ALLENTOWN, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 29 1871.
On a cold, wet evening In the month of De
cember, not many years ago, the streets of
London were still thronged with passers-by,
hurrying to and fro through the pouring rain.
The gaslights in shop windows and street
lamps shone brightly In the flooded pavement,
giving a brilliancy to the crowded thorough
fares In spite of the dreary weather.
At the corner of Charing-cross, near the post
office, stood one of the more respectable look- .
ing omnibuses that ply between London and
the distant suburbs.
The driver and conductor were encased in
oil skin wrappers—the horses as sleek as satin
with the rain running off them—the vehicle
and its attendants were made up for the jour
ney, which promised to be unusually uncom
fortable. "Time up ?" asked the driver
gruffly of a man standing beneath the portico
of the post oflice. " Another two minutes"
replied the time keeper looking at his watch.
During the short colloquy two passengers
took their places in the omnibus—one a well
dressed mao, who growled audibly to himself
about the weather ; the other a widow in deep
mourning. As the latter raised a thick crape
veil she displayed a set of features that at
tracted the attention of her fellow traveller,
and stopped his growling.
At the foot of Westminster Bridge two
shabbily attired women hailed the conductor,
and the omnibus was drawn up to the pave
ment to receive them. They made much con
fusion In getting in, and complained of there
being no lamp inside, talking loudly. The
journey continued, and then talking gradual
-1 ceased. '
111
"The rain must surely inconvenience you,"
said the first passenger, resuming his attack
upon the widow, "will you change places
with me ?" lie leaned forward and endeav
ored to persuade her to do as he suggested.
The offer was politely declined. " I prefer
this position, thank you," replied the little
black figure. Some ten minutes passed wear
ily away, when one of the two last corners
showed signs of uneasiness. She rose, and
sought something on the floor and upon the
seat. She touched the black figure roughly.
"You arc annoying that lady," said the
man. " What have you lost ?"
The woman continued her search. She
emptied her pockets, bringing forth a miscel
laneous collection of coppers,keys, old gloves,
and other things; her anxiety increased every
moment.
" I have been robbed," the at last exclaim

The conductor descended front his foot

"I know this lady well," said the man.
" She is one of my regular customers ; yciu
must be mistaken."

A. violent altercation took place. The wo
man declared she had her watch in her pos.
session a few minutes since, and could not
now find it. "
"You are very wrong," she said meekly
speaking through her veil.
" No, I am not," replied the accuser fierce
ly, "and you know well enough I'm not."
" May be you dropped it in getting in," sug
gested the conductor.
"No such thing, it was too well fastened,
I felt her touch me as I passed. I'm positive
about it, and quite as positive she or her com
panion shall give It up."
The widow uncovered her face, now paler
than ever, and hardly able to speak, declared
her innocence of such a charge.
" Look for it again, ma'am," said the con
ductor persuasively, " may be you left it at

" Give it up," elle exclaimed, almost breath
less with rage, "give it up, and let you

" Call a policeman," she then cried. " Stop

The first passenger expostulated with the
infuriate woman ; offered his card and address,
and to be responsible for the loss.
" Your card and address, of course they're
false. Call a policeman, conductor."
Resistance was useless. The omnibus was
stopped, and a policeman came up.
" I give this person into custody for stealing
my watch."
The constable asked a few questions, and
then said it would be necessary for all present
to go with him to the milice-station.
" Will you have a cab and go quietly ?" he
said, turning his lantern on the. widow, who
was paralyzed with fright.
" We pass your quarters," said the conduc
tor. "I know this lady, and am sure ids a

