On Sunday afternoon last as Rev. ". s.
Mitchell, Of the Hurfville n, r Church,
was driving from Hurffyille to Wood
bury TO take train for Camden to
attend funeral be met Captain
b W Cloud in his automobile near Thack-
ara's brick yard. Rev Mitchelrs horse IS
very much afraid of autos, and Mr.. Mitchell
thought he could better control the animal
by taking hold Of his head. Mr.. Cloud
stopped his machine promptly on receiving
warming and as Mr.. Mitchell got out his
horse turned, knocked him down and ran
over him, fracturing his hip. The horse ran
short distance and stopped, without
damaging the buggy G. G. Pearson con-
veyed Mr.. Mitchell to his home, where he
is attended by DR.. Duncan Campbell, Of
this city. Mr.. Mitchellas general health IS
not good, and the shock and injury are the
more serious on that account He is one Of
the strongest preachers in the conference
and was assigned to this charge as desirable
for one in his health. Mr.. Mitchell
attaches no blame to Captain Cloud, who
exercised every precaution. Mr. MitchelIs
horse was new one, and aside from its
fear Of automobiles was gentle and safe
animal. Before going to press we learn that
Mr.. NJ is doing nicely.

Rev. Geo G sutton. April
II.I9o4.

Professor Peter Kahn came from Sweden
In 1748 or thereabouts. at the expense of
the Universities of Upsula and Abo for the
purpose Of discovery and collecting seeds
andIplants which might with advantage be
transferred to Sweden The Rev. Provost
Sandin, who was pastor Of the Raccoon
Church died at this time, leaving widow
and children. The Professor was kindly
sympathetic soul, and he was sorry for the
widow Sandin; moreover, as an educated
man it seemed only proper that he should
care for the Raccoon congregation as a sort
Of lay reader during the vacancy, and 50 he
remained guest in the parsonage during
the winter {you know he could not have
done much gathering Of seeds in the will
derness during the winter) and so and 50
we'll be married the widow Altogether
he spent three years in this country. and
wrote Of his countrymen in New jersey in
the early period of its settlement. They
had neither tea, coffee, chocolate nor sugar
and were too poor to buy intoxicating
drinks or vessels to distili them in The
rstssettlers drank at table, as substitute
for tea. a decoction Of sassafras. For a
long time they continued to make their
candles and soap from bayberry bushes.
Their buckwheat cakes, which were a
standard dish, were baked on frying pms

while the men left, leaving Callan's box at
the shop, aud when Nick went for his
pocket book ii was gone. Strawbridge
Clothier's manager came down last night,
and when the box was opened, only waste
