and we
should vote TO maintain the principles
of freedom and the right of the majority
to rule. Rev. J. II. Clarke spoke for
the Sons Of Veterans. lie said the
starting Of this republic and its longer
existence than other republics was due
to the superior character Of leaders,
Washington's unsellish devotion to his
country and stlf sacrificing principles
for freedom, aud the heroic acts of the
G. A. r. in maintaining the principles
of Washington gave q proud inheritance
to the Sons Of Veterance which they
should hold in sacred remembrance.
Prof. Smith made the presentation
address for Viola Council in presenting
a new flag to Penn's Grove school and
5. II. Leap accepted it for the trustees.
1t was a pleasant and profitable cele-
bration, especially to the young, and
Viola Council deserves much credit for
their public enterprise.

TOWNSHIP coMM1rrEE,s POWERS,

Many believe that Penn's Grove
needs a few street lights and a special
officer on many occasions, and did not
know how to get them unless there was
borough government until the agita-
tion began. The revision of the Town
ship laws says the Township commit
tee have the following powers:
The legal voters can vote to raise any
amount (not to exceed 81, 000) for light.
ing roads or streets and public places in
the township and the township commit.
tee shall erect and maintain them.
II q majority of votes cast shall be in
favor then a system of sewerage and
drainage shall be constructed.
Township committee may contract
for water supply.
Voters In any township may vote
amount of money to DO raised for fire
appropriations and purchase of fire ap-
paratus.
Township Committee may license
dogs; may pass ordinances to suppress
breaches of the peace; remove nuis-
ances; license peddlers and itinerant
vendors of merchandise; may appoint
police officers and police justices.
As the township Committee have
about the same powers as a borough
council some may think it unnecessary
to have two sets of officers when one
could do the same work,
A mayor has about the same police
power as a Justice of the Peace, only a
Justice has to, furnish his own office
while n Mayor will expect one rented
for him by the tax payers.

THE M BLAND PACIFIC.
Scheme For Transcontinental Line From
Sioux Falls to Puget sound.

Sioux Falls to Puget sound.
New York, Oct, 31,-Major G. e.
Hibbard of this city has recently re-
turned from an extensive trip through
the Northwest and portions of the
Northern Pacific coast. The most inn
portant news he brings was of the pro-
posed new Midland Pacific railroad,
over the route of which he travelled for
the especial purpose of getting knowl-
edge of that section of the country, in
order TO make report thereon to Can
adian and foreign capitalists, who were
ready to invest i'll the new enterprise if
they should be satisfied of its feasibility.
Major Hibbard is now able to state
that the capital, both Canadian and
foreign, is satisfied, and that he has
therefore been able to enter into con-
tract with United States Senator R. f.
Pettigrew of South Dakota, for the
building of the Midland Pacific from
Sioux Falls, S. D., to Seattle and Ia
coma, WASH, distance of some 1000
niles. The success is thus assured of
what win undoubtedly be one of the
great transcontinental routes.
