At a comparatively small expenditure the oornera of our streets might be marked with "finger board*.'* An excursion to Anglesey waa anno u need on Thursday last. Thursday came but the excursion did not. The wbe merchant knows that judicious advertising pays. Thb b the time to take meastlres to command a good spring trade. House cleaning time is near, and Benexet* furnishing store is full of Brooms, Tubs, Pails, scrubbing brushes, white-wash brushes etc. The barkentine Rse R, Sharp is long

overdue at Lisbon, and fears are enter tamed that she has been k**t. We sincerely hope that th£ fears will prove groundless. Advertisers should remember that the Gaxbtts covers a hitherto unoccupied ground, and fa* therefore as good an advertising medium as can be found in the county. That never foiling emblem of Spring, trailing arbutus, is beginning to show itself among the leaves. The ladies are ever .willing to accept a branch of it from the "boys." Authority, not Rumor, says that deeds for lots at Angleaea are gradually coming into the County Clerk's Office to be recorded. Two being received in one mall last Tuesday. And now the housewife b busy cleaning paints, scrubbing floors, dusting out etc.— -for the new tenant to come in and «'ill her all sorts of hard names, and do the work all over herself. Tt will soon be time to begin the usual Spring lesson* in painting — with the white- wash brush. It is said by some that annual use of so much lime here, to a great extent, accounts fur the health of the town. We speak from experience when we say thai Cha*. B.

Mr. Josiah Craig has at last completed )»:* new blacksmith si top on Main street, below Mechanic. We suppose that ere many days have passed we shall hear the merry ring of the steel. We wish him success. As this is leap year, the young men ought to take advantage of it, and next summer when walking around with your sweethearts, stop at every ice cream saloon window and throw out all the hints imaginable. * Plant tansy at the roots of your plum trees, or hang branches of the plant on the limbs of the trees, and you will not he annoyed with curoulio. An old and successful fruit grower furnishes the above, and says it is the not* successful preventive be has ever tried. In no other place in the county is the trimming of shade trees so sadly neglect ed as here at the Court House. Some of the limbs over-hanging Mechanic street are within five feet of the ground and make pedestrians use some rough language. These un trimmed trees are pa-thmlsriy framing when one is obliged to carfy an umbrella. Morgan Hand, the Secretary of "the Omorai Association of the Kiddle Town •hip, in the county of (Jape May," gives notice that the annual meeting of the association will be held Jn this place at the Union Hotel, on Tuesday the 8th day of April, 18*0, at 8 o'clock P. M.f tor the purpose of electing Trustees for fbe ensuing year, and transacting other necessary business. Our friend L. T. Entricken is having a shop erected oti Mechanic Street, next door to the Oa—fl 1 office where he will in a few days establish a branch of his Cape May 0% marble works. Mr. J5. has been very successful In his enter prises during the past and we hope this ' new one will ha attended with a like ; 1

Vfo* President, Thomas Purdy . Secretary, If is* Emma Eenae* Treasurer, Miss Ada BeueaaU, J. t. , J0 Mufng. Esq., was re-nominated for president but declined, saying that the Moiety would no doubt be benefited by 4 change. The programme, aa announind in our last issue, was then brought out in a creditable manner. The address of Rev. P. M. Randolph is worthy of special mention, being not only Interesting hut contained many practical points which if care frilly considered can not but result in good. There was just enough humor woven in with the solid to keep the attention of t ho young. Sps- e witl not permit us to give a detailed account of the exercises, but we think, taken as a whole the session was the most interesting one we have attended.

The Gazettr meets with much favor. i Many are asking "when will work be commenced on the projected brunch railroad to Anglesea." Ocean City (Pecks Beach) will be 1 superintended h y Rev. R. R Lake, the originator of this promising religious summer resort. The ten per cent, restoration of wages to employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad affects those of the A'est Jersey, and they receive the good news with evident satisfaction. The M. E. Church pulpit at Dennisville is to be supplied by a young minister by the name of Newton, who is expected to preach his first sermon on Sabbath morning next, in the North Dennis 'church. The Phila. "Record" says the "Stockton Hotel, Capo May, has been thoroughly renovated and many improvements made, preparatory to opening that famous hostelry in two weeks." Can this be true, and our Cape May papers fail to make note of It 7 Tobacco can, without difficulty, he raised successfully in this county. Mr. Joseph Sutton of Tuekahoe, has proved the truth of this statement.- There may be others who raise small quantities, hut why not devote more ground and attention to Its cultivation 7 1238 is the amount realised from the estate of Ann Romans, recently settled up at^Voodstown, and yet this person'"

