SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION.

The season when these pleasant modes of
interesting the children of our communities
are largely practiced is upon us, and every day
almost, large gatherings Of the many romping
youngsters may be seen in appropriate places,
enjoying themselves after the most approved
fashions of nature. We are glad to see the
prevalence OF this custom, and know of nothing
better calculated to meet the instructive neces-
sty for amusement in the young, and at the
same time preserve them from the evil effects
of the manner in which amusement is gener-
ally sought, than the recreation of Sabbath
School picnic excursions. A serious objection
to these in the past, has been that, as the
places selected did not belong to the excur-
sionists, it was impossible to control the
presence of many undesirable associates, who
would thrust themselves in, and by ther riot
GUS conduct mar, if not destroy the genial
harmony of the occasion. Another difficulty
was found in not being always able to secure
good place for the occasion, and still another
in the amount of time and expense necessary
to construct seats and tables, and other ac-
cessories to the fete, while more serious
matter still was place for shelter If it hap
pened to rain. These difficulties have all been
met in the excursion ground prepared for such
occasions at Union, by the West Jersey Rail-
road Company. They have arranged most
beautiful piece of woods at that place, situated
at about half way between Bridgeton and Phil
adelphia, thoroughly cleared and drained it,
seated it in the pleasantest style, prepared
tables and other accommodations, both for
comfort and pleasure, and erected tasteful
building, where the excursionists can be Sc
cure from rain or sun, or where they can seat
themselves to read or rest, as the case may
happen to be On last year we attended one
of these picnics with Bridgeton Sabbath
School, and found it to be the best place in
all respects of which we then knew, and this
year with the added accommodations, the
pleasure, of course, will be proportionately
increased There was carefuness exercised
by the conductors also, in reference to the
heedlessness of children, which impressed us
very favorably, and which is of more impor-
tance in matter of this kind than would at
first sight appear. Quite number of Sab
bath Schools have already availed themselves
of this spot for their excursions this year, and
we think our Brdgeton schools will do well
in settling their arrangements to try this ad-
mirable ground. Too much credit can scarce
ly be awarded to the President and Superin-
tendent of the road, for the expense and
trouble to which they have gone in their eff
forts to accommodate the taste of the public
in this particular.

Hammonton Republican has the following par
agraph in reference to the services Of Hon,
WILLIAM MOORE, the Representative from this
distric.
ssAnother infamous piece OF business ofrebel
origin was in the effort to build a new iail.-
Congress authorized the building of one at
cost not to exceed 100000. The giving Of
the contract was entrusted to Department
here and given out to well known, active
rebels from Baltimore, under such loose spec
lfcations that it was proven that it would cost
from $500,00O to ST. 100000 Fortunately the
scheme was exposed at the start through the
energy of the Committee on Public Buildings,
Of which your member, Hon. VIM. Moore, is
one of the most capable, efficient and untiring
members, laboring in season and out, until the
exposure was conclusively made, of one Of the
most complete, grand attempts of swindle we
have had for years. In this one matter alone
vour member has acted materially in saving
fhree-auarters of million of dollars to the
Government, Thousands Of dollars were
raised by the swindlers to bribe the members
Of the committee, but of no avail. All honor

M. E. CHURCH AT M1LLvILLE,

The work upon this new and splendid build
ing is at last fairly inaugurated. Delays had
occurred in the removal of the old town hall,
upon whose site the edifce is to be erected
But week or SO ago all was clear and the
masons commenced the work at once. The
foundation is being rapidly laid, and the COM
ing fourth of July fixed as the time for the
laying Of its corner stone. The day is in
tended to be great one in the history of the
church, connecting as it will with the ceremo.
nial inauguration of a house in which the
members and their children will worship for
the next generation; house too whose archi-
tectural embellishment will be in harmony
with the refined taste which is now happily
demanded in all buildings of public worship.
They celebrate the day with festival and
dinner, those inseparable adjuncts to every
public occasion; the presence of bishop James
is expected both to address the people and lay
the corner stone. Rev. DR.. Bartine is to de-
liver his celebrated oration on ssWashington.n .
an grafton SO popular that the New Jersey
Legislature once occupied a morning session
IN listening to its delivery, adjourning all
other business for the purpose. The Presiding
Elder and adjoining preachers will take part
In the exercises. The Millville Cornet Band
will furnish music for the day. and altogether
1t is intended to be one which shall be marked
in the history Of the city. The pastor, Rev.
Mr.. Street, is in good spirits and expects to
see the church occupied by the coming winter,
and II the utmost persistence can accomplish
it, all who know him feel sure it will be done.

