(Special Correspondence to the Press.) . liAYTON, Oct. 6 The yield of eggs Is rapidly falling off. The moulting season is here, and extra oaro is needed to keep up egg production. Prices are gradually mov ing up on eggs, as It Is on wheat. Too many little points lu the welfare of the hen will need careful looking after now, and good nursing of the flock will have Its ample reward. News just oomos to us of the death nt Matamoras of Mrs. Hannah Clark, wife of Wm. Clark, Jr., formerly of this plaoe. Mrs. Clark is a daughter of James Martin, and a sister of Mrs. James Rose. Mrs. Martin was a daughter of Mr. Robert Stoll of Peter's Valley aud the deceased is there fore widely related hereabouts. The surprise party at the Haluesville parsonage on last Thursday eveulug not having the Ixmutltsruf opposition apparent ly "died a bomln." The parties surprised wore principaly those who received a gen tle hint that one of the "dollars of the dad dies" wore expected from each yartlcipant It will come easier perhaps whim those 68 cant dollars get around. Tlio Democratic candidates in Sussex are the cream of perfection according to their party organs. They say more nice things about them than usually falls to the lot of the average man In hi obituary notioe. There Is a great reformation In store for our wicked Legislature if the good "Uea oou" Slater should get there. Surely "the prayers of the righteous avalleta much." It is such a pleasing feature of the regu lar church services, to have good choir muslo, that it is a wonder that all our churches do not give the subject more at tention, as they do here at Layton. It is seldom though that a congregation can command such thorough musical tiili'iit as they have here. The presiding spirit at the organ is an elegaut musician and an lnoomparable vocalist. Add to this that her devotion to her profession precludes any mention of a salary even, and you have a condition that Is the envy of most other congregations. The supporting Voices In the choir have been well cultiva ted, aud their education in tint higher branches is leing rapidly perfected uuder the care of the gifted organist.

J 1 V1 li 1 L826 i 1 "vi casionaly have to race It to get out on time Still they are Improving. Thero Is an epidemic of colds and sore throats prevalent In this vicinity. It plays havoc with school attendance, and makes all very uncomfortablo who are afflicted with lt.( Some cases are very scvore, and closely resemble true diphtheria. Dr. J. N. Miller Is said to have attended nlxmt 80 cases a fow years ago in an epidomlo In which the Hymptons were very slmular to those In this epidemic Query; Do such epidemics have a tendency to recur at, or near regular Intervals? Mrs. George Robinson and children of Germantown, Pa., made a flying visit to friends at Halncsvlllo, and Layton, stay ing from Friday to Monday. The Rev. C. 8. Colt preached a sormon In the church at Layton the first Sunday In October, anil just SO years' later the reverend gentleman again preached In the shmo church, and from the same text. I am told that only one porson was present who heard the first sermon. It is not very probablo that one was very much Impressed with the similarity of the two sermons after the lapse of half a century. The apple orop is general? a surprise when peoplo oome to gather It. The ap ples have hung on the trees well, are very fair, and have colored up nloely. The only fault Is, that through overloading the size Is In many cases reduce. With their plenteousness and the hard tint's prices promise a low average. The last season has been a hard one on roads that have been worked flat, or not at ull.os they principally are In Sandyston, The washing roins have been frequcnt,and the loose stones are strongly In ovidonoe almost everywhere. We think sometimos when an especially tough job of rood work comes under our notioe, that it would be preferable for the State to assumo all care of the roads, and work them on scientific principles. Let the expense be what it may, It would perhaps be a wise economy in the long run. The average road over seers capacity to get away with a maxi mum of boneflta occuring therefrom seems tbe bo marked, that nothing better Is ever to be expected In the present direction We have the best mntorial In the world at hand, aud yet have miserable roads. The assessor has made up his Duplicate which shows a valuation of $231,050, a tax rate of (13.50 per thousand, and a tax amounting to HlHtf, in Sandyston townsnlp The number of polls is 73; soldiers IS, and dogs 188. The valuation Is lower,, but the rate 1b much higher. Among the reasons for this is the increase In assessor and col lectors fees, the high salaries of County officials, the new school system, and the loose hldoeduess of the freeholders of the county In particular. Too many dogs, and too many fut ollices are neither one Indica tions of an approaching era of prosperity fbr the producer, who Is generaly the tax payer. The little son of Elmer Roe who broke both his arms sometime ago seems to be peculiarly unfortunate. Lost week an ox stepped on ou of hU thumbs, crushing the nail off, and, otherwise bruising It. The Halnesvllle church was thoroughly cleaned, and dusted lost week. New stoves were put up, and a chandelier of handsome design sheds purest light on all below. The inside equipment is both neut and comfortable, no better In the valley. Now if they only had our splendid choir, we can imagine how happy they would be. . It is now said to be the open season for partridge, and the closed season tat suulr rel and rabbit. It Is surprising1 how general the condemnation of the present game laws is getting to bo. No one seems able to say a good word for them, nor give a good reason why they should not be sensi bly abridged. DINGMAN'S FERRY. (Special Correspondence to the Press.)

