WE are in receipt Of a letter from a gem
tleman from Chester Pa who desires to
put a steamer on between this town and
Philadelphia and his letter TO us is to ask
about the depth of water, etc The
steamer is of ITO tons carrying capacity
and fitted up to carry a limited number
of passengers. She is claimed to make
the run from the Mispillion's mouth in
seven hours At mean low water such
boat can run up and down the Mispillion
without touching, as there is all the water
any one wants Inside the river, but the
trouble is at the mouth where experienced
government engineers have succeeded in
almost entirely closing the navigation of
the river. We, like everybody else in
terested are disguised with the engineer
in charge and disguised with his work
alike. There is either gross incompe-
tencv somewhere or a powerful influence
at work sufficiently influential to gain the
point desired, which in this instance seems
to be the closing of ma igation OF the
Mispillion river.
CT. HARRINGTON, who keeps the store
at the railroad station in Pennington,
prevented a burglary Tuesday night by
wouuding one of the robbers and captur-
ing three others. It was shortly before
midnight when Mr.. Harrington was
awakened bv a suspicious noise. He
listened carefully and was soon convinced
that some ope was breaking into his
store. He armed himself with a revolver
and cautiously avoiding any cause tor
making a noise that would alarm the
thieves, entered his store, The men had
already entered and were going about
their work IN a business like manner. MI.
Harrington got between the men and The
door and ordered them TO surrender. The
robbers acted as if they were going TO
make try for their liberty aud Mr. Har-

IT is no indication Of bad temper to diff
fer with even the one you love most III
the world ANY one who possesses any
claim to a distinct individuality must at
times feel and think on liues apart from
those upheld by others. The husband
and wife who declare that they never had
a single cross word or a single thought
not shared in common are either weak
minded separately or collectively, have
bad memories or are downright story
tellers OF course it Is quite the correct
thing to say after one has been married
twenty five or fifty years that the journey
together has been one long cloudlcss path
way with never the slightest disturbance
in the matrimonial sky It sounds we'll,
aud there is not couple living who Will
not affirm that statement in all sincerity
even though they quarreled like cats and
dogs in the earlier days Of their welded
existence. Speaking Of quarrels brings
us down to what we want 10 talk about
right here Why on earth can't two peo.
pie have a difference Of opinion without
haring up and getting into all sorts OF
personal recrimination and final esirange.
ment Minds need not necessarily run
parallel in order that two people should
live together pleasantly. In fact il seems
10 us that it would be possibly dull aud
prosaic to always think exactly as some
one else does Life would lose much OF
its spice, but as III all cooking let too
much spice get in aud the dish is spoiled.
Nothing so surely weans man from
woman as her persistent and unreasona-
bic quarreling If you don't ike thing
say so, and let that end it; if You do not
agree wish a statement you need not nee
essarily argue yourself into temper that
is not only unbecoming at the time, but
certain to grow with your growth aud
strengthen with your strength The
shrewish woman is the most unpleasant
type in the whole feminine category and
let as whisper that men as rnle are too
big to quarrel; they may not act alto
gether right IN many ways. but the petty,
nagging. inconsequent pickering that
often drags home down around the very
ears Of an unwise wife cannot be laid at
the door of the average man whether he
be married or single.