BRIDGEToN & PoRT NORRIS RA1LRoAD.-We
have so frequently urged the importance of
Railroad between this city and Port Norris,
that further arguments in favor of it are scarce
" necessary. We have shown by facts and
figures that the road would be paying one, and
yet, many of them are still unbelievers, and we
are sorry to say some are opposed to it. The
same was the case years ago when the Pioneer
advocated Railroad between Bridgeton and
Philadelphia, and with column after column
of arguments and facts those opposed to it were
finally convinced that it would eventually pay /.
We are glad to know that the people along the
line between here and Port Norris are waking
up to the importance of having Railroad. A
meeting is to be held at Cedarville, on Saturday
of this week, at which speeches will be made
by Hon. John L. Nixon, Hon. Chas Brown, of
Philadelphia, and F. F. Westcott, Esq.

70 The Foundry M. E. Church, of Mill
vile, have, at considerable expense just
completed the reftting of their church, and
made it one of the most beautiful edifces in
the city. The entire inside woodwork is
grained in imitation of oak, the ceiling is most
beautifully fresco papered and vanished, the
pulpit is entirely remodeled, and all its sur
lroundings are in the most elegant taste.-
They have also advanced the salary Of their
pastor until there is no fear as to comfortable
support, standing now, as they do, upon the
level of the more prominent churches of the
denomination in our state. The progress of
this society has latterly been very rapid, and,
situated as it is, in the midst Of rapidly in
creasing population. with pastor deservedly
popular, tits almost certain that before long
it will equal, both in numbers and influence,
any organisation in our section.

CORNER STONE.

The corner stone OF the new Methodist
Episcopal church, at Pittstown, was laid on
Thursday afternoon, of last week. The after
noon was pleasant; and gathering of consid-
cradle size assembled on the ground at the ap-
pointed time. The services were introduced
by the Presiding Elder, after which Rev. Mr..
Cam read the prayer, and short address
made by Rev. Mr.. Lippincott; of Glassboro'.
The Rev. gentleman had been preacher in
Oregon, and the details of bis observation
were of most interesting character.
Some excellent singing was then given, after
which Rev. Mr.. Morris addressed the people
on the power of instrumentdlities in the accom-
plishment of great objects, and showed how
the smallest service that might be rendered in
Mr.. Maddox also spoke on the advancement
of the Gospel, by the outward means of erect
ing churches. Rev. Mr.. Calder, of Willow
Grove, was called on for an address, but de-
piece called ssThe Rock" as expressive Of his
ideas Of the corner stone. The hymn was
listened TO with both attention and emotions
thus proving its power over the audience
Rev. Mr.. Edwards, of Union, was the next
speaker, and drew several analoges between
men and other things, which were both well
delivered and pleasantly received. A state
ment was made by the pastor, Mr.. Hiesley,
of the condition Of the church, from which il
appeared that the building is to be 40 by go
feet, with basement, finished in good style,
that s., 300 are already on subscription, and
that festival and supper was in progress to
aid in its erection. This latter announcement
appeared to be received with considerable sat
isfaction, and after a collection and the laying
of the corner stone by the Presiding Elder,
with the ministers and Trustees, the people
adjourned generally to the supper table, where
according to the prevalent fashion, the gen.
erosity of the American pocket is reached
through the American palate.

NEW BELLS.

The new Baptist church, on Pearl Street, on
Wednesday of last week, tested their new bell,
and the ears Of our citizens were regaled dur
ing the day, by succession of sweet sounds
as preliminary to those which hereafter are to
mingle with the others of our city, in summon
ing The people to the affairs of their worship.
The sound is clear, full, sonorous and sweet,
and the bell will add its full quota to the har-
monies Of Bridgeton. The Commerce Street
Baptist church is also taking measures to pro-
ceed with the erection of their spire, and also
to the purchase of bell We are glad to see
the spirit of enterprise displayed by the de-
nomination in our city, and trust that their
reward may be found in the increased success
Of their church..
