Some time ago ] referred to The
trapping Of rabbits, the boys making
the plea that they were trapping for
skunks. Isaac Angle of Warren
county disposed Of six trapped rab-
bits and was called up by the game
warden. He was found guilty and
fined sI2O aud $40 costs. It was a
spite work case all through, and win
probably be appealed to a higher
court.
The social at J. b. Rosenkrans on
Friday evening was attended by a
large number, and every one had a
good time. The little boys thought
it was great.
Il. l.. says the boys got limburger
and beer at a recent serenade. /
didn't know there were any Dutch in
Milford.
Our legislative Solons are talking
of prohibiting the sale and use Of
cigarettes in this state, and 1 am sure
they will have the hearty support Of
every parent to that end. To see the
boys in their early teens gravely take
out the paper, then hunt around for
their tobacco, roll the paper with
great care, and draw it through the
lips, rubbing it carefully to seal the
paper, and then deliberately look
around to be sure every one present
is observing them, they light up and
are perfectly contented with them
selves. 1t is disgusting to say the
least
The trial Of George Jager has been
laid over until Feb. on account of q
Witness. The adjourned court will
convene an the 10Th.
Hunterdon county, N. j., has
abolished its board Of freeholders and
in their stead have commissioners.
who will perform the duties of the
freeholders. If we had such board
in Sussex county we would not be in
the muddle of good roads that we are
at the present time. saInstead of
pieces of Macadam scattered all over
the county we would have had one
continuous piece of good road stretch
ing from the Morris county good
road to some point on the Delaware,
either Dingmans Or Milford. The
experiment Of the 3 commissioners in
Hunterdon will be watched all over
the state, and if it proves a success
other counties will adopt it.
The vendue Of Frank johnson near
Bevans on the 9th inst was not con-
cluded and an adjourned sale will
take place on the 10th inst, when he
will dispose Of his horses, COWS and
other stock.
Mr.. Morgan Of Dingmsns who has
rented the farm of Mrs. Mettler has
moved upon the premises,
am glad to note that the opera
ton upon the wife Of Porter Layton
in New York hospital was very
successful and she will be able to
return home in a few days.
1 notice that sDingmans Ferry
says, "If New Jersey had a Macadam
road from Layton to Port Jervis,''
etc. Well, my dear friend, l and
others have been praying for that
kind of road for years, and am in
hopes we will get it one ofthese days.
But the way things, mean fnancial-
ly, are just now, our county is in bad
shape and / am afraid the Macadam
road business is in the same fix.
only wish we had your great banks
Of shale, would make ell the good
roads we need. Yes, I agree witt
you in that the road from Layton t.
the river is the toughest In thii
valley, and / hope some one viii
head a movement to change tina
piece Of road, for it would be 8
decided benefit to those living alonl
the river as well as our neighbor
over in Pike.
