Keen, the liveryman, has a handsome Lance wood colt, which he claims is the fastest for its age in this county.

Who shall be Post-master? This is the question uppermost in the public mind. We hope the best man will win.

Mr. John Cheesman, of the Patriot,' has purchased a handsome colt, which promises superior ability as a trotter.

The toll was off on the Bridgeton and Millville turnpike on Saturdajr and Sun- day. It would be well to keep it off until the road is in first-class condition.

The famous Barnabee Concert Com- pany, which so delighted the large audience that heard them, will open the new Course of the Y. M. C. A., this Thurs- day evening, at Moore’s Music Hall, at 8 o clock. You will miss a great treat if you do not attend.

We are gratified to learn that pros- pects for establishing the Ferroline works in this city are improving. Mr. Rosenzi states in a telegram, that the company was organized in New York City last Saturday, with the understand- ing that Bridgeton was to be the place of operation.

An unusual religious interest is felt throughout the whole city. Nearly all the churches are holding special services. At the First and Second Presbyterian, First Baptist, Commerce Street, Trinity and Central Methodist, Laurel Hill Methodist Protestant and Mount Zion Churches, numbers are seeking the Saviour and many have been added to the membership.

The parties who propose to start the works in this city for the manufacture of sugar from sorghum, are expected here some time this month, to look | around and see what advantages and facilities -we are prepared to offer for such an enterprise. We trust our farmers and land holders will give them a hearty welcome so that they may be in- duced to locate here.

The great attraction of this week, in fact the great entertainment of the sea-

son, will be the grand concert by the Barnabee Concert Company this even-

ing, at Moore’s Opera House. This will begin the new Lecture Course of the Y. M. C. A., announced elsewhere. No one can afford to miss so nice a treat as that of hearing the inimitable Barnabee and the members of his company.

Hon. George Kennan, who delivers the first lecture of the Y. M. C. A. Dollar Course, on Wednesday evening, the 31st inst., on “Dog Travel, &c.,” is distin- guished as a scholar, traveler and author. His “Tent Life in Siberia,” has made him famous as a writer, and as a lec- turer he adds to his varied knowledge the advantage of an attractive and enthusiastic delivery. Mr. Kennan spent three years in Siberia, and knows where- of he speaks.

The fair of the Cumberland County Agricultural Society will be held Sep- tember 5th and Ctli. Messrs. Eli E. Rogers, Edward M. Mulford and Joseph Glaspey have been appointed a committee to visit other places with a view of getting the best plans for the permanent buildings to be erected in this city.

Mrs. Livermore will lecture for the Y. M. C. A., in this city, sometime during March or April. This lecture was to have been given in the regular course, but owing to the illness of Mrs. Liver- more it was postponed. The regular course tickets and those purchased especially for this lecture last Pall, will be good when the lecture is given.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the glassblowers and workingmen of Bridgeton, was held in Grosscup's Hall, Friday evening last; Mr. Goldsmith Hall’ presided. Speeches were made by Win. M. Manks, Esq., of Millville, Assembly- man John B. Campbell, F. G. Tomlin, President of the Eastern Association of Glassworkers of New York; Charles S. Simmerman, of the Bureau of Labor Sta- tistics and Industries, Trenton, and Mr. Tice, of this city. The speeches were received with applause, and their senti- ments endorsed by the audience.

In these days when so many people are compelled to wear glasses to assist their vision, it is expedient that they should exercise great care lest they use

glasses unfit for their eyes. They should consult reliable opticians and have them examine their eyes in a professional way and secure spectacles suited to them. We can recommend Mr. John McCord of this city, as a first-calssoptician. What he tells you or sells you can be depended upon. Many of our citizens can testify to the superiority of his spectacles. His place of business is on Commerce street, opposite the bank.

• Joseph S. Miner, our postmaster, an-

) nounces his intention of not again being ! a candidate for re-appointment. Owing

to failing health, and for other good rea-

sons, he is anxious to retire. During the eighteen years of his incumbency of the Post Office. Mr. Miner has proved a com-

petent and worthy official. His record has been above suspicion, and he leaves the ofEee with great credit as a faithful public servant. Mr. Miner received his first appointment from Abraham Lin- coln, in March. 1865. President Lincoln was assassinated before the commission was issued, and Andrew Johnson, on be- coming President, refused to issue a commission to him, and for two years he held the office under a temporary commission. President Johnson at last issued a commission to him March 28, 1867, for four years. He was re-appointed by President Grant March 13th, 1871, and February 26tli, 1875, and by President Hayes March 3d, 1879. His present term will expire March 3d, next.

On Saturday evening last, one of the large window glass factories of Jones & Townsend, of this city, was discovered to be on fire. The fire originated in the pot oven, and spread with great rapidity. The factory was entirely destroyed, with all its contents, consisting of a large melt of glass and valuable pots. Sparks from the burning factory set fire to eleven houses in the vicinity, but the flames were extinguished before much damage was done. The loss is estimated at $6,000.

