"A dog with donkey ears is affording
amusement to curiosity seekers at Mil
ton, near Railway, Just now The dog is
small of stature, and is certainly long on
ears, short of tail and abbreviated as to
legs. Whether the dog fops the ears or
the ears wag the dog, is dividing the
families by discussion, and matters are
getting serious. The dog says nothing,
but looks wise.
Many Of the citizens of Bridgeton are
urging city council to buy the Tumbling
Dam park property for $4,000. This
property is very beautiful, including
hundreds of acres of beautiful groves,
two lakes and race way mile in length.
The property has been used by the public
for hundred years, but in order to settle
an estate, it is now offered for sale in
small lots, and the groves will all be cut
off. To save the park the city will pro-
badly buy it.
State Entomologist John B. Smith,
of New Brunswick, had to have six boys
arrested on Wednesday night to save their
lives. The eutomologist has some fruit
trees in his back yard with which he is
experimenting. He poisons the fruit in
order to kill insects. On Wednesday he
saw some boys climbing over his fence,
and surmising that they were after the
fruit started out to warn them. The boys
saw him coming and ran away before he
could explain his object for protecting the
fruit. The professor then asked the po-
lice of the city to arrest the boys so that
they could be warned, and promised to
confine their raids to wholesome orchard
in the future. Prof. Smith has his orch
ard posted with signs warning passersby
that the fruit is poisoned, but the boys
evidently don't believe in signs.
Miss Mary Snyder, of Washington,
who is about 20 years old, went to. the
Paterson hospital to undergo an opera
ton. She has been greatly troubled with
lump that has appeared upon her side.
Miss Snyder has suffered for several years
and was at a hospital twice without receiv-
ing any beneficial results. The growth
upon her side only appeared recently, and
her mother now thinks it is caused by
domino that the young lady swallowed
when she was baby. While playing
upon the floor she suddenly gave scream
and in reply to her mothers anxious
question she pointed to her throat and
tried to say domino One of the dominoes
was missing. 1t is now thought that the
cause of Miss Snyder's present illness is
due to the domino swallowed when she
was child, although, strange to say,
nothing was said to the hospital authorizes
about the accident when she was at the
hospital upon the other occasions.
