"Garfield" i* the name of a new nun ing town in Colorado. The vote stood fifty -eight to eleven ae between the nam en of Garfield and Junotion city* In reply to a correspondent we an*wei that Gen. Hancock ia a grandaou of the John Hancock who aigued the Declaration of Independence. He u fifty-six yeara old. The owner of that wooly horse which is seen upon our streets, perhaps is not aware that in working the animal in its preaent condition he is liable to a heavy fine or im prison men t. "A word to the wise," ate. ■ i U i Aooording to the report of the chief of police the number of grog ahopa in Camden has been reduced 30 in the past two months. This is a good showing and the city will be thousands of dollars better off'. The guagc of the New York, Pennsylvania A Ohio railroad, for 225 miles, and of the Erie, from Hornellsville to Dun kirk, was changed from broad to standard on Tuesday week. The work on the former road was completed in 6} hours by 2500 men. The "Ocean Democrat" comes to us regularly now, and a welcome visitor it is too. It is published at Tom's River, by Win. A. Gwynne, formerly of the Millville "Herald." He is strong for0 Hancock, and makes a good organ for the party. Success to you Bro. G. Salt river has no terrors for General Hancock. If he should be compelled lo march in that direction he will take a pontoon train along, and, if necessary, a train of water-carts to supply fresh

water to float the pontoons. That is the kind of strategist he is said to be. The steamer Anthracite, the smallest steamer that ever crossed the ocean, arrived at New York, lately. * The cost of the voyage from England was only two cents a mile. The vessel, it is claimed, behaved well all the way. She is equipped with a new system of propellers, and took 26 days to come overThe crop prospects of the country are remarkably good, and indicate that our national harvest of breadstuff* will be greater even than it was last year. At the some time, Europe is likely to have an abundant yield, so that the export demand will fall ofT considerably and may leave us with an unpleasantly large surplus on hand. We have received a neat circular from Kitely k Dawson, Insurance, Kcal Estate, and Uollecting Brokers, of Atlantic City. Mr. Dawson is an old und esteemed friend of ours and we can reccommend him, to the business men of Atlantic City, as a first rate business inan and one who will be true to the interests of those who place their business in his hands. It should ho a clean campaign, with the candidates as they are. Mud throwing is not political argument, and does much less than it once did to make votes. Let the two parties go before the people on their record and their promises, with the standard-hearers they have chosen. The people can be trusted to decide as to which they will invite to assume control of the government One of the lessons forcibly taught by the recent steamboat disasters is that it pays to be a good trimmer. Many lives hnva been saved of late by the ability to keep comfortably afloat in the water until help arrived. Parents should see to it that not only their sons, but their daughters as well, become skillful swimmers. With a fair opportunity tlio accomplishment is easily and quickly acquired and there may come a tiino when its possession will save precious lives. i s i This is ay ear when such terms as political nondescript, turn-cost, backslider, •to., will be applied to many good men. The following definitions, which are not from Webster, will Apply to all these uncomplimentary titles r Turn coat a man who quit* our side and gpet over to the other fellows. Wise and sagacious changer of bis opinion.~»A man who leaves the other fellows am! oomea over to our side. Cut these definitions out and put them In your vest pocket. They will ha needed before the campaign is over.— -VuviLAirn IxnarxxntxT. Rev. William Arthur^ the father of the Republican candidate for vfoe-presi dent, published In 1857 a dictionary on

