A righteous verdict.

There was never more just verdict
rendered by a jury than the one at Mays
Landing, on Monday, when the editors
of the Atlantic journal was acquitted of
criminal libel in the case of the colOred
policeman Royal Robinson. The whole
case was so weak and flimsy, it is a won
der that the Grand Jury ever found an
Indictment. But there is apparently a
great deal more behind these libel cases
than appears upon the surface 1t was
evidently an attempt on thep part of those
who fear an independent and courageous
newspaper to curb the freedom of the
press 1t was conspiracy better worthy
of Russia, than Of fliberty-loving America.
The monstrous doctrine put forth by the
prosecution that a newspaper cannot
freely criticise the acts, the conduct and
the character of public officials, without
Justly provoking personal retaliation has
no place in this country at the close OF
the nineteenth century.
The verdict will have wholesome in
fluence, and the intelligent gentlemen
who composed the jury are entitled to
the thanks of every man who has any re-
gard for fair play. They brushed aside
the legal sophistry of the prosecution
and their finding is in accordance with
Justice and common sense. They have
taught those in authority that they are
servants and not masters, and that
thair acts are amenable to criticism. The
verdict is far reaching and it will do

Easter D1nner.

The annual dinner given to invited
friends, by Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Dou-
ghty, OF Absecon, on Easter Sunday is an
event looked forward to with pleasure
by all who share the bounteOus hospital
ity. For several years nearly the same
party have assembled within the capa-
cioHs rooms of the big mansion and min
istered to the wants of the inner man
after returning from the Easter service
at church. The occasion is never one of
hilarity-the Day would forbid that-but
one of 1iet sociability, when old friends
exchange greetings and congratulations,
and return thanks. 1t goes without say
ing that "a dinner atDoughty means
something to eat. The large cheerful
dining room, the gorgeously set table,
the beautiful decorations and flowers,
theloads of substantial and delicate food,
the bouquets and the fruits all conduce
to good appetite and good cheer. Some
who were invited were unavoidably ab-
sent, but all present felt thankful that
the large circle had not been broken by
death since the meeting year ago, and
all expressed the hope that the venerable
host would still greet his many friends
for many years to come. Those present
as guests were Hon. S. D. Hoffman, and
Mrs. Harry G. Slape, Master John Slape,
Mr.. and Mrs. John B. Champion, MIR. and
John s. Westoott, Miss Alice Champion
and Mrs. VIM. l. Newell, Jr., of Atlantic
City; Mrs. D. Viana, Miss Ella Sharp,
Miss Lillian Corcoran, and Mr.. j. r.
Doughty, Jr.. OF Philadelphia; Miss Ella
Murphy, of Yonkers, N. T.; Mr.. and Mrs.

At Rest,

The funeral ceremonies of the late
DR.. Job B. Somers, on Thursday,
at Lis residence, in Linwood, and
at the old family buryipg ground
at Somers' Point were most I'M
pressive, and were attended by a large
concourse OF people numbering fully i've
hundred, and comprising representative
citizens from all parts of the county.
The services at the Late residence of the
deceased were conducted according to the
rites of the Seventh Day Baptist. OF which
DR.. Somers was a member, by Rev.
C. CottelI, of Shiloh, N. j. The body
lay in silver trimmed black casket, and
the well known features looked calm ana
natural in the repose OF death.
The keystone Masonic Lodge attended
in body, and a delegation from Trinity
Lodge, of Atlantic City was also present.
Messrs. Levi C. Albertson, Edward
Wilson and Capt. John Price, OF Trinity
Lodge, and Elisha Ingersoll, John 5. Lee
and Samuel Somers, of Keystone, were
chosen as pail bearers.
One of the affecting incidents OF the oc-
casion was when the funeral cortege
halted at the old Somefs' mansion, in
order that Mrs. Annie r. Somers. the
aged mother of the deceased who is con-
fined to the house by declining health,
might have last view ol the body.
On reaching the family burying
ground, among the pines about half
mile from the old Mansion, where so
many generations of the Somers family
have been laid away, the casket was
lowered into the ground and the Masonic
funeral rite was performed by the Rev.
IT. j. Cross of Atlantic City, assisted by
Worshipful Master George 3. Lutz, OF
Absecon.
The long line of carriages, and the hun
dreds of fearful eyes, told the story OF
public and private grief, and testified to
the high esteem in which thegood Doctor
was held by all who knew him. The
lives of such men Shine along the Alpine
heights of Humanity long after the sun
is gone.

