like rainstorm did not act as deterrent
to prevent their taking part in the out

Joining hamlet, recently sent by express
crate of huckleberries to a New York
city policeman, who at one time, accord
ing to his own confession, acted as col
lector in the tenderloin district for the
infamous designator of that territory.
When asked if the offering was bribe
or debt, our generous resident laughed,
which was reassuring, as he did not
smile recently when scraped with moral
oyster shells for his business activities
when he lived on West Twenty-seventh
street, Manhattan.
The oldest game in the history of local
base ball was pulled off here last Satur-
day, when the Chatsworth and Jones'
mill teams clashed The Jonesies ranged
like steps of ladder, and from minors
to adolescents, whilst the Chatsworths
comprised team of huskies that would
strike terror into the heart of any board
ing house keeper. and who clouted the
cover off the ball at each welt. How
ever the teams were fairly matched, as it
was brains against brawn-the mis-
chievously subtle versus the herculean
history, nevertheless, was reversed, as
the Goliaths won.
One of our notables recently visited
Hammonton for purposes of having
several ancient mariners removed, and
on explaining to the dentist his timor-
BUSINESS against pain, the forceps artist
stated he would give him gas, which,
like jolt from Johnson, would put him
to sleep during the extraction festivities,
whereupon our neighbor remarked, "Will
it surely cause me to slumber?' Ger
tainly it WILL" replied the hammer
thrower." Our friend then pulled his
boot off and turned over and counted
the roll which had been concealed there,
and with look of inexpressible salts
faction restored the circulating medium
to its bank, and signaled the dentist,

Why is it that the world violates the
clearest principles of practical ethics,
and suffers sympathy with clever scamp

us some amusement, inasmuch as the
held-up Johnsonites denied having any

We have recently enjoyed a visit from |
the Leonard McNally of the Burlington
county bar, and patiently listened to the
usual buncombe concerning his influence
in the sheriff's Office, and what he can
do with presentments prior to a hearing
before the grand jury. 1t is matter of
that he is allowed to get

boastings mere blatherskite, it tends to
lower the respect due to correct applica-
ton of legal forms, and befuddles the
timid and the illiterate, whose sole con-
ception of jurisprudence is to hire a
venal lawyer, forgetting that his charac-
teristics are an open book in the court he
pleads in and his influence is in inverse
ratio to his rantings.
