An InterestIna .oeeasion.

Perhaps never before in the history of
our country, has there been a greater, a
more universal display of the national
colors than at the present time, when they
are found adjoining cities, towns, villages
and farm houses, and even in the forests
depths, and on the mountains peak, or,
where the foot of loyal American has
trodden, the flag of his country must e bat
above him and greet his eye, while his
heart throbs with genuine patriotism. Last
Friday afternoon pole and flag were
erected at Washington school house, Harrison
township. About seventy-fve persons par
ticipated in the exercises, among them
four teachers, and three members of the
Board of Education. The handsome new
fl " was drawn to its position by the hand
Of little Ethel Costello. The spectators
united in singing the "Star Spangled
Banner and much enthusiasm prevailed.
At the close Of the exercises the children
and guests we're treated to ice cream and
cake furnished by the teacher, Miss Lewis
very pleasant social hour followed, and
it is gratifying to all in the township to
know that the beautiful and important
object lesson taught by the flag, may be
instilled into the minds of the children
whose eyes will be greeted each day by
the banner that floats above their pleasant
school room which is so favorably located

BRIDGEPORT.

i Memorial Day wss gala day at this
place last Monday. The morning being
somewhat threatning, many were fearful
that the program would be marred, but
bunting was flung to the breeze at early
morn, and each house seemed to strive to
out-do its neighb r. The Town Hall was
deliberately draped with flags and bunting
and pot flowers added greatly to the
identifying of the hall. Before the hour
arrived for the services at the hall. the
clouds broke away, and the sun shone out
to brighten the day a. d the occasion. Long
before the commencement of the services
the hall was filed to its fullest capacity,
there being about four hundred persons in
the building, and about one hundred who
could not get standing room within. Mr..
William ]. Helms was Marshal of the day,
and did his part of the work in a mastery
way. The services were opened by prayer
by Rev. ]. Ward Clark, of Port Norris,
formerly of this place, after which the
Rev. 5. M. Chatten, of Bridgeport, made
the Introductory address. The Rev. San
ford NJ Nichols, OF Pennsgrove. the orator
of the day. made very able and interest
ing address. VIM. p. Haines the Fighting
Quaker, followed with very interesting
talk. The choir of the NJ E. church lead
10 the singing OF National hymns, which
was highly appreciated. The music was
by the Independent Band, of Woodbury.,
which did itself and the occasion great
credit After the services in the hall. a
line of march was taken up comprising a
bicycle company, the band, the Jr. 0. u. A.
NJ, company OF small boys, each carry
ing the emblems of their country, and
their eyes sparkling with the patriotism of
true young Americans. A large delega-
ton in carriages brought up the rear The
line of march was down Mechanic street
its entire length, up Front street, then to
the cemetery, where the graves of the
many heroes whose remains have been laid
at rest, were decorated with flags and
fl wers by loving hands The Jr. o A.
NJ. fired the usual salutes at each of the
cemeteries. This will be remembered as the
grandest occasion of the kind ever held at
this place, and has made az impression on
the minds of many that will be cherished
for many years. AS the year come, may
interest in the occasion grow stronger, and
the patriotism Of our people be cultivated
to the nations honor and glory.

In brief report of the trial of the case
of Edward Burning VS.. The Glassboro
Bank last week we stated that the note
was given for discount. The statement
was erroneous, the note being to cover an
over draft in the account of William FL
Burning, and was endorsed by Edward
Banning. 1t will be recalled that non
suit was ordered in that case. An appeal
to the Supreme Court will probably be
taken.
Friday .. M, the case of William Fl.
Burning VS.. The Glassboro Bank went to
trial before Jury. S. s. Iszard and ex-
Judge d.. Pancoast for the bank and Sam'l
M. Roberts and A. II. Swackhamer for
Burning.
This suit is brought to recover 5000 paid
on the Edward Burning overdraft note and
$500 of deposits for which he alleges no
credit was given him by the bank. Trial
was begun at noon on Friday and adjourn
ed at the evening recess until Tuesday of
the present week. Both parties have pro-
duced their books, and these form the basis
of testimony on tn sides. The case is
still on as we go to press
On Saturday Judge Jessup considered
licenses and granted all applied for except
those of Charles j. Holdstein, in Wood
bury, and George Howarth, at Almonesson,
which were refused, and those of Edw.
Elliott and George Cruthers, Williams
town, William Lickfield GIassboro and
e. w. Steelman, Clayton, were laid over
until Thursday of the present week to
hear remonstrants.
The trial Of indictments, set down for
Wednesday vas postponed yesterday, to
