A Barn Burned.}

William G. Leap who lives on the
Latcham farm two miles from Penn's
Grove met with a heavy loss on Mon
day by having his barn burned. About
IL O'Clock in the forenoon flames broke
out in some straw near the barn yard,
and soon spread over the yard to the
barn which was consumed to ashes in
an hour.
The cow went under the shed and
Mr.. Leap ran through the flames and
tried to drive them out. Only one was
saved and that was badly burned, while
five cows and a calf were roasted to
death. MI. Leap in going through the
flames was badly burned sol that his
face is swelled beyond recognition.
There was nearly five tons of hay in
the barn.
Some trash was burned in the morn
ing and it is supposed a spark from that
caused the fire.
The loss is estimated to be from $500
to 5 $1,000. There was an insurance of
$500 on the barn. Some friends have
given him hay and subscriptions have
been raised TO help repay his loss.

Historic Note

The Salem Standard this week in its
"Ancient History" under date of JAN
uary 26, 1860, has the following: "Over
this date VIZ find an obituary notice
written by William H. Stephens on the
death Of DR.. William S. Vanneman, Of
Penn's Grove. In the notice we find
these words: s'Thus has passed away Il
good man, an afectionate husband, q
kind father, and a pillar in the chuTcl,
Of Cod" The funeral sermon of DR..
Vanneman was preached by Rev. Geo.
Hitcheps from the text II know that
my Redeemer liveth." (Dr. Vanneman
was the grandfather OF Robert N. Van,
neman, now Sheriff of Salem county.
The writer was acquainted with DR..
Vanneman and it is his opinion that nc
more popular gentleman aver lived in
the township of Upper Penn's Neck.
His funeral was said to be the largest
that had ever occurred in that com.
munity up to that date and we doubt il
there ever has been one siuce attended
by SC many people.r'

A Remarkable Man

Benz. f. McCollister, of Swedesb0r0,
was in town last week TO do some sur
veyiDg. He has been q remarkable man
i'll his day, remarkable Al an old time
educator, surveyor, pennan and pedes-
trian. No finer legal papers were ever
drawn in penmanship than what Mr..
McC0llister has done.
The Swedesboro Ne,ss recently said,
ssOur highly esteemed t0Wnsman Mr..
Benjamin f. McCollister is now de-
voting some Of his leisure moments to
drawings with his pen. and we have
had the pleasure OF looking at some
magnificent specimens of his work in
that line. His designs are original in
all respects, and it is safe to say that he
has few equals in pen work, while there
ale probably few men of his age who
would have the patience aud Steadiness
Of hand to execute the work as he does
it. Mr.. McAllister is in tbs 82d year
Ut his age, and still a remarkable man
both mentally and physically, due to his
mode Of living, which has always been
to observe rules of moderation in all
things. Most remarkable in any one
respect in his walking record. MI. Nc
Coilister estimates that the distance he
has walked in his life time would take
him twice around the world. He still
enjoys walking and thinks nothing of
walking to I'enn'S Grove and back in
a day."
After commenting on above the PENIS
Grove correspondent to the South
J~erseynaan said: THE writer has some
very pleasant ~recOllecti0nS Of Mr.. Nc
Allister when he was a resident Of this
place In The early ifties and taught
school in the old Harmony school house.
Some of our older residents no doubt
can call to mind some Of the 0ccurren-
ces Of those days. While he wa as
kind and gentle as a teacher need be,
but when the Case required it, the idle,
dis0bedent pupil would be likely to feel
the force OF his vigorous hand. The
| pupil who failed to make progress un.
der Mr.. McAllister's care was alto
| gether to blame I have always been
| glad that it WAS my good fortune to he
Il pupil of his at that time. II l mis-
take not Prof. Chas. Rain, who has OBJ.
tanned considerable eminence as an edu.

ence, and MANY other successful and
prominent business men, were pupils 0i

the vertical line MAS introduced ant
which has been much used in The public
schools. 1t has not BEEN my good
pleasure to meet Mr. McAllisier for q
number Of years, but am glad to know
that he is still hale and hearty"
Mr.. McC0ilister lived In PENIS Grove
from SO to So years ago, during which
time he mostly taught school and die
surveying at odd times. In 1844-46 h,
lwas elected on The School Committee
