Among the improvements to our railroad

ing last, at the parsonage, by having sup
per prepared for them on their arrival,
which the pastor and his family seemed to

shake by the Pastor.
The M. E. Sunday School held their
Easter service in the M. E. Church Sunday
night when a very pretty program was

The fishermen in the bay are doing nicely.
At last report some making over one hun
bred dollars day. The fish are not SO
plentiful, but prices are very high. The
river fishermen are not doing so we'll, as
the shad seem to stay down the bay while
thecool stormy weather lasts.
The stormy weather the last few days
has stopped the work of laying water pipes,
and the building of several houses now
under way here.
Speaking of the needs of Paulsboro, we
think one of the worst needs at this time is
some way to keep order among the drink
ing class among us. On Monday last
there was a most disgraceful sight on
Broad street-three men drunk and fight
ing almost naked; one knocked another
down on the sidewalk-while number OF
men and boys stood by and allowed the
disgraceful scene to go on. OF course we
have no town officers. IT'S said the Town
ship Committee have as much power as a
Borough Council; if so they do not show ii
so far as maintaining order in the town is
concerned. Must these abuses continue
and we say nothing about them?
Mr.. Percy Lodge came home from the
bay Saturday where he had been fishing

DIR. Geo. G. Laws was at Paterson, N. j.,
