The West Jersey Presbytery met at Had
donfeld on Wednesday, and odopted the
following resolutions on the death Of Mr..

Res0lred, That this Preshytery has learn
ed with profound sorrow of the sudden and
tragic death, on Thursday, April Is, of the
Rev. George W. Tomson, pastor Of the
Woodbury. church, and for many years past
a beloved and honored member OF this body,
having served acceptably and efficiently two
Of its strong churches.
Second, that we put on record our tes
timony OF his excellent standing as Chris
tian and pastor during these many years Of
service, and our deepest regret that bis life
should have come TO such a melancholy and
mysterious ending
ssThird, that we tender our Christian
sympathy to the Woodbury. Church and con-
gregation so sadly afflicted by their beloved
PASTORS death, and to his relatives and
friends who mourn with us his sudden and
unsimely removal from this world, life and
work. =

A Practical Invention.

On April ID, our townsman, former
postmaster Charles Walton, was granted a
patent on railway rail fastner, that ap-
pears TO us 90 solYe the problem OF making
the use Of iron railroad ties practical. Iron
or composition railroad ties haYe heretofore
been failure because OF the failure Of ap-
pliances heretofore employed to holding the
rail securely to the tie. Mr.. Walton's APP
pliance seems TO solve this problem,
because the AaDge Of the tie wonld hold the
appliance, and the strain Of the rail would
fallon driven spike, Just as it falls on the
spike in tne wooden tie The drawing of q
spike from Mr.. Walton's appliance is q
more serious problem for the traokman
than from new wooden tie, and, too, as
vibration requires, after time, she re-
driving of spikes in the wooden tie, SO IN
this appliance, as vibration wears and ulti-
mately lof H., she spike may be tightened
BY further driving, and the rail held as
firmly as when first laid

most potent reason why honest and
