If there is anything neaner than
killing a neighbor's dog l don't know
what it is. No less than Ave dogs
have been killed within short time,

We, the people of sandyston, Wall
pack and Montague, are vitality in
teresied as to whether the d. V. r.
r. comes up the river on the Jersey
side or not. Now that the ruad is
built to Bushkill, our people should
take a hand in and see what can be
done toward getting the right Of way
through the three townships west of
the mountain. We did have some
advantages from the ID. L. 4 w. r.
r., but they cut no figure at the
present. There is only one train by
which YOU can reach Branchville
from Newark and II takes all day tc
get from Banchvile to Deckertown,
distance of only II mites. The
management is of the same mind as
Mr.. Vanderbilt, who said: "The pub
lie be damned"
The rain, hail and snow Of the 3rc

Thousands familiar with the tria
of Roland Molineux for the ALLEGED
poisoning of Catharine Adams il
New York will learn with sorrow
that Judge Newburger has refused t,
quash the indictment and this leave
the case just where it was in the be
ginning. Young Molineux has beer
in prison nearly two years and 70
nine months of that time under sen
tence Of death in the death cell a
Sing Sing. The evidence is circum
stantial and the sympathy Of tn
public goes out to the prisoner an,
his brave old father, General Moli
neux. 1t looks as if the lawyer
were keeping this case in court foI
notoriety and fees.
The Sussex county press are firin
at each other rs tc whether Decker
town shall be called Sussex or Deck
ertown. have yet TO hear the frs
person call it by the new name q
Sussex. If the name DeckertOw
has been good enough for the pas
sixty years it is good enough for tn
next and it is hoped that til
courts will settle the question an
leave it Deckertown.

but that Messrs. Hin and McBrid
will impartially perform the dutie
required of them as commissioner
but why not appoint men known E
be favorable to the bin is the questio
asked by many.
