DENNISVILLE ITEMS.

Capt. Stephen Hugen is suffering from the effect of gas lime getting into a sore on his hand a short time since. It is feared he will not recover. I — ~ — — While Mr. Marshall, traveling agent fpr a Philadelphia firm was driving from Woodbine to Dennisville on Wednesday last his horse made a mis-step causing him to fall and break both hind legs. The horse was a valuable one and lielonjjs to J. II. Bcnezet A Bro., Cape May city. While the improvement hi our quiet little village may be slow still it is steady. Twenty years ago the bulk of the business was done on the landing, in old stylo store-houses with their low ceilings and heavy joists, between which wore bundles of cotton, rakes, pitch -forks shovels, hoes, etc., well covered with du8t and wohs. Our places of worship vrt»re the "Old Union Church." and the M. E. church at South Dennis. We had two old school houses, two blacksmith shops, and two hotels. There was an occasional vessel built, from twenty to one hundred and fifty tons burden. WA have the handsome store !

built by J. W. Young last year ana occupied by J. E. White who keeps a large and choice stock ; the store of Mr. F. B. i Bushnell, rebuilt about six years ago and now filled with the best assortment of hoots and slioes in the town ; the { store built by Mr. MAckey Williams, and now used by Capt. H. M. Carrol as a general store ; one of the finest hotels in the county, kept by Mackey Williams; 1 two large new school houses ; two now churches, with their I*** al handsome go*****. shops; one wheelwright shop; two grist mills ; two saw mills ; and other branches Of busincm. During the Inst eight years thero have been laiilt about a dozen coasting vessels with a carrying capacity of from 400 to 800 tons each, and we now have others in course of construetion. Every one seems to be employed at fair wages. We have many natural advantages, and good soil' for groin or truck. Au that is needed to make Dennisville one of the finest towns in the county is for the land-holders to offer extra inducements to strangers to oomo and settle upon our unimproved lands. More anon. Dennis.

Dr. Summers comes out emphatically in its defence. A great advantage of tho system, he savs, is that it eecures to every preacher a "parish and to every parish a preacher. "Some of the charges are not very desirable ; but they all frirnbh a minister with work, and they mil pay him something for the work he performs. Some of the ministew are not accomplished men, but they all approved by lay and clerical courts, and the poorest of them are hotter than hone," Dr. Summers points out, toes that itinerant preachers, by using their sermons over and over, save themselves a great amount of labor. He states a third argument as follows; "What difficulties and annoyances and animosities are frequently connected with resignations and rails among our hivthWW who have a settled ministry? thie of the most revolting tilings 1 know is a minister going around fhom churcji to church preaching 'trial' sermons, meting aa *a supply;' criticised bv incompetent persons, subjected to impertinent questions, black -l>al led, or, if called, responding with the knowledge that a respert able minority opposed the cell.
