Hoi noons. Cool evenings. Cape May Point. Read that Snake Story. Pleasure seekers in town. Our jail is again occupied. Where are you going to celebrate 7 All boys should be taught to swim ; girls too for that matter. Second thoughts are best. It is not the same with mortgages. Now get ready to celebrate the anniversary of the Nation's freedom. The manufacture of grape bags is becoming quite an industry in Vineland. There may be luck in a horse-shoe ; but ain't there just as much in the footcovering of a mule 7 a pound of energy with an ounce of talent will achieve greater results than a pound of talent with an ounce of energy. Hon. wm. j. Sewell has been afflicted for a week or two with a painful and serious cancerous tumor on his hand. After the Fifth of July celebration, prepare for the excitement of political clubs, with music, banners, torches, and so-fbrth. No matter what the temperature on Sunday you will find it as cool and comfortable in church as anywhere else. Don't fail to attend. The monotony of life is occasionally broken by the sweet [t] strains of a hand organ. Such was the case here on Friday afternoon last. No premium notes taken, or assessments made in any of the old reliable Insurance Companies, represented by James l. Wilson, of Millville. It is stated that Mr. Cooper has 1500 acres of land near Tuokahoe, which was burned over by the forest fires, and which be now offers at 25 cents per acre. — Exchange. Mr. Franklin Hand advertises in this issue that he has some Pure Fish Ouano for sale. Mr. Hand understands that a judicious use of printer's ink pays. The "Hornet" says Hammonton's Young Men's Donkey Club is in a flour ishlng condition. The Club holds meet ing every 8unday evening in front of the chnrches. Other towns are afflicted in the same way. James l. Wilson, of Millville, represents the oldest insurance company in the United States. The Insurance com pany of North America was incorporated in the year 1794, and now has six mil lions of dollars, in cash, to pay losses. a pleasant little party of five visited nl mile beach and took a surf bath on m onday evening last.

The progress of Angioma has been but alow in the past few weeks, and we began to think it had already seen its best days : now they tell us it is to re ceiveanew impetus, and shoot right ahead. Well we hope so, but — . Our dtisens have beep entertained this week by the wonderful experiments of a man with a patent safety valve for coal-oil lamps. Judging from what little we have examined it, we should say every family in town should have them put on their lamps. Two men, by name Halberner and Hoffman, were arrested on Thursday in Lower Township and taken before Justice Dare, at Seaville, charged with fish ing in Souucjs with seine. They were fined $20 and costs and committed to jail in default of payment. It is said there will be more arrested next week. 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 7 On Tuesday last the damage done to Mrs. Jacob Gaudy's wagon on May 29th, by some drunken roughs frightening her mule, and amounting to 98, wus *a*4 th*— v * w w Afor the a party of 15 wore conveyed to the shell-bed landing, by Master Harry Bennett, on Monday evening last for the purpose oT taking a bath. On the way home some excellent music was rendered by the singers pf the party. a gentleman lately arrived from western Kansas, reports a drouth there for the last six months, and that the people are abandoning that section for

Iowa, Missouri, end farther west, while many are returning to their eastern homes. Green peas and string beans have apparently been an unusually profitable crop so far this season. They have been held right along, with but slight variation, at a pretty high figure, averaging from fifteen to twenty cents the half peek. James L. Wiison, of Millville, Was in town on Friday, upon insurance business. He represents first class insurance companies none of which make assessments ; any one in this county desiring to insure can get rates etc. by calling at this office. Capt. Griffin Gondy is now at work on a handsome yacht for parties in Phila. She is 14 feet keel, 7 feet beam, 28 inches in depth, and when finished will be a credit alike to her builder and her owner. The Captain expects to enter her for the race of the 3rd of July. Our young friend Fred Bennett, is the happy owner of the new yacht, 14 Wave." He intended to launch on Wednesday last but while on the road to the landing the mast caught in the telegraph wire and ityured the boat to some extent. We hope the damage was slight however. The monthly Sunday School meeting at the Asbury M. E. church, Townsend's Inlet, was well attended on Sunday evening last. The exercises consisted of responsive reading of the scriptures, music, and recitations. Miss Mat tie Swain presided at tha organ in a very acceptable manner. Farmers and others should know that they violate the law when they hitch their horses to shade trees. Some people bsve lately been hitching to the trees on ohuroh property and in front of unoccupied houses that their horses might have the benefit of the shade. This practice should be stopped. Any citisen noticing horses hitched in this manner should complain to the authorities. A glass of whiskey sells for a dime and is drank in a minute. It fires the brain, and deranges and weakens the physical system. On the same table lies a newspaper. It is covered with half a million type j it brings intelligence from the four quarters of the globe. The newspaper ooste 1cm than half the glass of grog ; but it is none the less trje that (here is a large number of people who think whiskey cheap and newspapers dear. Master Lew Wheaton, son of the worthy landlord of the Hereford House, met with a painful, though not serious, accident on Monday evening. While in the act of stooping down to pick up something a companion ran up behind him and in trying to jump ovor his back, ss is done in the game of leap frog, threw him violently upon the ground hurting bit bead and scraping the skin

