CENTRE GROVE.

The above title has been given for some
years past to new and fourishing settlement
formerly known as sWhite Marsh" The new
name is very appropriate, as the settlement is
located about halfway between Bridgeton
and Mauricetown. About five miles from
Millville, five from Fairton; five from CEDAR
vile; five from Newport and about six from
Blu ckshootem. There are seven towns and
cities within seven miles of Centre Grove.
The school house is Of good size and located in
a beautiful grove, and there are enough
children in the neighborhood to fill it comfort
ably. The building is used on the Sabbath as
one of the appointments of Rev. Charles Gar
rison and the meetings under his supervision
are well attended Our young friend Winfield
s. MCGOWAN, late of this city. has preached
there several times lately, much to the app re.
citation Of the congregation Rev. j. W.
Stewart has been for years past the pastor Of
the mission, resides in this new settlement
and takes an active part in all that pertains to
the welfare Of the society.
The Strawberry Festival held at Centre
Grove on Saturday afternoon and evening last
was largely attended and grand success.
An abundant supply Of oil the delicacies and
refreshments Of the season was provided, and
everybody seemed to enjoy. themselves. Rev.
Charles GARRISON made brief nnd appropsi-
ate speech in the afternoon, followed by VIM
Geld s. McCowan, in his accustomed eloquent
and able manner. Rev.J. W. Stewart m ade
few remarks, followed by one whose name was
not on the programme Next week We shall
have more to say about this new settlement.

STRAWBERRIES.

The Strawberry crop has been unusu-
ally large this year, and prices have been
very low. The Agriculturist seems to
be the most popular variety, although
their are many others which are greatly
in demand. The most handsome we have
seen this season, of that variety, were
presented to us by Mr.. Thomas Fisher,
who understands raising almost anything
that can be grown in this section. Mr.
G.. w. johnson, our worthy ex-Post Mas
ter, presented us with couple of boxes
of the most handsome and best of the
Lady Finger variety that have made their
appearance in this market. Mr.. johnson,
we understand, is the first man who has
sent berries to Philadelphia by the seven
o'clock train, picked the same morning.

Beet, Veal, Lamb, Mutton.

Now that the season for fresh shad,
oysters, &C., is pretty we'll over, our citi-
zens begin to enquire for the more sub
etantIai meats, ouch are mention ed
above. Cumberland County is improv-
ing in the production of cattle, and our
farmers raise as good as can be found
anywhere, and the butchers of this city
know how to prepare them for the nu-
merous families which consume no small
quantity. The farmers have no occasion
to look for better market for their stock
than our own butchers, who purchase for
cash or its equivalent. Our attention
was lately called to this subject by OBJ
serving the enterprise of Mr.. Henry D.
Powell, who has opened two shops in this
city for the sale of meats, besides supply
ing it from his wagon as the doors Of all
who may desire superior article. Mr.
Powell is practical butcher, and under
stands what good stock is; and while the
farmers will find him first rate customer,
those in want of meat of the best quality
at reasonable price, delivered at their
doors, or at either of his shops, one of
which is located near the bridge and the
other on Laurel Hill, will find Henry on
hand ready to accommodate.

General Camp Meeting for the Promo
ton of Holiness.

For several years past the subject of general
Camp-meeting for the promotion of personal
holiness, has engaged the attention of promi-
nent members of the Methodist church, and
has been warmly seconded by the members of
other evangelical denominations. This Spring
the friends of the proposed meeting called a
convention in Philadelphia which was attended
by representatives from Baltimore, New York
and other places, and it was decided to hold it
this year at Vineland, in our State, commencing
on Wednesday, July 18th, and closing on Fri
day, July 26th. The public grove of that
town, by the kindness of Mr.. Landis, has been
offered for the purpose and accepted by the
committee, and as it is close to the rail road,
will form one of the mi ost convenient and pleas
ant locations that could be selected. 1t is ex-
pected that this meeting will be largely at
tended by ministers and laymen of other de-
nominations who are interested in this subject,
and a cordial invitation is extended to all peo-
pie irrespective ofchureh afinities, to attend.
Therewill be no traffic of any kind except in
religious books, and no refreshments except
the boarding tables.
Persons desiring to rent tents for their use
during the time of the meeting will make ap-
plication either personally or by letter to Rev.
R. J. Andrews, at Vineland. Amy information
in reference to the meeting may be obtained
from the posters of the Methodist churches
either in this city or Millvile.
The West Jersey Rail Road will issue tickets
at their usual excursion rates on all points of
their lines, and it is expected that the board
will be arranged at price that will be sat
isfactory to all parties concerned. 1t is due
to our Vineland friends to say that their town
was selected as the place, not only from its
suitability for such a meeting, but largely in
view of the fact that they determinedly ex-
clude the sale Of liquor from their town.

