- CANNED TOMATOES. the New York
evening Post; New Jersey promises to
become as famous for its caaned tomatoes
as for its cranberries, or even its peacher-
Philadelphia and the surrounding region are
trying to rival New Jersey In the specially
OF canning tomatoes for winter use. Now
is the season for this business, and the can
ming factories in Philadelphia, at Camden, al
burlington, at Morristown, at Vineland, at
Bridgeton, and at Salem are all buying as
many tomatoes as the farmers will bring.
New Jersey mainly supplies the great cstab-
iishments at Philadelphia. A single estab-
lishment at Camden will use $4,000 baskets
this season, and it is estimated that ali the
canning factories in the places above named
will consume six million baskets this fall.

A WORD OF CAuTIoN.-We learn that
while the hands of Mr.. Robert Newell were
threshng wheat, a few days ago, the ma
chine took fire from the lubricating oil used
in oiling, but was extinguished without
much damage. They had nearly finished
threshing crop of 81 acres at the time,
which lay in the bulk, the straw being ricktd
near the machine. Had the fire reached tile
ricks of straw, his entire crops Of wheat and
the time, 1t is very probable that. with the
other out-buildings, would have been con
sumed. We also learn that Mr.. Joseph
Waddington, and others, have had their
machines to take fire from the same kind Of
oil, without the boxes becoming much

EXTINCT VOLCANOES IN BERKs County. -
These volcanoes are situated in Ruscomb-
manor township, about miles from Read
ing. Several of the craters are quite distinct
yet, one of them is about 60 feet in diameter
and filled within about feet of the surface
with mud. This has the appearance of be-
ing the last eruption. AT one place the
ground was parted, through which pebbles
Qhe same as are found on the sea shore)
were forced up. There are numerous other
signs which indicate that great subterranean
conyulsions once visited that region. The
place has been investigated this summer by
committee of the Reading Society of Nat
ural Sciences, who are convinced Of the fact
and have brought along for their Cabinet,
numerous specimens of the Float stone,
Chalcedony and Drusy quartz, which are
found in great quantities oE the surface

The prosperity OF the South warrants the
statement that the internal revenue receipts
greater for the present fiscal year than for
the last year. Among the notifications of
the revenue law that will undoubtedly be
recommended TO the next Congress will be
tax Of one cent per pound on cotton. 1t is
believed such n tax will yield fully fifteen
million dollars for a year. This it is pre-
sumed is cogitated with view of relieving
northern manufacturers, and would warrant
the repeal of that portion of the law impos-
ing special taxes.

THE PHLLADELPHIA !" sIyAp p


THE PHILADELPHIA .SVAP,
The new ticket nominated by the Phia-
delphia Democrats, is composed of better
material, as rule, than the old one, although
some Of the latter, as for instance Mr.. Fry,
satfer nothing by comparison with their sue
cessors. The means by which the ''swap'
was made, however, are not little remark
able. The old candidates, it should be re-
membered, were the regular nominees of the
delegate conventions, which assembled
In June. Although it was charged
that some of them succeeded through
fraudulent means, their nominations were
never contested, nor was any effort
made TO re-assemble the Conventions, ex-
ccpt in the care of tho City Treasurship,
where Mr.. Piersol at one time asked Mr..
Fry to sgree to new meeting of the Con-
ycntion, by which the former had been
beaten, request which MIR. Fry decidedly
declined.
But after the candidates had been regular
ly chosen, and had been in the field from
June to September, suddenly one withdraws
aud the rest rapidly follow. Thereupon the
City Committee, without any call OF new
Conventions, or special authority for such
action, proceed to hold brief meeting, and
rapidly arrange an entirely new list of names
which they coolly present to their party as
the regular, simon pure, unadulterated,
Democratic ticket
What is the use of Conventions? What is the
use Of popular nominations? Whynot lot
little Committee arrange aslate, at the outset9
10 these questions it is replied that the use
of ofConventions is to satisfy the McMullins,
Mountjoys, and Aherns, who control them
and the reason why Committee could not
select the ticket at first, is because that inf1u
ential section of the Philadelphia Democra-
cy would thereby be crowded out, without.
either place or profit. As it is, the whole
thing has worked very well for them. Their
Candidates were nominated by the Conven-
lions; those candidates were so unfit and
Unpopular, that they jeopardized the success
OF the whole ticket, and greatly weakened
Alr. Asa Packers chances for the Governor
ship; hence they drove hard bargain with
Asa's friends, received goodly amount Of
purchase money, withdrew from the field,
and left the City Committee to put up whom
hpleased. On the whole, this is a strange
and unusual manner of political proceeding.
u shows, conclusively, the corruptons that
,niest and control the Democratic party in
rhiladelphia, and which 1t must shake of,
oy better method than purchase, if it would
ever deserve the confidence and respect of
an upright and honest community.