E. Lyons. There are times when it becomes the duty of all who have dumb animals in their care, to see to it that they do not suffer for water. If horses could speak, we should hear from them very frequent, earnest and piteous appeal* for a drink of water. Many of the owners allow these poor animals to go without water from five in the morning until noon. — Their suffering must at all times be very great, and failing to alleviate them when the means are within easy reaoh, is simply shameless cruelty. It is considered just "the thing" for a gentleman to be able to lift his hat graoefully as a salutation to a lady or another gentleman, but it would puzzle almost any one to give a satisfactory reason why so much exertion should be enacted when the oeremony of street aalutatjon could be effected just as well in some other but less formal way.

Stat ion -master Buck at Woodbine is very obliging and always ready to attend to the wants of the Railroad's patrons. The committee having the arrangements for the celebration of our National birth -day in hand have decided to holdforth in the beautiful grove in South Dennis, instead of the grove in the rear of the Gatzmer House, as first announced. It is the general opinion of the hearers of the Rev. J. W. Taylor, pastor of the Seaville and Dennisville Baptist churches, that his sermons are excellent; full of wise counsel, deep piety, sound doctrine, and eloquently delivered. With an earnest and united church with him, a largo ingathering of precious souls may be expected. Your correspondent paid a visit to Woodstown — the home of boyhood — last week and was pleased to find the same spirit of enterprise and thrift, that characterised that beautiful town in former days, still exist j most every one seems bent on making some improvement each year, in beautifying their i homes and business places. Among the most enterprising merchants are K. B. Humphries k 06., who have one of the largest and best stocked stores in West Jersey ; Lippincott A Hollinshead, Joseph turner, and Nathan Thorn, all first-class business men, Mr. John Turner ha* a large and handsome undertaking and fUmiture store wjth residence connected, and is a very enterprising young man who justly merits his lsrge and growing trade. We found D. C. Whita at the Post Office building, where ha commenced business as a watchmaker and Jeweler soma si* years

side the Post Office Mr Mark Ay an. if very efficient in his business as a car riage builder - It made our visit doubly pleasant to find so many of our old school-mate* likely located in business. Drssis DY£B'8 CREEK ITEM. High water morning and evening ; now is the time for bathing. The oelebration of the Fourth of July at Pierce's Point will be on the third as the fourth oomes on Sunday. The corn fields present a beautiful ap pearanoe and bid fair for a good crop. Mr. Wm. Erriceon is preparing to go to Gape May City for the purpose of driving a hack. Thtre is only one vacant bouse in this r.eighborhood. This surely speaks well for any place. There are more than twenty -five medical doctors in this county. Why will ye die? The schooner E. l. Morris is in the dry dock* receiving long needed repairs, and a fresh coat of paint. Mr. Geo. 8ohellinger has been con fined to his bed for several weeks, suf fering greatly from erysipelas. He is now considered out of danger and has a good prospect of a quick restoration to health. r * t1 _ ^ {p ~ a. j*. .Douglas*. Mr. Douglass has taken possession of the house and ex pect* to make it his permanent residence. Fish are scarce. The seines from fifty to one hundred and thirty fathoms long sweep the flats from tide to tide, and often fail to get enough to supply home consumption. Occasionally however, they catch from fifty to five hundred pounds, according to the length of the

