men of the convention recognized the
magnanimity of Mr. Walsh in the fullest
degree, and when the speeches of Mr.. J..
Y. Foster and Attorney General Robson
upon this point were closed, the auditors
gave three hearty cheers for the man
who had SO nobly risen above selfish con-
siderations for the sake of success in the
principles which in his Judgment were
essential to the welfare of the State.
1t is an honor of which any man may
be justly proud to be selected as the rep
resentative of either of the great parties
in New Jersey; but it is higher honor
still, for the reasons we have assigned, TO
decline that position when 1t was falrly

meet the highest recognition that It may

CITY OF BRIDGETON.

This new and beautiful steamer, which was
to have made her complimentary trip last
week, was necessarily delayed until Wednes-
day of this one, when, with large party of
ladies and gentlemen, she steamed gracefully
down the creek on the excursion. Captain
Mcintyre and the directors had everything
arranged in the most complete style, and she
sat upon the water with queenly beauty
that involuntarily inspired just pride in the
vessel which bears our city name. The party
proceeded in the merriest manner to Salem,
where dinner was partaken, to which the
guests with appetites sharpened both by good
humor and the fresh air from the water, did
ample justice.
The East Lake Band enlivened the occasion
with excellent music, and refreshments were
served on board by G. Albertson. The City of
Bridgeton will make an excursion to Cape
Island in about two weeks.

STAGES AND SrAGEMEN. Since this section
Of our State has been furnished with Rail-
roads, we have 10 long stage routes, as was
the ease years ago, when it took most Of the
day to get from Bridgeton to Philadelphia.
The men who owned the stage lines between
b ere and Philadelphia. thirty or forty years
ago, have long since retired from active bust
ness life. The tomb stone marks the resting
placeof Mark Lloyd, SO well known as pop
ular stageman, and his partner in business,
VIM. Parvin, is among our most worthy re-
tired citizens. Captain Clark and Frank
Langley took their nags and stages from the
courie when the iron horse came snorting
throigh the forests of South Jersey. We
would not convey the idea that we are with
out stages in this part Of the State. New
lines have been established and old ones re-
vived. There are stages running from Bridge.
ton 10 Shiloh, Roadstown, Greenwich, Fairton,
Cedarville, Newport, Dividing Greek, Milyille,
and other places in this section, most of which
are doing good business. The distances are
shsrt to the neighboring towns and villages,
and the travel is principally to and from the
cars. Perhaps the best and most profita BILE
line Of stages in this county, is that between
the cities Of Bridgeton and Millville, owned by
Mr.. Orlando Gibbon. The distance is ten
miles over an excellent gravel turnpike. The
fare is so low, and the drivers so accommodat-
ing that there is no use in any one thinking of
running an opposition. 1t is often the case
tha: after series of years in business persons
become less obliging than formerly, but in the
case of Mr.. Gibbon, and his worthy associate,
s'Joseph," it is otherwise; the longer they are
in the business. the more popular they become,
and those who complain that the Bridgeton &
Millville line moaopolizes the road, should re-
mem Der that just such monoplies are great
benefit to the travelling public, and we shall be
sorry at any time to see an opposition started
on the Bridgeton and Mlllville road. The
present line affords ample accommodations,
the fare is as low as any one can afford to put
it, and more competent and worthy drivers
cannot be found anywhere. If only one or
two more passengers wish to go than can be
accommodated by the regular line, an ssextra'
is put on, at the expense of the proprietor,
and none left behind to wait until q more con-
venient season. While our stagemen are all
worthy and oblging, we think none can excel
Mr.. Gibbon.

