never to ache.
4th. No temporary teeth are needed, as per-
manent ones can be made Immediately, thereby
preserving the natural expression OF the face,

Ave years by many of the first chemists and
physicians OF this and the old country.

NEW POST MASTER.

Mr.. G. W. johnson, for several years past
Post Master in Bridgeton, has lately resigned
and Mr.. Joseph S. Miner has been appointed
to fill the vacancy. Mr.. johnson was one of the
most popular men that has filed that position
for many years past. His health having failed
while performing the arduous duties of the Of
fee, he has preferred concentrating his efforts
to his News Depot and store business. Pub
fishers necessarily have considerable business
transactions with Post Masters, and we must say
that during Mr.. Johnson's entire administra-
ton he endeavored to do his duty faithfully
Mr.. Miner has had considerable experience
in the Office and will no doubt be acceptable
to the public. He is making very commenda-
BILE improvements, which the increased busi
ness ofthe Office demands. Three hundred "Hd
seventy letter boxes have been introduced in
place of two hundred and twelve, and the
Office, in otherrespects, enlarged and improved.
West-Jersey pioneer., 1865-06-17
THE REASON WHY.

Some of our friends may wonder why the
Resolutions passed at meeting on board the
steamer David Reeves, on the I'd inst, were
not published in fha Ds~---~.- In compliance
with the following resolution, unanimously
adopted -
Resolred, That copies of the resolutions just
adopted be furnished to the Bridgeton Chroni-
Gle and Pioneer for publication, and that copies
Of the papers containing them be sent to the
persons specially named therein.
The proceedings of that meeting and the
resolutions were kept back from our office un.
til Thursday evening, and it is well known
that the Pioneer forms are made up at that time.
ready to print carly on Friday morning. We
feel it to be our duty to let those interested
know why their request was not complied
with. If anything is intended for publication
in the Pioneer, we advise our friends to send ii
direct, by a reliable person.
West-Jersey pioneer., 1865-06-17

trotic hearts rcloiced that the work OF
death has ceased, and that the strength and an-
thorty of the Government have been estab-
lishcd. Many of our citizens who have risked
their lives upon the battle field have been dis
charged from service and returned to their
homes to enjoy with us the fruits ftheir labor.
In consequence of the terrible deed which so
soon followed the tidings of victory and peace,
no day of general rejoicing has been observed ;
and as it is cmineutly proper that the whole
people should, on the same day, manifest their
Joy at the return Of PEACE and the prescrva-
ton of the UNION.
Therefore, |, Joel Parker, Governor of the
State of New Jersey, hereby recommend that
on the fourth day of July next, the Annver
sary of our National Independence, the people
of every city, town and village of this State,
assemble, aud by appropriate public exercises,
observe the day. as an occasion of Thanksgiv-
ing and Rejoicing; and that especial arrange
ments be made, in each locality, to give a sui
table welcome to the brave soldiers of the
Union.

tenth day of June, A. d., eighteen hundred

THE MEXICAN IMBRoaLIo.

The attempt of Napoleon to establish a
monarchy in Mexico bids fair to prove a
failure. Maximilian himself is doubtful of the
experiment, and after resorting to all kinds Of
subterfuges, he finally resolved to resign the
position assigned to him in that unhappy coun-
try, and the last advices from Europe an
nounce that the event of his resignation has
already taken place. The difficulties he mot
with in organizing his authority in Mexico
have been much greater than he anticipated,
and at last he has found that even the Mexi-
cans themselves, turbulent and revolutionary
as they are, are unwilling to submit to the rule
of a foreign dictator on their own soil. The
fact is, the American continent was never de-
signed to be cursed by monarchial form of
government, for it has evidently been pre-
served by Providence to elucidate the princi-
Piles of free and republican institutions. Louis
Napoleon, however, like all grasping and am
bilious men in power in the Old World, at
tempted to take advantage of our domestic
troubles to establish Power in Mexico, and
thus gain foothold for himself which, under
any other circumstances, he would not have
been permitted to undertake. The application
of the Monroe doctrine, which, heretofore, has
been duly recognized on all hands, would have
effectually barred his aspirations in this re-
spect. The close of the war, and the project
of colonizing portion of Mexico by American
adventurers, will give new incentives for Max
imilian to abdicate and retire from the throne
which has been given him, but which, under
the best circumstances, could have only been
but temporary. 1t is too late for monarchs to
seek power on this continent.
