come so common that the authorities in
cities and towns are taking action to pre-
vent the dangerous practice.
Bordentown township is one of the first
in this county to pass an ordinance relat-
ing to automobiles. 1t was published last
week, and governs number of other
points than speed.
Under this ordinance the speed is limit
ed to 10 miles an hour, under penalty of
$40 fine for the first offence and more Sc
we're for subsequent offences; half the
roadway must be given to other convey
ances; autos must have numbers on each
side, at least six inches long, under pen
atty of So; that three lights, two white and
the other red, must be shown at nights,

sounding of a gong or alarm signal shall
not give special privileges to autos over
the ordinary right of way of other ve-
hicles or pedestrians now existing under
the common law.

Notwithstanding the abnormally cool
weather that has prevailed during the
week, all growing and maturing crops are
i'll fine condition. The sunshiny weather
was favorable to finishing up the belated
oat and ha, harvest, and for fall blowing.

scalding is reported, is caring we'll and
promises TO be a fine crop both i'll grain
and fodder. The yield of potatoes will be
the largest for a number of years. In por
tions of Monmouth county, from 100 to
1870 barrels per acre have been gathered.
little rot is noticed in wet fields Win
ter apples, in some places. are very prom
Using, but on the whole the yield will be
ing well, except late tomatoes; the set is
very light, owing to the recent heavy

degrees below the daily normal; and the
precipitation less than half of the average
The sunshine was above the normal,

fall, 10th and 18th, 4.86 inches.
Understandable heavy rainfall on the
10th, from IL M to S P. NJ, S IS inches,
was the heaviest for such period covering
our record of SO years, washing roads and
fields badly; potatoes being stored; total
rainfall, 6.oI inches.

frequent rains have caused much rotting;
late tomatoes not promising; corn in low

Miss Sarah Fowler, of this city, has two
good eyes yet she cannot see. Until few
weeks ago she enjoyed life and the
beauties of nature, when suddenly hel
eyelids closed and refused to open. The
doctors pronounced the disease paralysis
of the eyelids, but it is evidently more
as the lids have become hard, almost ossi-
fed, and resist all efforts to open them, sc
that the young lady is practically blind
though possessed of two good eyes. The
doctors have been holding out promises Of
an ultimate cure though really no progress
has been made in the last few months. A
surgical operation has suggested itself,
but has been postponed in the hope that
the lids would resume their normal func-
tions. Meanwhile Miss Fowler is plung-
ed into total darkness and has to be led
from place to place. The only probable
cause for this strange condition happened
few months ago. although it may have
been only coincidence Miss Fowler and
her brother were romping and skylarking
as young people are wont to do, when the
OioOHcI suuuenly Seizeu ner arm anu DenL

pain. He let go almost Immediately, but
the pain was so great that Miss Fowler

violent headache and when she awoke the
next morning her eyelids were set and
have remained immovable ever since.
Miss Fowler seems to be in perfect health
otherwise, is patient sufferer and is look
ing forward to the time when her sight
will be restored and she will be able to en-
joy life the same as other young people
about her. That her hopes may soon be
realized is the wish of her many friends.
