10 DR.. l. Winner, one of the most intellec-
tual and able divines of the Methodist Epsco-
pal church, in New Jersey was buried from
the residence of his son-in-law, at Delanco, on
Wednesday of last week. He had long been
prominent in the councils of the church, for
several sessions member of the general con-
ference, had filed the office of Presiding
Elder, and there was probably no man in
the Methodism of New Jersey whose opinions
possessed more weight or exercised wider
influence. At the last session of the New
Jersey Conference, although scarcely able to
stand. he made one Of the most effective
speeches of his life in opposition to the prin-
ciple oflay delegation. Hewas unable to attend
the session ofthe general conference, to which
the conference had chosen him, and steadily
declined in health, until on last Monday morn
ing week he died in the highest enjoyment of
christian experience. An eloquent funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. DR.. Bartine, of
Trenton.

SUNDAY SCHOOL EXCURSION.

On Wednesday of this week, the two Sab
bath schools connected with the Methodist
Episcopal church. in our city, made an ex-
curslon to the splendid excursion ground of
the West Jersey Railroad, at Union, near
Glassboro
The excursion passed off in the pleasantest
manner, and afforded the fullest enjoyment to
the children in whose behoof it was gotten up.
The large timber shaded the ground from the
rays of the sun, and the absence of under
brush gave as free a circulation of air as the
heated term rendered it possible to receive,
and the good things which had been provided
for the occasion, were eaten with relish
which would have been impossible in the hot
rooms Of a dwelling. If any body would know
how good food may be made to taste in this
hot weather, they have only to pack up a bas-
ket full and go with some pleasant company
into the woods, on on excursion with the chill
dren of a Sabbath School. The Railroad
Company exert themselves in every possible
manner to make these excursions contribute
to the comfort of the people who may partic-
ipate in them, and the care of their conduc.
tors and engineers, in reference TO the youth
full passengers, is worthy of all commendation.

THE CROPS.

The present season has been all that the
farmers could desire for the production and
ripening of the various crops. Hay is more
abundant than for many years past. Large
quantities stacked in the fields as :he pres
ent barn room is not sufficient to contain the
enormous yield. Good timothy and clover
hay is selling at eight dollars per ton in the
field, or ten dollars delivered in the barn any
where within reasonable distance. There
has perhaps never been as much hay cut in
this par. of the State in a single season. The
wheat and rye crops are turning out exceed
ingly well, and the price keeps up higher than
it will probably be in short time. The oat
crop promises good yield, and potatoes look
well. The early crop was somewhat short
ened by the dry spell, but the late potatoes,
which are the principal crop promises large
yield. Vegetables and garden produce are
very abundant, and berries begin to come into
market. The cherry crop is comparatively
failure, and pears and apples will not be so
abundant as usual The peach crop of New
Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware will be very
light. Some of our dealers who have hereto
fore found no difficulty in purchasing large
quantities in advance, find it difficult to engage
what they want on account of the unfavorable
prospect. Grapes, which are becoming SO
extensively cultivated in South Jersey, prom
Use very large yield the present season; the
vines are loaded, and the number of vines are
multiplied by tens of thousands. Our Vine
land neighbors are cultivating the grape very
extensively, and the soil and climate here is
peculiarly adopted to their growth. Land
which two or three years since was not worth
more than thirty dollars per acre, now in vine
yards is worth several hundred dollars, and
the product of this season alone will amount
to hundreds of dollars per acre.

"Gilt Edged" Grant Literature,

We are indebted to the New York Bond
holders (who pay no taxes, and can there
fore afford the expense, for another work
on the movement to elect Grant as their
peculiar candidate. This document is a
pamphlet of forty pages, giving the pro-
ceedings and speeches at the Cooper Insti-
tute meeting, Dec. 4th. We are as little
obliged for the pamphlet as we were for
the circular. We have but little time to
devote to the study of the pursuits of the
aristocrats and dry goods dealers, the
spectators and bondholders. We have so
much to attend to, out West, in raising
money to pay taxes, that We cannot read
the long speeches aud silly balderdash of
a mob Of gentlemen who make it their
boast that they comprise "the worth and
wealth and intelligence" Of New York
City, and are "not usually found at politi-
cal gatherings" Neither do We support
Grant or any other bondholders' candidate
for President. We want man of the
people, and Go not want any more Of the
"git edged" circulars and pamphlets of
the Grant committee.-&. Paul Pioneer.
We are in receipt of the same style of
documents. The silkstockings of the
great Metropolis have money enough to
flood the country with documentary proof
of Grants " eminent capacity" but with
all the appliances OF money they cannot
induce reasoning men to accept a candi-
date who has too little confidence in him
self to express an opinion, or too little in
the people to favor them with the views he
entertains. A man who wrote "private"
letter to the President imploring him not
to remove Stanton, and in few days after
stepped into Stanton's war 2fdce shoes,
does not exactly represent that order of
honor which characterizes even mediocre
ty in officials much less that sans peur ct
sans reproche which we ought to expect
in the General Of the Army Of the U. S.
That Grants success in the nominating
Convention is doubted ny his friends is
lea, ned from the extra noise they are max
ing,-they are whistling among the tombs,
and if Jerichos would fall nowadays
before rams horns and other domon-likc
music, then possibly Grant may be nomin-
atcd. His election then is far from cer-
tain. The reviewers Of the radical legions
are getting sicker daily.
Gen. Garfield, writing from Congress to
the Ashtabula (Ohio) Sentinel, says, !" the
Presider tial outlook is anything but plea
saat." The Washington correspondent of
che New York Independent says last week,
F" there is immense danger Of a defeat neat
a,stwmn." AL the federal of6ce-holders
under the civil tenure act, want to hold on
four years more and consequently are ter
ribly alarmed at the prospect of defeat.
