The Knights of Py,hias pic mic and
reunion at Ellmaker Isle on Saturday last
was large affair, as usual. 1t is esti
mated there were 1000 to 5000 people
present, and in spite of the extremely
warm weather and the fear of showers,
which drove many people away about
$3.50 in the afternoon, all appeared to
enjoy themselves, and the whole thing was
considered a success. q. Ii. w. Van
Solver acted as Master of Ceremonies,
and Grand Chancellor Ralph Dcnath and
Rev. w. A. Tinney were the orators of
| the occasion.
Among the duties of the ovcrseer of
highways as defined by the highway law
of this State, is that OF removing the loose
stones from the beaten track once each
month, from April to Dec. /. This is
an important duty. Loose stones in the
track are not only severe annoyance in
driving, but they cause liability to &C
cidents. Right here, says the Frenchtown
Star, the question ariees, would not the
town be liable for accidents, when they
arc caused by the neglect of the overseer
to discharge the duties plainly marked out
for him by lawG

Detective Haggerty, OF Newark, came
here and got him the other day with view
of giving him a hearing before the United
States Court there. His trial, however,
will not take place until October. SO far
the mans identity has not been learned.
Sheriff Poulson was glad to get rid of the
prisoner, as he was thought to be a dan
gerous criminal. He was securely hand
cuffed before being taken from the Jail
here. He is evidently very bad man.

Secretary Franklin Dye, of tho State
Board of Agriculture, having received
word that In Hunterdon county ninety
five per cent. of the peaches had fallen in
the usual "June drop" determined to
find out what the prospect for peaches
and other crops in tie State might be. He
accordingly sent out letters of inquiry to
reliable persons in all the counties of the
State. The result of his information was
that the outlook is not so black as he was
led to suppose, even in Hunterdon coun.
ty. According to reports received, peach
es will be rather over half crop. The
June drop has been very heavy, the gen.
eral opinion being that it was made so by
the May frost, which weakened the trees.
The report of the other crops generally
show better condition.
