Receivers Appointed.

Stockholders, attorneys forsstockholders
and members of the bar of Atlantic City
and Cumberland Counties crowded the
Chancery Court chamber in Camden yes
terday in anticipation of receiver being
appointed for the defunct State Mutual
Building aud Loan Association.
After hearing counsel for stockholders,
Vice Chancellor Leaning appointed Law
yers George J Bergen, Thomas E. French
and Samuel K. Robbins as receivers, fix
ing their bond at 800,
The application was made by Lawyer
Joseph Summerill, who said that if the
allegations concerning the Association
were true it would require men of nerve
for receivership, men who would not be
bound by ties of friendship or politics.
He suggested Mr.. French.
Lawyer E. G. @. Bleakly read the re.
port of the trustees, and declared that the
disclosures are startling. Important facts
have been brought out and the evidence
seems to show, he said, that the system
has been loose. He suggested s. K. Rob

=. HeId on 70 Ais Knifa.

On the afternoon of June /, 1872,
an old painter named William McCul-
Tough while painting the bridge above
the falls between the first and second
Sister islands fell into the rapids. In
stantly he was swept furiously toward
the cataract, but whirled into lesser
| waves so that he struck against and
seized a rock not far above the brink.
Hundreds quickly gathered on the
shore and watched, all eager to help,
| but ignorant what to do. Among them
was Thomas Conroy, who secured a
coil of rope, fastened one end to a
tree on shore and with the other end
in his hand waded out as far as he
could and occasionally swan, the wa
ter being from eighteen inches to six
feet deep. He aimed far up stream to
allow for the power of the current and
at last with great difficulty reached the
unfortunate painter and bound him to
himself with the rope They were
swept off their feet several times on
the way back to shore, but the rope
had been firmly fastened, and they
| finally landed safely. When they
reached shore it was found that Nc
Cullough still clutched his putty knife
firmly In his hand, having held it dur
| ing the three hours he had been on the
brink of the falls.

Dublin BootbIacks, 1880.

Among the populace of Dublin in
1850 the shoeblacks were q numerous
and formidable body. The polish they
used was lampblack and eggs, for
which they purchased all that were rot
ten In the markets. Their implements
consisted of three legged stool, bas-
ket containing a blunt knife called a
spud, a painters brush and an old
wig. A gentleman usually went out in
the morning with dirty boots or shoes,
sure to find shoeblack sitting on his
stool at the corner of the street. The
gentleman put his foot in the lap of the
shoeblacK without ceremony, and the
artist scraped it with his spud, wiped
it with his wig and then laid on his
composition as thick as black paint
with his painters brush. The stuff
dried with rich polish, requiring no
friction and little inferior to the elab-
grated modern fluids, save only the in
tolerable odors exhaled from eggs in a
high state of putridity, which filed
any house which was entered before
the composition was quite dry and
sometimes even tainted the air of fash
ionable drawing rooms. Polishing shoes,
we should mention. was at this time
refinement almost confined to cities,
people in the country using grease.

WITHIN the next month the advocates
of local option will meet in Mount Holly
and discuss the questions which they
consider of great Importance to them in
the coming campaign. One of the points
they are laying great stress upon is the
record Of the members of the Legislature
from this county on the local option bill
which met with defeat Messrs. Lewis
and Trick will be candidates for renomina
ton and the local option people are al
ready assailing them on what they did OF
did not do at the last session. In this
the temperance people are making q
serious mistake. The local option
bill that was defeated is admitted by
many of those deeply interested in the
subject to have been very defective anc
not exactly what was desired. Loca
option was not an issue in the last cam
paign and there was no demand, except
upon the part of few, for action on
the subject. Whatever any member Of
the legislature may have done on the
question does not enter into the contest
that is about to take place, but the poini
to be covered now is what will the candi
date who now seeks recognition pledge
himself to. 1t looks at present as if locs
option may be an issue in the next cleo
ton. If the old members, notwithstand
ing their position at the last session, arr
willing to give assurance of their desire t.
listen to the voice of the people this year
they certainly should be given some con
sideration.

INFECTION AND CONTRACTION.
HoUsEHoLDEKs CAUTIONED.
Disinfect freely this Spring.

Infectious and contagious diseases are
prevalent. The use of a reliable disin-
fectant protects the household. The last
thing at night pour into the traps of the
closets, wash basins, sinks, ETC., just a
little Platt's Chlorides. Dusty or damp
corners and cracks-nooks behind plumb
ing and all spots that can't be reached by
the scrubbing brush, should be freely
sprinkled with mixture of one % part
Platt's Chlorides and ten (10) parts of
water. This dilution costs less than
cents quart. Do not neglect liberal
sprinkling of the cellar. To remove OBJ
iectionable odors where sprinkling is in
advisable, keep cloth or sponge mois-
tened with the dilution mentioned. A
little extra care just now may prevent
much sickness and expense. Platt's
Chlorides is an odorless, colorless liquid
which instantly destroys foul odors and
disease breeding matter. 1t is sold by

swordsmen of the Sea.


The swordsmen of the sea are the
sawfsher. spearfishes, sailfishes, sword
fishes and the narwhal, with its spiral
ly twisted straight tusks. The saw
fishes inhabit the warmer seas, while
the narwhal is a creature of the arctic.
The tusk of the narwhal is hollow
nearly to the point and is spirally
grooved. 1t uses it's tusk as weapon
of defense and to plunge through the
ice to breathe, the narwhal being a
cetacean Sometimes when a boat has
been caught in the ice great damage
has been inflicted by the inquisitive-
ness or laundering of this great crea-
ture, that sometimes reaches length
of fifteen feet, with a tusk of from six
to ten feet in length. AS rule, how
ever, the narwhal uses its tusk for the
purpose of killing fish for food In the
castle of Rosenberg the kings Of Den
mark have long possessed a magnifi-
cent throne made of tusks of this
cetacean. These tusks are harder and
whittier than ivory.

