Mr.. S. N. GRAY owns three lots just
bevond the town limits leading towards
SLAUGHTER Beach. Mr.. Wm. E Truitt
also owns one adjoining. Mr.. Gray
keeps in town several horses and makes
during the year a valuable lot OF barn
ward manure. From time to time au em-
pioye, or "hired man" as they are COM
moulv termed, has hauled this manure
as directed by Mr. Gray, and as he sup
posed. spread it upon one of his three
lots, as he ordered. Very many wagon
loads have thus been taken out OF Mr.
Gray's barn yard and hauled away. A
few days ago "Pole" concluded there had
been enough spread upon This certain lot
to bring forth big crop of whatever he
desired to SOW this spring He went to
investigate, and his surprise aud anger
can be imagined when he discovered that
not a pound of manure had been spread
upou either one of his three lots, but all
had gone upon the one lot Ct Mr.. Trultt.
Mr.. 7 has rented his lot and does not
intend to pay for Mr. G's unintentional
generosity, Now Gray is mad, indeed
or at least he. ought to be, at the stupidity
of his "hired man." and he IS looking
and scheming, laying awake nights try
ing TO devise some means by which he
may get even with both the hired man
and Mr.. VIM E. Truitt. The latter Is
taking things very coolly, indeed, ano
when he passes good-natured pole" he
cannot resist the temptation to look a.
him and smile in an insinuating way ane
I it is this that makes "Pole" madder anc

Don't Put it OF.

The necessity of a spring medicine is uni
versally admitted This is the best time of
year in which TO purify the blood, to restore
the lost appetite, and to build up the entire
system, as the body is now peculiarly sus-
ceptible to benefit from medicine. The great
popularity attained by Hoods Sarsaparilla,
owing to its real merit and its remarkable
success, has established it as the very best
medicine to take in the spring. It cures
scrofula, salt rheum, and all humors, bill
iousness, dyspepsia, headache, kidney and
liver complaints, catarrh, and all affections
caused or promoted by low state of the sys-
TEN or impure blood Don't put it off, but
take Hoods Sarsaparllla now. It will do
you good

IT is indeed seldom that town Of this
size has as elegent hotel in all its aP-
pointmeuts as is the Central. here IS
no denying the fact of its being one OF
the most comfortable hostelries anywhere
The travelling public are quick to find
the best house for their temporary occu-
pancy and the Central is therefore head
quarters for commercial men who travel
this southern peninsula. Those who have
stopped at the Central are loud in their
praises of its modern appointments and
of their general satisfaction with their
good treatment.

THE revival at the Avenue NJ E.
Church continues, and the interest taken
is wonderful indeed, considering all things.
Mr. w. T. Vaules, in the absence for more
than a week ofthe Rev. Dr. Martlndale,
has assumed command and he is doing
The work of the Lord beautifully, being
ably assisted by few Of the church mem
hers. The number of conversions IS
verv neat the two hundred mark (I92)
and if the interest continues another week
this number will probably find God
through the Lord Jesus Christ We are
unable to state Just when the meetings
will close, but It is not probable they will
continue very much longer. Mr.. Mar

believed he will be able to attend to his

Life in Relation to Familiar Phe-
nOmena.

DR. J S Prettyman, Jr lectured to the
Classical Academy School on Wednes.
day afternoon, his subject being Life in
Relation to Familiar Phenomena. He
said
''The basis Of all life, animal and vege-
table, is the cell. The human body is a
colony of cells cooperating in a higher
degree Of development and the phenom-
ena Of life are phases. manifestations Of
cell activity This thought has elaborated
until organic development was shown to
be the Specialization of cell properties.
The history of vegetable growth was re-
viewed from the germinal vessiele to its
tull maturity, showing that it IS the multi
plicatiou and work of cells that makes
growth possible. The function of leaves
was dwelt upon aud their power Of ex.
tracing carbon from the atmosphere aud
it into wood starch, sugar, veg
etable oil, etc. was brought out. Fe men
tation and decomposition were considered
with the life responsible for the processes,
and in connection with this, the rising Of
bread, preservation Of fruits and meats
the souring of milk and the formation of
butter ana cheese "

In politics, Mr.. Fulton was a Democrat,
but during the last campaign championed
the cause of the peoples party, and was

PROF. POWELL had a larger audience
on last Friday night than he has yet had
in Milford. 1t was too deeply inter
eeted audience. He began with stereop-
ticau views OF. eminent men during the
first Presidential administration, includ-
ING Senator Maclay, Of Pennsylvania,
whose diary has recently been published
aud for whom the claim has been made
that he was the founder of the Demo-
cratic party and not Jefferson. Other IN
teresting pictures we're those OF Alex.
Hamilton and Robert Morris. The cere-
monies Of the first Inauguration were
then described, the interesting fact being
mentioned hat Washington during thee de-
livery of his inaugural address was so
nervous that his hands trembled His
administration began with Jefferson as
secretary OF state, Hamilton, secretary OF
the treasury, aud Randolph as attorney
general. In the popular conception lead
ership belongs to the first Of these, but
prof Powell said that Hamilton was the
leading spirit of the cabinet. The lee
ture was largely devoted to a narrative OF
this eminent statesman's birth, early ca
reer and subsequent political lie. Born
IN the West Indies. he was educated at
Elizabeth, n J. and at Columbia College,
N. Y, and was admitted to the bar. He
came into notice because Of most elo-
auent speech delivered by him when but
seventeen years OF age He was not only
the greatest man Of his time, but would
have been one of the greatest men OF any
time; a competent judge having said that
his reasoning powers were equal to those
OF Webster, and his creative powers in
fuitely superior to those OF Webster
His plan for the reorganization of the
National finances was narrated, including
as it did, the assumption Of the federal
government Of the debts of the States, and
# was shown with what ingenuity ano
persistence this plan was pushed to sue
cess against a determined and bitter OPP
position His views of the relation o.
the StatesIto the genersf government
which we're those Of extrepe federalism
