it. The judges decided in favor of the
negative side. The Hayne day celebra
tion, which was to have been held in
May, was postponed until next term
on account of other matters more
pressing at present. An honored visi

According to the proclamation, there
lived on the hills of Hudson county
mnny years ago an Indian tribo ’that

men, the beauty of a maid, Melzingah,
The bronze skinned maiden, it is said,
I had the Indian sign on all tho young
