The question of building sidewalks was
discussed. The Council decided that if

fill in their walks to within three inches
of the top of the curb that the borough

build driveways into their properties with
drain pipes under 80 the water could flow
along the curb. Where dirt is thrown up
and there is no drain it should be scraped
away SO water could flow along the curb.
On motion the Road Supervisor was di.

there were drain pipe under them.

Catching a Sea Monster.

What | am going to relate is the truth
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth. While our third man was taxing
OF net the other day, he came to a place
where there were three or four corks
down, and the net felt very heavy. He
began to pull in very cautiously, making
the remark that there must be three or
four fish here, but what did come ND so
startled him that he almost fell over.
board with fright. 1t was the most ugly.
repulsive looking fish that was ever ere
ated. After some struggling and fighting
the three of us managed, by using a large
sturgeon hook to drag it aboard. where
we had to tie it down to keep it from tear
ing things up. Its shape was triangular
being very broad at the head, about eigh-
teen inches broad and graduating to the
tail to a width OF i've inches. Its length
was four feet and six inches from tip of
wing or fappers, as they could be called.
Its color is dirty and its flesh is soft and
f1abby. On each side was attached a
large wing or Happier, about the size and
shape OF a large palm leaf fan and under
meath Its body were two short stumps or
legs about three inches long on which it
rests or stands. The pupils of its eyes
WCtC d Ut1kub kACCA DIV q very
yellow iris, which alone gave it a bad
appearance. On the top Of his head was
a very thin horn seven inches long, about
the size of a needle, which lies on its
back unless the fish is angry when it
raises perpendicular.
But the worst is to come, that ia his
mouth. The lower jaw extended two i'm
ches farther out than the upper one and
| there were three double rows of teeth in
| each jaw. The first row numbered So in

other rows were somewhat smaller. but
contained the same number. It showed
that it had a capacity for about two gal

bucket in between them on which Il

APPEAL CASES.
When Court convened on Monday
morning the Appeal cases were taken up
and the first Ii on the list was that Of
The State OF New Jersey VS.. Joseph Net
ter. j.. Forman Sinnickson Esq, ap-
peared for the complainant and j. W.
Acton, Esq. for the defendant.
The suit was brought against Meter
under the twenty-fourth section of the
Fish and Game Laws of 1908 for allowing
a dog to run at large. Only two Witness
es were called in this case and then the
Court granted a non-suit On the ground
that the complainant had not shown that
the field in which the dog was seen was
inhabited by rabbits; that they had not
proven that the dog caught the rabbit in
the field and there was no proof that the
dog was running at large. From the
mere fact that the dog was seen with a
rabbit in.its mouth, the Judge held did not
imply that the animal was allowed to run
at large. He said that a great many far
mers nowadays have collie dogs trained
to bring COWS from the field and he did
not believe that the law intended that
the n OF these dogs should be held
responsible if the dogs should catch rab-
bitslwhile going to and from the
fields.
At noon Judge Sinnickson granted nat
uralization papers to the following: VIM.
Owen, Joseph'Mozender, Jacob Bread
man, Solomon locker, Jacob Traub.

OF Woodstown for subscription to stock wa

ployed more than fifteen in Woodstown.

$4,000 and the works were moved to
