George w. Tucker Of Odessa died on
board the steamship Pawneu of the
Clyde line, tho result of an accident
which occurred in the engine room on
May 18th. When the steamer was
passing Hog Island, on the Delaware

machinery near the low pressure crank
pit, and his oil can fell into another
pit a few feet distant Tucker was
alone in that part of the steamship at
the time, but it is thought ne tried to
reach for the can, when he was struck

A special to the Philadelphia Press
from Toms River, N. j., said: 1.-THE
farmers along the Atlantic shore in
this vicinity deem it an esq ecial pro-
vision of Providence that the schools
of herring should come along every
year Just at corn planting time. The
little fresh water streams and creeks
arc filed with the herring during the
months of April and May, and the
farmers, who are as much accustomed
TO fishing as they are to farming, catch
them in seines by the wagon load.
The formula for corn planting is the
same as the one the first settlers found
tho Indians using in this very section
four grains of corn and herring to a
hill. The fish make excellent fertil-
izer, and the custom was at once
adopted from the Indians, and has been
used for two centuries by their white
successors. 1t is surprising to see the
corn that will grow in apparently bar
rem sand when fertilized in this man

Following the singing of the hymn

in which all joined, the Rev. A. N.
Keigwin, pastor of the church, read
the Scripture lesson. He took for his
text tho following passage from the
XIV Psalm: Lift up your heads,
o ye gates; and DO ye lifted up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of
Glory shall como in. Who is this King
of Glory? The Lord strong and
mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. ("

well as the other members of the con-
gregation.
At the conclusion of the sermon the
congregation sang, "Onward, Christian
Soldiers,' and after the bepediction
had been pronounced, the knights left

A Naturalist,s Cane Gun.

M. p. Barnard of Kenneth Square
has curious cane gun which his
father, Vincent Barnard, procured in
Philadelphia 80 years ago for the pur
pose of killing specimens for bird col
lections. In appearance it is like an
ordinary walking stick with curve to
the end, and the trigger and lock are
not visible until the gun is ready for
use. The most of the large collection
that went to Swarthmore College was
obtained with this gun, and the
naturalist's son has obtained many
valuable specimens with it.
