A MARROW ESCApE.

Friday morning J. j. Braney came
near being minus a horse. AS the
man that drives his wagon was about
to cross over the tracks at the Henry
street crossing, his horse, which was
attached to light wagon which con-
tainedA several kegs of beer, was com
ing from the freight depot After
getting partly on the track it was
either unable to pull the load or balk-
ed The driver seemed unable to
move him and the express bound for
New York was bearing down upon
them rapidly when the section men
who were at work shoveling snow at
the crossing, ran to the drivers as
sistance and succeeded in showing the
horse around sufficiently that the To-
comotive barely passed without strik-
ing. The engineer had done all in his
power to stop the train, but was un-
able until the locomotive and several
cars had passed. Had not the men
been at work there in all probability
another accident at grade crossing
would have been added to the list OF
casualties in South Amboy.

MIl. JACKSON CELEBRATEs.

tfsAts DfA&AA y
On Thursday Rev Joseph Jackson
attained his eighty-sixth birthday.
Owing TO the illness of Mr. Jackson
he omitted the usual complimentary
celebration as has been the custom by
his family for many years, but on this
occasion 1t was confined to a family
gathering. Among the first with
whom we became acquainted upon
our coming TO reside in South Amboy
fifteen years ago was the Rev. Mr..
Jackson, and this we can say, that we
always found in him the true Chris
tian gentleman, and on number of
occasions have we heard him preach
and truly we can say that we always
came away benefited by some in
spired though that fell from his lips
or some terse and pointed admonition
that would have a tendency if follow
ed out to lead us to a higher plane in
the Christian life. The last time we
had the pleasure of talking with
Brother Jackson his conversation was
such as led us to believe that he was
awaiting summons of his Lord to call
him hence and be at rest with his
Saviour he loves so well.

Herman Dill was brought from

have been awakened that will lead

as old associations have been sever
ed by absence we hope the superin-
tendent's predictions may be verified.
