Can you afford to be without insurance, when your property can be insured at so very low rate, in good reliable stock companies by applying to James L. Wilson, Esq., Millville? After the jlecoration ceremonies were over on Monday, some drunken rowdies, by their devilish antics, frightened a mule being driven by a woman, causing it to run away and break her wagon. It cost the unfortunate woman $4 to have the vehicle repaired; and yet these roughs go free. While in Millville on Thursday last, we stopped in at the old store of C. B. Conorer, and to,' it was empty and forlorn looking, but three doors farther down High 8troet we found him nicely squared away in his new store ; which by the way is one of the neatest in the city.

As the military from Cape May City were marching up Mechanic Street on Monday afternoon last, the horso of Mr. Warren Van Gilder, of Dennisville, became frightened at the music and started to run. In trying to control the animal Mr. V. was thrown from the carriage, his feet became entangled in the spokes, placing his body in a position parallel with the hub and carried around by two complete revolutions of the wheel. All this time he was holding on to the lines and as soon as he was able to free his body from the car riage he stopped the horse by sheer strength, and comparatively little damage was done to the carriage. Had the gentleman loet his pretence of mind and let go of the lines the probability is that other teams would have been frightened and much damage done. S-frfg-Si?

It appeared by the testimony that the dofoudant was owner of a small boat that carried passengers in the neighborhood of Atlantic City, and that the osptaiu of the boat had purchased of the plaintiff a new suit of sails for her, without the direction 0* knowledge of the owner. g-r 1 Action was brought against the owner far the prioe of these sails. The defense consisted of two proposi turns. First: That inasmuch as the boat was not registered — not coming under the registery law — the owner waa not liable for this act of the captain ; Second : That if liable the bill was exorbitant. The jury returned a verdict for $66.00, a little less than the full amount of the bill claimed. The Centennial Anniversary ofSunday Schools was held in the M. E. church on Sabbath evening last. The services at the Baptist church were adjourned and s**- - *" * a %b«*wStin& v^... shown by the marked attention of the large audience present. The opening prayer was made by Rov. Mr. Caul well. Mr. Randolph followed with a history of Sunday 8chools, their origin and success ; showing' that from one small school, gotten up by a few, the whole civilised world had been covered. Dr. 1. M. Downs, mentioned the improvements in S. S. methods as follows : 1st, in sucuring the attendance of children ; 2nd, the government of children — the rod being formerly used ; 3rd, in securing teachers — they were formerly paid ; 4th, the matter taught — spelling book and reader being used at one time ; and 5th, the methods of teaching. Dr. J. F. Learning, the next speaker, alluded to the great advantages enjoyed by tb« children of to-day ov«r thost of former times, and thought how much more desirable to live now than when Sunday schools were first organized! Rev. Mr. Provost followed with remarks upon the "Necessity of Sunday Schools said some children never got any religious training outside of the schools. The music was appropriate and the evening will lorig be remembered by those who were fortunate enough as to be present. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES. Early on Friday evening lost the people of the Court House began to assemble at the school house and soon every seat was filled with friends who came to witness the closing exercises of the school. The programme, as published in your last issue, was carried out with two additional recitations. It would be difficult to designate any part of the programme as being the best, because the whole of it was excellent and reflected credit on all who participated, and especially on our ablo teachers as we learn that only one-half a day of the regular school hours was appropriated to practicing. It is evident that the children of our district have made rapid advancement during the last school year. The essays read were especially brilliant and compared favorably with those read before the Literary Society during the winter. The music was very creditably rendered, and at the close of the exercises a resolution was offered by Dr. Learning, one of the trustees, thanking the principle and assistant teachers, for the faithful performance of their duties during*the school year, remarking that the percentage of attendance lind- been unprecedented which fact they considered as a reliable index of the success of the sch oil. Mr. Purdy for himself and on behalf of the assistant teachers made an appropriate reply to the resolution in which he passed a very neat compliment upon the children, saying "That it had never been his good fortune to meet such a well bred and polite sot of children, which undoubtedly redacted £fcat credit upon the parents.11 The audience then dispersed, expressing themselves well pleased with the Jhtertainment.

AGRICULTURAL. COVDUCTKD BY "iXDEX. The vast destruction, by fire, of the timber lands of South Jersey during the past few months, is suggestive of serious and perhaps valuable consideration as to the future of those lands. In years gone by they were considered a paying investment in consequence of the great demand for wood, but since the introduction of coal as a fuel it has reduced the market price of wood until it has but little cash value. The question which naturally prevents itself at ihia time is, what is to be done with our burned woodland? It will take 25 years, without another sweeping fire, to get a growth of timber upon them that will be fit for market, and the prospect now is that there will be no demand for wood by that time. Then the taxes are to be paid, and taking all things into consideration we honestly think it would be better for tho owner* to give these lands to actual settlers than to have them on thoir hands. The prices asked have been so high that they were out of the reach of those industrious young men who may have wished to buy 4 few acres at a reasonable price, and by their industry make for themselves a small farm ami comfortable home. Taking the climate, soil, and facilities for anriching, its proximity to the two best markets of America, and other fea turea there is no spot in the Union that affords such opportunity to the young men as do the wild land* of Cape May. We are glad to notice that some of our hoya bare already taken up the ax and grubbing hoe, and commenced clearingup land, and predict thai we shall ooon *oe them in pnsseasion good farms and

The average country school-house lot is about the most desolate spot in the whole town— as much worse than a aheap pasture as that is less neglected than the old cemeteries. A tingle dayt's work a few rears ago, by half % dozen of the men in the district, followed up by a few hours only of the supervision and cere that they give to their bem-yardsjWould - prate fp! iala»Our older country villages often need tree-trimming societies more than treeplanting ones. The plan tine of thirty or fiftv years ago was too thick, and the branches grow too low, to get a symme trical growth ; and thinning out and trimming up is the work most neglected. But on many now streets a little forethought and organised effort would often secure elm-, ashes, bass-woods, walnuts, or even tulip trees, in place ot the uniform and easily-got maples. Most men select a tree with less thought than they give to their cabbage- plan tt. It is one of those growths thai should be viewed with "the mind's eye." A tree is a thing of a hundred years, and should not be ruthlessly cut down nor thoughtlessly planted. Along the public highways evejywbere there is still ample field for public spirit and private enterprise to exert itself in tree-planting.

There is no rssaon w"hy the space each siOe narrow wagon track in our four-rod country roads should not be both utilized and beautified.

A rural neighborhood where all the farm-houses are neat, the fences in good order, and the roads bordered with trees, gains a reputation for thrift and beauty that adds to the value of the farms many times the cost • of the improvements. And as it is the things that have no market value that really "pay" best in this world, the pleasure of living in such a neighborhood is chiefest among the compensa- i tions. For it is as true of a tree as of a woman, or a work of art, that "beauty is its own excuse for being."— Golden Kile. ' LOOK? Dry Goods. Dry Goods. Be sure you are right and then go ahead.
