John O’Connell of Vineland was ar- raigned before Justice Edwin Miller on the charge of 1indulging in profane language, preferred by his son William. The squire ordered a revolver 1o be taken from the prisoner, and then asked him for an explanation. O’Connell replied that at a family re- union he had reproved one of the boys. “You are fined 50 cents per oath,” said | Justice Miller. “Your fine will be $150 with costs, and if you don’t pay it at once 1 will railroad you to jail.”” ~O'Connell paid the fine, which with costs amounted to $4 70.—Philadelphia Press. —————— The illuminating power of gas largely depends on the shape of the burner em- rloved.