The policeman looked incredulOus, and mut
ered something about suspicious characters.
" Do your duty, sir, and make no remarks,"
exclaimed the passenger who had been accused
as an accomplice in the robbery. The police.
man entered the omnibus, seating Limed!
next the widow, wjuo became hysterical and
speechless.
Fortunately uo other passengers were met
with on the road. In due time the police
station was reached, when all alighted, the
constable leading the way to the room where
the officer who received the night charges was
on duty.
. The circumstances of her loss were related
with tuuch volubility by the shabbily attired
woman, to whom the officer listened with at
tention, taking notes of what was said.
" You must be searched," lie said to the
widow, and directed her to be taken up stairs
for that purpose.
The passengers protested loudly against
this indignity.
"My name is Williamson. lam staying at
Morley's Hotel, and will give you any refer
ence you please. Let me be responsible for
title lady, or let me pay you the value of the
watch," he said earnestly, addressing the last
request to the woman, who made no reply.
"The matter 15 now In our bands," said
thd officer, "and must be proceeded with in
the regular way." He then repeated his
orders for the search to be made.
The widow was led, or rather carried, Into
a room on the first floor, and there submitted
to the tender mercies of two of the female po-
JIC3. •
Her bonnet and veil were torn rudely from
her head, the long brown hair ruthlessly dis
heveled, mid her dress was taken. As the
black gown fell upon the ground something
in the pocket struck heavily against the floor.
" Alm I there it is," exclaimed one of the
searchers with a malicious grin, " I thought
we shouldn' have far to go."
The packet was opened, and to the disap
pointment of the female police a large door
key,•but no watch was found therein.
"You can dress yourself," said the women,
one of whom more charitable than the other,
osisted the widow Wil(0, In a sad condition,
and still speechless, presently descended the
staircase and reappeared in the police station.
"Nothing found on her ?" Inquired the
officer. "Nothing," was the answer.
The officer proceeded to enter the details of
the case upon the police BUM
" What name does the prisoner give ?'' •
No reply.
" Hand them here." Time name on time
cards was taken down.
Mr. Williamson again repeated his request
to he accepted as ball for the accused.
" You're not a householder, and it's too
late now," replied tie officer, who then or
dered the widow to Ifs removed to the prl
soner's cell, a dimly lighted room, furnished
only with a few benches against the walls,
and containing some twenty occupants of both
sexes, and all classes. She was thrust in
among the wretched group, and the door
locked upon her.
"Sorry to see you hero my dear," said a
gaily dressed woman coming up to her, Basile
stood bewildered in the middle of the cell.
'Egad though, I'm not," continued a drunk
en' fellow, attempting to embrace her.
" Leave her alone," exclaimed the we'man,
thrusting the man away, and knocking him
down without much effort.
The rest now gathered round the widow,
and her newly-found defender ; they offered
no interference, but gazed with sheepish won
derment at what was going on.
" You're a nice one to protect the innocent
Poll, you are," said one of the prisoners,
jeeringly, to*the women who held the widow
in her arms.
"I shall protect who I please," was tlie re
ply, accompanied with an oath, " site's out of
place among us, and will soon be released."
" No, no, let her .stop here," stammered
the drunkard, lying where ho had fallen, "let
us all stop here, it's very comfortable I'm'
QOM
The woman tried to soothe the widow, and
succeeding In preventing the others from mo
lesting her. It would indeed have been use
less for any of them to dispute the authority
of such a protector, whose powerful arm kept
them all at bay.
An hour—two hours elapsed in this terrible
position—the prisoners, those to whom the
locality and circumstances were familiar, had,
settled themselves for the night ; some
stretched upon the floor, others upon the ben
ches. One or two novices continued to pace
the cell occasionally disturbing the sleepers,
who protested loudly and coarsely against the
Intrusion.
The widow regained her speech and ,con
sciousness, and was still clinging to her pro
tector, when the door opened, and her name
was called.
Being let out she was received at the en
trance by an old friend who had been desired
to come to her assistance by an unknown
visitor.
Without waiting to inquire into what had
happened, hp offered to become security' for
her.
"You are a householder ?" said the con
stable, interrogatively.
" I am not, but I live In a house belonging
to my fatuity, and am a medical num well
known in this neighborhood."
" Useless, sir, quite useless. If you, are a
professional man, you perhaps know our
regulations lu these cases, and how stria they
are."
The doctor endeavored to overrule the ob
jections, but unsuccessfully—the police in
sisted upon the accused returning to the cell,
awl worn about rtouovlnt: her, when Mr.
Williamson arrived, accompanied by several
other friends, to find whom he had been dri
ving about town. Two responsible house
holders satisfied the requirements of the police,
bail was accepted, and the widow taken to her
home, overcome with excitement and distress
of mind.
"I told them it was a mistake," said the
conductor, as he opened the door of the omni
