ALFRED COOPER, Eoitoh. and Appoil» have decided by a unanimous vote that any p^rapa who aglU liquor qn Sunday or to Minora iii guUey df keeping a disorderly houiw\ V) ,, ., . ( ., t ; — $ » » After having totally ruined the busin©*# of Ike Permanent Exhibition Com* * ' jMoy/the P^'Ck^mjMioh liavn consented to allow the Maiii Building to Mknd for three years longer. But it is now too late to gave the Exhibition frojn ruin and the sooner the whole thjoffls wound up the better it will be for all parties concerned. It is wonderfdl how willingly some people cease . opposition to any scheme after that scheme is dead and that by thtor action. That tko fools are not ail dead yet is demonstrated by the fact, that at a recent vendue in Iiidiunnr at which the personal effect* of one John Brown, a murdered farmer, woro offered for sale, tlie prices walked were extraordinarily high ? in fact some of the articles brought more than five times their actual value. Tho fi tat bid on nn iron kettle was $5 ; four chisels and a hatchet # — - — — — - -

in a carpenter's box brought $10; and othfer things in proportion. All the personal effects, worth about $200, sold for nearly $1,200. At the conclusion of the solo the crowd ovor-ran the premise*, tearing the shingles off the houses, and cutting off pieces of the. fence and barn as relics. This morbid desire to posses* nvtioloM of .my description belonging to parson* who huve met with a violent death is only another specie* of insanity that is afflicting the human family. « » < Judge Cowling of the court of general sessions in New York city took a sensible view of the case of a fellow . named McMahon, who pleadod guilty of stabbing Mutthfew Steward and asked for mercy on the ground that he was drunk when the hrimo was committed. The judge said thut McMuhon's inebriety was aggravation rather than an excuse, and sentenced the culprit to hard labor in state prison for two years. It is high t.im« tfi'it- * r * in' rogard to their responsibility for offend* committed while ^ under tliQ of them seem to think they are perfectly exousable Tor any wrong-doing perpetrated .when they urc drunk. The ]*%«• p^r.nito no leniency 'in such eases, and Judge Cowling is ontitlcd to praise for making that fact known in a public manner and giving proper cmpliasis to ! it. • +-+—_ The contest in the State Senate Inst ! winter over the appointment of ©xGovernor Joel Parker as the successor •* r of Judge Wbodhtil! to a seat upon the Supreme Court Bench, has resulted in, tho expression of some very sharp and cntting reflections upon thoso of either side. The strong opposition made by the Republican party did not find it* origin in any spirit of personal hostility toward the ex-Governor and we beliovo it in conceded by all that he is one of the most gonial nnd popular men in the

State.. That hd is popular with the masses is proven by the fact that he has twice been elected, Chief Magistrate hy large majorities. lie had boen talked of a* a candidate fur President- on the. Democratic ticket hut Gov. McClellnn shelved him out of the way when he s©nt his name to the Senate for tlio judgeship. The appointment w«* in direct violation of the unwritten law «>f * tho state, by which the Supreme court has boon maintained unpnrtisan for twenty-five years. The appointment of P.irkor makes tho bench stand poliffrally six Democrats to three Republicans, and this was the ground upon xvihich the Republican Senator* rebelled and refused to. vote for the confirmation. ! Rut the time came when their»rcfu8ftl to ( confirm ce/wed to bo resolution and J became stubbornness nnd then senator* ! Sewell, Gardener, Deacon, and Crammer ' gave in and New Jersey's War Governor was clothed in ermine. Wo have nothing to any against capita! punishment. At the present stage in I tho world's history it aeonis to be right j nnd necessary, though it is or course : vary terrible. But theno f* neither j necessity for nor propriety in tho bar- • I '/irons exhibition* which make up fully ' one-half of the executions of the present I day. A bungling sheriff, an ill-construct* | ed gallows, a rotten rope, or something else -jjoh vert* the execution into a murder, iccond only in horror to that which brought the criminal to the ' scaffold. If the rope is desirable as a means of putting Into execution the capital sentence, let us have a Calcrnft who shall understand Hy long practice and careful study just how to use it with the

