RoBEsoN & WHITAKER.

A long time since, it was our custom, at
this season of the year, to call attention to all
the establishments in Bridgeton. which adver-
tised in the columns of the Pioneer. After
keeping up the same routine for many years
in succession, We have concluded to adopt a
different plan, and from time to time refer to
the different establishments in this city, whose
advertisements may be found in our columns.
This week the firm of Robson & Whitaker
claims our attention All who are acquainted
with 1t well know that whatever we may say,
however exalted, will be nothing more than
its merits deserve. That it is a first class
house, In every respect, no one will pretend to
deny. The active partner, Mr.. James L.
Whitaker, is well known as one of the sub
stantial and reliable men of our city. He
served long term with Mr.. Francis Brewster,
in the Drug and Medicine business, and ac-
quired knowledge of that thoroughly accom-
plished gentleman, of superior business quail
fications, which has been of great service to
him in conducting the extensive business of
Robson & Whitaker. Early in the history of
the rebellion, when volunteers were needed,
the lamented Lieutenant Robson left pros
porous business and happy home, for the
hardships and dangers of the battle field,
where his life was sacrificed on the altar of his
country. During all the long months and
years since that time, the business has been
conducted by Mr.. Whitaker, with an energy
and application unsurpassed by any other in
this city, and it is largely owing to his indom-
liable perseverance, and superior business
qualifications, that the firm of which he is the
active member is in such prosperous condi-
tion at this time.
Some of the causes of success of the above
named firm may be briefly enumerated viz: :
A thorough knowledge of the business In all
its various branches-close application, with
general oversight over all the Departmental
knowledge of the wants Of the people of this
part of the State--a large and well selected
stock of goods, of superior quality, at reason
able prices-no advantage taken of customers,
the smallest child receiving attention, and
always the full worth of its money--polite and
agreeable statesmen, willing to show goods to
customers, and oblige them if possible-an
almost unlimited credit in the large cities.
which is kept good by purchasing extensively
for cash-the confidence of our entire commu
nifty in the integrity and worthiness of the
firm, and the assurance that whatever is pur-
chased there is of a superior quality, and the
price reasonable-and last, though not least;
the fact that the firm of Robson & Whitaker
advertise extensively, and thus convince the
public that theirs is the place to purchase
good goods, at reasonable prices.

THE CATTLE Law IN FAIRFIELD TOWNSHIP.
Our Fairfield friends intend making applica-
tion to the next Legislature for an act, pre-
venting cattle and sheep running at large in
that township. This is good move, and if
there should be any who oppose it, they will
be convinced, after trying the new law, that it
is good one. The more cattle run at large,
the more risk there is of accident to them.
and in many cases loss. Who has not expe-
rienced the disadvantage of hunting for lost
cattle, and how many have got the i-will of
their neighbors, for letting their cattle roam
at large, and trespass on their property
Only day or two since we were informed, by
farmer who keeps several cows, that he had
just been trying the experiment of keeping
his COWS in their stalls, and proved by it that
they gave more milk, which produced more
butter, than when they were permitted to run
in the barn yard. 1t is customary among the
best farmers in the upper part of this State, who
keep dairy farms, to keep their cattle most of
the time in the stall, and we think our Fairfield
friends will find the new law, when passed an
advantage to their township.

MARKET HOUSE IN BR1peEroN.

Our attention is frequently called to the
Importance of having Market House in this
city, where the farmers and butchers NAV Of
fer for sale the vsrious products of the farm
including meats, fish, oysters, vegetables &c.,
at least twice week, while some would oc.
cupy stalls, from which they would sell every
day such articles as our citizens desire to pur.
chase A Market House has long been needed
in this city, and ifthe city authorities would
have suitable one erected it would not only
be credit to the place, but would be a paw
ing Investment. If the city authorities will
not erect one as a public institution" thew
would, no doubt, grant the privilege to any
number of individuals or company which
might engage in this enterprise A large Mar
ket House in the central part of Bridgetop.
where all of our citizens might resort for the
purchase of eatables, especially on Market
days, would be an institution which, if once es-
tablished, would continue permanently.
dozen stalls or stands could no doubt be rented
at such price per month or year, as would
pay large interest on the amount needed to
erect such house. Our butchers would save
considerable time and expense in driving round
from door to door, and our citizens would have
the advantage of selecting from a much great
er variety such meat as they might desire. 1t
would not necessarily do away with the excell-
ent shops or stores now in our city, but would
enable our butchers to exhibit more extensive
ly their meats and consequently make more
sales. The farmers of the surrounding coun-
try would have an opportunity to bring in their
vegetables and farm produce and offer it for
sale, instead of peddling it from house to house
as they are now in the habit of doing. The
fish and oyster trade which as now conducted
in Bridgetcn is almost a nuisance, would be
very different. Instead of peddling them from
door to door, or exposing them in front of the
hotel until the summer sun makes them so
s'odious" as to compel the Mayor of the city to
have the wagons removed, the fish and oysters
in their season would be found at their appro-
pirate place in the Market House. Some of
the stalls would, no doubt, be rented by the en-
terprising men of our city, who are now en-
gagged in fhe sale of various kinds of produce
and as they have had long experience in the
trade, a "branch establishment" kept up at
slight additional cost would enable them to
dispose of a much larger amount of produce |
than they can with the present facilities. We
give the above thoughts at the suggestion Of
those who are interested in the prosperity Of |
our city.

accomplish his object and fellwith one Of
his feet under the wheels of the car

and when the car had passed over, the
foot was found to be so horribly crushed
and mutilated as to make an amputation
necessary, after which operation it is
thought that his life will be saved Mr..

community the fullest sympathy in his
misfortune. People cannot be too care.
