Palmyra.

Mrs. William Grassie saw dog in her
chicken yard chasing some hens Thursday
and went out to drive him away. The
dog was so intent on his victim that he
did not notice Mrs. CRASHES approach,
and she grabbed him by the back of the
neck. But as soon as she touched him he
sprang at her with savage fury and tore
and mangled her terribly about the arms
and shoulders before rescued by her hus-
band. When Mr.. Grassle approached the
animal ran off and bit several other dogs
before he was finally shot. He had every
appearance of being rabid, and much
alarm Is felt among residents who own
dogs.

Resolutions adopted by the trustees and
official board of the M. E. Church, of
Mount Holly, at meeting called to take
action upon the sudden death of Mrs.
Kate B. Dobbins, wife of John H. Dob
bins, Esq one of it's members.
ResoLUed. That we record with very deep
regret the sudden death of Mrs. John II. Dob
bins, the beloved wife and true help-meet of
our brother, so long an efficient member of
this board and an earnest co-worker with us
for Christ.
That the deceased possessed personal and
social qualities of a high order, and to her gen.
eral culture was added rs re musical gifts, and
all these she devoted with unflattering zeal
and fidelity to the upbuilding of Christs king
dom among us during the many years of her
membership in this church; and while we as
a church deeply deplore the sudden removal
of our esteemed co-laborer, we rejoice In the
fact that she was one of Christ's own and
that her call came while at the post of duty in
the church, whose altar became to her the very
gate of Heaven.
That we desire TO express our deepest sym
pathy for our associate and his family, who
are so sadly Dereaved. and can only commend
them for comfort 10 the Great Head of the
Church who hath promised that His grace
shall be sufficient tor us in every trying hour.

Bordentown, where they had a horse and
wagon at hotel, which they intended to

him into his wagon, which be did, and it
was then that Flemming was accused of
relieving him of the money. At the hear
ing no evidence was produced to fasten il
upon Flemming, and he was at once dis

Camden Kicks.


The manager of the Camden foot bali
team, which was so badly defeated here
on Saturday, objects to Mount Holly
claiming the championship, and sent the
following to the city papers,
Camden, N, j., Nov. IA.
Dear Sir ~ notice in to-day's issue of the
Press, in the account of the A. A. C.-Mount
Holly game, that Mount Holly claims the
championship of South Jersey. This claim
the A. A. G. certainly disputes, as they have
held The championship tor the past five years,
and still hold it, by virtue of having defeated
all OF the eleyens in its class, and has defeat
ed Mount Holly three times out of four games
played. Therefore the A. A. c. considers
Mount Holly's claim absurd, and refuses to
recognize it, as they consider one victory out
of tour games played very poor grounds upon
which to make such a claim. When Mount
Holly really wins the championship the A.
A. G. will be the first TO recognize 1t. Hopin &
you will give this as prominent space as the
other, L remain, Yours truly,
A. L. MiCHENER,
Manager A. A. O.
OF course it is quite natural for Camden
to protest. She feels very sore at the re.
suit of Saturdays game, as the team was
never before so badly beaten, To be un
able to score was certainly bitter pill
! Manager Stewart does not allow the
cialm haoo III Sho aooFo pIOtoSI. nc aC
knowledges that Camden has won three
out of four games, but two of the thret
were won last year, and the champion
ship for 1896 is not disputed. OF the two
games played this year, Camden took the
first by the score of II to 6; Mount Holly
took the other, to 0, and all followers 0
foot ball will acknowledge that this score
shows which club has the strongest play
ers.
However. as Camden wants to have
third game Mount Holly will willingl,
play it. Arrangements have been mad
to play the game at Camden on Thanks
giving day.