bus, but that old vixen wouldn't have It."
Having escorted the widow to her home,
Mr. Williamson and those with him left her
to the care of the doctor and a servant.
It was five o'clock in the morning before
the omnibus was dismisSed, having been em
ployed all night by Mr. Williamson in his
endeavor to gather the widow's friends to
gether.
According to the directions given by the
police all concerned in the strange occurrence
assembled at the police court, ut eleven o'clock
the following day.
The night charges being disposed of, a
short delay occurred before the more import
ant cases were called on. The buzz of conver
sation in the crowded court was suddenly
interrupted by a constable making his way
towards the widow and her friends, and con
ducting them with much ceremony 'to the
magistrate's room. •
What could have happened Was the
densely packed audience to be disappointed by.
the case being heard in private? Curiosity
was still more cruelly excited when the mag
istrate, returning to his seat on the bench,
desired the clerk to proceed with case number
two on the list, and passed over that of the
widow and the watch without a remark.
In the meantime, a strange scene had been
going on behind the legal curtain.
Upon entering the room, the widow was
met by her accuser who, in the most abject
manner, implored forgiveness for what had
happened—she had come to confess her error
—the watch had been found.
" And where was it found ?" asked Mr.
Williamson of the woman who was on her
knees.
" Not half-an-hour ago,in my table drawer,"
gosped the virago, who was now as humble
as Bitched been violent.
"And you had not the prudence to look
there for it last night ?" said the rector.
"I was so sure she had it."
" You still persist in taking this lady for a
thief I" exclaimed Mr. Williamson in di,gnant-
ly.
The widow requested the penitent to rise,
and declared she readily forgave her.
" But the matter cannot be allowed to rest
thus," said Mr. Williamson ; "a public
apology is necessary, and some atonement
must be made for all the misery that has been
caused."
Hereupon the magistrate, who had been a
silent spectator of what had passed, suggested
that legal advice should he taken on the sub
ject, and an apology drawn up in due form ;
he then left the room, to resume his official
duties in the crowded court house.
Mr. Williamson obtained permission to
continuo an acquaintance so strangely com
menced. lle was a man of prepossessing
manners and appearance, fond of children,
and delighting especial', in those belonging
to the widow.
Some mouths after the t nunibus incident—
he had in the meantime availed himself of the
permission, and had made himself a great
favorite with the children—his visits to the
house became more fre'quent.
"Do you remember," ho 'said on one of
these occasions, to the 'widow, "how per
severingly I tried to make you talk when we
first met 4"
The widow blushed, and declared she had
forgotten the circumstance.
"You may forget it; but I never can ; the
impression you made upon me nothing will
ever cfrace"—and Mr. Williamson continued
a most eloquent speech, ono which probably
ho had long studied, and often waited for an
opportunity to deliver. The opportunity
presented itself, and not long afterward, tho
widow was hie wife.
MR. BAKER'S RING.
Mr. Baker himself told ns this story. He
said it was true ; nor is this unlikely. I have
known 31E — William Henry Baker personally
for n number of years, nod am inclined to
think he tins, hitherto never in all his life told
the pull'. Now, it is so manifestly improba
ble that the most consistentman should pro
tract a long and useful career of story-telling
to such extraordinary Ittnit ,, , without at some
period telling the truth by sheer misadventure,
that it is quite likely Mr. Baker may have
committed himself in this instance. At least,
the time has arrived for htironti nature to as
sert itself, nccording to the doctrine of aver-
EMI
"Only once, gentlemen," said Mr. B. "have
I been deceived. William Henry keeps his
eyes open, In a general way ; William Henry
also takes the liberty of seeing, out of them.
He uses them, as a rule, for purposes of obser
vation, gentlemen. Still, I admit, I was,
once, taken In by as dead a swindle as could
be ;1 am not ashamed to own it. I made
money by it, after all ; but I was swindled.
"It was about a diamond ring. I knew the
fellow wh%had it for many years in the way
of business. He was a commercial traveler,
and used always to flash this ring about when
ever he came round on his journeys. A jew
eler friend of mine, who happened to be in my
office once when Mr. Blook called, asked, I
remember, to be allowed to examine it; and
had pronounced the atones to be diamonds of
the purest water, telling me afterwards the
ring was worth about seventy pounds. Mr.
Blook's initials were engraved Inside the
hoop of the ring ; It B.', and besides that,
it was a ring of peculiar and rather old-fash
ioned make. Indeed, having once seen the
ring, no one would be likely to mistake it for
another. Well, Mr. Blook got into difficul
ties, and went so entirely to the bad, that I
never saw or heard anything more of him.
But about two years afterwards, whilst walk
ing down a back street, my eye was taken by
a ring exhibited in a pawnbroker's window.
Mr. Blook's ring,' lexclninsed directly ;
swear to It.' It was in a tray with a number
of very seedy-looking rings, and was dis
colored and dirty as they were. I went into
the shop* and asked to look at It. The pawn
