WILLIAM MILLIGAN died at his home
on Delaware street at 3 o'clock a. M, We'd
nesday, the Path inst, in the ed year of
his age.
Mr.. Milligan had been i'll for several
months, and soon after the beginning of
the school year last September was obliged
to reliBquish active duties, and finally all

him SO well was shocked at the news of his
kdeath
Mr.. Miltigan was one of the pioneers in
the development of education and the
public school system in New Jersey, and a
hasty and necessarily incomplete sketch OF
his labors in line of his profession will be
interesting to our people

early SpriDgtime, when the soft Southern

pleasure. Such visit is affor ED by the

Interest, including the new Congressional
Library, which, with its grand marble

realization of dream of the ancients. Here
are the Golden Apples of the Hesperides,
ripening beneath a sky more beautiful than
that of Rome, and in a climate more perfect

or Hesiod ever conceive of garden richer
in verdant beauty, more productive OF
luscious fruit, or set amid more picturesque
and lovely surroundings.

About o'cl ,ck last Monday morning,
the residence of Edward Pierce and wife,
an aged couple, just off the turnpike
between Woodbury. and Mantua, was de-
stroyed by fire. and but for a faithful dog,
Mrs. Pierce, the only occupant at the time,
would have persisted in the q ,mes The
furious barking of the dog awakened her
at the hour stated, and the smell Of smoke
told at once the cause OF the animals action
The fire was SO far advanced that Mrs.
Pierce was enabled to save only few
articles, principally of clothing. Neigh
bors VIM. Howey and Muller. hurried to
the rescue, and kept the & lines from the
nearby out buildings
Mr.. Pierce had gone to Burlington with
his sister on Saturday, and remained over
Sunday, and returned to fnd his home in
ashes. The loss is estimated at $4,000,
with an insurance OF 81 900 on building, and
$500 on contents, in the Pennsylvania Fire,
through E. G. Leeds & Co.'S agency.
The fire is supposed to have originated
from defective hue.
