A SOLID FARM GATE.

ahead. and that would have put up ten
good gates.
The gate photographed was made
six or seven years ago. at the entrance
10 the barnyard. We combined two
objects in this gate-strength anddur-
ability, and lightness to handle. We
have deep SHOWS and snowdrifts, and
we hung the gate SO that it could be
raised up to pass over the snow. The
gate is four feet long and four and q
half feet high. For the gate pieces we
used six-inch Eastwood. well seasoned.
The ends and center strips are three
inches, made out of the same kind OF
wood. The first. third and filth strips
from the bottom we allowed to project
out TO hold the gate in place. In case
hogs are turned into the yard the bot
tom piece holds them from pushing and
sfraining the gate. The hangers are
Of our own get-up and seen to answer
the purpose in every respect. In max
ing the hangers we use wagon tire two
inches wide and about two and a half
feet long. The iron was heated and
bent in the shape Of a rub Iron on q
wagon-box. only allowing two or more
inches in the side turn TO permit the
gate TO swing. The hangers are
fastened TO the post with four-inch
wood screws. This gate has now been
in use several years and is as sound as
ever: we have another gate made OF
Eastwood that has been constructed

all means build your gates of either

The Murder Trial.

Next Wednesday, April s, the trial of
Peter Brandt, charged with the murder of
his brother William, on Sept. IA, las, will
begin in Woodbury.. Prosecutor Starr and
assistant A. L. Rogers, will conduct the
prosecution, while A. H. Swackhamer, Esq,
will represent the defendant. Briefly, the
story Of the unfortunate affair is that the
Brandt Bros. conducted a poultry farm be-
tween Newfeld and Malaga. About July
last William moved to Atlantic City, where,
in addition to selling their poultry, he was
engaged in other business. He returned
Sept. 1, and took up his residence in New
field On the fatal Sunday, with his wife
and child, he started for the farm to have a
settlement. About hallway resides a
brother-in-law, where they stopped, and
where the wife and child spent the balance Of
the day, while William went to Peters,
Trouble arose in the settlement, William
demanding a larger share of the profits by
reason of having sold the poultry at ATTAIN
tic City, while Peter contended that such a
division was unfair to him, as he would
realize less than if they had sold at New
field. VIM, who is alleged to have been a
man of violent temper, and more powerful
than Peter, twice assaulted his brother, and
threatened to kill him, followed him from
house to house, demolished furniture. etc,
until the fatal shot was fired, and the
earthly controversy between the brothers
was ended Able counsel will place the
facts before twelve honest men, and a
verdict in accordance Herewith will be
rendered

bill under which men who served in the
Third and Fourth Regiments, New Jersey
Volunteers, during the war with Spain,
will receive from the State the amount
charged against them for such articles Of
National Guard clothing as they were re-
quired to discard for clothing issued by the
government.
The law does not apply to men of the

mission which drafted the bill having de-
cided that the men of these regiments re-
ceived full value in service for the money
charged for clothing issued by the State.
SOME TRANSFERRED MEN.
The few men of the First, Second and
Third Regiments, who upon being trans
ferred to the Fourth Regiment, turned in
old overcoats for new ones, will receive the
amount charged for the old overcoats.
The men of the Fourth Regiment will
receive the amount charged for the State
blouse and trousers.
The men of the Third Regiment will re-
ceive the amount charged for the State
overcoat, blouse and trousers.

act should mail their discharges to the
