A Lecture from Vineland.

One of the strongest temperance lectures
that we have recently seen comes from the
constable and overseer of the poor Of Vine
land, New Jersey, from which its founder
excluded both the sale and manufacture of
liquor. Here is what the constable reports:
Though we have population of ten
thousand people, for the period, of six
months no settler or citizen of Nineland
has received relief at my hands as overseer
of the poor. Within seventy days there
has been only one case among what we
call the floating population, at the expense
of ST. During the entire year there has
only been one indictment, and that tri-
fling case of assault and battery between
two of our colored population. So few are
the fires in Nineland, that we have no need
of a fire department. There has been only
one house burned in year, and two slight
fires, which were soon put out. We prac-
tically have no debt, and our taxes are only
one per cent on the valuation. The police
expenses of Nineland amount to So a
year, tie sum paid to me, and on poor ex-
penses Il mere tritle. | ascribe this remark
able state of things to the industry of our
people and tie absence of King Alcohol.
Let me give you, in contrast to this, the
state of things in the town from which |
came, in New England. The population
of the town was $500, little less than
Nineland. 1t maintained forty liquor shops.
They kept busy police judge, city mar
shall, assistant marshal, four night watch
men and six policemen. Fires were almost
continual. That place maintained a paid
fire department of four companies, of forty
men each, at an expense of $4,000 per an
mum. | belonged to this department for
six years, and the fires averaged about one
every two weeks and mostly incendiary.
The support of the poor cost $4,000 per
anuum. The debt Of the township was
$3.50, 600 The condition of things in the
New England town is as favorable in that
country as many other places where liquor
is Sold

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN STATE Con
vENTIoN.-The Republicans Of the old
keystone State held their State Convention
at Lancaster, on Wednesday last. Gov.
Hartranft was renominated by acclama-
ton. William II. Rawle, at present Mayor
of the city of Erie, was nominated for
State Treasurer.
The Convention adopted the following
sound resolution on the third term, which
will meet the approval of every Republican
not an office holder. We are not so sure
about all of that class. The President acted
very unwisely in permitting that class OF
politicians to advertise him as a third term
candidate:
Resolred, That we declare q firm and I'M
qualified adherence to the unwritten law of
the Republic, which wisely, and under the
sanction of the most venerable of exam
pies, limits the Presidential service Of any
citizen to two terms, and we, the Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania, in recognition OF
this law, are unalterably opposed to the
election to the Presidency of any person
for third term.

THE ROADS.

Complaints reach us Of the neglect of
Supervisors and bad condition of some of
the roads. The grace given the contrac
tors which prescribed the month of June as
the time for first examination, has been
taken advantage of, apparently, by them to
defer all repairs till the last moment. We
thought this i'll advised leniency on the
part of the Commissioners at the time.
The fact of the business is, that the roads
are expected and required to be kept in
good condition all the time, and the 1nspec-
tors instructions should be to see that the
roads are kept in order without date as to
their examination. The Inspectors are
allowed fixed salary and it is immaterial
when they examine the roads, They might
see the greater part of them in their sew
eral districts, while pursuing their private
business. 1t is unnecessary that "stated
days should be assigned for making exam
nation of the roads. There is no reason
why they should not all be put in proper
order in the month of April, but most
urgent reasons why they should, unless
succession of rain storms-which rarely hap
pens-should make it impossible, and then
the rule could be relaxed.
There are three important regulations
which should be adopted by the Commits
sioners: First, that roads must be gone over
in April, unless continued rainy weather
made it impossible, which would not occur
oftener than once in ten years; Second, the
Inspectors orders should be to see that the
roads were always kept in order, and the
time they were not so kept be noted with
the reasons, if any were apparent, for the
omission, and the fact reported to the Com
missioners; Third, all roads shall be raised
in the middle with gradual slope from the
side bitches. These three simple rules are
easily comprehended, are every way prac-
ticable, and if enforced with Judgment,
could not fail to prove most salutary. The
proper time to mend roads is when ever
they begin to give way, and not wait till
they are at their worst. Turnpike CON-
panies are compelled by law to do this, and
so should the public road-mender be re-
quired.