ike derivation and meaning of numee. m Usees thsjieme GariWld to the German and Dutfib "Gar," dressed, done, ready, prepared, and "field,* a place where everything is ftirolshed necessary for an army. Arthur means a strong man, coming from "ar," a man, and uthor," strong. The Arthur name used to have a "Mac" prettied, the family tracing it* ante* try back to a ttcqfok clan of Mac Arthurs located on Loch Lotnond. * A grand good work is now being done in Philadelphia by the establishment of an ice water fountain, placed in Independence Hquare, by the Temperance Union of that city. It has about a dox va cups attached, and the tanks, made for the purpose, are kept constantly filled with ice thus making the water cold aud inviting to the weary passerby. Thousand* of drinks are taken from it every day, and we have seen at least 100 standing by, waiting for a chance to drink. The saloon business in t^e neighborhood has been very much iigured thereby as hundreds of those who drink from this temperance fountaiu would otherwise driuk lager bear. In erecting this good work the Union made an excellent move, for it is almost useless to persuade men to stop the use of strong drink until something is provided to take its place. • w • The Gazettk office 1* prepared to do, and does do a* good work as any country office in this section, and we think we have just cause to feel aggrieved when a citizen of this town, having occasion to have printing done, given us "the go-by" and takes his work to out-of-town offices ; and that when we could have done the job at a* low a rate and in as short time a* it was done out of town, besides saving the citizen the express charges. If the Gazktte is sustained by the patronage of the people who should patronize it, there will, in all probability, be no trouble about its continuance ; but if men who live here, do business here, and get the benefits of town Improvements, are going out of town when they want work done the sooner we know it the better. It would be nonsense for us to say "we don't care," for nothing could be farther from the truth. We do care ; we wojrt work, we xkbd work, and we feel that

it is but just that those in this town who hare need of printing ; should give us a trial. We find the following article in the Philadelphia "Times," and as it has a Wring in the present ciu*e of the Millville Insurance Co., we present it to our readers: Insurance people arc beginning to wake up to a realising sense of the fact that to turn an actually or technically insolvent company over into the hands of a receiver is not a good thing for the company and is a very bad thing for the insured. Were the stockholders and the policy holders given an opportunity to look into the company's affairs and, after such an investigation, permitted to decide what the receiver should do in the premises, then the appointment of a receiver would not necessarily involve a financial collapse. But under the existing system there is very little opportunity offered for stopping the matter in transit, and after the receivership fairly is accomplished there is no opportunity for saving anything but scraps from the inevitable wreck. The difference between the receiver appointed to tako charge of a railway comparand the receiver appointed to take chargo^of an insurance company is that in the one case the road is operated and its affairs arc managed in the interest of its creditors ; while in the other case all the energies of the receivor are directed to winding up the com puny 's affairs and having done with it — to the prejudice of all interests involved, 1 e i The public are rapidly realizing the necessitv of a change of abode in summer, to maintain health and prolong life to a vigorous old age, a* well as to recreate and unbend both body and mind from the daily routine of business or professional life. ( In this country, a summer home comI bining the advantages of accessibility, | health fulness, natural beauty and social I life, at moderate cost, has become a desideratuip *, and this want is met fully at t 'ape May Point, Surrounded on three aides by salt water, the breezes from all points of the compass come directly from the Ocean or Bay, laden with nil the virtues which give tone and vigor to body and mind. The records of the U. 8. Signal Sorvice show, that (Ypc May Point has the greatest volume of wind, and the least moisture in the atmosphere, of any point on the Atlantic const ; nnd the changes in temperature are neither so frequent, nor so extreme, as at other place*, so that In summer it is cooler, and in winter warmer, than resorts frtrthcr north. Ample hnth -houses are provided, built In a way to be an attractive feature on the shore, with pavilion* on top, whore the sea-hrecse nan be fully ftigoyed, out of the tun, and with a frill riew I I

