They have witnessed the Cape in the various successful seasons, as well at those which were not so prosperous, for the past quarter of a rectory, and in some cases s longer period. They have seen our delightful city by the sea visited by two very destructive conflagrations, and have also witnessed it rise from the asoes and take renewed action in the building of new and handsbme i botels_and cottages, the erection of one I of the finest, if not the very best, ocean I pisr to be found along the Jersey coast, i and many other things to numerous to ■ mention. Still there are many others 1 which should be added, and which are i now being agitated. It bcheovea all i those who have the good of the place at [ heart to lond their every effort to the i advancement of these much needed itn- a provcmcnts.

s One of the most Important arrest of 3 thieve* which has been made -to-We*t- £ Jersey focaflgpSdmC occured last week. F They had committed a series of depre- _ predation all along the line of the West jersey Raihoad and its branches, .lor. ,r cluiiing the towns and especially railroad stations. One of the leaders, Timothy Mulkur, was arrested in Camden on Monday, and hb brother, John, the following Friday morning, and both arc jjj Held to answer lor the following robberr» tes which have recently taken pbce. „ The railroad stations ,at Bewell, Pitman and Porrist Groves. South Vlneifl land. Ocean View, Bra Isle City, and Ocean City, and tkicc stores in Ocesn City and four in Sea Lie City, also two stations along the line of the New Jersey » Southern Railroad, four store* in MiUville, five houses in Cumberland, two ■ houses and two stores in Atlantic and * two stores in Camden Counties. The « prop-.rly recovered amounts to several * hundred dolbra. One of them was rapt lined while riiling upon a tri.-cycle ? which he I rati stolen from Sea Isle City. * This imports nl arrest was made through ' the efforts of J. J. Doak, who is enr1 ployed as speriai detectiye try the West ' Jersey Itailrond Company. The Mayor r of 8« Isle City lm* written Mr. Dosk a 1 letter thanking him for tin successful ' manner in which he lias hunted down thev scouudeb.

He b quite well 'warn bv the old of Cap May, although he has | not resided here, ss:!y in the summer months, for a manlier of years. About 1 1850 Captain I'.l dredge, then a young j of about tlx teen, started for Louisville, Ky., where he entered the em- . ploy of the Adam Express Company. | After rrinaluing there for several years and saving considerable money he started for Philadelphia and engaged in j the hardware business, lie met with great success in this enterprise, and we ^ might add here that tire baniwtre 'S < Colonel Lansing's hotel was -furnished by Mr. Bdredge, as well as many other -houses in Cape May. This was about thirty-five years ago, lie eubsequcnlly tmaased a large fortune of *200 000 and j retired. He afterward concluded to go into tbtf steamboat Uuisness, Ireing tinprime mover in fotming the old Hsnfoid ( outside line between New York "and t Philadelphia, in which he was a brge looser.

Kcibcnock, I" and llevburn, was appointed to vc take charge of the bnds offered and do what was n necessary to get legal con- fu Vol. Arrangements were made to begin It' work on the park at once under the direction of the committee. The meeting ni adjourned to meet but night at the P Money expended on the drives of thb ^ city b wisely invested. Theitnprovomenu In llib line should be of a sub- . suntbl character, not made for a short . of two months, but for time. To shovel up a few cart loads of gravel on the middle of the highway and call it ^ road-making is a mistake. There's an g, art in the bualneet, and one very impcr- ^ feclly understood. More money is wasted by bad luetboda on road* and streets than any other public improve- ^ menL The work b generally committed m to men who have no theoretical knowledge of the art, hence the unwise waste . . in thb direction. Ho far as the city goes the public highways are satbfac- i{, lory, but they should be made to reach out to Bewell's Point, Gape May Point and to places up the country. jjj To show what injury the hauling of U neU can do, a rate in point occurred recently in the sounds near Bio Grande. b< Before any hauling was done in Rich- d< srdson's Channel fish were being caught H in large numbers, and their were several who were making good wages at catch- « them with the hook and line.

There has been no U Hah caught worth speaking of since these haub have been msdo. It msy be E waked, do the neb decrease the number l' of fish In our sound* ?