Bayard Taylor related the following
about a parrot once. owned by lady
in Chicago:
When the great fire was raging an
owner saw that she could rescue moth
ing except what she instantly took in
her hands. There were two objects
equally dear the parrot and the old
family Bible, and she could take but
one. After a moment of hesitation she
seized the Bible and was Fastening
away when the parrot cried out in
loud and solemn voice, Good Lord,
deliver usr' No human being could
have been deaf to such an appeal. The
precious Bible was sacrificed and the
bird saved. He was otherwise clever
bird. In the house to which the parrot
was taken there was, among othe"
visitors, a gentleman rather noted for
volubility When the parrot first heard
him it listened in silence for some
time; then, to the amazement of all
present it said very emphatically
'sYou talk too much!'
The gentleman, at first embarrassed,
presently resumed his interrupted dis
course. Thereupon the parrot laid his
head upon one side gave an indescrib-
ably comicaI and contemptuous H'mw
and added. ''There he goes againP

Ocean County Affairs.

After eluding service of papers for
more than year, Mrs Mary Alice Al
mont Livingston Fleming Frey has been
dispossessed of her handsome home on
Toms River, opposite Island Heights. Mrs.
Frey, who was known as Mrs. Fleming,
has been much in the lime light in the
past twenty years.
She was tried and acquitted of poison
ing her mother, Mrs. Henry H. Bliss, in
New York city, about ten years ago. The
state alleged that Mrs Fleming sent clam
chowder, in which arsenic had been
placed, to her mother, who lived in fash
ionable New York hotel. By the death
of Mrs. Bliss, Mrs. Fleming became heir
to 800, 600 from the Livingston estate of
New York.
Before that. however, Mrs. Fleming
was chiefly known as the plaintiff in a
breach of promise suit, in which she was
awarded verdict of $4,000 for the fail
ure Of Walter Fleming, a New York brok
er, to keep his promise to marry her.
Mrs. Fleming was then a girl, but the
&75. 900 remains the high water mark as a
verdict in breach of promise suit.
After her acquittal of murder, Mrs.
Fleming returned to Toms River and re-
purchased the property which had be-
longed to her step-father, Henry c. Bliss,
aud before that TO her grandfather, Thos.
Placide, whom old theatre goers will re-
member as famous comedian. The Liv-
ingston thousands did not apparently re-
main long in Mrs. Frey's possession, for
the ancestral estate was mortgaged to a
local building association, which has been
compelled to foreclose. BY eluding SER
vice of the papers in the case, Mrs. Frey
kept the control of the property until last
week, when a writ of the Court of Chan
cary placed the sheriff in charge.
The property is handsome one of sew
erai acres and large river frontage. 1t
was here that old Tom Placide, Mrs.
Frey's grandfather, ended his life with a
bullet through his brain thirty years ago,
and the place has ever since been a mark

THE death from rabies of a prominent
Brooklyn gentleman the other day was so
peculiarly pathetic in all its circumstances.
and mas aroused such widespread interest,
that renewed attention has been called to
this terrible disease. 1t may be as well,
apprehensions which lie at the root of
much unreasonable terror which the
malady inspires. In the first place, the
disease is not peculiar to the summer
season, nor does it depend upon any
physical condition in the body of the
patient, sanitation or climate. 1t is com
municated only by direct incubation, and
the period of incubation in human beings
is anywhere from two weeks to an entire
year. Furthermore, end this is point of
especial significance, rabies can be i'm
parted by its victim only from about three
or four days before it develops its violent
symptoms.
If one is bitten by a suspected dog,
therefore, it is the worst policy in the
world to do away with the animal. 1t
should be confined for few days for OBJ
servation. If at the end of week, no
symptoms of hydrophobia occur, 1t is
absolutely certain that the person bitten
is safe. If rabies develops in the dog his
victim still has ample time to undergo
the treatment which has proven so effect
i've in recent years as to be regarded as a
sovereign cure.
In the mean while, our municipal au-
thorities cannot insist too rigidly upon
those wholesome regulations which pre-
vent the spread of this terrible disease
among the dogs. Chief among these is
that which requires that when abroad the
dog should be muzzled. Hydrophobia.
once very prevalent in Germany, has been
practically extirpated by muzzling the
dogs. From all that we know of the dis
ease, it may be so banished in this coun-
try. AS for that multitude of forlorn
CANNES which have no home and none
who cares sufficiently for them to provide
muzzles, their own interest, as well as the
public safety. demands that treatment
which the Humane Society is ready to
apply. death from rabies is happily
rare among us-so rare that it creates
widespread comment There is every
reason to believe that by the exercise of
such precautionary measures as the study
of the disease suggests, such death
would become ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Nesos.

Salt hay cutters and shippers are blam-
ing Prof. John B. Smith, the State
Entomologist, for the low price of salt
hay last fall, winter and spring. Usually
they can get rid of their crop at about
eight dollars ton, but this year it has
been running in the neighborhood of six
dollars or less ton, in carload lots. and
there is plenty of last years yield still left
on hand The growers say that Ocean
county used to have the swing in the salt
hay shipping trade, and there was a big
demand for all they could cut. But since
'.Prof. Bug Smith, as he is called, started
in to have the meadows of the State
drained to get rid of mosquitoes, he
naturally has called attention of owners OF
meadow land around Newark bay and
other North Jersey bays to the value OF
the salt hay crop. This has resulted in
putting on the market of large quantities
much nearer the cities and at less freight
than the Ocean county shippers have to
pay; and the market has thus been glutted
to the disadvantage of people in thi
