laughing yet at practical joke played on
two of their number who are camping
on Thompson's Point. Both these young
men came from England and had never
seen forest Of any. size nor wild game
of any kind. Some of the mill boys know
ing this determined to put up a job on
them. A party of three. therefore. one
evening just at dusk dressed themselves
up in u buffalo coat and called at the
camp. Amos and Dennis were just about
to eat supper when they heard a noise in
the underbrush, AT first they thought it
was robbers, but finally the man in the
buffalo coat made his appearance and
then they knew it was a bear. With
chattering teeth and trembling limbs. they
rushed for their boat and in the excite
ment OF pushing off broke an oar. FL
nally they got away from the shore and
pulled out into the center of the pond
expecting every moment to see the bear
climb over the stern. Bruin failed to
follow them, however. and after wait
of four hours out on the pond they rowed
back to camp where everything was
found just as they left it.

TRACK AND STABLE.

The famous trotter Cephas was quite
badly injured while being loaded at Old
Orchard for transportation to Boston
just as he was being led up the panks to
walk INTO the car the shifting engine
went by and frightened him. The animal
backed over the walk falling five feet or
his back. Then he jumped to his feet and
as he started to run slipped and fell again
when he was captured. Besides being
badly bruised he was severely strained
and wrenched and his owner was fearful
that would prevent his appearing again
on the track.

Undoubtedly the largest and most
enthusiastic audience that has ever been
drawn together in the Fourth Congress
sional District for political pur-
poses was that which listened to
the address of the Hon. Thomas b. Reed
of Maine, at Morristown last Friday
afternoon. Fully eight thousand people
from the four counties of Hunter
don, Warren, Sussex and Morris
and from more remote parts OF
the State gathered on the Morris
town Public Square to hear the "big man
from Maine" tell why he was in favor of
honest money and protection and of Hon.
Mahlon Pitney as the representative from
the Fourth Congressional District of
New Jersey.
The crowds began to arrive in the
early morning, coming by foot and
wagon, and by the Rockaway Valley
and Whippany River Railroads, from the
surrounding county and by the special
trains over the D., L. and w. and n. j.
Central, which connected with all points
in the district and also the points between
Morristown and Hoboken. They repre-
sented all sorts and classes of people, in
Guiding hundreds of farmers from all
over the district, many Of whom made
great sacrifice in order that they might
hear the right side of the silver question
from so eminent an authority.
Welcome to Speaker Reed.
Mr.. Reed came on a special train from
Hoboken arriving in Morristown about
quarter past one. He was accompanied
by Hon. Franklin Murphy, chairman
Republican State Committee, and Alfred
r. Whitney, elector from the Fourth
District, and by many other Republicans
who are prominent throughout New Jer-
sey. The train was in charge of Super
intendent Andrew Reasoner, and the cars
were decorated with flags and notices Of
good Republican sentiment.
The party was met at the station by
several hundred warm-hearted Republi-
cans, who, headed by the two Morristown
bands, under the leadership of Edward
Mitchell and George Udall, Joined in
welcoming the renowned parliamentar-
ian. Mr.. Reed was the guest of Mr..