A DELICIOUS TREAT,

On Friday last we received most ex-
cellent treat of Ice Cream, from the es-
of Mrs. Atkinson, of this
city. The quality was superior and the
quantity abundant to supply all our force
and couple of friends who happened in
about that time, all of whom pronounced
it superb. Mrs. A. has the facilities for
manufacturing very extensively by steam
power, and we are glad to learn that she
is having good share of patronage
This is not the first time the printers
have been remembered by that popular
establishment, and we trust it may not be
the last. May her popularity still con.
tinue to increase. rasi 5oE

~ By special request Of his numerou

n By special request Of his numerous
patients and many of our citezens, DR.. H.
II. HYDE has consented to remain in this
city until the close of the present month.
The DR.. is stopping at Davis 4 Sons
hotel, where any one suffering from
neuralgia, rheumatism, catarrh, nervous
affections, diseases Of the eye, ear, throat
or any chronic affection, may consult him
and receive treatment if they desire
He has numerous patients in this city
who are improving under his treatment.
DR.. H. does not depend alone upon cleo
tricity; but uses remedies peculiar to his
system Of treatment. The numerous tes-
timonials which the DR.. brings from this
and other states, should be sufficient to
convince all of his skill and the value OF
his treatment. His electric battery is
perhaps the best in this country, and
the many years Of successful practice has
won for DR.. H. a wide reputation. Those
who are spending their money for useless
ouack medicines and injuring their con-
stitutions, would do well to give the DR..
call. He is Principal of the New York

and needs Of the people, but still there
are but few hands to whom so much
power can be safely entrusted, and if his
exercise of his Office does not please his
superiors, his continuance in Office would
be OF the briefest possible character He
is allowed upon his owp option to gill all
vacancies nd.appoint Trustees. To
make his Office an acceptable one to the
people 1T will be needed that tie repre-
sentatives of the people be identified
with the superintendent in this matter
and we presume there will be an effort in
the legislature at its next session to add
this feature to it. In addition to these
objections, the law as it works now is an
unnecessarily costly one. For the vari-
Gus officers necessary under the new
order, for some of which we cannot see
the least possible use, except to draw
their pay, the cost is probably three
times what it was under the old system,
and we cannot help thinking the old
arrangement did the work far better tnan
the new. Their interference with the
mode of furnishing books for the schools
is, it seems to us, worthy of the minds
that originated the entire law. Hereto
| fore, after various trials as to how this
question could be best harmonized, the
plan was finally agreed upon that the
books should be furnished free alike to
all, and paid for out of the money raised
by the people. This plan obviated the
sense of pauperism in the feelings of the
poor, while at the same time it furnished
their children with the books The new
law only allows the books to be thus fur
nishei 10 those who will confess them
selves too poor to buy them, confession
which however true it may be in fact,
but few of our people are inclined TO
make, and in consequence will keep their
children out of school. The law has
many good provisions aud' is perhaps
capable of being improved into a satisfac-
tory plan of working, but so far as it
develops itself to our perception, it is in.
ferior to the system which we had before,
and ought either to be so modified as to
distribute quite largely among the COM
munities the power which it centralizes
in Trenton, or else consigned, Booth-like,
to legislative grave under the flag
stones of the State Normal School at
Trenton.
