The managers and superintendent of the
Mount Holly Cemetery Association visited
that locality, on Wednesday, and conclud-
ed to purchase about five acres of land from
the Samuel E. Rogers estate in order to
further enlarge the burying ground.
They can secure the land for 5000 per acre,
and at this price it is possible that the es-
tate will throw in small lot fronting on
Ridgway street, as it has little or no
value. In this event it will per
init an extension of Mount Holly avenue
right into the cemetery.
James Alloways is the latest victim of
series of robberies committed by sneak
thieves at Merchantville, and mourns the

he was at dinner. Alloways neglected to
close the door as he entered for his noon
day meal, and it is presumed tramp fol-
lowed. After her husband left Mrs. Allo-
way heard the front door close and saw
shabbily dressed stranger disappearing
around the corner. An Investigation showed
the man had ransacked the drawers of the
second floor, and had carried away the
families savings.
Two men from Trenton-W William

cred they had a rabbit and squirrel in
their possession. This was against the
law and Warden Foulks was notified. He
entered detainer against the men, intend
ing to arrest them when released on the
disorderly charge. On Friday the friends
of Phillips came to town and paid his fine
on the latter charge and the Game War
den took him before Justice Slack, who
fined him $40 and costs for having game
out of season. This was paid. Moulds
will be looked after later.

In the carriage with her was small girl.
As she neared Smalley's Corner she no.
ticed man walking along the road. On
one arm he had bundle, the other arm
being thrown over the neck of COW that
was walking along with him. Mrs. Sapp
asked him where he was going, and for a
reply was told, with au oath, that it was
none of her business. She replied that
she thought it.was, and ordered him to
release the COW, which she recognized as
her property, and which had undoubtedly
been stolen from the pasture lot. All the
reply she got was a volley of oaths, and
then she thought it time to proceed to &C
ton. Handing the lines to the child, Mrs.
Sapp jumped from the carriage and with
her whip began lively tattoo on the man
who was unable to stand it and soon made
himself scarce, leaving Mrs. Sapp in pos
session of her COW which she drove home,
and then came on and enjoyed the parade.

standing upon the platform of the Beverly
