PROJECTlLES Pillow BURROWS.

Salem, N. j., Aug. ol.-The fact has lust
been made public that when the artilery
officers were experimenting recently with
the guns at Fort du Pont, on the Delaware
shore, much damage was done in the lower
part of Salem county by projectiles. The
targets were set up in the bay, and it was
evidently the intention of the officers TO have
them so hit that they would sink, but in.
stead the shells hit the water, ricochetted
and barely escaped serious damage in the
meadow of William @. Reeves, in Elsipboro
township. The proiectles, about 10 in
number. plowed up great burrows 20 feet
long and almost as wide and the sod was
thrown distance of nearly 100 feet.
The farmers of Salem county enphaticallv
declineto have their soil turned in this way,
and it is said they will ask the authorities
to be more careful in the future.

This is the waste entailed upon the
farmers products by clay roads. 1t
is enough to keep in repair 80, 600
miles of turnpike at an annual cost of
$50 per mile.
In New Jersey, where the good roads
reform movement had its beginning,
the question has often been asked: "Do
good roads pay?" The answer to this
question may be found in the fact that
the property in Union county alone,
whore many thousands of dollars have
been expended in the Improvement of
hard roads, has actually appreciated in
value far more than the cost of the
roads, and this is not only in cases of
sale or exchange but upon the tax levy.
Notwithstanding the fact that $500, 600
worth of county bonds had been issued
to build these roads and the interest
must he met annually the tax rate has
not been increased in the county or in
an. city in the county in consequence
OF the extra interest expense, and it is
but fair to say that the actual apprecia-
ton of property due to the increased
value of land benefited by the improved

OLD SETTLER PASSES AWAY.
Dud Richard, Prospector and Freight
er, Dead.

With the passing of bud Richard,
who died at the county poor house
last Monday, another Of the old guard
of pioneers and frontiersmen, who
have made the west a fruitful theme
for the brush of the artist, the pen
OF the poet. and the inspiration of the
orator, Is released from tie bondage
OF toll, misery, pain and deprivation
which have too often darkened the
dying days Of the old-timer.
The story of his life Is the story OF
hundreds Of others who came to the
west with the first wagon train, when
life was young. body was vigorous and
hope was high, confident in the for
tune which awaited him in the land
Of the setting sun. fearless of the dan
gers Of the forest and plain. In the
early sixties he was a freighter, and
with others of his craft who banded
together for mutual protection from
the ~onslaughts of the Indians, trans
ported the necessities OF life from Fl.
Benton, the head of the w.. ssouri's
navigation, to the settlements which
were s%pringing up or to the westward.
Soon wearying of the precarious live
lihood to be gained from this calling,
he left his wagon and oxen to join
the wild stampede to Last Chance
gulch, where discoveries of fabulous
richness were reported. Disappoint-
ed. but not undaunted at his failure
to locate a paying claim at that place,
he turned once more with the trans
lent throng to dig again for the gold
en- treasure in the lodges of old Yogo.
After having made a trip back to
Fort Benton to claim as a bride a
half breed girl who had caught his
fancy in the days gone by. and held
II through the passing months of pros
pecting. he settled down in Yogo
gulch to dig from the earth or gain
by trading. ~sustenance for his wife
and the babes, which came with the
years to add to his labor and respon-
sibility.
For awhile, fortune, most tickle OF
the fates, smiled upon him. Horses
accumulated; his cattle browsed upon
the adjacent hillsides; but misfor-
tune, which follows close in fortunes
footsteps, anne upon him, scattered
and destroyed his droves of horses
and cattle, leaving HIN nothing but
a claim near Utica, where he once
more made a stand against the dread
| approach of poverty. by going back
to his old occupation Of freighting,
Great Falls this time being his sup
plying point.
But the rigors of many winters, the
exposure of many days in rough
camps and on shelterless plains be-
gan to bend, to lame and halt the
once splendid frame. Broken In
health. a victim to dependency, par
alytic. he once more started out to
grapple with the problem of feeding
his family and himself, only to feel
.once more the clutch of the disease
which made him thankful for the hos.
pitality of the county.
Possessed of many of the faults,
afflicted with many of the frailties OF
which humanity is heir, old bud Rick
ard. as he was sometimes called, was
yet endowed with many OF those quail
tiles of bravery, hardihood and blum
sincerity which have made of this
western wilderness an empire, grow
