are filling up and everywhere a general air of prosperity prevails. It is said that the annuel gathering of statesmen on Brigantine Beach, across the Inlet, will be held earlier than usual this year.

ous schools has reached Washington and the information has been hailed with delight. The handsome steel

will now learn of his death with genuine sorrow. Mr. Mulliner was a Free Mason,

being a member of the Cape Island Lodge. He was buried with the honors of the order on Monday at May's Landing.