Interesting revival services are in pro- gress at the First M. E. Church, under the pastorate of Rev. G. B. Wight-

Captain Souther is meeting with ex- cellent success in moving buildings. Last week, he moved a house at Mill- ville, with two families inside, without putting them to the trouble of moving their things. It was placed on a solid foundation, and both chimneys on the house stood firmly. Not one brick fell from the walls, and the families experi- enced no discomfort.

As soon as the estate of Lincoln Farr is settled, operations will be continued on the oii cloth factory, at which he was

working prior to his death. The anniversary of the birth of Tom

Payne was celebrated at Cosmopolitan- Hall, on Sunday last. Speeches were

made by Messrs. Merwin, Cotton, Camp- bell and Hurn. A poem was also read by Thomas Street. The meeting was

entirely harmless in character, and no

revival is expected to spring up as a re-

sult of the assembly. It afforded an ex-

cellent opportunity for a few cranks to get off a little pent up gusli.

Rev. Mr. Finch is suffering from an

attack of sore throat.

The oyster business is on the decline. The stock now caught is poor and weak.

Capt. John Riggins is in a critical con-

The crown of a hat lately seen moving along the road between the Post-office and depot, is said to be all that was visible of a gentleman from Vineland, on a load of salt hay. According to report, the team and driver came out of the mud near the hotel. This is one of the worst roads in the township, and should re-

ceive some attention. An accident recently occurred in Port

Norris, which came near resulting fatally. By some slip, the draught of a cook stove was not properly adjusted. The apartment at the time was occupied by a young lady and young gentleman, who

j were found in an unconscious condition

| from the effects of coal gas. But for the timely discovery, their sweet spirits would have taken their everlasting flight.

Rumor has it that the mass of shells at the Union Oyster Company’s place, have been bought by Mr. Daniel Sharp.

Nelson Vliet, of Townsbury, Warren county, raised an unusually large and fine crop of pumpkins, in a lot near,his residence last year. From four hills he grew six vines from which he gathered 14.000 pounds of pumpkins, some of them weighing as high as seventy pounds apiece.

Davis Warner, of Bordentown, some- what famous in his way in that city, took a trip in the woods and swamps within a few miles of the place recently, and returned, leading by strings, 11 live possums, 3 raccoons, 4 groundhogs, be- sides carrying over his shoulder a large sack of terrapins.

The small pox epidemic is now re-

garded as ended at Paterson. There are but six cases in the hospital, and they are all out of danger. No cases have been reported for several days. Since the beginning of the epidemic there have been 183 cases of the disease, of which 33 resulted fatally.

A careful estimate shows that there were sold from Atlantic county last year 127.000 bushels of oysters and fifteen mil- lion clams. At $1.30 a bushel, the oysters were worth $105,000; and at 20 cents a hundred the clams were worth $30,000. Including the fish that are also valuable, the products of the waters bordering Atlantic county were worth last year more than $200,000.—Atlantic Times.

Should he live till the loth of March, Capt. A. B. Frazee will have completed his fiftieth year of continuous service in the employ of the Camden and Amboy Railroad Company and their successors. He began his labors when only 13 years of age, as cabin boy on the “Napoleon,” which was at that time running on the North River. For nearly three decades he has occuupied his present position as

Superintendent of the Federal Street Ferry, Camden.

The twenty-sixth session of the New- ark Annual Conference is to be held in Phillipsburg, beginning March 28tli. Bishop Foss is to preside. There are about 250 ministers, representing a mem-

bership of nearly 40,000. Two of the members in this Conference have died since the last session. Rev. J. K. Burr. D. D., April 25th, and the venerable J. H. Dundy, May 12th. Both were on the superanuated list. Several new ministers will come into the Conference, among them being the Rev. J. E. Price, of New Brunswick.

Job ismith, Assistant Keeper of the Highland Lights, at Navesink, Mon- mouth county, being imprisoned alone in the building by the recent snow storm, attempted to thaw out the lard oil pipes of the lights with an alcohol flambeau, and was nearly burned to death by the flaming alcohol. He ran .out of the house all ablaze, and saved himself by diving into the snow, although he was

terribly burned. He attended the lights until daylight, and then signalled to the village at the foot of the hill for aid, when the regular keeper came to his relief. He will be marked for life, but his condition is not considered critical.

There is at present living at Clarks- burg, Monmouth county, a man by the name of John Lest, who is 97 years of age, and has never seen a steamboat or a locomotive.

He lives with a sister who is 86 years of age, and has a sister living at Fair Haven 70 years of age. He also has a brother living a Brown’s Mills 79 years of age, who distrusts steam cars, and last week walked from Brown’s Mills to Clarksburg, from Clarksburg to Red Bank, and from Red Bank to Trenton, where he has relatives.—Ocean County Democrat.

