Harry Shuster, who has been sick for the
last four weeks with typhoid fever and was
somewhat better, had relapse on Sunday
last and is not SO well as formerly.
The fishermen are holding onto the bust
ness this week, although it does not pay
now. They think the season should close
on the 10th of June, as formerly.
Howard Hancock, the Broad street butch
er, was married Tuesday evening to Miss
Christman, of Swedesboro, and gone to
housekeeping in Miss Adamson's house, on
West Buck street. Howard got tired of
keeping house himself. He has very fine
wife, and all his friends here wish him a
happy and prosperous life.
great number of our citizens are going
about town with their sleeves rolled up and
looking as if they wished to be left alone
the effects of the recent wholesale vaccina-
ton. Some of the powder mill workers,
who were required to be vaccinated or quit
work, have been compelled to lay off a
week or ten days with sore arms, which,
we think, shows that there was danger of
a general spread of smallpox if once started
here.
The two smallpox patients are doing
nicely. The quarantine was complete, and
no new cases have developed, so we think
the disease is stamped out for this Summer,
at least.
Samuel johnson, fireman on the ferry
boat here, hurt himself Sunday and is home
this week resting up.
The ferry boats make regular trips every
md fc Mo 10 70
| Philadelphia; but the trolley on the other
side is not so convenient as last year, there
being walk of an eighth of mile from
| the ferry to cars that should be remedied at
once.
| Three infants were baptized in the M. E.
church last Sunday, and very pleasant
children's service held in the evening, with
speaking and singing, assisted by the Pauls-
| boro orchestra.
w. J. Adamson is looking after the Re-
publican voters in this county now with
the hope of being nominated for Assembly
man to represent this district, and says he
expects to get there.
The Baptist people will hold festival on
the NJ E. church lawn Saturday afternoon
and evening of this week, and they ask the
public to come and enjoy themselves and
help good cause along.
Richard Richards has contracted with
G. NJ. Titus to build house on Delaware
street.
Last Sunday was Flower Day at the sew
eral churches The M. E. church was very
handsomely decorated with pot flowers,
| ferns and cut flowers. After the evening
entertainment, which was conducted by the
Sunday school, number of handsome bou-
quets were distributed. The Baptist
church was also nicely decorated with flow
ers and ferns, and the Sunday-school enter
tainment in the evening was grand success.
The music, singing and Rotations were
very nice. Mr.. Geo. Longstreth, the super
intendent, and his assistants deserve great
deal Of credit
| Poor Harry Wilkerson has got into trouble
once more. The Township Committee en-
| ployed him to trim the shade trees in town,
and he shouldered his Ratchet, saw and
ladder, and started, but soon struck a snag.
Some of the ladies did not appreciate his
kindness. We have often heard Of persons
being run up trees, but he was run down
and had to call an officer. He retreated in
pretty good shape We wish him better
luck next time.
