A. L. Haynes, Principal. Th* Fine Abts.—We were moat agreeably aurpriaod aa well as pleasantly entertained during a recent visit to the bnaineae establishment of Mr. E. Major, on Washington street, which is a combined tonsorial saloon, paint studio and pictnro gallery. The centre of attraction just no the stadia, where we found our fri Major intently engaged In putting sunlight Into a wild,- romantic me

tain scene.

It is but recently that Mr. Major has asenmed the bru«h and pallet, yet already his line artistic tastes in the production and reproduction of finely delineated plcturea, show him to bo master of the situation. Mr. Major bring an enthusiastic lover of the beautiful anil grand In nature, we found In hla studio some tine representations of grand old mountain scenery, fine lakes, quaint old country homes, caslelated towers, ancient ruins, cosy home scenes of every day life In the country, etc. If anyone wishes to |wm a half-hour pleasantly,’a visit to Mr. Major's gallery, will well repay the lime spent. We have received something lets than a peck of communications from Dennlsvllle relative to the M. E. Church war that is raging fiercely in that

accordance with the purposes of the meeting as set forth in the call of the

Mayor.

Thompson objected, >n twcriticise sc leagues in tihns more

il of his col-

subject;

is time.

We bare the highest retpecl of our correspondsnts on the they are beyond doubt honest

opinions and statements, but for the present we must decline the publication exciting subject. Its further dlicua- • eion In the spirit manifested by hiany of the writers, would only lie adding fuel to the flame of discord and dissension and bring discredit on the church. We hope our friends at Dennis will take

the second sober thonght matter, and conclude lo

hatchet of discord and cultivate the spirit of forgiveness and harmony.

Try It.

A summons from the Supreme

Court of New Jersey, was served on the members of the Cape May City Council, last Tuesday evening, by a •pedal deputy. Citing them to appear, either by attorney or In person, before the Supreme Court in Trenton on the 6th of April, to show

10th, of March.

Since the eerving of these tubpeonesa, council has met and i>crformed the duty required of them. Whether this action on their part squashes the proceedings in the Supreme Court t remslns to be seen.

The ayes and nays being called Mr. Thompson's motion to correct mules resulted as follows: Ayes, Cassidy, Hagrath, Thompson, dies, 4. Nays. Bcnexct, Price, Smith. Ware, 4. Being a tic, the Mayi d in the affirmative, and the mu were ordered to be corrected so aa to show that the report of tile cornu Babcock fire apparatus, had been

cepted by council.

Mr. Price renewed his motion jen tho returns of the election s declare who were elected. Mr. Thom|non objected.
