ThOAK who were noniinaled for the leirough offices at Cape May Point on Tuesday evening were very creditable selections. With Prof. Fullerton as mayor, and the Council as nominate.!, the borough government should be dig-

nified and able.

There have been several incidents r* oently which indicate that there are few sharpers here endeavoring to “work the town.” Several pocket-books have been lost and several doors have been tried late at night. The police should have a sharp look-out for these gentry.

Yus. there are lota of mean people in this world, and they do annoy their betters exceedingly. For the things they do it is hard It must be l*om in them, we think in' ’ all charity, coming down to them, perhaps in an ancestral line. Still, it hooves one to guard against the harm they constantly strive to do. "Somr times heaping coals of fire on their beads faeljis them, but oflenrr they to be burned through and through with these coals. Pearl Roberta, the woman implicated in the drowning case at Qu>e May Point, of which the details were given In yesterday’s IrTAk, was arrested In Philadelphia yesterday. She was held to await the action of authorities here. Hie says the missing man Wardell, was intoxicated and nearly drowned her aa well as himself, by venturing recklessly into deep water. 8be clsima that she sank with him, and when she arose again to the surface be had disappeared. The case is receiving a searching inves-

Tux subject of carting sand from the beach in front of the cKy, it one receiving considerable attention just now.

They insist upon it that the beach is shortened, low ered and weakened thereby, and their bathing, grounds much damaged. They mean to ascertain how much there is in the law for their protection.

In an estimate of the resources, income. snd expenditure of Cap* May county, for 1758, made by Jacob Spicer (3d), there D credit given the county for production of the “ mitten article,’’ to the value of five hundred pounds storting. The manner Iu which the mitten trade, which, as thus appears, was quite a reward to the female industry of the county, was encouraged, is related in the following letter from Dr. Franklin to Benjamin YaUghan, dated I’aaay, July SCth, 1748, "on the benefits

and evils of luxury

** The skipper of the shallop, employed between Cape May and Philadelphia, had done us some service, for which he refused to he paid. My wife understanding he had a daughter, sent her a present of a new-fashioned cap. Three years afterward, this skipper being my honse with an old fanner of Oajie May, his {wasengrr. he mentioned the rap and how much his daughter had been pleased with it; ‘hut,’ said he, ‘It proved a dear cap to our congregation.' How so? • When my daughter appeared with it at meeting, it was so much admired that all the girls resolved get such cape from Philadelphia, and my wife and I computed that the whole would Dot have cost leas than one hundred pounds.’ ' True,' said the fanner, ’but yon do not tell all the story. I think the cap was nevertheless vantage to us, for it was the first thing that put our girls upon kniuiug worsted mittens for sale at Philadelphia, that they might have wherewithal to buy caps ami ribbons there, and you know that that industry has continued, la likely to continue' and increase much greater value, and answer better purposes.' Upon the whole I reconciled to this little pleoc of luxnry, since not only the girls were happier by having fine cape, but PhQadclphians by the supply

No man did more use of the Union than did Mr. E. C. Knight. He was president of the great Philadelphia Union League, and he spent freely of hia great fortune iu the contest for the unity of the nation.
