OCEAN VIEW. Probably there la a great number of persona In this "oanty who do not know that there is a Friends' Meeting bouae at BeavlUe in which meetings are atiH held yearly, generally on the third First day of each Second Month by delegation* of Friends who come all the way from Salem county to bold 'he service*. This yearly meeting ia held in order to retain title to tbe land on which the meeting house stands. The building was erected in ITlfi and Is still In goid state of preservation after nearly two centuries, and bid* fair to hut another century. Its intenor is guiltless of paint or any attempt at decorations. The seats are of two inch pine and maple. On the back of one of them an old urchin has carved bis initials and the date 1805, showing that the "spirit" moved bia jack knife as it doe* that of his prototype today. There is another relic also near thia vicinity which undoubtedly antedates the old meeting house; It is an old Indian canoe or dug oat lying near the base of two huge cedar trees which measure neatly six feet in diameter. Tbe canoe was dug up about fiflv years ago by a shingle hunter, and was then perfect condition. Now, only about e third retains the semblance of a canoe. It should have been preserved a* a relic of the aborigines who once roamed the locality. In 1U original state it was about ten or twelve feet in length and about two feet wide. An old cedar stump near measures over seven feet across. "There were giants in those daya.”
