The British Man -of- War, Flamingo, bas had a terrible encounter with an iceberg half a mile in length, and 250 fa«t above the surface ot the water or more than 100 feet above the tofj-maau of the ship. This was near St. Johns. A terrible collision occurred in Long j Itlaud Sound, on Friday night, between ; the 8teamers Narragnuaett and Stoning* ton. 35 or 40 live* were loet and one of the ateauien burned. The officer* jumped into the firat boat that was let dowq, and left the reat to take care of themselves Two American vessels have recently been fired upon by the Spanish. Sec. Evarts is looking into the matter and will deal promptly with it. It is time that our Government should see that our National Flag, shall not bo insulted by Spain, and though we do not need Cuba, we bod better take charge of the island and teach Spain a lesson to be remembered.

^ha Mmm s^0 • ^ '* York for several weeks have been discussing plans for avoiding the results of over-production. There are in tho United States nineteen refineries in active operation, with a capacity of about 7,000,000 pounds daily, while tho daily consumption does not exceed threefourths of this quantity. In dull seasons this excess of production is fatal to a profitable business, while its influence is ; felt even during the months of active demand. ' ■ ■ * ♦ * Yearly Meeting has come and gone, leaving pleasant thoughts and memories in the minds of those to whom this custom is so dear. There seems to bo a charm about these meetings for both old and young, and one who holds it with reverence said to us the other day "So long as time endures wc hope the Baptist church may exist and celebrate its anniversary.1* Wo are surprised to find that there are some veuv peculiar people in this vicinity who would give a death-blow to this custom, but judging from the interest manifested on Saturday and Sunday last, their time is not yet come ; they will have to wait awhile before using murderous weapons against this friend of many. There is a matter which should claim the attention of every citizen of this po wn, and not only claim it but should receive it. We refer to tho almost impassable piece of public road between tho swamp al>ovo the court-house and the residence of Theodore Corson. It has been a disgrace to the township for years, and when work was begun upoi- it a few weeks ago we thought that now something would be done to better the condition of it. But we are sorry to say that it is in a worso condition now than ever before, and with no prospect of anything better before

us. The overseer whose duty it is to fix this piece of road says tho weather has been too dry, etc. Now this may look plausible enough at first glance, but if any one' will examine said road thoy will find that there is as much in the manner in which it was plowed as in the weathor. Few of the roads leading out of town are traveled more by foot passengers than this one, and it i* no more than right that these pedestrians should be supplied with some sort of a path, providing «>f courso that it can be done without infringing upon the roadway — but this was entirely ignored, and tho whole distance from field to field was plowed de*pf and perfectly level, and then loft unfinished. The soil is naturally light and full of a sort of clay which, when disturbed by the foot, rises in a cloud and covers the clothing of the pedestrian who is so unfortunate as to be obliged to cross thia spot. We hops tho matter will receive prompt action at the hands of the road overseer. and if it does not, thon the as those tax payers who live above us have a right to demand the evil remedied. a W » i an address, before a convention of * , ' Sunday School workera recently, Anthony Comstock brought to light some of the terrible results of the deadening literature which is now flooding the country. When we read them it made us shudder and hope that our own town and county at least were free frem them. The horrible foetid hat he ha* brought out by his seven years of labor prove aoesftrsivoly that no family or no community is secure against the inr< ids Qf

There are men— and women, too, we must bejhnre — who are so lest to every good trait of human ity, that they will adopt any nivans, however dishonorable, to secure u inai ket for these wares. School catalogues are freely used. Lists of names are collected In various ways, and are sold as merchandise to the dealer!, who send out cunningly worded advertisements, which attraet the youjfg people and finally lead them into buying the vile stuff. There is not a doubt that a portion of this kind of reading matter is in circulation at tho Court House to-day, and in all probability every town ii\ Cape May county, If searched would be found to contain some within its bord ers. What will you do about it, parents, teachers, friends of tho young T Open your eyes, afld sec what influences are at work about you, forming the char actors of those who are growing up to manhood and womanhood. .Throw i aside the false modesty which in so many | households stands in tbo way of frank. < free communion between parents and children. Talk seriously and plainly with those under your oarc, and find out all that you can about tho sort of reading they seek for. Banish from your hoxne all papers that are vicious in their tendency. Do what you con to put a stpp to the sale of vulgar and de basing literature of all kinds. # Take great and constant pains to interest tho young in tbut which is pure. Let good thoughts crowd out bad ones. Be watchful, and anxious, and fearless. There is something for every parent to do in this matter.

. 3Apoow. ^nd bn-»„ igg up of tho Diploma Mills or bogus doctor shops which have been defiantly plying their nefarious business for tinlast fifteen years or more, in the city of Brotherly I#ove, where for the paltry sutn of a few dollars — anywhere from five to three hundred — any ignoramus ! or scoundrel could get a diploma, which j would sevre as a passport to the sacred I confidence and privacy of many respectable families, to whom one diploma is as good as another, unless they are posted very fully in regard to medical schools. Tho worst counterfeit with which the world is afflicted is tho medical counterfeit, as he has in his keeping the lives of his patients. If any particular set of men should possess undoubted integrity and thorough consciousness it is the physicians of the land, who administer to thaso bodies of ours, "so Tearfully and wonderfully made." Two ministers were dealt with by the M. E. Conference only a few weeks since for crookedness in these institutions, and now through tho energy of a city paper these sinks of sin, five in number, have beon exposed ; the head of one of them, by name Buchanan, has been put under lock and key with $13,000 bail over his head. A recent wife murderer — Ooersen — procured his diploma there when but 1G years old. Another man purchased two diplomas for gn infant but two years old. So bold Iiks been this work that these ; diplomas liavo been used around the I polls to buy votes. Corruption worse \ corrupted 1 And not only this country ! but Europe is suffering from this system- ! atie license to murder. Some of our | Foreign Ministers have had complaints and have appealed to the Philadelphia authorities to stop this reproach upon the nation. Even tho sarcasm of the > theatres of England and Germany has

