SATURDAY, AUGUST 28. 1827.

A favorite 'pastime with some of the brats creation in all parts of the country, and more popular than it should be in New Jersey, is that of elfe-beatlag. The brutality practiced by some fellows upon tbs partners of their joys and rows call for the set crest punishment— “an eye for an eye and a tooth for i tooth’’—and that suggests the r.-estat lishment of the whipping poet, which some profess to bold as a relic of barbarity. The punishment of wife healers should fit the crime and as good a flogging at the hands of a sulwart wielder of the cat-'o-nlne tails as they Inflict upon their wives Is none loo aevere. It would, not only be a proper punishment, but it would serve as a deterrent and curb the passions of woman-whipping fellows. The whipping post may be a relic of barbarism, but set more so than the outrageous treatment which too many husbands inflict upon their helpless wives. Jailing cnlprltaof this character fora period does no good; It is only a temporary restraint, for as soon as restored to liberty a majority of them resume their old hsblta, among them the abuse of their wives—Camden ‘•Courier. 1

That the future bolds in store for Cape May great things, none who are familiar with Its advantages can doubt. The march of progress has already begun, and will gather volume and strength until the opposing foroes will be gradually swept away, and that comprehensive development whieb all have looked for will be begun. As preliminary to its Inauguration It Is probable that the extension of the city

limits will become ultimately

It Is entirely within the bounds of probability that a breakwater may be oo us trusted at some future date on the aboal which runs nearly parallel with the point of the cape, and a safe harbor afforded there for Teasels of medium and light draft, and as the action of the onrrenta Influenced by auoh an obstacle would deepen the channel, the largest

cwiW b* »Kk: fcos ite tnstf, doxies! as it may seem, Cape May is warmer in winter and ccoler In sun mer than Philadelphia or soy olbi portion of the iolsnd between 37- an *0- north latitude. There are mai instances daring winter of mild sod pleasant weather here when Philsdel pbla la odd and furnished with abundance of toe and snow. Zero weather Is almoatun know Blslgblng snows are rsreand winter winds are neither so cold nor so fierce as at inland points. Here is * said by the. State Geologist of, CAPE MAT IN WINTKM. "There la s noteworthy difference in the winter seaaoo between Cape ilsy and the other ooset stations. It la a«eu in the difference In the average daily temperature which at Bsrnegst and Al■antie City la four te five degrees lower than it is at Cape May. temperature of these places also runs lower from four to nine degrees. The more southern situation of Cape May has something to do with this higher average minimum of the »inter But the Delaware Bay on .the r eat plains s part of It.

The position of Cape May Is more Insular than that of Atlantic City or Bsrnegst.

“The Monthly Weather Review of the United Stetee Signal Office nearly every month gives Cape May as having the leaet dally raege of temperature among its Middle States stations, and the range U nearly as low as that of Cape .Lookout, N.

it is not in vigorous human nature to be always miudlul of possible dangers,snd to deprive themselves of coveted pleasures, easy of attainment, because there msy be a remole possibility of accident. Accordingly there sre a number of swimmers who daily push for tbe life boat and enjoy an exhilarating swim In tbe cool, green sod deeper waters.
