When attending the supper at ]. How

by noted artists, is well worth seeing.
Michael Ryan, Risdon street, sold a
COW to William Taylor, on Friday. The

nation failed to reveal the cause of death.
AS one of the trolley cars was about

terday, one of the axles broke, letting

much other damage. A temporary truck
was placed under it and the car taken to
the train yard until new truck arrives.
Mount Holly is to be afflicted with an
other presentation of Uncle Toms Cabin
on March 1st. If this show survives the
storms of adversely which have overtaken
number of other troupes that have been
billed for this town, it will probably be
well received and attended by many who
can ill afford the expense.
The Republican voters met in the ar
mory OF Co. F. on Friday evening, to ap-
point committee to take charge of the
township primary election. Joseph G.
Kingdom was made chairman and Samuel

At the meeting of the County Teachers
Association, on Saturday, the greater part
of the time was devoted to the study of
| physics, under the instruction of w. N.
Mumper, Phi. D. Supt. Stees stated that
drawing would receive special attention
at the next meeting. Resolutions were
adopted commencing the efficient work
eft ex-superintendent Haas in the schools
of Burlington county during his q years
of superlntendency.
Ridgway Hosure, living a short dis
lance from Columbus on the Burlington
road, had an entertainment at his home
he slapped his wife in the face. He then
struck at his son, but the latter lodged,
and the blow was received by his mother.
He then kicked the boy. The two have
been married some seventeen years, and
have three children. Mrs. Hosure con-
Guided to leave her husband, whom she
alleges has been cruel in the extreme. On
Sunday she and her children came to
Mount Holly to live with her father,
Joseph Peak, who resides on Hulme
street. Yesterday the husband was ar
rested for assault and battery.
For long time Mount Holly has been
afflicted with the depredations of gang
of burglars. some of which were not re-
ported to the police until the capture
was effected last week and the booty re-
covered. For some of these robberies in
nocent people have been accused and
their houses searched by officers. One of
the young men has made confession
another, who is under bail to appear as a
witness, recently had falling out with
one of his companions who is now in
jail. Shinn can give corroborating evil
deDce concerning Donnelly's confession,
which will materially assist the state.
The work of these young men has scatter
ed feeling of alarm through the COM
m1nity; an extra Waterman has been
employed to patrol certain portion of
the town at private expense, and in order
to make sure of conviction of the par
ties under arrest, it would seem to be the
duty of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and Messrs. Alcott and Atkinson,
who were robbed recently, and whose
missing property was found in the house
occupied by these men, to make a COM
plant against them, so that there will be
several counts in the indictment that will
probably follow the investigation of the
matter by the grand Jury.