broker, an old Jew, said, Yeah ; I might see
his ringsh ; but he didn't know mesh about
ringsh himself. They wosh unredeemed
pledges—thash what they wosh—and they
wosh all marked at the monist' advanshed
upon them, with.a very small overplush for
interesh,—thash all he knew.'
'• There was no mistake about It. It was
Mr. Blook's ring, and had his initials inside.
But how did the Jew get it ? He would soon
tell me. Referring to his book, he found it
had been pawned two years ago in the name
of Smith,—' Thash all ho knew. Would I
buy ? It wosh dirt sheep—three poundsh
twelve, and cosht him all the monish I"
"'Three pounds twelve I repeated, think
ing he has made a mistake, for the ring was
worth twenty times that amount."
" Well, if it wosh too dear, he had some
sheaptr ones,—beautiful ringsh, he dare shay,
—but he knew so little about ringsh, you see,
exsheot that he alwaysh advenshed too much
monish on them. One could'nt undershtand
everything in his U 191111104 you shoe, from
flat.ironsh to diamonsit.'"
" I bought, the ring, after beating the Jew
clown half a crown, partly to prevent his sus•
peeling its value, and partly—well knowing
the disposition of
. the peculiar people —to
oblige him.
" I wore toy now purchase about, with ro
little inward satisfaction at having bettered a
Jew at a bargain. In my own mind, I ac
counted for its coming Into his possession
somewhat in this way: Mr. Blook must have
sold the ring when in difficulties to some ono
else. 'lt was quite certain Mr. Block had not
pawned it at the Jew's or the Jew would
have known its value. The ring must, then,
have either been lost by, or stolen from, a sub
sequent possessor; and the finder or thief
(whichever it happened to be), being ignorant
of its value, had taken it to the Jew, who
knew no better.
"There is a certain commercial club In our
town, which I occasionally visit. The mem
bers are of an easy and somewhat lively dis
position ; generally given to indulge In that
playful style of banter popularly known as
chaff.' My diamond ring came in for a good
share of it. I can stand chaff as well as most
men ; but I put it to you, if, when you know
very wellyour brilliants are real, it Is n't a
little annoying for the chaff of a whole body
of people to assume the character of persistent
disbelief In the value of your jewelry ? For
instance, the waiter answers the bell.
" ' Did any gentleman ring?'
'" 0 yes,' one of the members would re
tort Vit was the gentleman with the paste
diamonds.'
" Again, there are 'kinds of sham brilliants
known as Irish Diamonds and Isle of Wight
Diamonds. The club (not one or two mem
bers, but the whole body) refused to recognize
such distinctions, and insisted on designating
the whole class of shams as ' Baker's Dia
monds.' ' Baker's Paste,' my gems wore also
denorriitatecl. They actually sent me by poet
a circular of somebody's BalAng Powder,
adding to it at the end, where it says the pub
lic is respectfully cautioned against spurious
imitations, 'but more particularly against a
specious preparation to deceive the unwary,
known as Baker's " Paste." ' Now, atter
two or three weeks, this became tiresome.
Still, I. took no notice, and effected not to
think the remarks intended for me. .
" I hardly know what made me go call on
my friend, the jeweler. It was not that I had
any doubt of the genuineness of the diamonds,
especially as ho was . the very man who had
before valued Mr. Blook's ring at seventy
pounds. But it had been so dinned into my
head that they were false, that I wanted just
u formal confirmation of the estimate ho had
previously formed of their worth.
" 0 yes,' said my friend the jeweler ; 'I
I recognize the ring directly.—Want to know
what it is worth ?' (He put it in the scales.)
Well—h'in—about seven-and -twenty shillings
for old gold.'
"'Eh ?' said I, as pale as a turnip. 'Why,
didn't you tell me it was worth seventy
"pounds 1'
" • Yes,' lie answered ; 'when it had dia.
Monde in it—not when it has paste.'
" Talking the matter over, the jeweler.sug
gested, that on Mr. Blook getting Into diffi
culties, the first thing he did was to sell the
diamonds out °fills ring, and get their places
supplied with paste, whilst, finary, he had
pawned it himself with the Jew, as a paste
ring.
" ' Well, William Henry,' said I to myself,
'the Jew has jewed you, and the club has
chaffed you, and you may cpnsider yourself
trod upon, after the manner of speaking.'
" But the worm will turn.
" Did the jeweller let out diamonds on
hire ?' I asked.
" Would he have a certain alteration,
which I suggest, made In my ring in a fort
night's time ?'
"Ho would.
" ' And keep it a secret ?'
" Certainly,—business was business.
" For the whole of that fortnight I never
went near the club ; that was probably the
reason why my appearance at theclub-dinner
was greeted with such live sallies about
Baker's Paste. Ono wobld-be wag recom
mended me, whilst helping a tart, ' to keep
my fingers out of the pastry.' Bellevinghlm
to intend some obscure allusion to the gems
on my little finger, I thought it time to Open
fire.
" ' Gentlemen,' said I, 'for some weeks I
have listened to casual observations in which
the name of Baker has been unworthily asso
ciated with paste and pastry, but have re
frained from making any remark , . having
been firmly persuaded they could only apply
to industrious tradesmen employed in the
manufacture of home-baked bread.' (Oh,
oh I) 'lt now occurs to me that such remarks
were Intended in allusion to the ring I wear,

