The Mt. Holly Mirror Republican)
has this to say to Congressman Haz-
elton:
Hazelton, of New Jersey, trains with
those who pocketed the "swag.' With
two good farms, John, and know
ledge that your services were never
worth to yourself or anybody else more
than half the old salary, could you not
resist the temptation to put this money
into your purse? The reputation gam
ed by alife well spent is certainly worth
more than five thousand dollars, John.
Though rather tardy, it is not too late
vet. Send it back, John, send it back.
Shake off the millstone-and you will
feel happier than the money can ever
make you.

LARGE YIELD OF WHEAT.-Last week,
there was harvested on the farm of Thos.
Hustled, Back Neck, Fairfield Township,
about nine acres of as handsome wheat as
has been grown in this county the present
season. Various estimates were made as to
the number of bushels it would turn out per
acre. Some pretty good judges estimating
it at forty bushels per acre. If any other
township in this part of the State can pro-
duce larger yield per acre, we should like
to hear of it. The wheat crop, the present
season, in many portions of this county
has been fully up to the average.

SPEND YOUR MONEY AT HOME.

There is nothing which tends more
to the prosperity of town or city,
than the encouragement of homeindus-
tries, and keeping money in circulation
at home, instead of supplying all the
wants from abroad One way of re-
tanning money at home, is for those
who offer articles for sale, to keep
what is Of the best quality, and sell at
prices as reasonable as can be procured
elsewhere. There is no reason why
our Bridgeton merchants should not
sell goods in their line, on as reasona-
BILE terms as they can be procured in
the larger cities. Many of our mer-
chants sell their goods on better terms
than can be purchased at the retail
stores of Philadelphia or New York;
and yet it is surprising to know of the
large amount of goods purchased il
the city by country customers, when
they could procure as good quality
Of goods, at a less price at home
This is more especially the case in those
places where the merchants have not
enough enterprise to advertise hber
ally; but in Bridgeton, where our mer
chants keep large stock of excellent
goods at such reasonable prices, and
advertise extensively, there is no reason
why they should not be literally pa
tronized, and they who advertise most
largely, and sell on the best terms, are
the most prosperous. In reference to
the above named subject, the Salem
Sunbeam says:
"There is not so much money in this
place that we can afford to have any of
it go away from us, and it has been
one of those much discussed questions
without solution-how to keep our
here. Some of our best citizens,
those who have money and pay cash,
do their trading in Philadelphia under
the plea of a more extensive variety
and cheaper prices, and thisis no donbt |
true but it must be remembered also
that if our traders were properly en-
,ouraged-if they received this very
,ustom-they would be better able to
increase their stocks and to sell cheap
sr. They are quite as liberal and en-
as the average traders else
where, but if they lose the cash business
md only retain the credit, how can we |
expect them to do otherwise than as
hey do?
While we say this much in favor of
,ur business men, we take the liberty
# saying also that it is equally the
lutv of the customer to urge upon the
notice of the seller all that can be of
benefit to either party or to the city at
arge Our interests are in common.
The merchant has to pay rent and tax
IS, and it is to our interestto enable him
o do so. Every dollar that is spent
lere relieves in some degree the gen
raj burthens, and both by our counsel
nd our money would we encourage
he growth of trade and the prosperity
f the city. If we find that too great
price is charged, we can at least re-
nonstrate; and if we do not find what
7e want and the lack of which there is
% excuse for, we shonld 'sraise a row.

Joseph Clement, one of our most sue
cessful farmers of Deptford Township, last
week took to market three baskets of to-
matoes, from which he realized eighteen
dollars. THIS is the earliest we have heard
of being sent from this section, and the
price affords pleasant food for thought-to
the producer.

Ice CREAM.-A few weeks since, we took
occasion to refer to the large number of cans
of ice cream which passed along our streets
daily in the W. J. express wagon; and an
nounced that they came from the extensive
establishment of ]. P. Bruna of Salem.
To the above, one of our contemporaries
takes exceptions, and admits that Bruna's
cream is OF the first quality, but asserts that
"the praise is got up entirely upon the I'll
tickle you, and you tickle me- principle"
We had not received any cream from Mr..
Bruna, either before or since we called at
tention to the good qualities of the cream
manufactured by Bruna & Co., until Tues
day morning of this week, when we were
agreeably surprised by a good sized can,
packed in ice, delivered at our Office, with
a letter from J. p Bruna & Co., and their
compliments, adding that ''since Bro. Fin
law has seen proper to give us his peculiar
puff thought might as well have the
game as the name of treating for puff
1t was so far from our thoughts to expect
any return from J. P. Bruna & Co., that we
did not even send them copy of the paper
containing the notice, and doubt whether
they have ever seen it. Our contemporary
says that his ''puff is not paid for,'' which
is slight hint to the manufacturers of this
city, that they have not made any return
for his notice of their establishments. We
are sorry that he has been so sighted and
hope that his next notice will Prove more
effectual.

DoGs.-There are no animals more faith
full to their owners than dogs; and none
that are more ill-treated. Their masters
may whip, or kick them about cruelty one
moment, and the next, the animal shows by
it's good natured actions that it holds III
grudge. A good dog is desirable to have
about the premises, either in the city or the
country. A large majority of the dogs
lounging about the streets by day, and
making night hideous with their howls, OF
prowling over the farmers fields in search
of sheep, are nuisance, and should be ex-
terminated. An illustration of the effects
of the cry of ''mad dog" was witnessed in
this city, few days ago. A fine looking,
medium sized, black and white dog, which
had evidently had good master, from
whom it had strayed, was dubbed and
stoned by a gang of cruel boys, until it be-
came so frightened, as to hide away under
porches in order to escape its tormentors.
The cry of tsmad dog had been started,
and everybody seemed alarmed. Sometime
during the next night, 1t foun it's way into
the barn of ]. c. Davis, in the second ward;
when discovered, it was in ahorribly MANNED
condition, scarcely able to drag itself about.
Mr.. Davis cared for its wants, since which
time it has been recovering from its injuries.
Should this notice reach the attention of tile
owner of the dog, he will know where the
animal can be found. While it is proper
that dogs should either be muzzled, or dis
posed of by the proper authorities, yet it is
an act of cruelty, which should not be tol-
Grated, for boys to be allowed to stone and
club animals, even though they roam the
streets in violation of the ordinance.