| iu«Maa« The N*u York parties who made an effort to purchase tho entire right of the ftre Grove Association at Cape May I oint, have abandoned the prqject on account of the enormous figures at which the property is held. Thus it seems thai beautiftil place is doomed to be but a mere tail-end of Gape May, with scarcely enough life infrmed into it to make the decent showing of a wag. Mr. Howard Smith, for many year* assistant to Chief Operator Burleigh in the W. J. Railroad office, Camden, has resigned that position and accepted a position more to his liking in the Western Union Telegraph Office at Tenth and Chestnut sta., Philadelphia. Mr. Barclay Moore who has been in the West Jersey Company's employ at Bridge ton, is to suooeed Mr. 8mith. The lines of the American Union Telegraph Co. will be extended to Oape May at an early day. It is rumored that Charlie Moore will be offered the position of chief operator at Ca|>e May City during the bathing season. This Company, not yet frilly organised for business, are hard pressed with work wherever they have instruments in position. It will prove a strong rival to the Western Union Company. There is a stammering fellow in this county who has suffered the consequences of oourting a girl in leap year. He hud been coming some time, and the lady thought it high time some definite terms had been arranged. So the other night she proposed to him, and being taken aback thereby he stuttered furiously, and before he could get out the word "xo" she had him around to the

ministers and the knot tied. He says he d-d-dont core a c-co-con-continental now. A singular disease is to some extent prevailing among the horses of this section. Conductor Mulliner's blacks, driven by David Rodan have been strangely affected between knee and fetlock . A valuable horse belonging to Rev. W. 8. Zone, Tuckahoe, was recently affected in a manner somewhat similar, at least the disease was in the limbs, subsequently, however, the disease went to its internal organs, and it died on Tuesday night. Dr. R. Marshall, of the same place has a horse also strangely hand led. TUCKAHOE*] ITEMS.The "blind rtian" held forth on Wednesday evening at the Town Hall. Lost Sabbath was quarterly meeting. In the afternoon the children hud a very pleasant service in the church. The tide has been very full all the post week, even to the ovor-flowing of the banks of the Tuckahoe river.

It is proposed to hold it on the last Wednesday evening in April. The Women's Christian Tortiperance prayer meeting was held on Wednesday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Hannah Champion. Like all of their meetings it was interesting and profitable- _ DBtTA. DENNIS VILLE ITEMS. We like the idea of aland association. With the natural fertilisers we have at our command, and a good market at home for a large part of the products, farming can without a doubt be made to pay. We can frilly endorse the common ication of "Suits' in your last issue, when he says, "Nowhere in New Jersey is the *oil better adapted for the production of grain thom in "Cane May county. W© think we are safe in saving that this <x>unty has raised more wiieat per acre than any other county in the State, vis: forty -two bushels to the acre. We hsve seen, in our own neighborhood, oats grow to the he -;hth of five feet, and corn fourteen fee: high. The course of lectures given In Young's Hall, by Dr. Putnam upon the subject of Anatomv, Physiology and Hynone, were very Instructive rts well as ntcfesting, and we nre glad to say were well attended. The lectures were llustrated with life rite models of the iUinan body, showing the position of he heart, lungs, stomach, liver and other organs : this together with the fact that the Dr. frilly understands when and liuw to amuse sn audience by in tor* per* , ing humor. Your oorrespondent had the pleasure of attending the whole course and can say without hesitancy c that it is seldom the privilege of people living in small towns to ei\joy such a treat. We hovtit to have the op|>ort unity of again listening to him before long, Dkxjus.

I I MILL VILLE' NOTES ! I i t : business ^ A very brevy thunder storm passed | over this section on Saturday night last. Millville oonsumes more peanuts per capita, than any other city in the state. A new millinery establishment is soon to be opened in Muifoid's block, on Main street Wo understand that the MiilviUe Mutual Marine and Fire Insurance Co. have obtained a judgement, against •heir late Chicago agent, t u the amount of 860^)00. * The people of MiUville were startled by an alarm of fire oo Saturday evening last. Cause: the spontaneous com bus tion of some cotton waste in the Bleachery. Damage slight. E. H. Sheldon has commenced tearing down his old shop on High street, prep- I •c°ry to patting up a handsome brick building. This will be a great and much needed improvement. The Juvenile Pinafore Club of this city are advertised to give a grand entertainment in Wilson's Hall on the evenings of the 9th and 10th, for the benefit of the Ariel Comet Band. The little folks do well, but we have our | doubts as to the benefits they will glean from these performances. It has already shown Its bad effects upon the minds of some of them by leadjng them to give up other things more useful. The stage is not considered the best possible school for "10 year olds," even by those who are theatre goers. A TWO-SKAT PHAETON
