ALFRED COOPER, Editou. SATURDAY, MAY 15TH., 1880.

Wr are indebted to Mr. Hicox, the short-hand reporter of the Vinetaad "Dally Tiroes/' for Ikvors received at hu Land*.

■ Ii.l , 1 ^ I Tt i> with regret that we announce the withdrawal of our esteemed friend. Dr. John Wiley, from the office of County Collector. The doctor ha* held this very responsible position for 15 year* and the reluctance of the Board of Freeholder* in letting him withdraw in an evidence of the high esteem in which he if held. of fV*»* to thu i The Executive Committee of the State Editorial Association hat decided tuut the summer excursion shall be to the White Mountains, at an expense of $22 a ticket. The excursion party will leave New York at 5 o'clock P. M. of Monday, June 28, by the Norwich line boat, taking the cars at New LoXdok, break Casting at Worcester, arriving at North Conway, N. II., in time for dinner, and reaching the Fabyan House, White Mountains, at 5 P. M., where they will remain until Friday noou. The tide of emigration frc-n *c~~- ♦*" > at L ever before at this season of the year. Sunday and Monday half a dosen European steamer* brouglit over three thousand emigrant passengers, most of whom are now on their way to the west, seeking new fields for settlement, work and enterprise. W hile this steady increase of European emigration is welcome to the government of those countries, which are relieved from the demands of an actually starving population, yet, it must afford material unpleasant reflection to thoughtful people who see their countrymen eximd to foreign lands, because the couhiry which gave them birth cannot support them. The present condition of the industrial classes in moat of the European states is such that thousands of them are glad to get away on any terms. Some of them are starving — all are which, and the support oT~ ilaSifing armies and compulsory military service, they are becoming a burden to themselves. Thus plundered and harrassed, they naturally cast a longing gluncc towards America — the land of plenty — where, by applying their energy and labor to a free soil, they can attain comfort, respect and prosperity. Imagine a country like Italy, whoso aggregate emigration for the past year is 140,000 inhabitants, who have left that "tanny clime" to improve their condition I 7 Such arf emigration docs not reflect credit U|K>n the rulers of a kingdom whose soil is sufficiently fertile and extensive to support a imputation twice as large** that which now exists upon it. A simitar state of affairs prevails in other European countries, where landlords and taxation to maintain large armies for the support of Imperialism, have reduced the people to pafnful destitution. The diffusion of intelligence about America, through the popular press,and from those who have found homes on our side of the ocean, has awakened a sentiment with the common people for that liberty and freedom so richly enjoyed by those of their countrymen who have found homes on American •oil, where they can provide abundantly for the wsnti of their children, and live in plenty and peace.

AGRICULTURAL.

COVDCCTKD ar "INDEX." A little more manure will give a large increase in our crops, with a trifling addition to tho expense. Htrict attention to farming, ta what makes the faim pay, and is oqually applicable to all branches of industry. If we wish to learn all about farming, let all the farmers give their experience in that line, through the columns of the Oasitti. We advise all farmers to give bedbugs and politics, as wide a berth as possible, for neither yield a paying investment. Don't whitewash your fruit trees. It cloaca the pores in tlie bark, which are essential to the healthiness of the trees. Lye from wood ashes, or strong soap ■•ids, is just as beneficial and not liable to the objection to whitewashing.

CHUHEN FREEHOLDERS.

The board of Chosen Freeholders for the county of Ope May, met at the Court House on Tuesday morning last, the 11th inst., for the purpose of settling up the aooounts of the pest Nearly the entire day was taken up with jessing bills and receiving report* from the various committees. The trustees of tho Alms House reported the average cost of pauper* to the county had been reduced about 33 cents from th * average of ta«t year, and that this " ~ • A management MI Mjefrveward, sat. woov^u I sard, with whom they were well pleased. Mr. Hteelman offered a resolution that the Treasurer appropriate a sufficient sum, from the money in hand, to meet the deficiency in the present appropriation. Adopted. Mr. Rice offered resolutions of thanks to the county Collector, Commissioner of Surplus Fund, Clerk, and Road Commissioner, all of which were adopted, as was a resolution of regret at parting with those members who retire. The report of the oommittee to examine accounts Af -w . - *" * " (V rtUv. that tt*» - , tement of ^ county be published in the Gaxxttx and after some remarks upon it, by different members of the board, it was adopted by a unanimous vote. A few matters of minor interest were considered and the board adjourned. wednbsdav morning. Met at 1 1 o'clock with all the members present. There are but two change* in the board, vix: Mr. Ilildreth and Mr. Wiley in the place of Hon. W. B. Miller, and Mr. 0« W. B tract. Mr. Corson was chosen Director with Mr. Rice as Vice Director. Mr. Seigman was appointed Clerk. The Salary of the County Collector was fixed at $250. A communication was received from Dr. John Wiley stating that he was not a candidate for re-election. The doctor has held this responsible office for 15 year* past and the board seemed loath to part with confer with him and ascertain whether lie could not be induced to accept. They reported that his declinature was positive. CapL David T. Smith was Anally chosen. Mr. l<ewi* Edwards of Dennisville wns elected Road Commissioner for the coming year. Dr. C. F. Learning having declined to again accept the office of Loan Commissioner, J. B. Huffman, Esq., was elected. The rule limiting the charge of physicians to one dollar per visit (to the alms house) was stricken from the books, but not without considerable argument. The salary of the solicitor was fixed at $45 per year, and J. B. Huffman re-elected. After fixing the bond of Loiui Commissioner at $5000, tho board adjourned for dinner, f afternoon session . Board met at quarter of two o'clock. The bonds of Capt. D. T. Smith were received and accepted. Mr. Huff of Upper Township appeared before the board and presented a claim for damage done to bis dam by building a public road upon tho same. It seems that the dam became too low for his cranberry bog and he raised it some inches expecting the county to j>ay for work

