1 8 (Br Paor. Chiuh Tomlib.) J About 100 rods to the south of Diss i Creek school house is a lone broken I tombstone on which is inscribed, "In > memory of Daniel Nonon, Esq. , who I departed this life April 21, 1775, in the < 61st year of his age. " It is up out of the ground leaning against a tree. Six years ago one corner was broken off. Now it is in several pieces. It is said to be the last remnant of an otd family ^ burying ground located out in the field < under a large cedar. Some one cut down the cedar— removed the stone or stones and farmed over the spot Only , an old stump remains to mark the lo- j cation of the, former cemetery. ' , Who was Daniel Norton we know , not but the Esq., denotes that he was j , a man of prominence in his day. Is j there not a law for the preserving of | , neglected graves and graveyards, and j more, is there not a seven penalty for ' ' the punishment of—shall we say the wretches?— who destroy or desecrate j the graves of the noble pioneers and | founders of this country? Why Daniel may be the ancestor of j n Oapt Geo. Norton, whose company of j Infantry of the Cape May Independent j Regimented noble service in protect- . - i-iag the coast and other parts of j """ Southern New Jersey in the war of : 1812. Another Daniel Norton in this i county married iu 1817, Roxanna Townaend, and in 1822 Mellicent Savage. Wonder how this Daniel was related to the first named? In the same village lying under the 1 fence is a tombston- |marked "Thomas ' Douglas who departed this life October 26, 1805. Aged about 60 years. 1 Arise my God, lift up thy hand, 1 Tbe:r pride a nd power controul, 1 Awake to Judgment and command, 1 Deliverance to my soul." This with several other stones were 1 removed from a double family burial - ground on th<- farm of the late Hugh ' Hand from a fenced lot. The fence 1 ■was removed, the tombstones pu thunder 1 another D nee and the graveyard lot farmed over. The exact location of the plot lost w, Thanks to Dr. John H. Hand, who ' took the -tombstones that marked the ' graves of his ancestors to the Baptist < cemetery at Cape May Court House, 1 -the memory of John Hand and De- ( borah. his wife, with their 18 children and others, can in a measure be preserved, though several miles distant from where their dust reposesl This 1 Deborah Hand was the mother of De- > borah Garretson, of Goshen, whose i husband, William, once conducted 1 an extensive ship building industry < in that village, providing work for hundreds of people. Thomas Douglass, we think, is the" : great grandfather of Hon. H. S. I Douglass and came to this county when his sons,* William and Thomas, were well up in their teens. Both sons lived to a good old age and left descendants whom Cape May today is proud to have among her citixens. The father of the 1 above Thomas (whose tombstone lies ' in a joint of worm fence) was named Alexander. He lived near Trenton i and died £at the advanced age of 115 years. He served in the Revolution. There's your longevity— there's your Revolutionary hero blood, and the tablets erected to the memory of him and others see permitted to be destroyed and tfieir graves desecrated by this irreverent and sordid generation. Let the memory of our pioneer and ' hero dead be preserved and their last resting piacee be held sacred. COCAINE which dulls the nerves never yet cured Nasal Catarrh.

CAPE MAY NOTES. I (*Y ONE OF *HX STAFF) During the run of the ocean' liner from Philadelphia to Delaware Breakwater, the crew discovered in the hold two yorn^ stow- , sways. They were taken out ana pat • on the steam pilot boat which took off Pilot Backman, who brought the . steamship down the river. The two lads were landed at Cape May Point and took a train for Philadelphia, saying that their trip down the Delaware was about all in this line they cared for and were glad of .a chance to stretch their limbs. They will doubtwait untiljthey have earned enough a good passage As they are not 1 particular about squeezing themselves ' in tight places and going without proper jnurishment, which i> the fate i of most stowaways. 1 (• • •) Mr. and Mrs. ^William Clanssen have • been visiting friends in Philadelphia.
