Don't bet, but if you must, bet a year's subscription for the Gazette. The G A7.KTTB will give the county vote next week — single copies 3 cts. We do not hear that the epizootic is increasing to any alarming extent. We were honored by a call from Hon. J cmo D. Ludlam, on Saturday last. ^Xwt't borrow your neighbor's paper, but stop up to the office and subscribe. Robeson's speech was ono of his best efforts — sound argument without abuse. Airs. Hetty Hand ha* in her possession a newspaper over one hundred years old. ' a, v Woodruff & Willis have opened their meat shop to supply the town with fresh meat. Airs.

Its popular to take it. The Gazette devil has been trying for several <lays past to make lyo with coal ashes. Needless to aay he did not succeed. Friend W, C, Stephens, of Capo May City, called during our absence on Saturday last. We regret that wo missed seeing him. Capt, Samuel Buck while crossing the Capes on Monday last in his vessel, had thojibs and fore-sail blown away by a terrific gale. Gabriel Holmes will sell at Public Sale at Pierce's 'Point, on Saturday, October 30th, at 1 o'clock, 10,000 bushels of oyster shells.

It only costs a small amount te say so through the Gazette. A Cumberland oounty farmer claims to have raised 425 bushels of potatoes to the acre, and 42 of the largest measured a bushol, the best specimens weighing mOre than 4F pounds each. The '♦May's Landing Record" copied our report of a recent wedding in its issue of the 23dt failing to give credit to the Gazette. We havo no doubt the omission was unintentional. ( - I"' % m I Mrs. Elizabeth Feaster, sister of our townsman Geo. Grace, died' suddenly at what is known as the "Pennsylvania place, *' near Dyer's Creek, on Friday of last week. She leaves a large family of children. Philadelphia clothing houses are hereby informed that the Gazette advocates patronizing our South Jersey merchants who arc known to be reliable in preference to city dealers whoso reputations are doubtful. Airs. Thad. VanGiiderj Pctersburgb, offers to the ladies of this county a variety of bargains in dress goods, shawls, cloaks, millinery etc. Huving the latest styles, and lowest prices consistent with good goods, she no doubt will satisfy the longings of the most fastideous.

An excursion of about 600 people visited Ocean City (Peck's Boach) on Tuesday last^ thai day being the occasion of opening the now railroad from PlciwnntvUle to Homers' Point. This road is narrow-guago and connecta with the Philadelphia and Atlantic City road. Tho distance across the bay to tho bonch is about 3 miles and is covered by steamboat. It will bo remembered that Ocean City Is under tho control of tho Methodists and is intended for a moral and religions summer resort. It Is about 18 inches higher than the levelof Atlantic City. A number of streets and avenues have been cleared -out and some of them are provided with excellent gravel and board-walks j the roadways will bo graded and graveled in a short time. The best lots range In prico from $600 to $000, and many of them are already improved. About 40 cottages are now completed and the prospect is that they will number closo to 200 by the next camp meeting in August 1580. There are 3 grocery stores in running order, also a tin and hardware store. Ocean Avenue and Atlantic street are the main thoroughfares, the lota on which they bind being 50x135 and 50x130. The streets are from 65 to 100 feet in width. A magnificent hotel has been -erected since April of this year, at a cent of

$1500. It has 45 completed rooms und 15 not yet finished. A large tabernacle will bo erected in time for the season of '81 and many other important improvements are conteiupluted. A large number of the invited guests were favored with n sumptuous dinner and another large number of invited guests were not favored with a sumptuous dinner. The managers were evidently attacked with a fit of* liberality which was displayed by the presentation of seven dinner tickets to tho Tuckakoe Steamboat Co. as a remuneration for carrying between three and four hundred passengers across the bay. in ono of the trips i ho steamer -*r*» so unfortunate .as to have a wheel-house torn away, and the cost of "repairing this damage, wages of tho boatmen, fuel, and wear-and-tear of the boat makes rather ir heavy off-set against the seven dinner tickets, ono of which secured its holder 2 slices of bread and a cifp of coffee. goshenTtems. Mrs. William Burke gathered on Alonduy Inst, from a small dwarf pear tree, eight pears whose aggregate ! weight was eleven pounds and six J ounces ; the heaviest one weighing one pouud and In ounces.

They were all young persons with the possibility of | long years and great usefulness before | thorn. We hope they may reach their highest grandest possibilities us Christian workors here on earth and then, when life's work is ended, receive an j abundant entrance into the rest of the faithful. A couple of Goshen husbands, in the absence of their wives, concluded to have a good square meal on their own hook. After arranging the more spb* stuiitial elements they concluded to have some preserves, and nt once began -r search or cupr»oara;cl05ei,-antl-pnntf^ i at last their search was crowned with success— they found what their souls desired, a jar of preserves. The cover was carefully removed, and a spoon insortcd when lo, they brought up a bag containing something looking very suspicions. A council of war was held and the decision reacbodJbat some person, i with malice aforethought, had poisoned the preserves, and tliev of course daro ( not eat them. Tho bag was returned to tho jar, the cover carefully adjusted, j and tho jar put in its place, they con- | mderii-g their tracks wore successfully j covered ; but the idea of poison so wrodght upon their minds that thoy ! thought it necessary to notify tlioir wives of the danger they had boon exposed to. They were quite astonished to lonrn that it was simply a bag of 'spice, and at the same time to receive a gentle admonition to keep out of the preserves in the future. Tiu ho. DENN18V1LLE ITEMS. A friend of your correspondent says it makes him "feel good all over to got hold of a good, sound Democratic paper and see how the party has rallied since tho Ohio and Indiana elections." Wait and see how they rally on Tuesday next; you may feel bettor or feci worse. The Young People's Temperance I Union is rapidly growing. Wednesday evening last being tho third meeting, thoy had a membership of, 125 and it j bids fair to be a very profitable society under the management of Rev. 'G. W. Newton, Pastor of the Af. E.

The : day was bright and clear, and though ' the air was cool the ladies were all well ' provided with warm wraps and etyoyed the breeze.
