GENERAL.
The Complaint OF the Ministers.

To tse Editor Of he Commercial
The late action of the Preachers and under
takers of this city, in attempting to provide
uniformity Of action at funerals, has provoked a
considerable amount OF unmerited criticism. Its
ertent arises, probably, from lack of knowledge
of the sub iect under consideration. The MEM
bers OF the conference which adopted the re-.
Communications (not resolutions) were impelled
to this course by q desire to obviate irreguaTi-
ties and to remedy some inconveniences of a
very unpleasant character. We will give them
our attention briefly:
lat. 1t not unfrequently happens that when
two hours are named in connection with the SCR
vice. the friends of the family and others are
misled and fail to be pun3tual. sometimes ar
irving after the service is over and often in the
midst OF the service. This is particularly the
case when the hour il communicated by one
person to another
2nd. The preaching of funeral sermons, as a
rule, is thank-you job. Ministers very fre-
quently have to preach two during the day.
walking from quarter of a mile to II mile aud
a half each time, when carriages are collected at
the house and standing there idle. II certainly
il not an unreasonable request that nsuch cases
a carriage be sent for the minister.
Sd. 1he complaint this recommendation il de-
signed to obvate il both natural and reasonable.
Public speakers are well aware of the difficulty
in addressing empty benches, but how much
more difficult must 1t be for minister to preach
funeral sermon standing halfway flight of
stairs, with the family above and the friends in
the parlor, speaking TO the hat rack or some Gu
lious passer by who turns his head in wonder
ment to gaze upon the audienceless minister
Such requirement ID unjust to the preacher
aud his remarks fail to have that effect they
would if he confronted his audience face to face.
4th. The sabbath is the hardest day of labor
with the minister, and it is not right that fune-
rails should be hurried up or deferred 80 to
fall specially on that day. II they occur in the
ordinary course of events upon that day, no OBJ
lection is urged the intent il only to cheokmate
growing disposition towards Sunday funerals
IN order to obtain larger cortege.
These are the plain, unvarnished complaints
of the ministers-so plausible, in fact, that
defense is needed. They are not fit subjects of
ridicule, and he who attempts it but shows All
unehantableness of spirit which borders closely
upon narrow-minded prejudice.

New Jersey Peaches.

A FLATTERINd PRosPECT-ExTENT OF THE CROP
There ID scarcely tree in Union county"
saws the Journal, THAT has not show OF
peaches on il, and by nothing else than hurri-
caue or a. -hail storm can they De injured. We
are assured also that the fruit will DO of finer
quality than in years gone by. In South Jersey
the prospect is most tlattering. Through Bur
lngton, Atlantic, Monmouth and other counties
it is unusually large, and great preparations are
being made Tor forwarding it to market.
"lhere will lie daily train over the Pennsylva-
mia Central road run to New York expressly to
carry peaches. Last year the train numbered
frequently over sixty cars we expect to see it
longer this year. The beauty of the peach crop
is tnat it continues 30 long in our Market last
IN over three months. After the southern crop
ID exhausted, HunterdOn and the neighboring
counties will send forward their supply.
I'VE learn that the crop west of us ls also i'm
mense. The trees are filled with better looking
peaches, and more of them, than for any year in
a long tune. The Central road will, as usual run
peach train over the South Branch to accom-
mOdate the growers, many of whom of late years
have been sending their fruit to Boston. The
Morris county crop is the latest in New Jersey,
though NewYork state sends us some pretty fan
peaches later.
Around Green Village, New Vernon, Baskin-
gridge, MUrIistuwn, &c, the crop will be large.
MIR. samuel Roberts, of Green Village, has an
orchard which will produce probably 800 bas'
kets, over twice as much as it did last year,
Several parties near New Vernon expect then
