FORTUNES FONDLY RECALLED ' Pittsburg paper, Tbe Gazette Times, ' prints a truly remarkable letter from a correspondent who signs herself "Old- f Fashioned Mother." Beginning with tbe h large assertion that "the modern way of t raising children without whipping is en- u tirely wrong," this unchanged survival j e from a sterner past tells in what will be p amort appalling detail for those not of n her own generation and lineage the ex- . i: periencef of her youth. She writes: i: Mqther had a strap which she used ! p freely on me as well as on my brothers V and sisters. It was a common occurrence [n - for mother to lay me across a chair and •oundlv flog me with her strap. When in her judgment a harder whipping was ^ t necessary she would turn roe over to . t father in the evening and he would take ' i: me into a room apart from the ot%-rs , S and' afto^ having divested myself of all ■ b my clothing he would flog me with great ( i; severity with a cowhide until 1 was iblack and blue, oftentimes till 1 was : I covered with bloody welts all over my 1 1 body. He whipped us with a cowhide until we were 14 years o)d, and after j that he would use a cat o' nine tails. I i got whipped until 1 was 18 yctrs old. And that was not all, she says, jtt c school both boys and girls were beaten t severely with a rattan if they did not 1 know their lessons and flogged with a i rawhide for disobedience or inattention, i and every suoh punishment, instead of < eliciting sympathy at home, was repeated tSere for having been earned. And the Pittsburg woman feelingly adds: i "1 thank both my father and my mother 1 for every stripe they ever gave me!" ! Evidently it baa never occurred to her, i in all the years since she was subjected j to these beatings, that they cduld have " been neither reformative nor deterrent, , but purely punitive, else would so near- < ly continuous resort to them neffcave . been necessary to enforcement of tbe , rule of fear.- , ~ NOTICE. j' David W.

j ^ NOW AND THEr**. [ * c A Democratic member of Congress 0 from Pennsylvania is corresponding with f his party colleagues and he finds that c the "little navy" men of last session are ■] as much opposed to preparedness as f j ever.

And yet we suppose s 1 will pose before the country t I next year as the man who did it- , c New Yorkers are somewhat agitated f to discover that the office of corpora - tion counsel, which is the big legal job ( in that city, seems to be a perquisite of , | Southerners. The last three imcumbents t have hailed, respectively, from Mississ- j 1 ippi, Tennessee and Mississippi. There ( is nothing surprising in this. When f j Democrats have the appointing power j j the South comes to its own. j Newspapers everywhere hail the Pres- , ident's declaration in favor of being ( "very adequately prepared" as "wel- , come." In other words, the editor* of ( the country thought he would not do it. ( Whether their comment is to be regarded a knock or a boost may be open to debate. We regard it as anything but j complimentary. j Xa 1814, 2,473,356 Red Cross Christmas Sesls were used in the State of New Jersey, an average of about one for every individual.

J The regular meeting of th- Board of a Chosen Freeholder* held at the court house on Tueday last was attended by a large delegation of representative and i. influential taxpayers and citizens from all parts of the county who came to y

regis tor their objections to the eon e traction ef the projected Oman Boulevard by which it was proposed to ink together the sareral coast resorts of 1 the county, (M Ocean City to Cape ( May, by the "construction of bridges ■ over the several intervening inlets and the building- of several miles of additional roadway at an estimated cost of ' about one million dollars. The delegation presented to the £ petitions bearing the signatures of 800 or more taxpayers residing within the county, including Wildwood, « Wildwood Crest, Cape May, Cape May c and the townships of Lower, c Dennis and Upper, strongly protesting against the expenditure of the taxpayers' money for ouch purpose t at this time. J. Thompson Baker, Philip P. Baker, Frank P. Downs and William H. Bright- j of Wildwood, and Luther C. Ogden, of Cape May, were the spokesmen for the delegation, who declared that the basis 1 of tfleir objections was not the project r itself, but the enormous cost J-hpreoi-and the additional burde^ i jjpwould place upon the taxpayers of Uymbinty, • as well as the damaging effect in- } in taxation necessary to carry out such a project would have upon the growth and prosperity of the • county, particularly the coast resorts, t The gentlemen were of the opinion that the present is a most inopportune time for the promotion of such an expensive \ proposition; that the present taxable j valuations do not warrant it; that it | could not be successfully financed; that the carrying charges alone-would necessitate a much higher rate of taxation t the county -could legally impose, ( while the expense of maintenance which ^ cannot be estimated, would add still to the annual cost. It was the expressed opinion of the g delegation that at some future time such a proposition might receive the ^ epport of the taxpayers of the county, but not until the taxable valuations had greatly increased and the county was ( financially prepared to assume the additions1 burden that such a gigantic proposition would entail, and which can not be assumed by the county without, at least, increasing the burden of taxation beyond the present rate, which is ' already so high as to seriously affect • the future growth and prosperity of the 1 roast resorts. — Gazette.
