Wrecked During the Gale.

During the severe gale which blew along the Atlantic coast early last Wednesday morning the two-masted schooner, Lurena Reed, Captain Gideon Risley, stranded on the inner bar off this city. The crew, consisting of Captain Risley, Norris Ingersoll and Clarence King, took to the rigging about 2.20 a. m. and remained there until 6 o'clock, when they were rescued by the Ocean City life saving crew. The illfated craft was coal laden, bound from Jersey City to English Creek. Captain Risley undertook to send the craft for Cape May, but the high winds drove it on shore, where it lies well up on the beach. The owners are Captain Gideon Risley, Isaac Risley and Nathaniel Risley. There was no insurance on cargo or vessel. The craft is about eleven years old and hails from Somers' Point. Efforts will be made to save the cargo and float the vessel. | | Thrown from His Bicycle. Durrell Hoffman, the principal of Swaintown public school, a member of the Board of Freeholders, was severely cut about the head and face Thursday evening last by being thrown from his bicycle under the wheels of a passing wagon. Mr. Hoffman is in the habit of riding from Bennett's station to his home near Fishing Creek. When near there, at the time of the accident, he was run into by a man on horseback, throwing him in the road, from which position he could not escape being run over, so close was the wagon upon him. He was returning home from the Teachers' Institute at Ocean City. | | Death of Jessie Robinson. After a lingering illness, Jessie Robinson, daughter of V. S. and Frances Robinson, of this place, passed quietly away early Monday morning, aged 17 years and 10 months. Deceased contracted a cold some time ago, which rapidly developed into consumption. Although an intense sufferer, she bore her affliction with great fortitude. The funeral service will take place at Salem M. E. Church, Smith's Landing, to-day, where the body will be laid to rest.

Howell, and wife had been invited by Mrs. Hanetta Corson, the

mover in the party, which proved to be in every way a success. Mr. Winner, our Township Clerk, was presented with a box of strawberries picked from the second crop of Japhet Garwood's strawberry patch. At noon the large table was growning [sic] beneath its load of good things, when all presents were invited to take seats and partake of dinner so neatly and plenteously arranged. Rev. Howell was seated at the head of the table, with Rev. J. I. Corson at his right. Dr. Corson was also present, as was also Rev. Mr. Austerbury and wife, of the M. P. Church. When the blessing was invoked those present partook of the viands. At three o'clock prayer was offered by Rev. Corson and all joined in singing "Walk in the Light." Those who were there said they had a good time.

A gloom has been cast over this community by the drowning of Captain Clayton Leeds, a former resident of this place, but lately of Atlantic City. During the severe storm last Wednesday the captain and his steward were washed from the decks of the schooner Laura V. Rose, bound from Kennebec to Philadelphia, laden with ice, and owing to the high seas rescue was impossible. The schooner was in a sinking condi-

tion and was abandoned by the remainder of the crew of seven men, who

were picked up and taken to Boston. The Laura V. Rose was a three-masted schooner, 134 feet long, 15 feet deep with a capacity of 466 tons and was built in Bridgeton, N. J., in 1875. For several years she has been sailed by Captain Leeds from Philadelphia to Marble Head with coal, and then to the

Kennebec River for ice, which was

taken to Philadelphia. She has been up to this time especially fortunate and

a source of considerable revenue to her owners. Her value was estimated at $10,000 and her loss is partially covered by insurance. Captain Leeds was 55 years old, temperate and had many friends and a wide acquaintance along the coast. The owners of the schooner say that he was a most capable man and would have secured a ship immediately if he had been saved. At his home in Atlantic City he leaves a wife and married daughter. Mrs. P. B. Risley entertained a number of relatives and friends Thursday. SMITH'S LANDING. A very pretty home wedding was solemnized at high noon on Wednesday last by Rev. C. K. Flemming, in the presence of the nearest relatives of the bride and groom. The contracting parties were Daniel L. Collins, of Atlantic City, and Miss Lizzie Ryon. The melodious strains of the wedding march fell on the air as the bridal party moved down the stairway and took their places under a beautiful decorated arch; a hush fell upon the guests as the officiating clergyman proceeded with the beautiful and solemn ceremony, which made the happy couple husband and wife. The ceremony and the responses were clear and distinct, and the congratulations of friends which followed were many and cordial, after which all proceeded to the spacious dining room where an elaborate feast of the choicest delicacies of the season was waiting. The presents were many, useful and handsome, comprising articles of silver, linen, china, and pieces of beautiful furniture. Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Collins, Mr. and Mrs. W. Ryon, Mr. and Mrs. W. Dunham, Mr. and Mrs. E. Ryon, Miss Edna and Master Warren Ryon, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Ryon, Mr. and Mrs. J. Ashmead, Nurr Collins, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Collins, Miss Agnes Collins, Mr. and Mrs. P. Ryon, Mrs. Ann Babcock, Mrs. C. K. Fleming, Mrs. J. F. Ryon and son, Arthur Ryon, J. Andrews, Mrs. Sarah Steelman, Mrs. Humphries and Mrs. R. L. Risley. Mr. Collins and his fair bride left amid a shower of rice for the afternoon train for an extended wedding tour to the Delaware Water Gap and other places of interest. Mr. and Mrs. Collins have the best wishes of a host of

friends.

The exercises at the Salem M. E. Church on Sunday last, in honor of the Old Folk's Day, were of a very interesting character. The hymns and tunes selected were of the oldest style, while the unusual choir gave place to a few of the most aged members of that communion who led the singing. The pastor, Rev. C. K. Flemming, preached an appropriate sermon from the text, "Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the concerts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age." The congregation, which was large, was much interested in the fitting remarks of Rev. John I. Corson, who with many others, was present. The church edifice, which is pretty as it is, was tastefully and richly decorated. A handsome bow arched the platform, beautifully clad in verdant vines whose leaves were marked and shone with lovely autumn tints, surmounted with gilded letters, which red, "Thou crownest the year with thy goodness." Large, rich, and elegant fruitage, in well-nigh all forms, made into magnificent pyramids graced the chancel, which was trimmed in hanging vines of beautiful colors. A generous contribution was made to the fund of our conference claimants. At the close of the general service a Love Feast session as held, which was attended with remarkable and unusual showers of grace. In the evening a large and enthusiastic League service was held, conducted by the president, Mrs. C. K. Flemming. The singing, led by the choir, the readings, and the recitations, all were finely rendered and much enjoyed by the crowded audience.
