DISASTROUS BRIDAL SERENhDE.
The New Mistress Has Her Face Scared
Broken Heads and Arms.

BRIDGETON. n. j., March 5.--A par
ty of hilarious serenaders, who surround
ed the residence of John Burt, in North
Cedarvile, last night met with very
warm reception. Several heads were
cracked and arms broken. while Mr.. Burt
was probably seriously injured.
Mr.. Burt's son Ellison had taken
wife. and. in accord with that curious
custom of alleged humorists of the coun-
try districts. party of young men pro
ceeded TO the house to give them ''sere-
made"
All seemed TO be armed with guns or
pistols. and plentifully supplied with
blank cartridges, for they fired fusilsdc
about the house. causing a deafenine din.
TIE "serenade" was not kindly received
by the Burts, who failed TO invite the
noisy crowd in. Mrs. John Burt opened
the front door at the instant gun was
discharged. The charge OF powder went
fun in her face and she fell unconscious
to the floor The crowd then went 10 a
door I'm the rear and fired a volley of
blank cartridges through II into the room.
Mr.. Burt and his son ran out OF the
house and charged on the crowd with
cordwood sticks. Young Burt was knock
ed down with the barrel Of gun and bad
" hurt. Several Of the serenaders were
severely punished. and some wrists and
arms were broken by the Burts' ccrdwood
sticks.

In some notes and comments" in the
Chicago Standard, Rev. Or. j. G. Hiden
mas the following paragraph:
1.-THE disposition TO show respect TO the
dead is a peculiarly human feeling, par
ticipated in by no brute. While some or
the brutes are evidently endowed with the
rudiments Of thought. still there is no
animal except man that shows any respect
for the dead body Of one Of ii Cwn species.
Grief for the loss of n companion is one
thing. and respect shown 10 the dead
body Of one Of our own species is quite
another: and this human disposition to
show respect 10 our lead is. to my mind,
one Of the strongest. though perhaps one
Of the Obscurcst evidences Of our i'm
mortality. We instinctlyely feel respect
for the tabernacle OF clay. because II has
been the dwelling OF an immortal spirit.
When Hotspur had fallen I'm the combat
with Prince Henry, and the noble spirit
had taken its flight. Shakespeare makes
Prince Henry say q quote from memory:
when that this body did contain
spirit.

But now two PAGES of the vilest earth

I'VE cannot imagine Prince Henry ut
tering these words without feeling I'm his
soul respect for the corpse OF the noble
and chivalrous foe who had just fallen
by his hand. Mark Antony. standing
over tho PROSTATE form of his enemy
Marcus Brutus shows much OF the same
human feeling. When Prince Henry had
been informed that falstaff was dead
he remarked, 4 could have better spared
a better man.. Here We see that he had
no respect for Falstaff's character. ana
yet he IS grieved to lose him: for Sir
John had amused him. and amusement
IS very important 10 some men. The
contrast between respect and grief for
the dead is here clearly brought out by
the great dramatist. Again. Davh

the Lords Anointed had been slain by

for Saul had shown himself n dishonora-

Tue societies of Christian Endeavor
have been ruled out OF utilization with
Methodist churches by the general con.
ference at Cleveland which desires that
the young people be held in their re
ligious teachings more closely to the
particular tenets of that church. This
will necessitate all their Christian
Endeavorers becoming Epworth Leag-
ures. The Presbyterian general
assembly has also been wrestling with
the subject at Saratoga but will in al!
probability adopt the more liberal course
of allowing the societies to continue as
now constituted. The first pledge a
Christian Endeayorer takes is loyalty to
to his " church of whatever denoln-
nation, and by a majority OF Presby-
terians this is considered sufficient the
illogical restraint.

He estimates the total number of sheep

the result Of natural increase, and the
amount Of wool that will be shipped this
