Crows WAY Of openina CLAIMS.

The crows that live along the sea
shore live on sea food. At times they
show a CULTS dexterity In picking eat
ables from the tossing water with their
bills. Their ingenuity, however, Is
taxed by the hard shells OF clans,
which they can neither pry into nor
break with their bills. Like some gulls.
the bright crow will seize clam and
fly TO a great height and drop it on
ledge OF rock. That breaks the shell.
and the crow gets the meat. Near
Vancouver, B. c., the crow rides
around on the backs of hogs that are
roofing In the flow ground of the tide.
The hogs crush the shells of clans and
mussels In their jaws and then drop
them on the ground in order to sepa-
rate the meat from the shell. The
crow jumps III and gets the meat for
itself. On the other hand. the remark
able story comes from Africa that
crows there carry stones TO consider
able height above nest of ostrich
eggs and let them fall on the tough
shells, and then feed on the exposed
albumen.

The. Schools OF Gloucester County

We quote from the 1906 report OF the
State Board OF Education, just received, 4
paragraph from the annual report Of County
School Superintent VIM. Fl. Eldridge:
'sThe attendance Of pupils has been
greater and more prompt than ever before.
There were enrolled in our registers 8, 500
boys and 3, 495 girls, and the average num-
ber of cases of tardiness per day for each
teacher is SO as against II for last year
For promptness of attendance Greenwich
township leads with an average of only i
Of child per teacher. Monroe township is
ahead on attendance. 1t reports 91.4 per
cent of daily average attendance on aver
age enrolment. The city of Woodbury.
next, 90.7 per cent Yet, withal, we have
some children who are seldom in school for
which I am inclined to think our Boards Of
Education are responsible, the teachers a
little as we'll as the county superintendent.
Franklin township continues tc transports
pupils from old Porchtown to Franklinl
vile. The patrons Of our schools are show
ing their appreciation Of our efforts by vot-
ing us an increased district tax. The vote
last March gave us $4,000 more money
than our Boards of Education ever used in
any one year. Our people are thinking
more and more about centralizing schools
and transporting pupils. The time will
come-soon | hope-when we will have
better schools through the idea centralizas
sion. The parents are looking toward d
higher grade Of work for their older chill

Wreck at Sea Isle Junction.

That number of people were not killed
or mained seemed miracle on Saturday
when the Cape May and Ocean City express
ses came together at Sea Is'e Junction.
Engineer Thomas E. Crane was the only
one injured, as he made flying leap from
his cab when he saw collision was un-
ayoidable.
The north bound Cape May express was
running Light and "a minutes late and
was scheduled to make the junction with
the 80 Ocean City express from Camden at
Sea Isle Junction, but appears to have run
past its regular stop while the down train
was pulling around to the Sea Isle branch
curve after leaving the main tracks. The
train came together with a crash, and the
crashing OF wood and escape of steam caused
a panic among the passengers Fortunately
she baggage car and Pullman coach which
were derailed and badly smashed contained
but one or two passengers. The engine oi
the south bound tram was badly damaged.
The tracks were torn up for many feet, de-
laying trains for sometime.
The accident is attributed TO the heavy
storms, which obseured the signals.

Be Careful Of Your Mail

The postal laws prohibits placing written
messages in merchandise packages or letters
on which less than two cents an ounce has
been paid, and the provisions Of this statute
admit of no waiver of the peualty provided.
During the last fiscal year post Office in
spectors collected s59,065 for such viola
tions. In thousands Of cases short note or
memorandum was placed inside package
Of merchandise on which postage was paid
at one cent an ounce, while the written
matter made it necessary that two cents an
ounce should have been paid.
Finding that in great number Of cases
the offence was due TO ignorance OF the law,
and that the collection of the fine usually
works hardship to the very poor, especially
where written messages are made in return
ing coupons, tags and certificates for prem
iums, Postmaster General Meyer has direc-
ted that proper notices be placed in post Off
ces warning the public against the practice.

As farmer Clem. Budd's market team
was coming from market at o'clock this
morning, burr came off one front wheel
as it was crossing the railroad at Westville,
letting the wagon down on the tracks.
The end of the axle caught in the rails,
and the team could not moye the wagon.
A freight was coming, and the flagman,
seeing their danger, seized his lantern and
ran toward it. The train was stopped Just
as the engine reached the wagon, and before
She horses be unhitched. The team was
driven bv two colored men. Early this
morning the burr was found on the Buck
bridge.

Good Intent.

