| Thursday Of each week. Notwithstanding
the large amount of travel from that section
of the country, by the Bridgeton q Port
Norris Railroad, Mr.. Campbell has about as
much as he can attend to, with his accom-
mediation line. There is considerable travel
from Ragtown, Turkey Point and other out
of the way places, which can be best accom-
modaJed by him. Farmers and others in
the neighborhood of Dividing Creek, and
along the stage route, patronize Mr.. Camp
bell quite extensively, by sending poultry,
eggs, fish, oysters berries, &C., to the
Bridgeton market. SO much poultry has
been brought by this line, that it is known
by many as the ''poultry line;' and as it is
patronized considerably by the Ladies of that
locality, it is known by others as the two

There resides in Millyille, one Of the most
wealthy ministers of the n. J. NJ. f. Con-
! ference, who deposites all his spare cash in
the Millville National Bank. His penman-
! ship is somewhat similar to that of Horace
Greeley, SO there is an understanding, that
all checks, presented at the bank, which
cannot be deciphered, shall be charged to
his account. He expects, some time, to be
a millionaire, and a few days ago, he was SO
expressing himself to a friend, and spoke Of
his yearly gains since entering the ministry.
! His friend thereupon calculated the time to
/ take for him to attain a million, if placed
at compound interest, and found it was
mere question of time--a trihe over five
thousand years.
| Rev. r. Thorn, who, according to the
Millville Republican, was recently SO nearly
killed by the injury to his eye, has SO far
recovered the use of both eyes, as to be able
to sit under the trees at Pitman Grove, from
six o'clock in the morning, until three in
the afternoon, perusing ponderous volumes
for the improvement of his mind.
| We have received from Rev. &. K. Nor

try. The delegates received hearty well
come from the lodge in Glasgow, being met
on landing. by representation of the
Grand Lodge of Scotland. Some of the
representatives will soon visit England, and
the prospects are that the trip to the Old
World will be fraught with interest to the
entire party.
AN OLD SwILL BUCKET.-We were in
formed few days since, by resident OF
Dividing Greek, that his neighbor has
swill bucket, in tolerable condition, which
he has had in use for forty years. The
bucket is the same, in all its parts, with the
exception of one new hoop. We will ven
ture to say that the owner of that swill
bucket was never away from home much;
! less servants long in his employ; that he did
not raise over forty pigs year, on an aver
age, and that the bucket was seldom left
lying in the pen over night.
