SOCIETIES AND CORPORATEINS.
Fox Hunting Club. - There was established in Woodbury, in 1776. a " Fox Hunting Club" that in its day became quite famous. Among its members were some of the most prominent citizens of the county, and of Philadelphia. The chase lasted from one to six hours, and sometime- hot pursuits were made, extend- ing over a vast extent of country, for eight or ten hours after an old, straightforward, fleet-running fox. In 1798 one of the hunters in the chase carried the pack of hounds in full ery to Salem, a distance of upwards of thirty miles. The farmers hailed the huntsman and hounds as friends, their stock suffering so much from these animals, and permitted the hun- ters to traver-e their fields and wood- unmolested, after and before the time for tilling the land.
One of the most noted members of this club was Jonas Cattell. He was more than six feet in height, and of a very strong and vigorous constitution, the re- sult of a life of temperance and wholesome exercise. Ile pursued the chase on foot. and when the riders, horses, and hounds were tired he did not appear to be fatigued. He once, when fifty years of age, ontran an Indian in a trial of speed from Mount Holly to Woodbury, a distance of twenty-two miles. On an- other occasion. for a wager, he went on foot from Woodbury to Cape Island, a distance of eighty miles. in one day, delivered a letter, and returned next day with an answer.
Samuel Morris, of Philadelphia, was president of the club. The Revolutionary war for a time put a stop to the chase, when Samuel Morri-, as its captain, and twenty-two of its members formed the "First Troop of Philadelphia City Cavalry." They nearly all served faithfully in the troop during the campaign of 1776-77. After the war the club was revived, and had an existence, in all, of over half a century.
Of the members from Philadelphia was the once efficient mayor, Gen. Robert Wharton, and from Woodbury were Gen. F. Davenport, John Lawrence, E-q., Capt. James B. Cooper, Capt. Samuel Whitall, Col. Heston, Col. Joshua Howell, Samuel Harrison, E-q., and ex-sheriff Jesse Smith, Esq.
Woodbury Library Company .- This company was in-tituted in 1794, and incorporated in 1814. It was first known as the " Union Library of Woodbury." In 1872 it contained one thousand volumes of well- selected and valuable books. The original member- ship embraced, as does the present, many of the lead- ing citizens of the city. Jacob Wood was the first librarian, and Michael C. Fi-her treasurer.
Many of the names are still familiar; such as Sannder-, Wood, Whitall, Wilkins, Ward, Cooper, Reeves, Mickle, Tatum, Roe, Stevens, Howell, Brown, Matlack, Hugg, Harkee, Davenport, West, Caldwell, Rulon, Sparks, Jaggard, Webster, and Fisher. For a number of years the library was kept in the court- house, and was afterwards removed to its present location in the town hall.

This sum has accrued from weekly dues, fu- neral assessments, profits on excursions, and income arising from investment -. After paying out nearly eleven thousand dollars for rent, salaries, dues to Grand Lodge, sick benefits, funeral benefit-, and in- cidentals, there is still in the treasury, of cash and securities, a little over four thousand dollars.

Woodbury Loan Association.1-At the one hun- dred and twenty-third regular monthly meeting of the board of directors of the Woodbury Real Estate and Mutual Loan Association, held on Wednesday even- ing, July 13, 1881, in Room No. 1, Green's Block, the stock of the first series was declared to have reached the matured value of two hundred dollars per share. This much-desired result has been accomplished by regular consecutive payments of one dollar per month on each share for a period of ten years and three months. By the above action, bonds and mortgages amounting to twenty-three thousand dollars will be released and canceled in favor of stockholders who have borrowed on their stock, and ten thousand six hundred dollars will be paid to other stockholders who have not taken loans on their shares.