}'<&' «°~J. "" JJ" The oust of living W moderate cam pared with oilier tea-side reaosfi, and uan be maintained at the ramq, or at loss coat than a residence at home. The natural advantages possessed by this resort are hacked up by one of the very beet kept hotels along the whole Atlantic onset. We refer to the Grove j House, kept by our genial friend M.j John A- Hicks, assisted by hi* acoom piiahed lady. The lioase was never before so full at this early date as it is ai the present time, and we are sure a bet- , tar class of society will not be found anywhere. Among the recent arrivals are Bishop Pennick of W. Africa, W. V. Mo Kesri of the Philadelphia "Lodger/' Thoa. McKeller of the firm of McKeller, Smiths, Jordan, Gen. Provost, F. M. Lewis, Hon. W. 8. Ktenger, GoL Fitzgerald H.J. Hatwell, Hon.Thos. EwingM.C. and family. Mr. E. G. Kemble is cashier and attend* to hi* duties with a pleasant word for all j he is a great fa-, vorite with the ladies. A grand hop was given on Saturday evening last, the music for which was furnished by the colebrated Hasfeld Orchestra which is located at the 8ea Grove House for the season. The "Bella of the Point" is Miss Maude Fitzgerald, of Philadelphia, and it was remarked at ' the hop that her dancing was unusually graceful and pretty. The table is well supplied with all the requisites of a good meal. All readers of the Gazette who contemplate spending a week or even a day at the shore can not do better than to register with Migor Hicks. To the' people of South Jersey particularly is this a desirable resort as the expenses of transportation are light and the accommodation * us good as those of the resorts at a distance of from 50 to 100 miles. TEACHERS* ASSOCIATION. The "State Teacher*' Association" which convened at Long Branch uii .July Cth and 7th, proved to be very entertaining, instructive, and profitable : and if no other way remunerative, the meeting and congratulations of fellow laborer* with words of cheer and encouragement with the unanimous exultation* over the position our "little State" is taking in the educational world would cause one to feci aigply repaid. The programme was strictly carried out and to make note of a few, one

would seem partial, while all requires time and space ; the absence of Rev. JL Collyer caused by the death of a dear friend was deeply regretted. Prof. Green of Ix>ng Branch, Pres. elect for 1881' who heartily welcomed the friend* to the "City by the Sea," re? grctted that numerous pleasure seeker* had in a measure interfered with the anticipated happiness and comfort offered ; this however was promptly secured through the kindness and hospitality of the citizen* of which mention was made in reply to the Prof., by the next speaker, who added that the teachers' cause was second to none and if they do not have the respect, esteem and command the position merits the fault is their own j a higher compensation awaits them than thttt of dolUrs and ocuts, the elevating of our children, our i>eople and our country. Pres. Taylor in his address stated that better system was needed in the work ; better work should be demanded of the schools j the change of teachers less frequent ; inconsistent teachers should be avoided ]>articularly those who make this profession a short stepping stone for another vocation — but let the future teacher* be from the Normal School*, not only well educated but trained to teach and impart ; and let the essays of these graduates bo practical with reference to the pre]>aration made for the Bpeciul work, not a flowery composition. Prof. Martin was well appreciated and proved himself *o enthusiastic on "the giowth of our country as Affected by our Theory of Public Education" as to lay aside his manuscript and give an eloquent discourse, showing how the "Jersey City High School" so strongly anathematized, had struggled on and proved itself victorious and by its work to l»o a monument to the city and state. Dr. 1*imbart .of N. Y. caused a merriment throughout tho audience by hi* jovial talk, the good old Dr. differing from tho "master*" of yore who thought smiles out of place in the sehoobroom, allowed "to laugh and grow fat" would do them good, if hi* remark* wore unprofitable, he called to mind the Institutes of former days, as being sort of missionary meeting* supported by two or three book publishers who would feast on their profits till the next year. The hints given on tho oombination of figuro* and their unchanging name* in all positions were plain and sensible and would save the youth many perplexities and troubles, hut like tho Spelling Reform and Metric system will have to bids time for oommon use. The question "How should language he taught in our schools" was given to W. N. Baningor, who, in a few words told all— by tsixtf it, constantly and CORRtCTLY, train the teachers long and faithfully, teach the teacher then the pupil, have the teachers what you wish