1 t • \ P 1 f| j • . instantaneous and paiiil*** death. And surely, with the wonderffi],advanoeincnt iu wnontific discovery and achievement of this day, there "Khust be known a dozen methods for accomplishing this purpose without the tortures and blunders which accompany the use of tho rope. Let it be the guillotine, or the ax, oven, rather than the gallon-*. Tho shooting of a deserter is Infinitely more humane than the hanging of jijmurderor. Electricity could be made to put a man out of the world with promptness gnd without pain. Civilisation demands some change, and at once, in the mode of executing the death penalty. And our UvfrUiaker* may very wisely devote a part of their valuable time to the confederation of this important subject. » a » We huve occasion to caution formers about signing their name* to doubtful papers, and there are those who are mode the Victims of sharpers as surely as the season comes around. Just about when the busy farm operations begin, there annually appears in every town throughout the country nome person who bring* a great improvement in the shape of some indispensable tool or ; machine for the furtner, without which he cAmiot possibly get through the season except at a positive loss to his bu#me#s."4 Those sharper* usually obtain

the names of a number of responsible farmer*, and out of the list they are sure to find one or more with whom they can accomplish their object. Tlie usuaI method is to approuch a farmer, first represent a new and indispensable improvement, use his nam© and liis neighbors1 familiarly, and at last make Uittt »n ftgont to tKsll til© goodfi in the town. After signing what he Kupposes to be only un order for so many machine* to be shipped to his address, the smoothtongued swindler departs chuckling over his success, und in a few day* the farmer agent is surprised at receiving a notice from a bank or Home other authority that hi* note for two hundred dollars more or less is due. -Now this is just what is practiced upon farmers in some form every yeaV, nnd tbey will continue to be victimized so long ns they will sign papers in the hands of strangers without knowing what they are signing. There are a few resolutions which some farmer* should ~dr£w up~ have rramea; anQ TnnTg wnove they can see them every day. They 1. A furmer should attend to his own business, and make thut a success if possible. Z. He is out of hi* line of business when he attempts to sell other folk*1 ware*. j 3. Never *ign your name to any pnper : ! unless you first read it carefuily and j | know all about it. ! 4. When you want u tool or machine , go to your hardware dealer, home ' manufacturer or home agent, whose j reputation is known for honest squuiv • dealing in tho interest of some good j responsible firm or company, and J purchase what you need, and you will j not be disappointed, 5. Never buy patent right*, for you have not time or money to 'waste on silch trash. With such resolutions , to, theso swindling concerns would soon

. be obliged to wind up. and many would i soon find themselves less embarrassed, and with a greater enjoyment in following a strictly honest ami legitimate line of business. In farming, the field ofhibdr and J thought is ho broad that the entire ener- ! gies of the farmer can be given to it.and J they should bo to secure tlie best I results. » » JEWELS . j A wise man chan*»-— % ' never will.

Jdr- Editor i — - In the first issue of your paper you stated that tlie "young gentlemen <of our town ward contemplating the organisation of a society to protect themselves from the ladies leap year attacks." I thought at the time that there wo* no need of sucli op organisation, but later developments have proven that I was mistaken in my oeourity. On Monday night last . a ; number of our . young ladies called for their jMU tners and, when they had about as many gonUemen as they thought they could MAJfaox, all repaired to the residence of our popular deputy clerk, Morgan Hand and -surprised him by their marching in and taking pOHScsripfi. The ladies were authority; all suggestions being referred to them before wo daio act upon them. When refreahmenU were anounoed we thought we surely would be allowed to escort the ladie* to tlie table but alas, no ! a bright little damsel tapped your correspondent gently on the shoulder and asked "Will you allow rne 1" Not being used to this kind of work, I am not surathot I framed my reply as nicely as would one of tl*e fair ones have done. Once at the table, they told us what, we might eat and whut we

might not oat. The only time tlioy seemed to regret their action was when tbey had arrived ut the residences of their gentlemen and looked so wistfully down tho road as if to *ny "Oh dear, I Jiave to go the rest of the way alotae." We know now with what ladie* wc are special favorites and we hope to bo conduct ourselven that at the negt .leap year party in 1884 we shall have the same charming escorts.

Tho catch was heavy and easily made. It is l»elieved that the Executive Committee of the New Jersey Editorial.

During the early part of the week ; quite heavy fires were seen for several j days raging, in the forest* beyond the j head of Tuekahoe river. It is said they I originated along the line of, the new j I railroad, from locomotive cinders.