been directed to 4 'Sending to America for a Diploma." The newspaperman in this "Holy War," bought eight of the bogus diplomas for a sum of money, and unearthed much that was sickening and dtfcguating in connection with these outrageous sWIndles, Some others who nre coining money nt the expense of the lick and n filleted, just severed their connection with these charnel houses in Jim* to escape the punishment they so \ richly deserve. The N. Y. 'Timet* says of theso 'nests of criminals,' as it calls them : "Buchanan and his fellow -vampires | have gone on for years fostering quackery and fattening on its profits, all the advertising their sham medical colleges and sending their bogus diplomas into every State in the Union, and in Germany, England, France, Cuba, ilexieo, and South America. They have trafficked in human life, and the white head-stone! of thousands of graves are the record* of their business success." For the Gazette. AGRICULTURAL. conducted rt index.

The legislature should take the matter into consideration and make it a crime to kill bird* at any time. It has been several years since the army worm has been so numerous, and • the only way in which wc can account for their presence in such great numbers this year, is the terrible destruction of birds in our late timber conflagration.

w* 4 - Jfe ^ ^ . .. glad to find that some localities have not been visited by them. Sunflowers are recommended in tb«Dutches* Farmer for bean poles, planting them at suitable distances in the . garden, and sticking the beans around them when three or four inches high. They are said to keep out of the way ol the climbers, affording excellent support, and pay well for the fertility they take from the soil by bearing good seed for ]>oultry, leaves for forage, and stalks for fuel. Of the two latter advantages the writer soys: "Take those leave* off near tho stalk; they will not retard the growth, and cows will leave hav for them. I fed them to mine for four seasons. Some of the leaves are as large as a parasol. The flower may be cut off and hung up, the stalk* be allowed to Htand until the time to cla&r up ^ the land, then be chopped with tho brush for fuel." A writer in Scribncr's Magazine asserts that the farmer having the most sane and qatural occupation ought to find life pleasant. He alone, strictly -peaking has a homo. How can a man take and thrive without land 7 He writes his history upon his field. IIow many ties, how many resources he ha* : his friendship with cattle, his team, his clog, his trees ; the satisfaction in his growing crops, in his improved fields : his intimacy with nature, with bird and Ixjast and with the quickened elemental forces ; his co-operation with the clouds, sun, seasons, heat, wind, rain and frost. Nothing will take the various social dis- ( tempers which the city and artifiehd H life breeds, out of man like farminglike direct and loving contact with the soil. It draws out the poison. It humbles him, teaches him patience and reverence, and restores the proper tone to his system. Cling to the farm, make

much of it, put yourself into it, bestow your heart and vonr brain upon it, so that it should savor of you and radicstc j your virtue after your day's work is j done. • • - - (RKPORTKD FOR Tlir OAXETTB.] MILLV1LLE INSURANCE CO, At a meeting of tho stockholders of : the above company the following wus unanimously adopted; Resolved, That wo the stockholder of the Millville M.

The committee on reaching Trenton and meeting the Secretary of State held u long and free conference with hixn. | T hoy found him a frank , straight- forward business man ; evidently anxious to do equal justice to all. At the opening of the interview he was evidently strongly biased against • tho company and seemed determined to allow no delay. His view seemed to he that the policy holders (note-givers) would resist almost unanimously an assessment and that therefore it became ii- <•%•* u v for the State to step in with the strong hand and through a receiver make the asaesment und reinsure its annual business and wind up the company. Having ascertained his views the committee after stating the action of the meeting of the Millville policy holders, and presenting the resolution there J signed gave their views as follows : Fiut, That in assuming that the policy-holders wotd'1 ' •fer* V*

It Si" ^ made ; and that in rushing off to Tren- j ton and impressing on the Secretary of •State'* mind that the company was irre iricvably ruined, and must be slaughtered by the infliction of that terrible incubus a receiver without first asking the policy holders who bod the bills to pay what thct wished to do about it, sokebody had committed one of those blunders that are worse than crimes. Second* This committee comes here as the representative of several hundred thousands of dollars^of insurance, understanding clearly that no matter w hat has been the past of the company, wc the policy holders hAve the bills to pay und thai wc are liable for these bills to the last dollar ; aud we make the simple ursiNxas demand that we shall be allowed to do it in our own way, and with hands off from any receiver. Third, The committee insists th^t all claimants are amply protected by runpremium notes which you Mr. Secretary . and the highest legal authority in the State have declared collectable to the last dollar if necessary, and this being iho case we are the only parties needing protection ; and wo must earnestly de- ! cline any such protection. Fourth, We claim further that if a Receiver mcst be appointed, that the stockholders have a right to say who > that Receiver should be. Thet>e views being strongly pressed tho Secretary agreed to present to the j Chancellor his consent to the following I modification of the injunction : First, To allow a stay of proceedings, ! j in the matter of the Receivership to July the 6th. Socond, Authorizing the company to levy such assessment as may be needed and to reinsure the outstanding annual risks or any portion of them in such company or companies as may be satisfactory to the Secretary of State. f

These modification* were ordered by the Chancellor and the committee re- • | turned feeling that the danger of a Receiver had been averted, and tho way cleared for the equitable closing of the present company, and its future reorganization a* a strictly mutual home company on a conservative basis.
