Over 700 premiums offered. The heat of the past week has been oppressive and while the mercury has kept within a very reasonable range, the close and foggy atmosphere attending "dog days" has made the week the most uncomfortable of the season. Mr. Daniel Riggs, of Philadelphia, together with his wife and two daughters have been staying at the residence of our neighbor John Steel. Mr. r. returned to Phila. on Tuesday and the daughters expect to return to-day. The owner of that living curiosity, the "wooly horse," has humanely sheared a larce r>art of the "wool" oft' the

much improved in appearance, he certainly must be more comfortable these hot days. Mr. Smith Hand advertises in this issue that he has some fine shoes for sale at a low figure. Those merchants who are not afraid to tell the people what they have for sale, through the columns of their local paper, should receive the public patronage. Major Hicks, proprietor of the Sea Grove House at Capo May Point, has hut won for himself laurels which can not benefit him in future enterprises. He has made the Point a lively place and we sincerely hope he will return next season to reap the harvest he has sown. On Friday last W. 8. Hand and S.

For several mornings past our enrs havo been greeted with the sweet strains of childish voices, singing some of the gospel hymns, hut we could not discover their whereabouts until yesterday morning we spied a trio of little girls perched aloft in the steeple of the old court* house. We learned afterward that they were boarding at the Hereford House. Dark and threatening clouds rolled up in the north-east about five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, and the chances for a destructive gale if not of a t hunder storm, were favorable ; ao general waa this impression that all who could possibly do so, made shelter promptly. But the rain came very gently and the fears of wind proved to bd groundless. The enterprise of Mr. J. H. Reneiet is being duly appreciated. He has made another grand mark-down in i house keeping joods, and is continually

John and George Cresse, former citizens of this place, but for the past forty years residents of Illinois, are visiting their relatives and former acquaintances in Cape May. They return to their Western home in September. Several families contemplate moving to Millville in the Fall.

"Are you going to the Seaville Camp?" is the question everybody asks everybody else. The Schr. Lena Breed, Capt. w. b. Powell, of this place, has had a case of [ small-pox on board while on her trip to Halowell, Maine. Mrs. Capt. Burke has just returned to her home after an absence of three months, during which time she has visited several of the prominent New England towns. r t — . j The Ooshcnites contemplate making extensive alterations in their old church building ; consisting of vestibule, basement, reseating etc., etc. a large part of the money has been subscribed and work will probably be commenced soon I * a - ■ r- ■ ■ . — |

DYER'S CREEK ITEMS. The literary entertainment of last week was a success. mm—*— * Regular session of our Sunday Schools will be held during camp meeting. Put a sluioe under Dyer's Creek bridge and then wait a few years for the results. Why don't the members of the C. L. S. C. of this county, form an association? We would, like, by a fair question, to ask "Index" how to get rid of herd grass. Geo. Rouse, of Philadelphia, is spending a few weeks at this place with Mr. S. Learning. Capt. E. Willetts informs us that he has tomato vines that stand as high as ' he does — nour six feet wo are sure. Why don't the stage driver growl f about the "Little Causeway"? We cer- ; toinlv would if we had to use it as much lie does. Though Llppincott's Gazetteer lias the name of this place spelled "Dias" Crook, the majority of the people love to spell, it "Dyer's." It is found on a very old map of this County spoiled "Doers" and some persist in spelling it "Piahs" ; but still the place remains, and the origin of its name unknown — we say unknown, to your correspondent. The moonlight excursion as reported in your last issue took place on Saturday evening between the hours of six and ten. All the surroundings seemed favorable to the excursion, while good nature and high spirits were the prevailing elements on board; and these marked features of the occasion wore much mora prominent after we had enjoyed the bountiful repast of the evening. After a few hours pleasantly spent on the bay we returned home, feeling that we had been greatly refreshed by our trip. Do*. CAFE MAY CITY ITEMS, Bathing was never better than now.

Messrs Stockton and Carwin intend enlarging their cottage# the coining year ; this looks like business. The colored church was opened lsst evening — those who attended say the services were interesting and the house » well filled. We are glad for ourcolored friends that they have at last a place in which to worship. i Judging by the way parties return, again and again during the same season, to this lovely spot — we are assured it has a host of wurm friends, and we think such unkind and untrue items as wen published last week by a neighbor will tend to ipjure him more than us, as truth is hound to win sooner or later, j" The "Gem Quartette" gave us four evenings of pleasure And the final concert was 1 a success , nothing to mar our comfort, i

Mrs. Ewing had a pleasant word for all, and in her quiet, dignified, and gentle manner won the love and respect of every one who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. Wc miss her choice conversation and sweet songs, and live ill the pleasant hope of meeting again. We heard her describing their home, and a desire seized us to visit Lancaster, Ohio, to climb the mountain#, enter the caves, admire the arches, and feast our eye# on Uie beautiful and varied scenery. "Oh, you will never .want to live anywhere else, after you have once seen Lancaster!" exclaimed the earnest Miss Bexll, whose absence has rendered one of our young gentleman inconsolable. Thomas Jr. is destined <9>r a bright future—we know whereof wc spc&k in paying him this compliment — as God is true to his promises and this lad observes, to the letter, the 5th commandment. Children who are disrespectful to ]iarent# might look and learn of the Ewing family, for even though so full of jokes and lively wit they are never unmindful of their mother's voice. Mr. ; Pom and Miss Beall are missed, and both old and young wish for their return. Many other pleasant people have left us, but tbanks to I>ame Fortune we havejthe Whilldins, Constantino*, Harks, Vol k mars, Powells, and others who are not behind in making time pas* on winged winds.
