Vineland.

This famous and hourishing town
was founded upon the principle that
no land should be sold except in
small tracts to actual settlers, and
that no grog-shops or licensed liquor
saloons should be tolerated. T. T.
Curtis, Esq, Overseer of the poor,
makes the following report:
Though we have a population of
ten thousand people, for the period
of six months no settler or citizen of
Vineland has required relief at my
hands as overseer Of the poor. With
in seventy days there has only been
one case among what we call the
floating population: at the expense of
$4.
During the entire year, there has
only been one indictment, and that q
triAing case Of assault and battery
among our colored population.
So few are the fires in Vineland
that we have no need of Fire De-
partment. There has only heen one
house burnt down in a year, and two
slight fires which were soon put out.
We practically have no debt, and
our taxes are only one per cent on
the valuation.
The Police expenses Of Vineland
amount to SIG per year, the sum paid
to me; and our poor expenses a mere
triae.
| ascribe this remarkable state of
things, so nearly approaching the gol-
den age, to the industry of our people
and the absence of king Alcohol.
LET me give you, in contrast to
this, the state Of things in the town
from which | came, in New England.
The population of the town was nine
thousand five hundred, a little less
than that of Vineland. 1t maintains
forty liquor-shops. These kept busy

Paddy, attending "Broad-brim"
convention for the first time, was much
astonished at the manner of worship.
Having been told that they "spake
even as they were moved by the spir-
it," he watched the proceedings with
increasing disgust for their "haythen
way of warship," till one young Qua
ker arose and commenced solemnly:
Brethren, l have just married."
"The devil ye have" interrupted
Pat.
The Quaker sat down in confusion
but the spirit moving Pat no further
the young man mustered courage and
broke out again:
"Brethren, | have married a daught

"The devil ye have that p said Pat
"but it'll be long time before ivel

Cur THIS OUT AND KEEP IT.--Frank-
lin Dyre, a highly respectable and in
telligent farmer Of Galena, Kent Co.,
Nd, gives the following as a sure cure
for the bite of a mad dog. AS will
be seen, he has tested it with the most
gratifying results:
Elecampane is a plant well known
to most persons, and is to be found
in many of our gardens. Immediately
after being bitten take one and hall
ounce of the root of the plant-the
green root is perhaps preferable, but
the dried will answer, and may be
found in our drug stores, and was
used by me-slice or bruise, put il
into a pint of fresh milk, boil down tc
half pint, strain, and when cold drink
it, fasting at least six hours after
wards. The next morning, fasting
repeat the dose prepared as the last
and this will be sufficient. 1t is rec
commended that after each dose moth
ing be eaten for at least six hours.
l have a son who was bitten by ;
mad dog eighteen years ago, and fou
other children in the neighborhooC
were also bitten; they took the abov,
dose and are alive and we'll to thi
day. And have known a number o
others who were bitten and applied
the same remedy.
It's supposed thatth root contain
a principle which, being taken up b.
the blood in its circulation, counter
acts or neutralizes the deadly effect
Of the virus of hydrophobia.
| feel so much confidence in thi
simple remedy that l am willing yo
should give my name in connection
with this statement.

II Don't Believe That i"

ihe well known, DR.. Fletcher, of Stepney,
was once requested to visit man who profess
ed to be a skeptic Speaking to him of his
need OF salvation, he pointed kindly and earn
estly to Christ, as the only and all-sufheient
Saviour, who gave himself as a ransom for sim
ners that they, through him, might obtain for
giyeness, and be reeonciled to God. M
Hearing this, the dying man, .'Sir, l don't

saying" "t0cd -aeyo iusr53 .5Tla -
But, said DR.. Fletcher, ''you sag you irish
you could; aud that, if you are sincere, is
great, point towards attaining it. Now, what
do you believe concerning Jesus Christ ?''
Why he replied, II believe that such
man once lived. and that He was very good
and perfectly sincere man but that is all"
1t was principle with DR.. Fletcher, when
reasoning with uubelievers, if they acknowledge
the smallest portion of truth, to make this a
posltlon-a starting point, from which to go on
and argue with them. So he said, You be.
lleve then that Jesus Christ was truly good
man. Now, do you think good man would
wish to deceive others, or that a sincere man
would use language that must mislead, and that
In things of the highest Importance
Certainly not. he replied
q 'Then,' said Dr. Fletcher, ''how do YOU re-
concile your admission, that He was a good
man, with his saying, and my Father are
one? And when they took UP stones to kill
Him, He did not undeceive them, but still as
serted the fact of His divinity, adding, MY
sheep hear my voice, and they follow me, and

Holding up his emaciated hand, as if fearing
that even a breath might obscure a new light
breaking in upon his darkened SOUL and with
countenance lighted up with an indescribabe
expression of mingled wonder and joy, but with
eyes intently fixed on DIR. Fletcher, he exclaim-
ed after short pause, and while the big tears
were rolling down his cheeks, ''Sir, you are a