fuur toyw to become, mite it* u-a< hers t*lk trita, to tl* ptfalfc allow no incorrect expresaieu* to |*a unnoticed, lei all r* ttaifoi* receive | careful attention ; the CauiU of three or i our hours are not eaaily overcome in ' one. lion. E. A. Apgar during hia remark* ! made some at*toiu<fjU in regard to the I Technical Kchools of Boston and Worcester, Mass., strongly advocating the organisation of industrial frohnnls in this State a* provided for by tht legis , latum. Mr. Marshall, who is an independent L Linker on the subject of penmanship— made suggestions in regard to teaching it which were so plain, that any youth ■>ld enough to be instructed in that branch, oould comprehend and use them always retaining the few ideas with little tax on the memory. The Convention will be held at Long Branch next year when it is hoped South Jersey and partioulary this county may be better represented ; it is active in the work, why not let It be known, and recognized yitli others of our Slate, some of which are inferior ? nn# ATLANTIC CITY LETTER. Atlantic Cirr, July 10th, 1880. Every rose must have its thorn ; this wc all know through hard experience. Even the Island of Maderia, so celebrated for its equability of climate, is found I to be uncomfortably warm at times, and this rather more convenient haven of health from which I write, must of course, now and then, wear the thorn too, as it car u inly does to day, with the mercury at 94° at 10 A. M., and with a hot wind from inland burning us almost to death. But it is witlial a great place, and we live in hope, for the sea breeze is sure to come ere long. What a mge the Jersey count r eaort is becoming. It will certainly not be many years befor* every available spot along its border* will be appropriated ; and if we can judge from the experience of a decade at Atbury Park, where property lias increased 1000 per cent, in /hat time, we should say to all speculator* in Oape May Cbunty and vicinity ; go and *ee for youmelf the beaches now being improved between Atlantic City and the Cape, and invest at once. The new route hither by the West .Jersey road is a success, and is much

the prettiest as far as scenery is concerned. A double track to Newfield is what is needed, however, to insure safety and rapid time. Fishing here is excellent, though fishsra are, I think, in as large a proportion to the susceptible fish, as are the eyeglass men and harper* on the rfracb. to the visitora of this place. But the cry is still the same, 1 suppose, as that of the contempUtor* of a fourth road hither. "There is plenty of work for all." C. L Jt an. SEAVILL E AND VICINITY. Our farmers are shipping early vegetables to Atlantic City. Robt. Willets is contemplating building a new residence at Seaville. Drs. Way and Gaudy passed the examination before the State Board of Pharmacy last week. Lincoln VanGilder has gone to Cape May ; he will occupy the position of engineer at Congress Hall. Dayton Corson, of Petersburg!!, out his foot by jumping on a scythe; the wound was an extensive one, but it i* doing well under the care of Dr. Jos. Marshall. Wedding at Palermo: on Wednesday. July 7th, by Rev. Jas. Van Zandt, Richard B. Stites to Mi** Bern ice Gorton. About one hundred guest* were preaent. The happy pair received many vuluable presents, the enumeration of which would occupy too much of your valuable space. X. A FOOLISH FEAT. An Italian, who professed to be one of the greatest swimmers in the world, appeared in Hammonton, this county, a few days ago, and boasted considerably. He seemed to think nothing of a mile or two of water, and said he had often swam for hours at a time before touching terra firma. He was teased by some of the young men of the place, who told him they doubted if he could swim across the little lake at Hammonton. The son of Italy became very in-> dignant at such a suggestion, and assorted that he could swim from one side to the other under water. He was laughs ed at for his boast and his indignation became greater than ever. He would show them what he could do. be said. If they would be at the lake that niglit i they would see that be would make good bis boost. Accordingly a large number of persons assembled nn Ttiur* day evening to witness the feat. The man nrepnrcd lor the swim and dived in. He did not reappear, as was expected, and it was thought by some that he wo* really accompli bine the feet. Some time passed and the watchers on the opposite shore nnnouueed that he had ; not come up *knd it l*eoam* apparent , that the swimmer had "sunk to rise no more."-- Atlantic Rmtw.
