it is presented within .'!<> days after
the date of Issue. AU.er the expira

Innumerable requests have been re- '
ceived in the past. it was said at the l
department for the establishment of

is in accordaucc with the policy of the
department in liista Hint: even possible

to appeal with special force to the
traveling public, sale-men. tourists, |

the average time which elapses be

time within which the money order
may t >? - paid at any money order ofihv
is considered ample, hut should the
owner of the order desire to extend
that period, ii may be done by the pur
chase of a new order for a nominal

It is also pointed out that the banks
of the country will be benefitted by
the new procedure, as in cashing mo

Peay's Kerry. The army devasted

the houses. Cattle and horses, coyn,
provisions, meat, Indeed everything
was taken. So great was the tlosola
tion that it was said that for miles
around that country no rooster could

prominence in Ids neighborhood had
Ids home thus raided, his gin house

stolen, and th the midst t ?f this whole
sale robbery, a large ho.\ of line to

up and said: "l must have some of
that tobacco for my husband." "Cer

shall take what you wish of it." The
good lady accordingly filled her arms
and was about to put it in a safe place,
when a dapper ill'tle Yankee stepped
up to her and began to snatch it from
her saying he wanted some for him

istered a ringing slap upon his face.
The otlicers applauded and she kept
the tobacco.

This was on Keb. LM and but for a
very hyuvy-raiu, probably more houses
would' have been destroyed by lire. A
body of troops encamped on Hampton
square itnd burned and pillaged to
some extent. The lirst place burned
was tin' historic old Cornwallls house

reason given for this act of vandalism
was that we had kept some federal
prisoners there. The depots and many
stores were also destroyed. < Mie noble

My Dear Si*-^/ 1 most certainly be
lieve that education has made greater
progress in this state under compul
sory education than before such a law
was passed.
It would be a very unpopular move
on the part of anyone In New" Jersey
to propose to repeal the compulsory ed