THE WEATHER.

This is the source Of more comment, per-
haps than any other subject. 1t is treated
by various persons according to their differ
ent temperaments and dispositions. At
this season, almost everybody is complain
ing of the hot, dry weather. In fact, there
is not Summer passes, without more or
less complaint about the heat, just as though
there could be Summer without hot
weather. AS soon as the Summer and Au-
tumn is passed, and the chill winds of Win
ter begin to blow, those who grumble most
during the heat of Summer, will be the first
to commence bowling because they cannot
have Summer time in the Winter. 1t is
unfortunate that such persons cannot mi
CRATE with the birds, and spend their Sum-
mers in the North, and their Winters in the
South. The same fault-fnding dispositions
would discover something to complain about
If itwere possible for them to be transported
with their present natures. to that country
where there are no changes of season.
1t is natural to comment upon the weather
and to express desire for change, when
1T is extremely hot, cold, wet or dry. This
is all very well when properly expressed,
but to be constantly complaining about the
providences of God, especially in reference
to the seasons, as though he neither under
stood nor cared for the needs of his crea-
lures, is not only a folly but sin. While
III New Jersey and some other States, there
is general lamenting because of the scarci
ty OF rain, in portions of the West. and
other sections of the country, there is an
equal amount of complaining of the ex
treme wet weather. Some persons may
suppose that they could equalize the rain,
SO as to make it more beneficial to both sec
tions of the country; but though the lack
OF rain may cause us some little anxiety on
account of the injury to the crops, yet we
doubt not but that the All-wise Father will
bring about good results. The absurdity
OF praying for rain or dry weather, without
regard to the will of God, was illustrated
some years ago, by committee of church
members, who called upon their pastor with
the request that he should pray for rain
This he promised to do, if they would call
meeting of the members, and agree upon
the time when they desired the rain. The
meeting was accordingly called, and the
pastor asked to have the time for rain fixed.
One person Immediately replied that he
wanted the rain now, another said he wanted
it tomorrow, another did not want it tomor-
row, as his crops were cut and would be
entirely spoiled by fall of rain. After
great diversity of opinions being expressed,
without arriving at any definite conclusion,
the minister adjourned the meeting, and
left the time for rain to be decided upon by
higher power.

On the second of July, the members of
the Sabbath School at Middletown, about
two miles from Port Norris, Cumb. Co.,
held picnic for the benefit of their school.
The attendance was not large, yet those who
were present, displayed their liberality, and
the proceeds amounted to about seventy
dollars. Interesting addresses were deliv-
cred by Revs. E. B. and J. E. Lake, and
Mr.. Ogden. This Sabbath School was Or
ganized last May, and is the first established
in that village. We are pleased to learn
that the citizens of Mauricetown, Haley
vile Dividing Creek and Port Norris are
taking an interest in the school, and most
sincerity hope that it will prove a success.

We take pleasure in calling attention to
the advertisement in another column, of
Bruna's first grand excursion to Long
Branch. The excursion takes place on the
22d of July, just in the height of the season,
and those who participate will enjoy fine
opportunity of seeing the dignitaries and
fashionables of the land, who spend their
Summer at this resort. The excursion train
leaves our city at 6 A. NJ, and reaches Long
Branch at 11.30; allowing five hours for
bathing, walking or riding. This will be
the only excursion given by Mr.. Bruna,
this season, to Long Branch, and every one
who can, will do well to accompany him,
as his excursions are generally acknowledged
to be unequalled. Refreshments will be
furnished on the cars, and everything will
be done to insure the comfort and conven-
fence Of the excursionists.

not even the ringing of bells and firing of
cannon saluted the ear. Fire crackers, for
hidden by the city ordinance, were profuse-
ly discharged during the day, and fireworks
of various kinds illuminated our city during
the evening. No serious results followed,
the rain of the afternoon having had good
effect. Celebrations took place in different
parts of the county, and the citizens of
Bridgeton had their choice of places. Trains
left for Cedarville, Port Norris and Bayside
At Cedarville, the citizens united with
the Odd Fellows of Welcome Friends Lodge,
headed by the Cornet Band of that place,
and marched through the village. Rev.
DR.. Fernley of Philadelphia, delivered a
very fine address to large audience, at the
public school grounds An excellent din
ner was served by the ladies. Rev. w. A.
Durfee addressed the audience in the after
noon. In the evening, the Cedarville Cor
net Band was presented with very fine
flag, by Rev. B. c. Lippincott, A. M. It
was received by DR.. R. NJ. Bateman, on be-
half of the band. Many from different
parts of the county visited Cedarville, and
the exercises of the day and evening passed
off pleasantly.
The Fourth was celebrated at Port Nor
ris in good style. A large number assem-
bled at the grove, where dinner was provi-
ded. The procession formed in front of the
hotel, Richard w. Robbins acting as Chief
Marshal. The City Cornet Band discours-
ing excellent music as they proceeded to
the grove. In the absence of the orator Of
