BArrIsTs IN New JERsEY.-Welearn
from the Newark Advertiser, that the
Baptists in New Jersey have been
steadily advancing in benevolent eff.
forts, and increasing in numbers, ever
since the formation of their Missiona-
Try Convention in 1880. Since that
period their number has more than
doubled, and their contributions to be-
nevolent societies, have increased f-
Atyjold. There are now, in New jer-
| sey about 20 Baptist Churches, about
so ordained and licensed preachers,
and about 5000 members.-B.
DEATH OF JUICE BuEL.-We re-
ilgret to learn from the New York pa
tpers of yesterday. that Jesse Buel, of
Albany, died at Danbury, Conn.,, a few
days since. Judge Buel was man

Der Of years had devoted himself to
the promotion of the cause Of aglricul-
ture. His s'Cultivator'' is well known
and his death should be regarded as
a national calamity.
Custom HOUSE REMOVALS There
has been another batch of removals
from office in the Custom house, upon
the Infamous principle that the incum-
DENTS would not subscribe per CEN
tage of their salaries toward the Tam
many election fund. We understand
/ that, after the gentlemen refused to
subscribe, the Collector was waited
upon by a committee, and their reno.
val required. The mandate we grieve
to say, was obsequiously. obeyed. We
say grieve, and we mean what we
say. The whole machinery of our
National Government is becoming
] rotten, and Jacobin clubs are dictat-
ing to public officers in the same spir.

4 ANECDOTES The late conduct o

: that this minister, though idolized, wa

and good-hearted, but manyo Of then