ing you,—whiCh unlike the wits who have
amused themselves at its expense, Is indebted

" They hooted me ; they heaped opprobri
ous epithets on the nano of Baker; they
laughed' and talked me down.
." I'll bet him flve pounds it's paste,'
said one.
" 'Bo will I, said another- ' And I." And
" So said eleven of them
" ' Really, gentlemen,' said I, I am sorry
you take the matter so much in earnest. All
I can tell you Is, I believe my ring to be a
diamond ring, and this, notwithstanding I
will freely admit I only paid a very small sum
for It.'
" They laughed and hooted rue still more
at this admission. They said that settled the
question, and that it was paste.
' I told them I didn't think it wns
Well; would I bet ?'
I would rather not.
" More booting.
"At length, very reluctantly, I overcame
my scruples. The name of Baker Is a name
too closely allied to the gentle bred (prms

" We adjourned to the jeweler's.
" Without question, they were diamonds,'
the jeweler decided, ' and some of the finest
ho had over seen.' He ought to know, as
they were his property—hired by me for the
occasion.
" Eleven lives I.+ fifty-five, gentlemen.'
Having established the value of toy ring
and freed the name of Baker from suspicion, I
paid for the hire of the real gems and had the
paste stones re-set in their places, believing
after all, the reputation for diamonds to be as
good as the possession of them, and free from
the anxiety.

"BABY MYSTERIES."
"Max Adeler," in his late "Quill Scratch
es," thus comments in his peculiar vein, on a
recent poem, " Baby Mysteries :"
A paper up in Lancaster publishes a poem
entitled " Baby Mysteries," which we reprint
hero with the firm conviction that it will be a
revelation to many even of our most learned
readers. It is especially valuattle from 'the
fact that It proves the truth of the theory that
Science is slowly but steadily groping its way
through the darkness up to the light of unob
scured Truth. Here Is the first verse :
Where did you come from, baby dear?
Out of the everywhere Into hero.
The last line is what the baby said in an
swer to the question. Considering the re
spondent's entire freedom from prejudice,
the reply must be accepted as valuable and
reliable testimony. But listen to the second
verse :
Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the sky as I came through.
The spectacle of that child, that mere atom,
bursting down through the azure canopy of
heaven into etherial space, and snatching out
handsful of blue :tuff, which it crammed into
its eyes as it came along, is appalling and
somewhat strange I But that is the way it is
done, or Truth has no resting-place in the
bosom of that Lancastrian •poet. Prosecut
ing the inquiry in regard to eyes, the follow
ing is developed :
What makes the light In them sparkle and apin?
Some of the starry splices left In.
This was an original, perhaps even an idio
syncratic baby, for we never heard of a baby
before In whose eyes the light spun. Any
mere ordinary, commonplace baby, when It
got spikes in Its eyes, would rise up and howl
and make its disgusted pa swear and waltz
around In his bare feet on the carpet with It
In his arms) Again this poetical asker of co
nundrums inquires :
Where did you got tU•at little tear?
I found it waiting when got here.

