az The Bucks Co. fnteltsgencer says that
work on the new line of the North Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, between Jenkintown and Yard
leyville, is yet vigorously prosecuted. Ar
rangements are making Cor putting down the
second track, as soon as the first one has been
entirely laid. 1t is said that the through fare
for passengers to New York will be lower than
what is charged at present. From Joseph
Swartzlander, of Yardleyville, who recently
passed over the route from that place to Bound
Brook on horseback. we learn that the Jer-
sey portion of the new road is as far advanced
as that on this side of the Delaware. The
bridge across the Raritan is yet incomplete,
but will be done in good time. The prospect
is that both ends Of the road will be ready for
use before the great bridge over the Delaware
near Yardleyyille is finished, though that
structure is being pushed forward with great
energy. In making the trip referred to Mr..
Swartzlander traversed the entire distance to
Bound Brook and back, nearly 70 miles, in q
single day.

EB Vineland, New Jersey, has popula-
ton of ten thousand there is clause in every
deed, forbidding the sale of liquor. During
six months no citizen required any assistance
from the poor. During one year there was
one Indictment, and that for little fight be-
tween two colored persons there were but
three fires, and only one house burned the
taxes are only one per cent, and there is no
debt; the police expenses are seventy-five
dollars year. A little town in New Eng
land, of less than ten thousand inhabitants,
maintains forty grog-shops police judge,
city marshal, assistant marshal, four night
watchmen, and six policemen, are necessary
for the protection of the peace of the town !;
four fire companies of forty men each, costing
$4,000 year, are called out on an average
every other week; it costs $4,000 year to
support the poor. and the township owes
$4,000; this striking difference between two
towns one of which permits the sale of liquor
and the other does not, is a most impressive
commentary on the value of the prohibition of
the sale of liquors to the people.

about $500 upon the property, but that will
not cover the loss, There is no doubt at all
but that this building was set on fire.

near Tumble Station, in Kingwood tsp.
