ANOTHER APPEAL TO THE CHARITABLE.
IL the donors who responded to our appeal Tor
aid OF ''dyng soldier' could have seen the
effect of their lbPrality they would not deem il
improper to lay before our readers two cases
Whicn have fallen under our notice. We merely
give the facts, making 40 appeal, but should any
of our readers desire 10 and the cases, for the
truth of which we can vouch, then contributions
will be received by the Editor OF this paper,
acknowledged through its columns, and delivered
into the hands of the sufferers.
A soldier, a private in the 72d Pennsylvania
Volunteers, Is lying in his fathers house, with
four bullet wounds through his limbs unable TO
sit erect, wrecked with pain and almost dying
with starvation. His father laborer, is an old
man, and though he struggles hard, is unable to
furnish food and medicine. The invalid writes
TO find who are willing though unable TO aid
him and says, "For Gods sake send me some
money or some breadn Powerless himself, with
friends who are powerless, he must starve or be
helped. Should any desire to aid him, contribu.
tions sent to us for wounded Veteran" Will
be given to him. a On
The other case is one OF another soldier who
has for weeks been laid on his bed with typhoid
fever His familS--of wife and four little
children-having been working, and living on
his accumulated pay. All is now spent and he
too weak to move, and his children sick. The
man is a deserving and faithful detender of oul
| country, and any aid given him would be bott
an act of charity and patriotism, Money fol
] him may be sent TO us for aE"Soldiers Family.

dangerous and miserable condition of the streets
in Camden is such as to elicit the censure of
every individual. Vast masses of snow lie piled
up in the cutters where it had been deposited
when shovelled from the pavements. This blocks
the water courses, and causes the sidewalks to
become flooded to such an extent as to render
pedestrianism dangerous and unpleasant. Why
do not the Street Committees OF the several
wards see to the removal of such nuisances?

CENTENNIAL. ANNIVERSARY OF METHo-
DIsM.-An interesting meeting was held in the
Third Street Methodist Church last evening, tor
the purpose of making preparations to celebrate
the Centennial Anniversary OF Methodism in this
State. Eminent speakers were present, who de.
picted, in eloquent language the progress made,
and the great good accomplished since John
Wesley set out as a reformer. Tue Outstanding
influence of the Methodist Church has been felt
all over the civilized world; but in no quarter
of the globe, perhaps, has its moralizing ten
dency accomplished more than in America. It's
democratic discipline is congenial to republican
institutions while its simplicity is adapted to the
character and habits Of people ever Jealous of
blending Church and State affairs. Since the
birth OF Methodism it has surpassed all other de-
nominations in PROSECUTING the masses, and has
worked out incalculable good as a restraining
power in every community. 1t has reclaimed
the depraved reformed the wicked, and warred
against the vices of the aCe, with zeal which
has exacted the admiration OF all sects; and, in-
creasing in numbers and power as it is, the good
fruits already borne will be but tithe of the
rich harvest in store for future eXertions. The
Centenary Anniversary will no doubt be one OF
the greatest demonstrations of the age, while it
will lend new vigor and give greater impetus
to the progress OF Methodism throughout the
world,

MATTERS OVER THE RIVER.

LONG BRANCH IMPRovEMENTs.--An of
the watering places along the New Jersey coast
will be greatly ENLARGED and improved the
coming spring. The contemplated additions to
Long Branch however, will exceed those to be
made at any other summer resort along the
shore. large hotel is to be put up, and finished
complete in time Tor the bathing season. 1t will
be seven hundred feet long, four hundred feet
wide, ana tour stories high with every conve-
nience calculated to make it q frst-class hotel.
This edldce will be the largest on the coast, and
add much to the popularity ofI.ong Branch. We
also learn that contracts have been made for the
erection of some sixty cottages by different indi-
vlduals, principally citizens of New York, who
begin to realize the excellence OF summer re-
treats on the Jersey coast. III Atlantic City, too,
quite number of Improvements will be made,
by the erection OF new hotels and enarglng
others. Several new cottages will be completed,
some of which are already commenced. Long
Branch, Atlantic City, and Cape Island are three
of the most popular summer resorts in the coun-
try, because of their close proximity to the two
great seaport towns; and, if that much dreaded
scourge the cholera, should visit us, these places
will be much crowded,