Stokes; Solicitor, James Moore: Directors, Stephen McHenry, Wil- liam Wade Griscom, James H. Pierson, Edwin Stokes, John M. Henderson ; Auditors, John S. Jes- sup, Henry R. Russell, Adon W. Cattell. having only been compelled to purchase three prop- erties to avoid losses. one of which has since been disposed of, while the other two are yet owned by it, their combined value being abont two thousand five hundred dollars. Less than one thousand dollars loss has been sustained during the whole time, in the general depreciation of real estate which prevailed for several years during its history, and less than five thousand dollars has been collected by fore- closures in addition to the three properties purchased at sheriff's sale.
The first collection of dues was made at this meet- ing, and amounted to four hundred and eighteen dollars. The first sale of loans took place June 7, 1871, when one thousand dollars was sold to Thomas R. Clayton, at a premium of twenty per cent. This Joan was secured on a new house and lot situated im- mediately opposite the railroad depot, which prop- erty has since been sold to George C. Green, E-q., by Mr. Clayton, at a handsome increase over the original cost. This loan was allowed to remain, and is among those now canceled. The payments made thereon were six hundred and fifteen dollars for monthly dues and six hundred and seventy-five dollars and seventy- nine cents for interest, making twelve hundred and ninety dollars and seventy-nine cents as the total amount paid to liquidate the debt of one thousand dollars originally created by the mortgage. If eight hundred dollars, the amount actually received after the premium was deducted on the above loan, had heen borrowed at the same time in the ordinary way for a period of ten years and one month, the real length of time the money was nsed, the result would have been as follows when the time arrived to pay the debt: Principal, $800; seven years and one month's interest at seven per cent., 8396.66; three years' interest at six per cent., $144, making a total
of business transacted will be shown by the following statement :
Eleven series of stock have been issued, one at the beginning of each year in May, the number in each being as follows: First series, 483 shares; second, 226; third, 310; fourth, 223; fifth, 276; sixth, 271; seventh, 350; eightlı, 364; ninth, 593; tenth, 549; eleventh, 436; making the total issue in all series amount to 4081 shares. These numbers have all been decreased, however, by withdrawals and for- feitures.
The rate of interest on loans was seven per cent. per annum until changed by the State law in 1878, since which time it has been six per cent. The highest premium ever paid for money wa- twenty-six and one-half per cent., and the lowest one per cent. The premiums have averaged about eleven per cent. on the total amount of sales since organization.
After the first series has been fully paid and can- celed, the association will still contain ten series, comprising eighteen hundred and fifty-six shares, with assets amounting to over ninety thousand dol- lars, and a membership of three hundred and forty -

eight stockholders. Loans will be sold at each regu- ar monthly meeting, and a new series will probably be issued yearly hereafter.
The following is a brief reference to the time of service of the various officers of the association, all of whom are still living except Messrs. Harris, Moore, and Ballinger :
George E. Harris, the most active organizer of the association, and its first president, died Oct. 9, 1872, after serving faithfully one year and five months in the office, and contributing very much from his Phil- adelphia experience with building associations in giving the enterprise a successful start. Ile was sue- oveded by John S. Jessup, Esq., who has continued to serve acceptably since that time.
John H. Bradway served three years as vice-presi- dent, James II. Pierson five years and six months, and Charles W. Starr, the present occupant, has filled the station with level-headed dignity and complete success for nine months.
George E. Pierson has filled the office of secretary and director without interruption the whole time, and has never been absent from a regular meeting of the association or board of directors during that period.
Samuel W. Stokes was treasurer six years, and W. Harrison Livermore, the present very efficient officer, four years and three months. Both of these officers have discharged their duties faithfully and without any loss to the association or its members.
W. Harrison Livermore, who still prepares all the legal papers in due form, three years and six months. The documents drawn by these officers have always been models of neatness and correctnes -.
Of those who have filled the very responsible office of director, William Wade Griscom, of the original board, has served continuously ten years and three monthis; Edwin Stokes, seven years; Charles W. Starr, five years and six months : Israel C. Voorhies, five years and four months : John MI. Henderson, five years and two months; George G. Green, four years and seven months; Samuel W. Stokes, four years and three months, in addition to six years' service as director ex officio while treasurer ; W. Harrison Liv- ermore, three years, in addition to service in other offices ; James H. Pierson, three years, in addition to other service as vice-president ; Dr. Wallace Me- George, one year and five months ; Stephen Mellenry. one year ; and George II. Barker, six months. These directors all served without any compensation what- ever. They receive, as they richly deserve. the earn- est thanks of all the stockholders for the careful manner in which they have di-charged their duties and the good judgment always manifested in invest- ing the funds of the association.
The somewhat laborious office of auditor has been very conscientiously and faithfully filled by Henry R. Ru-sell for eight years. Adon W. Cattell also served seven years; Edward Ballinger, five years;
Dr. Wallace MeGeorge, four years, with great care and thoroughness ; William Bradway, three years : C. Oscar Abbott, two years ; and John S. Jessup. one year. These oficers and rendered valuable assistance, and all served also without any compensation for their labors.
The present officers of the association are as fol- lows: President, John S. Je-up; Vice-President, Charles W. Starr; Secretary, George E. Pierson ; Treasurer, W. Harrison Livermore ; Directors, Wil- liam Wade Griscom, Israel C. Voorhies, Samuel W. Stokes, George II. Barker. John M. Henderson ; So- licitor, W. Harrison Livermore ; Auditors, Henry R. Russell.
