The November Meeting

Of the Board of Freeholders was held
in the Court House, on Tuesday. There
was a full attendance. The reading of
the minutes consumed considerable time
and when they were finished a recess of a
half hour was taken to give the COM
mittees time to examine bills.
The first business upon reassembling
was to confirm the awarding of contract
to ]. R. Stanley for continuing the stone
road through the city of Bordentown.
George Miller, of Moorestown, was Civ
en- the contract to furnish stone for repair
ing roads in the county. AS there was
some difference of opinion regarding the
payment of freight, the awarding of this
contract was made with the understand
ing that Miller is to deliver the stone free
of charge to any railroad station or steam
boat landing in the county.
A bill of Michael T. H. Foley met with
opposition from Mr.. Conrow. The bill
was for plans and estimates on bridges in
Riverside township. For two plans Foley
charged SIS, which Mr.. Conrow thought
was excessive; $50 would have been ample.
There were several items for extras to
which he did not take exceptions.
Mr.. Fairbrother, the Freeholder from
Riverside, defended the bill. There was
no set price for such work and when the
committee met there was nothing said
about the possible charge.
A vote was taken and the Board refused
to pay the bill.
Mr.. Conrow then moved that the sum
of sos be given to Mr.. Fairbrother to ten
der Mr.. Foley, but the former gentleman
said he would not receive it, SO the mo-
ton was withdrawn.
A bill of F. B. Keller, SIS for services at
the funeral of Barney Mccoy, of Borden
town, was ordered paid This bill was
before the Board at its last meeting, and

The cunning season was ushered in un-
der favorable circumstances on Wednes-
day. The day was all that could be de-
sired, and the sports who were out in
large numbers had good time and plen-
ty of luck. The limits for cunning have
been narrowed considerably this season
by the unusual number of notices that
seem to be posted everywhere But the
method now in vogue is to arrange with q
farmer to gun on his premises for a stip-
ulated sum per bead, which is usually one
dollar. This includes good dinner, horse
care and all the good cider one can drink,
and an equal distribution of game among
the party at the close of the day. This
arrangement seems TO be satisfactory to
both parties, as it enables the gunners to
refresh themselves at noon, while the
farmer receives a Klondike for his priv
ilege Under such conditions there is nc
likelihood of trespasslng and very seldom
is any damage done to property. Wilful
and malicious destruction of fences and
the careless manning of cattle have been
the means of many farmers aDridgiDg the
privileges which they have heretofore
generously extended, while others simply
desire to reserve the first day for them
, selves. The Pennsylvania cunning law
! expire at the opening of our season, anC
! for this reason many hunters from tina
state are enabled to get the cream of oul
. opening season. Moderately speaking thi
seems like an outrage. There was an I'M
usually large quantity of game killed.

An Anecdote of Jeremiah Mason.

Mr. Mason was himself once subjected
to a species of cross examination. Be-
ing in Newport, a distinguished member
of the Rhode Island bar, who had never
before met him, had heard of his habit
of asking questions, especially of new
acquaintances, and when presented to
him. he determined to be first in the
field with regard 10 this particular
qualification, and accordingly began
the conversation with a series of ques-
tions. He asked Mr.. Mason whether he
liked this or whether ne affected that,
and some Of the questions were an
swered. while others were parried. FL
nally the interrogation said:
We'll, Mr.. Mason, tell me what you
do like"
Quick as a flash came the reply from
the great New Hampshire lawyer:
Why i like to sit in this chair and
have a Rhode Island lawyer ask me
questions
There were no more questions asked.

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAG

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
in the heart of the Sierras, almost at
the foot of Mount Shasta, and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist. The eligible
ity of the place selected was due TO
rare combination of flowing water, IN
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag. with its
splendid environment, 1t was belieVed
would appeal chiefly TO those who seek
sumemr resort for health recreatlon,
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
inal conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively a family resort: and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and sec
ond floors of this splendid taXern with
board will be furnished at a monthly
rate of $50 person; and rooms on the
third floor with board at monthly
rate of $50 a person.
The accommodations OF the Tavern
are first class in every particular. Its
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
ious. It's verandas are cool and invit-
| ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world.
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting. fishing, riding, BIZ
cycling, walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. The
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California &
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco at o'clock D. M. arriv-
ing early the following morning for
breakfast. which is always ready uDon
the arrival of the train. Returning, tho
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton. Thus both in going and in COM
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied In brief, the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.
