A Model Town In New Jersey.


The following report appeared in the
Philadelphia Morning Post, of April
~, 1868, 1t gives a succint, birds eye
view of Vineland almost up to date:
There is young fiourishing, and
enterprising, town over in New Jersey,
some thirty miles from Philadelphia
the name of which we doubt not, is
more familiar to the people of New
England than 10 the business men Of
our great city. Up TO near the close Of
1861 its site was wilderness.
To-day il numbers a population of
ten thousand souls; has three post
offices, one of them doing business in
excess of any other in West Jersey;
has noble Yankee village, boosting
all the adjuncts Of modern civilization,
viz, schools, churches, stores, mills,
manufactures, Literary, musical and be-
nevolent societies, ibraries, public halls
and parks, lone of the latter consisting
of 4S acres and with many elegant
and costly private residences; has 1870
miles of stree's and roads, several Of
them over nine miles in length, straight
as a surveyor can make them, and lined
on each side with young shade trees;
has hundreds of fruit farms, orchards
and gardens, the latter in their season
blooming with tens OF thousands Of
flowers has six or seven agricultural,
horticultural and pomological societies,
most of them holding weekly meetings
for the collection and dissemination of
facts relating to farming and fruit grow
ing, besides a Floral Society managed
entirely by la lies; has admirable taste
in the matter of public adornments,
and none at all for rum shops and
liquor saloons, which it every year
unanimously votes to remain out ''in
the cold" OF such a community il
need hardly be said that they are en-.
ergetic, intelligent and enterprising or
are afraid of hard work and sunshine.
In spite Of al the natural obstacles at
tending the settlement of such a pace,
coupled with the awindling success OF
certain nurseymen in palming worth
less plants upon them for one or two
seasons, they last year, as one of their
crops, furnished their own maket and
those of Philadelphia and New York
with over three hundred thousand
thousand quarts of strawberries tnearly
ten thousend bushels, and in'end this
year, with a respectable season, to
greatly increase, if not to double this
large amount, and in addition, to pro.
duce corresponding amount Of other
small fruits, besides grapes, pears,
peaches, and the other luscious fruits,
and the various vegetable products for

VAtion of the Constitution, for Equal

pend sales of property under execu-
ton for three months; also inviting
one of the Solicitors of the State to