The Woodsiown Register says: At a

meeting of the tomato growers in Salem recently, about seventy farmers were in attendance. It was unanimously voted that the growers demand of the packers this season $8 per ton for tomatoes—an advance of $1 per ton over last year, and a paper to that effect received the signatures of sixty-three growers. A committee was appointed to secure additional signatures. The following resolu- tion was offered and unanimously adopted:— Whereas, Notice having been given at

this meeting of the intention of packers to throw out those prominent in the effort to get a higher price for tomatoes, now be it Resolved, That we, the tomato growers here assembled, do hereby pledge our-

selve to sustain our officers and members, and to decline selling to any packer taking such action against any tomato grower.

Born in a Freight Depot.—A young 1 woman carrying^ a bundle, entered a 1 train on the New York, Lake Erie and

Western Railroad at the West Passaic depot a few days since. The conductor, after the train had again stopped on its journey to Jersey City, went to her seat, and as she handed her ticket, which en- titled her to a passage to this city, he noticed the bundle and became suspic- ious. He telegraphed to have an officer in waiting at the Jersey City depot on the arrival of the train. Special Officer Gerdts was in waiting, and on the arrival of the train interrogated the woman and she gave unsatisfactory answers, and he took her to the police station where she complained for the first time of being ill. City Physician Morris was

summoned, and found that the woman had recently become a mother. The bundle contained her living daughter, to which she had given birth in the freight depot at West Passaic, while waiting for the train. She is Mrs. Mary Rogers, of Barnegat, N. J. A few weeks ago she was deserted by her hus- band nnd she went in search of him. She traced him to West Passaic, and there ascertained that he had gone to New York. So desirous was she to find him that she forgot her serious condition. —Paterson Press.

Jared B. Harding, a hunter and his indian guide were caught in a snow storm on the mountains near Glendive, Mon- tana, a few weeks ago. The men groped along a trail for several miles to find late in the afternoon they had mistaken their bearing and were perhaps further away from their cabin than at the start toward it. As they moved down into a ravine for shelter they discovered a cave, into the warm depth of which they crawled. Kindling a fire they began to broil bits of venison steak, the odor of which en- ticed a grizzly bear to the mouth of the cave. The hunters scaled one of the walls of the cavern very quickly, obtain- ing foothold on a ledge several feet above the floor. The grizzly ran round and round the cave for several minutes and than ate all the provisions he could find. He did not seem to mind the men until Harding shot at him. At the report he tried to get at his assailant, who fired half a dozen shots with his repeating rifle, the Indian alternating. The bear left at the tenth shot and on the following day was found five or six miles away, where he had died from the loss of blood.

A lawsuit in St. Louis, incidentally fur- nishes proof that some American wine is genuine. The defendant is sued for $30,000 damages, because, as the employe of a vineyard company, he spoiled 70,000 bottles of wine by failing to take proper care of it from the time it was mere grape juice until it became champagne.

BY THE THROAT. Where aNew Jersey Shipbuilder Caught his Enemy, and who helped him do it. “No, they don’t kill a man outright, but they

are harder to bear than many things that do, and I had been their victim for thirty years. Why, I have been awakened from my sleep by them, and fancied the contents of my skull must have broken loose from its fastenings, so terrible was the pain,” said Mr. Grant Gokey, of No. 70 Sussex street, Jersey City, while descanting on bilious sick headaches—a theme on which ho appeared quite at home.

"Well,” responded a guest of Mr. Gokey’s, who had been scourged in that way many times himself, “you must have conquered your old enemy somehow, or you couldn't enjoy your cigars daily as you say you do now, for headache and smok- ing never did agree.”

“That’s true,” answered the shipbuilder, “I did t his: when I had become thoroughly tired of pills powders and prescriptions, I told our family phrsl lcian that I was going to try Dr. David Kennedv’s FAVORITE REMEDY—the Rondout, N Y rem- cay, y°u know. Our domestic doctor, being a sensible fellow, and not having any of the bile of jealousy in his system, said: ‘All right; try it.’ I did, and now I just take my old enemy by the throat, and hold him off at arm’s length*.”

“Capital thing, I should think, to have* in the house, said the chance caller irrelevantly.

“What? the headache or the medicine?” ‘Tbe medicine, of course.” “It is, and in your gripsack, too. I took some

with me to Ocean Grove last summer, and it did more good than some of the sermons.”

A Perfect Combination with two Salient Advantages—Why it Concerns You. “There is no mistake about it,” remarked Dr

J*. Ev,Ei?™ors, of Gallatin, Missouri, “BENSON’S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS are one of the neatest combinations ever produced. They have two kinds of advantages over all others which wo may call the minor and the major. First, they are clean and pleasant to use, never soiling the hands nor the linen of the wearer. Secoud they act quickly and powerfully. I have tried the Capcine Plaster on myself for pneumonia, and on my patients for various diseases, such as neural- gia, muscular rheumatism, lumbago, kidney trouble, etc., and in all cases relief has followed in from three to forty-eight hours.”

Dr. Flower merely voices the written or oral thousands in his profession. BEN- SON S CAPCINE POROUS PLASTERS are the perfect external application. The genuine have the word CAPCIN E cut in the centre Price 25
