The strawberry fields of South Jersey, which were white with blossoms a week ago, are to-day a mass of red fruit. The shipment of strawberries from New Jersey will be a big one. While the strawberry crop is certain to be an excellent one the blackberry crop--usually one of the most profitable of South Jersey crops--will be almost nothing, as the fruit branches were frozen during the severe winter, and the crop will be almost worthless. The

failure of the blackberry crop will have a tendency to make the peach yield a paying one, and as there promises to be one of the biggest peach crops in recent years growers are jubilant. There were no serious late frost to injure the buds and the trees are loaded with fruits, which promises to be of more than ordinary size. The fruit will begin to ripen about the first of July. Raspberries promise to be plentiful. The vines are now thickly covered with green fruit, and the prospect of big shipments and small prices is a source of worriment to the fruit farmers. Huckleberries will also be plentiful, and the poor people of South Jersey, whose harvest is huckleberries and cranberries, are likely to be more benefited than the fruit farmers. Swamp huckleberry bushes are now covered with green fruit. Adjourned Meeting. An adjourned meeting of Council was held on Friday evening, Mayor Moore in the chair. Councilmen Corson, Canfield, Hand and Steelman were present. After the approval of the minutes an order was drawn in favor of the Board of Health for $50, the amount of the appropriation. C. Watson, Street Supervisor, tendered his resignation to take effect immediately. It was accepted and Peter Murdoch elected to fill the vacancy. Bills to the amount of $286.14 were read and ordered paid.

Bids for the removal of garbage were

read, as follows: Parker Miller, $1000; Jesse Murdoch, $800; Carlos S. Corson, $590; A. D. Sharp, $550; Charles King, $425. Council resolved itself into a committee to consider the matter on Monday evening. Councilmen Corson and Canfield were appointed a committee to see if the paving on Asbury avenue, between Sixth and Ninth streets, would be completed before the opening of the season; also to put down stone crossings on Seventh and Eighth streets. Council adjourned. A Pretty Home Wedding. The residence of Wesley Risley, Asbury avenue, near Fourth street, was the scene of a very pretty home wedding on Thursday evening last. The high contracting parties were Miss Nellie Risley, daughter of Wesley Risley, and Elva J. Sharp, son of A. D. Sharp. The ceremony took place at precisely 9 o'clock, Rev. W. A. Massey officiating. After the happy couple had received the congratulations of those present, the wedding party retired to the dining room, where an elaborate lunch was served. Only the immediate families of the bride and groom were present. The bridal presents were very handsome. The newly-wedded couple will take up their residence with the groom's parents for the present. On Monday evening they were tendered a serenade by the W. A. Manahan Cornet Band, of this place. Mr. and Mrs. Sharp have our best wishes for their future welfare and happiness. Railroad Accident. Benjamin Newkirk, brakeman on the Ocean City accommodation train, W. J. R. R., met with an accident on Saturday which might have had a fatal termination. On its return trip the train, as usual, was made up of freight cars and passenger coaches, one of the former of which was loaded with poles, and in making up the train it was placed immediately in front of the coaches. While the train was running between Ocean View and Sea Isle City one of the logs fell from the car, one end striking the ground and the other entering the front end of the passenger car at a point where but a few minutes before Mr. Newkirk had been standing. His face was somewhat scratched, but otherwise he escaped injury. The car was so badly damaged that it had to be sent to the repair shops. Crabs Will Be a Rarity. Visitors to the South Jersey resorts this season will find that one of their favorite pastimes, that of crabbing, will be very dull work on account of the scarcity of these shell fish. Fishermen are complaining of the few crabs to be found and none are being shipped to the Philadelphia or New York markets from this locality. Usually at this season of the year, the waters of Cape May and Atlantic counties are teeming with crabs, but this year boiled or deviled crabs are really a luxury. During the winter thousands of them were killed by the severe cold and in the shallow waters of South Jersey the bottom froze so solid that all of the bedded crabs were frozen to death. Asking a Pardon. Efforts are being made to secure the release of John Somers, serving a life sentence at Trenton for murdering Samuel Mussin, in Atlantic City. While Somers was quarreling with his wife Mussin interfered and was killed with a blow from an ax. Somers has served ten years. BRICK! BRICK!!

