THE Lawn Party held by the ladies OF
the Avenue NJ f. Church, on Hollands
lot on Wednesday evening, netted lit
tie less than forty dollars. The evening
was too cool for a Lawn Party, but never
theless a very large crowd was in attend
ance who seemed to enjoy the affair very
much indeed. The young ladies were at
their best and looked their sweetest, which
is the proper way to be and to look at
church affair of this kind The music Of
the Sunday School orchestra offive pieces
was the feature of the evening and the
music which they gave gratis was Of
high order of excellence. The Rev. DR..
Martindale was forced to become the auc-
tioneer when the time came for auction
ing off the odds aud ends which re-
msined over at the end of the regular
sale. He did his work here to the salts
faction of the treasurer but the usual Lam
guage OF the average auctioneer was lack
ing. The evening was indeed very en-
ioyable one to all, and if repeated about
three weeks hence fully twice or thrice
as much money would be put thereby |
INTO the Sunday School treasury.

A number of tramps, six or eight, were
arrested in this town on Monday, by
Jacob Z. Wilson and Joe Griffith, under
orders from Constable Dickerson, and
carried before Esquire Cullen, who was
waiting for them to be brought in. Some
of them proved who they were.-that
they we're not professional tramps,-but
were in the habit of working, whenever
they could find work to do, and these
were discharged, as were all the others.
The attempt to make a few dollars in this
way should be condemned, as there is not
any possible chance of getting the fine or
costs out of the men brought in, but the
costs can only be paid by the State The
only reason for these arrests was the in
teution and desire to get the fifty cents
which the State laws allow for each ar
rest. Constable Dickersou admitted to
some that lie instructed Wilson and
Griffith to make the arrests, and to others
he denied giving them the authority. The

A few weeks ago Mr. Robert H. Will
liams traded horses with gentleman at
Harrington. The horse he got in ex.
change for his was very pretty one and
a good traveller, supposed TO be perfectly
gentle and a family driver. About a week
ago Mr. Williams son Causey jumped in
the carriage and started for drive when
the horse took a notion 10 kick aud rear
and run. He managed 10 free himself
from the carriage in short order aud in
the wreck Mr.. Williams received bruises
and cuts aud the surgeon had to sew up
with several stitches the gashes i'll his
body. Mr.. Williams was sick Of such
family horse and the same day he sold
him to Wilbur Dickerson, the liveryman
for hfty-fve dollars, less than one-half
cost price. As there was nothing wrong
with The harness and nothing unusual TO
frighlen the horse,it is natural to suppose
him to be a chronic kicker and all round
bad animal for family driving. Mr.. Will
iiams is much relieved in mind to know
he is now somebody else's property.
