Is It has been suggested to us by one of
our citizens TO call the attention of our people
to the Importance OF securing a direct rail-
road route from this city to New York. 1t is
believed that If suitable efforts are made, the
proposed railroad from the Delaware to Flem-
ington may be located SO near to the northern
part of our city as to make it easy of access,
and at the same time accommodate the people
of Stockton and Prallsville. If this could be
done, it would greatly add to our facilities tor
business, and would tend to the growth and
importance of our place. Certainly the loca-
ton as above proposed, would materially add
to the prosperity Of the road, particularly If
extended so as to make Philadelphia ceiI=
nection, as by route passing through or near
this city il would touch number of large
towns that otherwise could not be reached
1t will be well for our business men to take
this subject into consideration.

SUDDEN DEATH.-Mr. J. Bankson Claxtou,
farmer residing near Pineville, in Bucking-
ham tsp, Bucks Co, Pa, died very suddenly
in this city, yesterday Tuesday afternoon.
He went to the butcher shop of Geo. Bang
choff, in the outskirts of our city, to dispose
of calf After selling it, he got into his
wagon to drive off, and while speaking to Mr.
B. he suddenly fell over. Mr.. B. jumped in
to the wagon and caught him, laid him down
in the wagon, and drove rapidly into town,
stopping at DR.. Wetherill's Office. The doc
tor was out, and Dir. Robbins happening to
be in the vicinity, was called. Mr.. Clax-
ton at this time had slight pulse. While
DR.. r. ran to his store to get needed medicines
the wagon was driven to the Lambertville
House and Mr.. G. was taken into the parlor,
but when DIR. Robbins arrived minute or
two later, life had departed. An examination
was made by Justice Hayhurst,in the absence
of the Coroner, and being satisfied that
death occurred from natural causes, decided
it unnecessary to hold an inquest. Mr.. Gray,
of this city, an acquaintance of Mr. Claxton's
family, drove his team home and broke the
sad news to them. Mr.. G. Arnett followed
with team carrying the body.
Mr.. Claxton was man who stood high in
the community where he lived, and was a
member of the Solebury Presbyterian Church.
He was about fifty years of age

Concertin this city, during the three weeks
that they have been at work, have assisted
seventeen families in the First Ward, thirteen

(os over one hundred persons) aided for three

that the fund has been carefully used, and yet
no person who has been known to need aid
has been refused. The ladies have inquired
into the condition Of all cases and made per-
sonal visits in order to prevent any improper
use of the fund. This has been of importance
as some who have applied have been found I'M
deserving. In one case, visit to the house

We learn that work on the Delaware and
Bound Brook Railroad, which is a part of the
new through line between Philadelphia and
New York, is being vigorously pushed for
ward. The distance of ~ miles between
Vaudeville and Bound Brook is divided into
three sections of equal length, and on these
not less THAI 500 men are at work. The grad
ing on the Pennsylvania portion, from Yard
leyville to Jenkintown, is still further adj
I,vanced The entire length of the road is
stated to be just 80 miles, five miles less than
the Pennsylvania Central, and much of it is
perfectly straight. No large cities are
trayersed, and it is expected that the trip can
be made in two hours. 1t is intended that
| the road shall be completed, with two tracks
of steel rails, before the close of the present
YEAR The officers of the road are men of
ample wealth, and the connections made by
the new line themselves insare its success.

FISH CULTURE.

There seems to be an increased interest
in this subject, and the value of ponds or
streams, whether small or large, that can
be made available for fish culture, are
more and more appreciated. AS to the
value of such property, the late Prof
Agassz stated that "every acre Of water
is worth as great yearly rental, as every
acre of land beside the same"
There are but few places suitable for
raising trout on large scale, and i. is
said that it is only on large scale that
it will pay, but in natural or artificial
ponds where the water is too warm for
trout other fish, such as bass, pckerel,
perch and bull heads can be raised in
large numbers with but little cost, and
furnish the farmers own table with an
abundant supply, or for The market at
clear profit. For instance, such sheet
Of water as the wel.known Otis pond,
covering several hundred acres, il well
stocked with bass, would be an mex.
haustible source of profit.
We learn from the Chlpese commission
or, Mr.. Laisun, that fish culture 10 China
is part Of the business OF agriculture.
Every man 10 that country who owns a
piece Of land where water eau be held,
stocks it with fish, the better qualities for
eating, and some coarse species which he
speaks OF, are used for lertiizing the soil !;
they grow SO large and are so prolific in
their propa. CATION as TO furnish each
farmer large proportion of his manures,
perhaps for crops that require phosphates
especially.
Mayor Hyde of Newton, who with
others rented pond Of only few acres
in that town, a few years since, and
stocked it with black bass. says he is
offered high price for his shares OF the
investment. Without any feeding what.
ever, the pond is full Of these valuable
eating fish. He also suggest to farmers,
and others who are situated near ponds
or lakes that they form clubs or associa.
tions, aud take measures to secure leases
of such waters. and then stock the same
with useful fish. 1t looks to US as
though it could be made a paying business
and there are many small streams, ponds,
swamps and wet places, that can be
utilized for this purpose, and while it may
be regarded as too much Of fancy
business" for the farmer, if it does not
pay, it is a luxury Of more practical
value than the time spent with many
other branches Of the farmers business.

WHEAT. THREsnINo IN CALIFORNIA;
subscriber sends us the following account.
from local paper, Of the way in which
threshiDg machines arc run 10 California {:
The thresher stood at one end of a
narrow passage-way, between two stacks
of wheat. The engine stood at the other
end, some distance from the stacks aud
was connected with the thresher by q
band, Ten pitchers tossed the wheat
upon aprons on either side OF the cylinder,
before which the feeder stood, who cram.
med it into the capacious throat Of the
thresher as fast as his busy arms could
work. The thresbed and cleaned grain
poured in ceaseless stream from the
machine on the other side. 1t was re.
ceived by the sack tender, who has always
two sacks ready. AS one is filed, a
movable slide turns the grain to the
other, he passes the first to the sack sewer
Just behind him The sewer lifts the sack
to settle the graih-pel fected by practice,
with few dclt and rapid motions, he
sews aud ties the corners Of the sack.
The whoie operation requires about thirty
seconds. The sack packer carries away
the sacks placing them in order 80 that
they may be easily counted.
The work requires the following crew /;
one engineer two feeders ten pitchers
a sack tender, sack sewer, sack packer,
a water hsuler and "straw buck" who
removes and keeps the machine clear Of
straw, with the aid 81 a horse. In all
eighteen men, and the owner, who is
superintendent. The owner pays the
two feeders aud engineer, $3.50 per day
each 4; The water hauler, 50 per day the
ten pitchers, SO per day each; the sack
sewer aud packer, each SO per day-the
STRAW buck" works for fun. The owner
boards all hands and pays four cents a
bushel for the wheat turned out. The
full capacity of the machine is l 1900
sacks day, the average work about
1000, holding over two bushels each.
While we were present, a stack Of
wheat was finished and it becama
necessary to remove to another part of the
field. We. with others, timed the opera
tons. The last sack was filed and sewod
simulta neously with the last revolution o.
the cylinder The band Was Slipped and
in ffty.niDe seconds both machine and
engine, with crew following, we're on tn,
way to the other stack tho time em
ployed in reaching the stack four minutes