MONTAGUE, (Special Correspondence to the Press.) Montaol-e, Oct. 6th. The people of Montague feel very ldignant and with pro per cause against the action of your over'1 rodlculous fish warden, Dr., Prof., or Hon., Moses Van Gorden In arresting W, Brewster a resident of this town for the illegal construction of an eel weir In the Delaware. Strange I the weir In question had been removed by Brewster nearly two weeks before his arrest. Strange again other eel weirs or the owners are not dis. turbed aud whyf If some Pike county resident should get arrested over here for some violation of the fish and game law Just put the blame on your Ash warden.

What Are Von Going to do About It? Mr. Ewtchi : f note in tho Hcvisnd Statutes of Kew Jersey, pnjre Gill, wet-ion 1, the following laiifruiiffo, ".No man shall niarfy his wife's d iuttlitcr." Does it moan any thins?? Then a Rain on page 234, pert-ion 89, occurs this lan guage, "AH persons who shall inter marry within the deo vees prohibited by law, or l.riir related within such degrees, siuiil Togotuer commit, for. nicntion or adultery, shall i)( B(, judged to he guilty ot incest and a misdemoc nov, and on conviction thereof, shall ho punished by fine not excce-lin-.'-? .VH'. or ).y i:n.;,.-;son. mentatleii l lahor, not exceeding eighteen months, or both, at the dis cretion of ho court before whom such conviction f'i 11 be had." Doos this mean nnyihvr? Does it not mean that wheceas the Bible soes sin m such mt rniarriago, man in his wisdom 1 is ..! ! concluded that it is detrimcT ta!, and has therefore made it a violation of the organic law, and ineori ;-vu 1 it, in their statutes in im terms, accompanied by such penalties as violations of the law soemed to demand. When this law is openly violated by part ies who move in so called good soeie ty, as it is right hero in Sandys ton ; where nro you going to place peoplo m the moral scale who wink at it, or even go-so far as to oponly defend it That such a con dition of things should continue to exist in this community, for two long years, practically without pro test, seems almost incredible. Has the moral sense of this community already becomo so blunted that they do not observe that such criminal imorality is a menace to purity in social life, and threatens the disrup tion of all that is pure and desirable in the marriage relation? Surely it is as direct a stab at the convention al rules' of good society, as it is a direct violation of statute law. Its whole influence is demoralizing in the extremo, and one is lod to won der how long our people will con tinue willingly to contribute in this manner to their own moral degrala tion. If an outraged community moves.only to find the usual avenues of justice blockod by improper in fluences, as the only attempt in this case haa boon, how long think you that method can prevail? Not for long let me assure you. It is a method that only those use who fear justice, and is just as sure to recoil upon its authors, as the setting is to follow tho rising or the sun. t LETTERS FKOM THE PEOPLE.

The Tress correspondent at Ehf- tou telegraphed last night that Dr. Shull, of Stroudsburg, was in Eas ton Wednesday and had offered Monroe's vote to Howard Mutchlor if the latter would lie a Congressi onal candidate, and that Mutchlor said "no." A telephone message from Strouds burg to-day to the Free Press gives an interview with Br. Shull, in which he denies being in ' Easton Wednesday, and denies offoring tho Monroe vote to Mntehlor. He says further that ho told Mutchlor two years ago at Milford that Monroe would never vote for a Northamp ton Democratic candidate until Monroe had a term in Congress. The Press dispatch was n conden sation of Free Press articles on tho subject. It seems that Dr. Bhull was not hero on Wednesday. Ho was horo. on Tuesday, but did not see Mr. Mutehler. Ho saw some of Mutchlor's friends and said ho had withdrawn. Last wock Monroo re presentatives wore here and tender ed to friends of Mr. Mntehlor the support of tho Monroe men if he do sired it.
