Teachers Association.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Burlington County Teachers Association,

mornings and English Literature in the
afternoons. The books to be used will be

A Good Dog.

Robbie Kirkland, of Smithville, aged
about years, owes his life to the bravery
and intelligence of his pet Newfoundland
dog. Robbie and the dog were on the
wharf near the machine shops one day last
week, and by some mishap the boy fell
overheard Of course he could not swim
and his cries for help were unheard. Rap
idly the little fellow began floating down
the stream, and with almost human in
stinct the dog went to his rescue. He
Jumped into the water and it was only a
short time when he had the boy by the
coat dragging him safely to the shore.
While crying from exhaustion and
fright, the brute dropped his charge and
ran off for assistance. He first went to
the residence of Thomas Powell, where he
made a great racket His actions excited
suspicion, and Mr. Powells two daugh-
tiers concluded to follow him, and they
were led to the river bank where the boy
was found, more dead than alive. With
out waiting for further orders, the dog
bounded off again and went straight to the
home of Robbie's mother. 1t took her
but few moments to realize that some
thing was wrong, for the dogs entreaties
spoke nearly as plainly as words. The
mother also followed, and while proceed
ing to the creek, she was met by party
bringing her little one home The brave
dog belongs to William Dickerson, an un-
: Gle of the boy, and it is considered a jewe
by all the residents of the neighborhood.

The Court Impugned.

Judge Gaskill was justly indignant, on
Friday. Lee A. Stroud, of Jacksonville,
had applied for a license to keep hotel
at that place, and remonstrance had
been filed against the granting of the re-
quest.
Pending discussion on the case Judge
George M. Kimble were in the court room.
They did not answer, and then Judge
Gaskill created a sensation by making re-
marks in substance as follows
"Since notice was given that applica-
ton was to be made at this term for a
license for this hotel it has been alleged
that Styer and Kimble, both of whom
were notified to be in Court to day, have,
in company with Frank Rigg, made the
statement publicly on various occasions
that there was no use getting up re-
monstrance in this case, as the Court had
been fixed. Such aspersions on the
Court will not be permitted to pass I'M
noticed, and it is therefore ordered that
subpenas be issued for all three of these
men, and they be required to appear here
on Friday next, when an opportunity will
be given them to make any statement
they may deem advisable"
The first report was that George Rigg
had made the accusation but that gentle
man, having heard the rumor, promptly
appeared and requested to be put upon
the witness stand, when he soon showed
that he was entirely free from any con-
nection with the affair. The others will
have chance to give an explanation on
Friday.

A Lawyer Disbarred.

Samuel Evans Mares, lawyer prac-
ticing in the Philadelphia court, was dis
barred from practice on Saturday. on an
opinion handed down by Judge Arnold.
Mr. Mares is son of Thomas W. Maires
the well known justice of the peace at
Riverton.
The proceedings against Mr. Mares
were instituted by the censors of the Law
Association after an investigation which
had occupied many months Under the
decision of the Court the rule against
Mares was made absolute and his disbar-
ment ordered in the following words in
the opinion of Judge Arnold Upon the
facts as developed before us, we are con
strained to say that Mr.. Mares is unfit to
be continued longer as a member of the
Bar of this Court, and that an order will
be made striking his name from the roll
thereof"
Judge Arnold delivered lengthy opin-
ion in which he severely criticised Mares
and his methods, reviewing the case on
which the proceedings were brought The
case was the suit of a woman to recover
damages from Traction Company. A
verdict of So, 900 was rendered, but an APP
peal was taken. Pending its settlement,
the plaintiff died and her mother was sub
stituted. With her Mares made an agree
ment to pay her 81, 900, she to sign away
all rights to any damages that might be
collected.
An investigation developed that Mares
had been following this custom for some
time. Judge Arnold said ''the right to
bring these suits involves another com
mon law offence, that of common barbar-
ity Persons who did not care to bring
suit, or who were unwilling to invest
money in the moderate cost of lawsuit
were hunted by the assistants or students,
Office boys or runners of Mares, as these
pests are called, and thus litigation was
made and dishonesty ensued in the divis
ion of the spoils.
Referring to Mares construction of
his agreements, the Judge said; Either
way we look upon his dealings as a cham
pertor, barrator or dishonest partner we
find no mitigation whatever, no excuse
for his conduct No lawyer with prop
er sense of the dignity of the profession,
as we'll as his own self-respect as a man,
will stoop to such practices as have been
laid bare in the present proceedings. Not
even death can keep these ghouls of So
ciety at bay; their emissaries invade the
house of mourning; they enter the
hospitals; no place is sacred from their
intrusion"

Base Ball.

The base ball season opened on Satur-
day, at the fair ground. The visiting
club was Stecher's Riverside aggregation,
which was defeated by the score of ~ to D.
The game was interesting for four in
nings, after which the visitors lost theil
grip and made number of costly errors
Stecher's support was poor, and he retired
from the box at the end of the sixth in
ing.
Black pitched good game considering
that he has had no practice. Rushworth
Mount Holly's new short stop, made 9
good impression. He seems to be a good

New Egypt.

Since THE News correspondent men
toned the proposed iron bridge over
Crosswicks creek there has been some talk
among the taxpayers in regard to it and it
seems to be the consensus of opinion that
New Egypt is certainly entitled to new
bridge and an iron one at that. The
Board of Freeholders, at their meeting in
May, ordered a new iron bridge at Cass-
vile, miles from this place. Unless our
taxpayers make some move at an early
date another iron bridge will be built in
some remote part of the county and New
Egypt will again be left out in the cold.
Freeholder Camp is willing to make the
requisition as soon as public sentiment is
ready to sustain him.
At an early hour Saturday morning
burglars broke into Cottrell's carriage
factory and, securing the blacksmith
tools, proceeded to the post office building
and blew up the safe in the rear room OF
that office. The top part of the safe was
completely demolished but the lock re-
fused to give way and the burglars got
nothing from the safe. There was about
5000 in stamps and $18 in money in the
safe 1t is supposed the burglars were
frightened by Mrs. Charles Green, who
heard the two reports of the explosions,
and raised window in her residence OPP
posite the post office After leaving the
post office the burglars went to VIM.
Burtiss stables and stole a horse and a
two seated drop top phaeton. Nothing
definite was known until daylight Satur-
day morning, when the damages and
losses were discovered by Postmaster
Chambers and Mr.. Burtis. Mr.. Cottrell's
tools were found at the post office, where
they had been left by the burglars in
their haste. Much excitement prevailed
in the town Saturday and messages were
sent in every direction by Superintendent
Burtis. When last seen the men were
going in the direction of Trenton at rapid
rate. The team was recovered near Tren-
ton on Sunday.
