Court.


On Monday of last week Ebenezer
Apgar appeared before the Court and
plead non vult to an indictment for selling
beer without license. The Court i'm
posed fine OF $40 which was paid. Mr..
Apgar, 1t will be remembered, was tried
at this term of Court on the above charge.
He put 10 no defence, and notwithstanding
two reputable witnesses testified that they
bought beer of the defendent, who resides
in Califon, one juror was unwilling to
convict and the jury broke. The Pro
secutor would have retired the case
this term, had not the defendant plead as
above.
On Tuesday the Court took up the in
dictment against Walter E. Ort. The
charge was criminal libel in the writing
and posting on the public highway in the
township of Bethlehem, of certain notice
that Mr.. Geo p Albright, school teach
err and Miss Katie Smith, one of his pupils,
be tarred and fcathered on certain
date. The State produced letters of the
defendant for a standard of comparison
and then through the witness compared
thelwritng of the notice with the writing
of the letters, the witness testifyiug they
were both written by the same party.
The defendant denied writing the notice
or posting it, and produced many wit
nesses to prove his reputation for truth
and honesty. The jury retired on We'd
nesday afternoon and soon returned with
verdict of guilty.
Court adjourned to October 21st when
the indictment of E. X. Smith will be
tried.

"A correspondent Of the Nea0ark E'U-
ening NetOs writes a half-column story
to that paper, the scene of which is locat-
ed on Sourland Mountain. A farmer had
a SO ID. land turtle which was chained, a
cat that didn't think anything of catching
weasels, a second cat that wasn't so re-
markable, and rooster. Recently big,
ferocious eagle swooped down to carry
off something, and by mistake got hold
of the cats tail. The cat made fight, the
second cat joined in, the rooster took one
or two tickets in the lottery, and finally
the turtle invested in the eagles leg.
When the battle was over the eagle flew
off, minus leg, which the turtle had,
leaving one dead cat, the other cat and
rooster ready 10 die and the turtle mon
arch OF all he surveyed.

At the Opera House. -"Chick or
Myrtle Ferns. IA very fair house
greeted the well known N. Y. Theatre
Co. at the Opera House last evening,
when the comedy drama, "Myrtle Ferns, "
was produced. The play is really good
one. Mr.. John F. Kelly has lost none of
his old time power as Comedian and his
witty observations and actions through
out the performance were brimful of rich
humor. Mr.. Frank Bigelow, az "Percy
O'Neil," proved himself to be quite an
artist. Miss Clara Mathes, as "Chick, "
the mountain waif, was perhaps the fav.
orite of the evening, showing herself mis-
tress of that rough, dashing air and style
which her assumed character required.
She also proved to be graceful dancer.
We cannot mention all the members Of
the company. Suffice it TO say that it is
the best we have ever had here, as they
are capable of placing on the boards a
production in a manner second to none.
Master Eddie delighted the audience by
his sweet singing. Although young in
years, he is wonder. Specialties were
introduced by different members OF the
company, which were highly appreciated.

The Shakers have made great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said TO be the
most successful remedy for stomach trou-
blcs ever introduced. 1t Immediately re-
ieves all pain and DISTRESS after eating,
builds up the feeble system and makes
the weak strong.
The fact is, foods properly digested are
better than so called tonics. The Cordial
not only contains food already digested,
but is a digester Of other foods. Food
that is not digested does more harm than
good. People who use the Cordial insure
the digestion of what food they eat and
10 this way get the benefit OF II and grow
strong.

have sent druggists for free distribution,