CITY AND COUNTRY.

so intense as almost to ssroast one alive" the
inhabitants of the large cities, who can afford

cannot afford this expensive luxury, and desire
to be considered among those who can. take
the pains to close their dwellings, and instruct
their servants to say to all callers that ssthe
family are not at home, they have gone to the

grand blunders. and say to the callers that

Such would-be aristocracy is sooner or later

when business is dull in the city, as it
always is during the hot weather, it is we'll for
those who can afford it to spend portion of
the summer in the country, where the air is
free from the smoke and impurities of the
city, and whore the cares of business can be
thrown off for time, and the system be re-
laxed and prepared for the arduous duties
which await the citizen on his return. Active

brief period each year, and those live longest
VINO take some time to recuperate their over
taxed energies. The country at this season of
the year is most exhilerating when one can
seek some shady nook and free himself from
the cares of life. The boating and fishing
parties, the bathing in some crystal stream.
the picnic parties in the grove, the carriage.
drives in the cool of the day, and the beautiful
sights which greet the eye while passing
through richly cultivated agricultural dis
trict, all add to the pleasures of the country.
Those who prefer the fashionable watering
places by the seaside and the excitement and
show which prevail there, can have it to per-
fection at Cape Island, but those who prefer
the quiet of a country place will find some of
our towns in South Jersey very pleasant
places to spend portion of the summer.

MARKETING BLAcKBERRIEs.

Sometime since a gentleman hvlng
near Dividing Greek, in this county, re-
lated to us his experience in taking a
wagon load of blackberries to the Phlla-
delphia market, before the cars COM
menced running from Brideeton, and at a
time when there was no steamboat run
ming between here and that city
The berries were placed in large boxes,
containing bushel or more each. The
wagon was loaded and the establishment,
IA one horse affair." started on the
journey, distance of sixteen miles to
Bridgeton, and forty more from here to
Philadelphia. The weather was warm,
as usual in blackberry time, the horse
having been exposed to the green heads
and mosquitoes during the season hadn't
any blood to spare, (not being blooded
animal, and consequently needed all the
strength he could muster, to reach his
destination. On arriving at Camden, or
perhaps Red Bank ferry, (the shortest
route being most desirable,) it was dis
covered that the berries had settled con-
siderably, and would not measure as
much as when they started. The effect
of the heat and jolting upon the berries
had also caused them to assume somewhat
of liquid state, and to filter through the
small crevices of the wagon. By the
time they arrived in Philadelphia it was
discovered that their natural sweetness
was rapidly disappearing, and the quicker
they were disposed Of, the better for the
owner. Some were sold at nominal
price and some given away. One lot was
traded to liquor merchant for a gallon
of brandy, (not SO valuable in those days
as now). The load having been disposed
of, and the proceeds expended for some
oats for the faithful animal, and provis-
ions for the owner, (enough perhaps to
last till they arrived at Dividing Creek,)
they started homeward, the blackberry
merchant rejoicing in the assurance of
having gallon of the pure stuff in return
for his load. when suddenly his horse
began to show signs of giving out, and
down he went in the harness. There
was no remedy at hand but the brandy,
and that seemed to revive and timber up
the animal. The giviug-out process was
repeated and the remedy applied until
the brandy was nearly gone. How much
of the liquor was consumed by the de-
jected owner of the blackberry establish
ment, we were not informed, but we un-
derstand that that was his last trip to
Philadelphia with that kind of convey
ance.
We relate the above to show the coD-
venience and comfort, to say nothing
about the profit, of marketing berries
without Railroad or Steamboat facilities.
We trust the day is not far distant when
there will be Railroad from Bridgeton
to Port Norris, which will open up
section of country possessing many
natural advantages, and capable of pro.
ducing enough, with the extensive
oyster trade and passenger travel, to
make the road paying institution.

BRUNA's EXCURSION Our readers will see
by advertisement in another column, that j.
P. Bruna, of Salem, announces his fourth
annual excursion from Salem and Bridgeton to
Cape Island, on Wednesday, the 22d of July.
This will no doubt be the excursion Of the
season. Mr.. Bruna has had more experience
in getting up excursions than any other person
in this part of the State, and he never fails to
give entire satisfaction. Those who accom-
panied him last year to the Island, can testify
that Brnna knows how to conduct excursions
under the most unfavorable circumstances.
and we can assure all who may go this season.
that no pains will be spared to make the trip
a pl leasant one. When man OF enterprise
and perseverance, like Bruna, takes the re-
sponsibility and risk Of getting up excursions
and puts them through, in good style, snake
or break. he should be encouraged Let our
citizens and farmers turn out on the 22d, lnst.'
and show Mr.. Bruna that they appreciate tne
manner in which he gets up excursions
