Gloucester County Girl Kills the First Fox.
Miss Roberta Clark, daughter of Doc.
Chas. S. Clark, of Beuna, Franklin town
ship, will probably receive the first bounty
under the new law authorizing the payment
of So for each fox killed.
On the 18th inst, Miss Clark's attention
was attracted to the baying of dogs, and
looking out she saw seven hounds pressing
close on small animal. As she looked, it
took to tree on her fathers farm, and the
men folks being away, she seized her
fathers gun and went for the game With
palpitating heart she pulled the trigger, and
down came the animal.
When Mr.. Clark, who is one Of the
DEMOCRATS oldest subscribers, came home
at noon and saw the fox, he recalled that
| d
bounty of So for each fox killed, and in
order that his daughter should have the
fame of being the first person in the State
to claim the bounty under the new act,
fastened to Justice VanHook, at Newfeld,
and proved her claim to the bounty, and
the honor of being the first person to kill a
fox since the law was enacted.

Bad Fire Insurance.
The proprietor of one of the hotels burned
in Atlantic City few weeks ago has dis
covered that of his sixteen fire insurance
policies, only one is collectable. The rest
are in wildcat companies located in distant
States and which have no legal right to do
business in this or any other State. The
New Jersey Banking and Insurance depart
ment demands that each and every company
writing fire insurance here shall pay into
the treasury 100000 as a guarantee that
all its losses will be paid. There are be-
tween fifteen and twenty Companies now
doing business here which have never made
that deposit, and as the policies are written
in Chicago at the solicitation of the local
agent there is apparently no way to break
up the practice, until the public learns of
the swindle from costly experience. In case
Of a loss these companies simply refuse to
pay and there is no method by which the
amount due can be collected.
Property owners will do well to carefully
inspect their policies and in case of doubt
have the agent who wrote the policy show
the standing of the company in the annual
report of the insurance commissioner.