Apropos TO our statement last week Of
the visit Of Chas. II. Strong, lawyer Of
New York, to Good Intent for the purpose
of seeing the home Of his stepfather, Rob-
ert Gledhill,p and his effort to learn some-
thing OF the history Of the place, we have
letter from Sam'l Fl. Kirby Of this city,
whose father became keeper Of the Camden
County Almshouse in 1924, when he was
four years old. Mr.. Kirby writes:-
"Good Intent mill was built about 1923
by Garret Newkirk very good and high
minded man, who operated the same with
the assistance Of John Z. Cooper. who was
also superintendent Of saw, lumber, and
grist mills
The wcoIen mill was burned about 1886
and rebuils by Garret Newkirk, and Jonas
Livermore was made superintendent until
the death of Garret Newkirk, after which
stock company was formed, Woodward
Warrick and Jonas Livermore being OF the
company The firm manufactured cloth
goods Of fine quality and the building was
basement, and three floors all covered
with machinery. Late in the ffties the
building was again burned and one story
building erected in its place manufacturing
horse blan kets. after which company open
ed an oil cloth industry
Mr.. Kirby fails to recall the Gledhill's
either Robert or Joseph, though he has been
in close touch with the place all his life.
Mr.Kirby says the first 500, 600 residence
built in Philadelphia was erected at 18th
and Arch streets, by Matthew Newkirk, q
cloth merchant, and brother Of Garret New
kirk, the Good Intent cloth manufacturer.
In acknowledging the receipt of acopy of
the lass issue Of this paper, Mr.. Strong
writes:--
II found no one at Blackwood who re-
membered joseph Gledhill, bnt | saw the
mill and am hoping that someone over there
will send me little kodak picture of it.

Not always possible to filter water sue
cessfully, and passed up newspaper clip
ping saying the Lancaster, Pa, water
tasted like dish-rags.
He had visited the trial we'll in Wood
bury and was prepared to say that it COM
pared with Camden water, which is stan
dard water Of the United States.
There is room on the Matlock, fats for
Nabout IS wells 200 feet apart
In Camden last year there were only
cases of typhoid in go, 900 people.
Manufacturers located in Camden so they
could get good, soft water
When you put alum or any other coag L
lent in water it is not pure water, and the
quantity of that is always regulated by the
kind Of water you have to filter.
Woodstown water is the same as GIouces-
ter very hard.
II artesian water must be filtered, If is
cheaper to do it than to filter water from a
stream
HIS business was not putting IN wells,
but finding and getting good water supply
You can have 55 or so lbs fire pressure
from a stand pipe without dollars expense
except to pump into the stand pipe, and
you will never have any typhoid germs 70
Indications Of a supply here are good. !.
The use of artesian water was diseon
tinued in the Morris Station boilers because
they did not have enough water.
As to the condition Of our water mains,
ex-Councilman Davis asserted that those
recently taken out on Penn street, that
were laid when the works were built, were
yet nearly perfect.
MR.. HUNGERFoRD IN REBUTTAL.
No engineer knows how long water
main will last. Is may last 100 or 300
years. know pipe in Connections so
years old that is not corroded. The pipe
here ought to be good for so years.
As TO the Lancaster filter plant, it con-
sists mainly Of sponges, and you can under
stand the cause of the trouble with the
water.
The strainers in the artesian water are
ruined by the acid in the water. It will
cost more for strainers than to maintain a
filter plant.
As to Mr.. Pfeiffer's statements that there
never was case Of typhoid from artesian
water in New Jersey, be asked Mr. P. if he
ever heard Of Plainfeld and the typhoid
there.
He asserted there were ten times as many
towns using liberation as against artesian
water, and in no successful liberation plant
could one typhoid bacillus be found.
After thanking Messrs. Hungerford and
Pfeiffer for their presence and information
they had given, and voting the police va
cation Council at 10 30 adjourned

that crime is increasing in this
state at such o rapid pace. Every
paper we look at has an account
Of some CHASTITY crime, showing
eonclusively that the price of life
is becoming woefully cheap.
We fear the law is not rigidly
enforced. 1t is indeed o sight to
see a fellowman pay the penalty
of capital punishment. However
it is still worse to see, as is often
times the case, an innocent man
shot down in cold blood by some
hot headed beast, and when the
trial comes to hand, with tears in
his eyes the guilty party pleads
self defence. Of course he is &C
quilted, thereupon allowing q
blood thirsty criminal to go scott
free thus endangering the society
of our state. 1t is indeed a ques-
ton worthy of our confederation,
and often times o jury is swayed
by lawyers who play upon their
sympathies, with silver tongued
oratory. G Journal.
