NEWAhk, ~. D., TUESDAY, Sept u lcO4.
This morning, in passing through the streets Of
Newsrl, my ate alton was arrested by large crowd
gathered to vitness the evoutons Of two Cavalry
Companies The Philadelphia Company was re-
ceived yesterday by Capt. Henis chs troop, aud the
whole day was occupied With variety Of imposing
ceremonies. II may be sifey said that thousand
people spent either part the whole Of the day in
witnessing the marches and counter marches. large
part Of these spectators and probably slso OF the
troopers themselves hardly in creumstancss to
warrant 30 large an outlay.
Let Us suppose there were FIVE hundred men who
thus sacrificed the day 70 the spectacle at cost
doller each, by the loss o. wages and twenty-five
cents each for the ct cete-a Of that kind OF loaf
ing Here is loss Of sG25, az the price the people
ped for the s;rbt which estimate is probably not he
Of the real cost The Philadelphia troopers spend the
entire week at the business and the Newakers tnrse
days at least and am told the whole week. Inc
cost Of borses transportation, and hotel expenses,
cannot be snythng short Of from two TO three dol
lars a dly to each man. Call 1t Two dollars each,
making tg elve doas apiece, or some -, %OO 70 me

lal ,rer whose wages on an average are one dollar
and a bef per day we have another item of 5000 70
add 10 the bill msking some $4,000. 1t IL SAFE to say
the whole has cost IS 900, besides tba i1app ecabe
cost OF dissipation TO industrious habit and perhaps
aIso 10 habits of sObreiy
II am not misinformed the expenses Of this show,
and mspy sDila- of a military character, fall on
nersops who gain their money by days labor, and
Tor this reason they not to be supposed Ia be able
10 bear such expenses without serious detrlment |
can young men in tn; city, VINO have been to
greater expense than that indicated in the above
calculation because the expenditures have been made
on q more extended scale. IL makes difference
whether they are guests "pay the shot" them
teves, il costs somebody large sum and in the eud
il must fall equety on most and gue't and there can

man should exercise in order TO prepare for "rany

by getting home stead.

hope " the good time is coming.
Newark is no longer the city OF mud. Since " ltip-
"lty's Jack" drowned in the mud at the corner
of Commerce and Mulbery-s's there has been a
wonderful work done IN paving the streets. Inc
GRE al avenue of Newark Broad ST. one OF the come
lest avenues in this country, is now paved through.
out its entire length Market-st beautiful street
cutting Broad a ri ht angles, is also paved, together
with number Of the other principal streets lhey
ere pushing the work just fast s thsy can get the
stone which come principally down the Morris Canal.
Huzza for Newark Its prncely streets, along winch
fashion and enterprise roll an immense de OF 't4Ve
are now delightful and will be so the year Trough.
There are men now living in Newark who reLnem,
Der when the only churches in Newark were the old
First PRESBYTERIAN church and Trinity church on the
Park Then came the Baptist church in Academy'st,
and the Methodist church in Halsey ST. After that
the second Presbyterian then the third fourth, hith,
sixth and many more; then several Reformed Dutch
churches several Baptist and Methodist and also
several Roman Catholic churches came; until now,
in the City of Newark there are fiftytwo churches,
divided into the following orders: Is Presbyterian,
Reforms, d Dutch. Baptist Protestant Eplscopb,
IL Methodist l Bethel, Universllst, Roman
Catholic Evangelical Lutheran, and German Ec-
formed-whch makes the average of churches one TO
little more than every one thousand people, which
fact looks better paper than II does on Sunddys,
when one is certain that mutudes attend no church.
Some of the church edifces are noble buildings.
The old First Presbyterian ard Trinity are plain
solid stone buildings, which win stand th0rs-
and years if people will let them. The Hghtst Pes
byterian. the Market-st. Methodist, and Grace
Churches show the pre- ence Of an improved archi-
lecture which is modelling the brown free-stone of
these hills into graceful forms well as great dura-
biltv The Catholic Cathedral is fine building Of
brick and the Methodists now putting up spen-
did church at the lower end Of Broad.st., using the
brown free.stone. The wealthy congregation of the
First Presbyterian church remodeng the interior
of their building in the severely and hty chaste style
of the Dorc order, and by next spring viii have an
audience chamber in harmony with the genius OF
Presbyterianism, and pride 10 the city.