The school closed on Friday last. Mr.

Moon will go down to Atlantic City on

the electric cars. Maggie Rose left on Monday morning for a trip with her father, Captain Joel Rose, on his vessel. BARGAINTOWN. As per announcement, the people of our town held a festival on Decoration Day which in every way was a decided success, being largely attended and well patronized. Large crowds came in the afternoon from English Creek in company with the G. A. R., headed by the Union Cornet Band of Scullville. The band rendered excellent music. The graves of soldiers were decorated, and a number of Red Men also decorated the graves of their brothers and sisters. An excursion to Ocean City and Longport by our people.

Baker and son, of Camden, spent a part of last week with relatives in our village.

Endeavor was surprised and greatly

pleased with a visit from Rev. J. E. Peters, President of the County Board, and Ezra A. Lake, President of the Society of the Pleasantville Presbyterian church. Mrs. Margaret English, who met with an accident three months ago, is very poorly. She improves very slowly. Harry Turner expects to go back to Texas in August. ENGLISH CREEK. The memorial services held here on Decoration Day far surpassed that of previous years. Nearly all of our people turned out, as well as a large number from the adjoining towns, which swelled the gathering to about six hundred souls. At eleven o'clock a. m. Joe Hooker Post, G. A. R., of Atlantic City, arrived, accompanied by the Union Cornet Band, of Scullville, and proceeded to the cemetery adjoining the Asbury M. E. Church, where our pastor, Rev. F. A. Howell, took a part at the grave as chaplain. A very impressive service was held, after which the soldiers broke ranks and decorated the graves of their fallen comrades. Next came the tribe of Red Men of English Creek and Somers' Point to decorate the graves of their departed brothers and sisters. At noon luncheon was served, ample provision having been made by our people for a crowd. At one o'clock the church was filled with people, when an address was delivered by Rev. Joseph Osterberry, of the M. P. Church. The choir favored us with a selection and the band rendered "Shall We Gather at the River," after which Rev. F. A. Howell made an address on the causes of the late war, and spoke of the first blood shed on April 19, 1861. When the first regiments of Massachusetts volunteers were passing through Baltimore on their way to Washington they were fired upon by the citizens and three men killed. Comrade John Getts arose and stated that he on the same day in the city of Baltimore fought for one hour and a half with razors, he being a barber, with the Confederates who attempted to pull down the stars and stripes from his building. Mr. Getts now resides in Atlantic City and is a member of the G. A. R. After the services closed, all started for Bargaintown, where services were also held. Many who were present at Asbury said the services were far in advance of last year. Decoration Day is growing more and more each year in the favor of our people. On May 20th a birthday party was given Rev. F. A. Howell at the parsonage. The members of the church and congregation presented Mr. Howell and wife with a very handsome tablecloth and twelve napkins to match. The dominie thanked all who contributed to the present. Presiding Elder Harris was present on this occasion, it also being about the time of our first Quarterly Conference. PLEASANTVILLE. One of our enthusiastic wheelmen took a homeward trip from Atlantic City recently and also undertook to measure the depth of the ditch. Say, Harry, how deep was it? D. Megronigle and Ezra Johnson covered the distance from Atlantic City to this place in fifteen minutes on their bicycles. George Biggs and family have moved from Philadelphia and taken occupancy of William Adams' new cottage. We are glad to see James R. Adams home again. We hope he has been benefited by his trip.

Max Meinhart was arrested last Wednesday night on a charge of attempting to break into an unoccupied cottage. Mrs. Elizabeth Brewer, of this city, was Friday placed under $500 bail to answer a charge of stealing the wedding dress of Mrs. Babette Berke.

Trumbull White, a Western author, will make a canoe trip from this city to New York this summer. The electric lights were not extinguished as was expected Sunday night because of the expiration of the city's contract with the corporation and a failure of renewal. The projected driveway from this city along the beach to Longport, six miles, received an impetus at Monday night's meeting of the committee. The railroad companies offered to furnish free of cost six hundred car loads of gravel. Mayor Wright has issued orders to the police force to shoot every dog found unmuzzled on the streets. Edward Waldmyer, a sign painter, fell from a scaffold Monday. Two ribs were broken, and his shoulder blade fractured. He will probably die.