done because the road wafj a public one and not particularly wanted by liim. The matter was laid on tho table as it wan the opinion of the board that the township committee were the responsible partita, 7 be ftwik bridge, >» >b*V > part of Upper Township which was set off a few years since from Maurice River Township, Cumberland county, wa* next considered. It appeared that some time during April last the bridge and gates lit Mr. Durcll's cranberry bog were carried away, ami when the Freeholder* consulted Mr. Duroll about rebuilding the bridge be positively refused to bear any part of the expense. The road is one much traveled and a* no crossing can now be made, Mr. Nteclman urged the necessity of taking some definite action in the matter. After getting the opinion of their solicitor as to the responsibility, the board ordered that the members from Upper Township build, as soon as practicable, a new bridge that would serve to nccomddate the public without regard to any flood gates that might be needed for the benefit of the cranberry bog. The foundation for gates must be about twenty-two inches lower than would answer for a common bridge and all the county asked of the gentleman was that he pay the extra cost of putting the foundation in j which was the same required of him by the Freeholder* of , Cumberland county > j when the origins! bridge was built about

Numerous bill* were received, passed and paid. Mr. Ware called the attention of the board CO the dangerous condition of the Wood street bridge at Cape May city.

Will he kindly inform us where Ch« ashes came from that lie in the schoo' house grove, and how the trees, some of them in the grove, came to be soorched, and then what made it necessary for a gang of men to keep the budding wet if there was no danger, a* he intimate* ?

For an article written ere the excitement had died away, and before anything like a correct report from the different points could be gained, we consider it a quite truthful one. He will please observe, too, that Tuckahoe was designated by its proper name, in fact it is known by no other by the reading public. Atlas.

FIRE IN, VINELAND.

At twenty minutes of three o'clock, on Wednesday afternoon, an alarm of fire was given on tho streets of Vinetand and in a few minute** the Planing Mill of Hibbard brothers was one mass of fire. The Niagara boys were soon on the spot but their efforts to save the mill ware friiitUw. Tlv iKtt limff ♦!»« U^rl arrived the button shop of Mr. Jenkins was on fire and soon succumbed together with all the contents. Mr. Jenkins succeeded in getting muny of his tool* to the side walk but they took fire and were entirely destroyed after taken from the building. Next in the path of the flames was the old Tice livery stables, at present occupied by Mr. ilann,who bad a targe number of horses, carriages, and wagons in the building. Everything was saved but the building, and that was burned to the ground. The Chadwick house adjoining the stables was the next to catch fire. This house was occupied by Fred Near's family. They saved all their goods, but the building is now in ashes. All the houses in the immediate vicinity were in danger, as a heavy wind was blowing from the north-west, And large cinders were hurled for many squares, but tho neighboring houses were saved only by covering them with wet blankets and carpets. From the mill, sparks set fire to the sheds in the rear of Mechanics Block, but no damage was done owing to the prompt actions of Herbert Manning. About the same time fire was discovered in the rear of Harrison's dry and fancy

goods store and on the roof of Johnson's old photograph gallery, but was put under control without doing much damage. In the meantime, while tin* fire company were still doing good aturiiti w> V» n nA rtrert, where the fire, first originated, the alarm was again given and the crowd again made a rush* for Elmer street, pear Sixth, where A. S. Brown* new house was in flames. This building was occupied by J. T. Duncan, who had recently moved there. The goods were all saved, but the building sustained considerable damage — the roof being nearly all burned off. The firemen had no sooner got fairly to work on the above house, before the large barn and stable used by Henry Brown was on firo, and the flames shooting through the roof. Mr. Brown's horse was saved by Frank Wanser and another young man, who rushed iu and got the animal out after a hard struggle. The house adjoining the barn, owned and occupied by Mr., David Davis caught next, and was soon reduced to ashes. The goods from Mr. Andrew'* house had all been removed, for the house was in danger every minute of being burned, but was saved by the heroic aid of the men present. The Are bore took a long jump to the house near the comer of Grape and Eighth stteeta, occupied by l>avid Irish. The effects were saved and the Are extinguished with but small ; damage. This house is about Ave block*

I'll i jIiV» IkVAri ^ t ^ jv | three but wa* saved. HI* *h niugfti front of Mrs. Pafllfr's hoot and shoo store caught from Marks, ami was soon torn down. A woman who was ►landing at tut> mill when- th© tire originated, had her clothes torn from her to sat# her life, a spark having set them on fire. During the fire some one stole Mr. B. F. Bean's best suit of clothes, and all the bedding from a bed in the liottse which had not been disturbed. A great many thing* are still missing from other places, either mixed with somebody's good* or stolen. The ladies took an active part in staying the flames — forming a water line fur nearly a block, and passing pails from the the pump to I the fire. Firemen found a great deal of trouble in getting a good supply of water ; the pumps, wells, cisterns, Ac. /gave out long before the fire was under control. We visited the scene on Thursday and obtained the following list of the losses : Hibbard Bros, Planing Mill, $5,000. < H iii all insurance. •' w '* Chadwick property, $800. Insured for $600.