WO feel like adding another lino or two to
this, such as : " What makes you sniffle and
wriggle your toes ? Then why doesn't some

fane to mingle a jest with these scientific
matters and so we pass to the succeeding
stanza :

some time two or three wagons In company ;
powder and shot and an ample supply of pro
visions to last until their return were laid in,
and occasionally a keg of whiskey was added,
under the plea that the shore water was not
healthy. Crossing at Bristol, the Pines were
struck a few miles from Holly, and from there
to the shore, about 40 miles, but few houses
or cultivated grounds were to be seen. The
ground is intensely sandy or gravelly, and
decidedly sterile.
THE GROUSE PLAINS,
although a curiosity to a Pennsylvanian, are
so poor that nothing but ground- oak about
two feet high will grow on them. The few
inhabitants live by making charcoal and cut
ting pine wood, and occasiohally gunning.
The first noted stopping place in the Pines is,
or was, at the sign of " Ong's Hat," or "Min
gens"—whence the namo no one knows.
The next stepping place, and about the next
house, is the " Butler Place," about ten miles
distant. There are a few acres of decidedly
sandy land cleared about this place, out of
which the owner manages to get
The landlord was moderate in his charges,
and limited in his knowledge of the outer
wQrld, never baying soon a rock, employing
his time and supporting his family by
making cranberry beds and cutting wood for
the railroad. Ile was of the Democratic per
suasion, although moderate in his opinions.
The next stage was across the Grouse Plains,
ten miles, over a perfectly. straight road to
Cedar Bridge, noted for a stream of excellent
water issuing out of a cedar swamp. At this
place there are two taverns, both doing some
business. There is also a large farm of clear
ed land, which appears to be productive in a
degree. Cedar Bridge has long been noted
among the shore goers at the end of the
FIRST DAY'S JOURNEY.
Barnegat and Manahawken, or " Hawken"
as it is called,are about the same distance from
Cedar Bridge. Arriving at either of these
villages, the teams aro put up,at these toyeres
and the party with their guns add stores a,re
transported In sail boats to the .beach, seven
miles distant. " Harvey's Cedars," for many
years kept by " Sammy Perine,".was the no.
ted and favored stopping place on the beach.
Keeping a good house and a table well sup
plied with fowl, oysters, fish and eals,Sammy
became a noted man in the country, and en
joyed the good will of all hia customers ; but
now, having become old, ho has retired to
Barnegat to spend the evening of his days In
quietude. The modus operandi of
CAPTURING THE FOWL,
i. c., geese, brandt and ducks, such as black
ducks, red heads, butter tails, spring tails,
dippers, old wives, canvas backs, etc., is to
Lire a gunner at $2.50 a day and pay his
board , $1 per day more, and find him In
powder and shot. For this he finds boats and
decoys, which are Imitation geese and ducks
made of wood and painted to exactly resem
ble the bird, and to Pat In the water. Thus
provided the parties leave the house before
daylight and fix themselves on some point on
one of the numerous islands in the bay,where,
after putting out their stools and secreting
themselves in the sea grass, they await the
coming of the fowl. These gunners make It
a business to shoot for those employing them,
and, being good shots, a goose or duck has
but little chance for its life if it cornea within
EIGHTY YARDS OP THEM
The luck in shooting fowl is vary uncer
tain, the condition of the wind and weather
having great influence on the "flight of the
fowl. Sometimes seventy or eighty head are
killed by two mon in a day, hut much oftener
the number is less than half as many. The
old gunners say that the quantity of geese has
decreased, swan are sold= seen, but that
ducks, notwithstanding the great number
killed, have Increased. Over six hundred
ducks were killed and brought to Harvey's
Cedars in one week last fall. A. tame wild
goose was kept about Tom's River for several
years, and had a copper label with the name
of its owner on it. The goose went off with
a flock, and was
more than twenty years afterward, and was
identified by the copper label. The deer seem
to have luereased on the main land along the
shore, rie several were killed in the Pines near
Cedar Bridge last fall. Barnegat Is the most
prominent starting point for those going to
the beach,. and, when the railroad is completed
from Tom's River, will be convenient of
access for those who prefer railroad to private
conveyance
On an inlet from the bay, near the town,
is a ship yard where some good coasting
schooners aro built. The streets are sandy,
decidedly so, and, from the want of footways
In parts of the village, walklngis at a discount
in the place. The credit of the Barnegatera
antlered,, severely some years ago from the
doings of certain persons In the vicinity, of
LURING VESSELS
on shore by false lights and then plundering
th e m. This has been broken up by the Nit
ishmen t of the prinks Implicated, but the in
habitants indignantly deny that they were
parties to these mlsdoinge, alleging that they
were sufferers by the miedeeds of others. Yet
It is current saying thereabouts, that the even
ing prayer sometimes taught the children is
"that the Lord may preserve father and
.mother, and send a wreck on shore before
morning."