The Circulation Of the Press.

The PRESS is steadily gaining in eireu-
lation every week, not only in Atlantic
County, but in other parts of the State,
and outside the State, Since February
1st, of the present year new subscribers
have been received from 1876 towns and
cities outside the State of New Jersey,
distributed as follows:
New York State, 43; Pennsylvania,
40; Connecticut, q Virginia, Z; Massa-
chusetts, Z; Ohio, 4; Rhode Island, 4;
Wisconsin, 4; Maryland, 3; Canada, 3;
Vermont, 2; Illinois, 2; Missouri, 2;
Maine, /; Colorado, /; Texas, 1; New
Mexico, 1; Indiana, /; Nebraska l. Kan
sas, 1; Tennessee, /. Total, 1856. Bear
in mind that 1876 does not represent the
number of new subscribers, but the num-
Der of different towns andcities that new
subscribers have been received from with
in the last ten weeks where the paper
was not taken before. In many OF them
we have only oneor two subscribers, but
in Others we have a handsome list which
is regularly being added to.
Locally we have added 80 new subscrib-
ers to the already large Est, making in
all 100 regular subscribers within tie
Borough OF Pleasantvllp. In ScalIville
our list has grown from 4 10 %. Ii En-
glish Greek from 10 to "a. In Abs"con
from 38 to SO, and in other places it has
been heavily increased. All this is ex-
tremely gratifying. and is direct incen-
tive to make the Press a good paper.
Outside the State it is taken largely by
people who have investments in Southern
New Jersey, or who contemplate making
them, and also by those who have lived
there or haye friends VINO have been resi-
dents Of the Garden State" There is
no weekly paper in Atlantic county 50
largely, or SO widely circulated, and
everybody who desires to reach the peo-
pie who are directly interested in the
growth and prosperity of Atlantic
County should bear that fact in mind.

Dear Sister: These few lines | write,
About the role played last night,
At that much talked OF masquerade,
As gallant knight | went arrayed.
Miss Inez Leigh, just fresh from school,
A little raw, asis the rule,
Was pretty us Titania dressed,
She looked fairy, confessed.
The may dance was at its height,
| led her in the shadow quite;
And though she yelled her eyes bright
ray,
They somehow charmed my sense away.
Light, shade, flowers and music lent
Their charm, as low my head bent,
To look into the downcast eyes,
And listen to her low replies.
And thus whiled the time away,
Full many foolish thing did say.
She was susceptible. You see,
| probed her heart trifie free.
The cares that Benedicts pursue,
Considered, the yoke eschew;
Thus meant not, any word | said,
Still-at a pinch, sis, might wed.
This letter | must thrust away,
To read what tue papers have to say

NAYS LANDING.

Our Baseball Association has ex-
tended an invitation to the Morris
Guards Of Atlantic City to play game
on Decoration Day.
Counsel for a number of the stockhold-
ers of the defunct Industrial Land Devel-
opment Company, Of this place, have
made an application before Vice-Chancel-
lor Emory for the removal of James l..
Hayes as receiver OF the company. Coun-
sci asked to have Jane Parker, of Perth
Amboy, and James E. Short, appointed
in his stead.
Hayes has been wanting to retire as
receiver owing to the firm having no
funds to push litigation to find out how
much the assets of the company amount
to. Hundreds of people in New Jersey,
New York and Pennsylvania held stock
in the concern which failed. Short was
one of the heaviest stockholders of the
company and he is willing, it is stated,
to furnish the necessary cash to push the
litigation. The application will probably
be granted.