seine used. Do*. GOSHEN ITEMS. The Gazette is getting to be quite a favorite in our family circles. Mrs. Thomas Chester has returned home after having been absent several days, visiting friends at Tuckahoe. The Goshen m. e. Parsonage has been remodeled and fixed up in good style, at a cost of three hundred and sixty dollars. With its fine dress of paints it presents quite a stylish appearance. Our Pastor has now moved into his new home and is prepared to enter upon hit pastoral duties more fully. The Goahcn Mite society is still marching on, collecting a fund for church purposes, and giving at each of its regular meetings, a varied literary entertainment, consisting of the reading of the Mite, (a paper edited by members of society) original essays, select readings, declamations, music, etc. SEAVILLE AND VICINITY. — Blue-fish are biting. — More weddings next month. — Beesley's point "celebrates" by a boat-raoe. — Fatal accident at Ocean City last week ; a boy killed by being run over by a loaded cart. — Chae.

X. MILLVII.LE NOTES. Wo are sorry to hear that our estimable friend W. H. Wills is still confinod to thg house. Mr*. R. M. Atwatcr is lying very ill at the residence of her husband on Columbia Avenue. Raspberries and Whortleberries are quite plenty, and we shafl proluibly have l*wton black barrios next week. Lucius E.

Mr. Joseph Dawson, the manager o the butchering department of WbiUll Tatum k Co., met with a painful aad dent on Tuesday. He was in the act of dressing a large beef when some part of the lifting apparatus broke, letting the beef Call upon him. He is pretty badly bruised, but il is fortunate that the result was no worse. State News. Rev. George K. Morris, of VineUnd, will speak on the 6th of July at Oeean (hove. • The assessors are now on their annual rounds, and after them will come the collectors — both necessary evils. Ocean Grove's authorities propose to regulate bathing dresses this year in the interest of decency. The flint glass bloweraof Philadelphia [ will make an excursion to Atlantic City | on the 7th of July. a party of Millvillians is preparing j for a trip to Richmond, vg., and other ! 1 | , v a«'; * Over three hundred eu** . children about Vineland find employ- i ment picking huckleberries. They can make about 91-00 to 91.25 per day. | The Young Men's Christian Asaocia lion of Camden will go on an excursion to Atlantic City, over the new rpad an Tuesday, July 6th. East Point light bouse will probably be removed to the south side of the large oyster bed, in the wake of the Mauriee river, and the fixed white light changed to a flash red light.

The Register says that grass sales in the vicinity of Woodstown do not indicate that the crop is very short. James C. Pan coast sold sixteen acres last Wednesday, at an average price of 922 per acre, the highest prioe fbr single acre ] being 937.50. Including two acres sold at private sals, hit aigkteen seres brought 9335.00. The last Legislature of New Jersey amended the game law relative to woodcock by making the season close 8ept. 1, | instead of July 4th, as formerly. This change is made to give the birds a chance to increase in size as they are not always grown by the 4th of July. This law the Bergen county Association • for the protection of Game and Fish is j determined to see enforced. It will also enforce the law passed at the late session, making it unlawful to shoot gray or black squirrels before September let. TAKING THE LEAD. The Methodist church of the United States at its last General Conference put j itself so squarely upon positive and aggressive temperance ground as to command the attention of all temperance people in frank acknowledgement of its new departure. It was not simply a string of flippant resolutions, high , sounding and practically meaningless, of which we wish to speak, but a lino of action that can but bear fruit in the future conduct of this growing and influential branch of the Christian church. The Conference in question incorporated into the general book of discipline of the church, a chapter on temperance which is at once vitAl and affirmative in its character. It declares total absti nonce to be a Christian duty, devolving upon all profeaear* of religion, %nd «• j peeiallv obligatory upon the members of the Methodist church. Further it is held that legal prohibition of the liquor traffic is in accordance with the prin ciples of good government, and a measure for which all right minded citizen* I can conscientiously work and vote. Hereafter the fashionable guzzler need not seek to be clothed with a cloak of responsibility in the Methodist church, for before and around him will rest this clause of the law and the teatimoni from the book of discipline. It will not be politic or consistent hereafter for members of this cliureh to sign license appHrwttom, or wink at the wholesale or retail business of tly> liquor traffic. This new chapter in the discipline if rigorously enforced can be of lasting l*enefit to the cause of temperance, and will mightily aid the moral force of communities. The Methodists have j done themselves credit in thus putting themselves on record in regard to thi> j all important question, and deserve i hereafter to be known as the eokl water i church. We await a like action on the part of other ecclesiastical bodies.— J Visit a»r lndefswdtbt c 1
