DEATH OF ROBERT STOCKTON JOHNSON
Another of our citizens of sterling worth, Mr..
Robert s. johnson, died on Saturday, of pneu
monia, at the advanced age of seventy-six years.
He was native OF this city, ason of one Of the
most distinguished lawyers of New Jersey, whose
portrait still decorates one of the court houses
of that State. Mr.. johnson was many years
successfully engaged Ms o merchant and manu-
tacturer in the iron business. He devoted the
later years OF his life to the pursuit OF agr;ul-
ture as a science, and we know of no one who
has done more to stimulate the famers in the
vicinity OF our CITY, especially in New Jersey, TO
generous rivalry in the development of the re-
sources of the soil. Mr. Johnson was q gentle
man OF much urbanity, unOstentatious beDevo'
lence and answering correctness in all the re-
latons of life. He was, in a word, an honest
mantle noblest work of God. The flags of the
ierry.boats we're at halEmast on Saturday out of
respect to his memory. TT
AssAULTING CoLoRED WoMEN.-The Re-
cCrder had before him, on Saturday alterno IN,
a man named William Taylor, conductor, and
George Palmer, brakesman, on the West Chester
Railroad, on the charge OF assault and battery
upon two Colored women, named Mary b. Miles
and Annie Adams. II appears that on Saturday
week the plaintiffs took passage in the 7'30 A.
M. train of the West Chester Railroad taking
seats in the rear end OF the passenger cars.
Shortly after, the conductor, Mr.. Taylor, came
along and said, "You had better go to the front
part OF the car" Mrs. Miles refused to comply
with the request. 1t is alleged that the con.
assistance the brakeman, who like wise seized
hold OF Miss Adams, and thev were together
violently elected IRON the cars. Taylor and
Palmer were held in $1,000 bail each for trial.
RUNAWAY AND ACCIDENTAL horse at
tached to wagon ran away about eleven
o'clock yesterday morning, in the neighb blrhood
OF Broad street and Passyunk road. Mr.. John
Frazier, the occupant of the veh Gle, was thrown
out and severely injured. He was picked up in
an insensble condition and taken to h )nse in
the vicinity, and afterwards to his residence, at
Eleventh and Market streets.

A New England Johnny cake-takinp

ches long, inches wide, and II inches
in thickness. Surprising the entire crop
of Illinois for 1865 was ground into meal
and converted into Johnny cake, allow
ing one quart of meal to each cake, and
the Johnny cakes were laid up 10 the form
Of solid wall, 20 feet high and 20 feet
wide, 50 that three carriages could 20
abreast thereon. this wall would reach
from Cairo TO Dunleith. 1t would sur
round the city Of London, covering ITO
square miles, with a wall GO feet high
aud GO feet wide of solid bread. This
immense crop would put Johnny cake
IN the hands of every man, woman and
child-savsge and civilized upon the
face of the habtabe globe. 1t would
feed the planet for two days. 1t would
require a crib eight feet high by eight
feet wide, allowing two and half feet to
busheI, 3,2'5 miles in length. reaching
from Passamaquoddy bay to San Fran
cisco, and good share of the distance
back. If it were converted into whishey,
computing three gallons to the bushel, it
would form an inland sea sufficient to
float the entire navies Of the world. No
man need starve to death in Illinois.
1t all the kernels of this extraordinary
crop were strung on wire, allowing two
and half grains to an inch, length wise,
there being $1,000 in a bushel, this wire
would reach to the moon ESQ times, form
ing cable four inches in diameter.-
