Mr.. and Mrs Glenwood @. Morrison have re-
tarued from their honeymoon and left last FRI
day evening for Brooklyn, N. Y, where they VIII
Immediately venture into the housekeeping busi-
ness Now that their honeymoon has waned may
their harvest moon shine like diamond "kno'
in the matrimonial fence.
Captain James Clark a former resident OF E'A
Neck. died Wednesday of last week at mis- home
II Camden, N. j., from paralysis aged 60 years
Interment took place Sunday in Camden. MI
Clark is survived by widow and three children
From 1000 hills of tomatoes J. q Nickle had a
crop of 16 ton.
This winter when the earth is covered with the
driven snow,
And swiftly across the hills and valleyst the winos
bowling blow;
And the flakes are sweeping onward towards
earth g frozen crust.
You will see a wonderous sight your eyes VIII
fairly bust,
Coming down the pike and across yonder hill at
terrible speed,
Set a ghostly half frozen snow man behind a
dashing steed.
And high in the air between the horses heels and
the heeting sleigh,
Flows a constant stream of trodden snow, that
upon the sitting figure, fay.
And freezing fast at the highest touch, though
driven with some force
From the hind feet of a twoten record racing
horse.
NOW, for the first person who sends to us this
ghostly figures name,
We will kindle our charity oven and set our
hearts afame;
And present to them as keep sake, light from
our government lamp,
A portrait of George Washington, cut from two
cent postage stamp.
Now who isit? If you care to know and take
the trouble to seek,
You will find. his name published in this column
OF the JOURNAL next week.

A family living near town complain of their
ducks gobbling up all the chestnuts that fall
from tree on the place. which are of a large
variety. These birds should be in demand fer
the Thanksgiving feast as the trouble of stufing
them with chestnuts would be obliterated. A
foul roasted with the feathers on and plucked
before serving issaid to be delicious but the roast
ing of the bird swathed in mud till the coating
falls off in cakes is the sweetest meat Of all.