THE RAILROAD STRATEGY.-As there
would be nothing gained by one bankrupt
company disposing of road in running
order to a bankrupt company without any
road at all, we infer that the Baltimore,
Philadelphia and New Park Company has
fallen into new hands, and that their title
is simply being used as a cloak to cover
present operations. The real parties are
doubtless the Philadelphia and Reading,
and Baltimore and Ohio Companies-and
whose ultimate object is the construction
of road from Baltimore to New York.
AS further evidence that some movement
of this kind is on foot, we mention the fact
that the railroad shops at Oxford have been
disposed of to parties whose names, in the
language of the distinguished Lord Dun
dreary "no fellow can find out" The cit
liens of our neighboring borough are quite
rejoiced over what they regard as future
probabilities and we think not without
Just cause. The idea suggested by us some
weeks since of the Baltimore and Ohio
Company using the Wilmington and Read
ing Railroad as a means of transporting
Western freight to New York until the
new route is completed, is embraced within
the limits Of the scheme.
By building a road from Baltimore to a
point on the Chester Valley road as sug-
gested, through route to New York, in
dependent of the Pennsylvania line, could
be secured in less than eighteen months, as
there would be less than 70 miles of road
to build West Chester Republican.

ANOTHER TESTIMONY FOR LOCAL Or
TIoN.-The present session of the Circuit
Court for Talbot county will be an unusually
short one, owing mainly to the fact that
but single case of assault and battery
came before it. Heretofore cases of assault
and battery have been numerous, thus sub
jecting the county to great expense. But
the indications now are that Local Option
will effect wonderful reformation in this
regard, and so preserve the peace of the
State and reduce the expenses of tax payers.

MEASURES FOR THE PROTECTION OF
GAME.-About twenty sportsmen and fish
culturists held a meeting in New Iork on
Wednesday, 10Th inst, for the purpose of
organizing an international association for
the protection of game and fish. Robert
B. Roosevelt, President of the American
Fish Culturists Association, was elected
President of the Association. Many letters
were received from persons residing in diff
ferent parts of the United States and in
Canada, expressing their appreciation of
the objects of the Association and desire
to become members. Mr.. Roosevelt stated
that the object of the Association was to
secure, if possible, general protective game
laws for both the United States and Canada.
TO attain this it would be advisable to
select competent board of naturalists,
fish culturists, game breeders and sports
men, who should be empowered to draft
suitable laws and submit them for approval
to Congress or duly constituted Legislative
bodies. A great benefit would result from
the assimilation of the laws of Canada for
the protection of game with those of the
United States. Another great object to be
accomplished was the permanent fixing of
general names by which the different species
of birds and fish in both countries should
be commonly known. The meeting then
adjourned, subject to the call of the Presi-
dent.

A REPORTER WITHOUT AN IMAGINATION
The Oregonian of recent date con-
tanned the following item:
while coming oyerto this city yesterday morn
ing the engineer of the steamer Vancouver dis
covered a slight flaw in one of the crank pins A
new pin was made at once and took the place OF
the old one.' l+. .- t4.t, - ~
Now we dislike to see O sensational
paragraph spoiled. There was enough
foundation fora splendid heart-thrilling
incident, if the reporter had only drawn
little on his imagination. He might
have pictured the dire consequences
had the engineer, through carelessness
or neglect, failed to detect the flaw I'M
til the crank-pin had absolutely broken.
The field for description would have
been unlimited. The cylinder-head
would of course have been punched to
smithereens, and the pieces been hurled
with great force among the unsuspect-
ing passengers. The conclusion might
have upset the " teakettle,' sunk the
boat, and buried the blithesome and
joyous crowd, with scarcely a moments
warning. deep within the murky waters

SEATTLE. While on q brief visit to
Seattle, we were exceedingly gratified
to witness the evidences of thrift to
be observed in every branch of indus
try. Four vessels were loading with
coal, one was discharging cargo, and
two large steamships were at the dock
during our sojourn of two days. The
city has become quite densely populated
to the top of the hill, and has extended
up and down the shore-line at least
half a mile in either direction. The
business men appear to be prosperous,
and consequently happy, but we didn't
like that smile of commiseration when
ever Olympia or her prospects were the
subject of discussion. They appear to
regard our town as the " frightful ex-
ample" SO potent during anti-liquor
times, to induce the adoption of given
policy. Such o course is neither mag
unanimous nor just, and works as palpa-
BILE an injury as the most violent oppo-
sition. Seattle can afford to rely upon
her own resources, with the progress
she has already made, without depre-
ciating the prospects of other towns.
There is scarcely an enterprise pursued
at Seattle which might not he followed
with equal profit here. In some re-
spects our advantages are infinitely SUI
perior, and it is matter OF surprise
to everybody outside of Olympia that
they have been SO long allowed to lie
dormant. We trust that our Seattle
friends will hereafter give us friendly
lift from the mire instead OF making
merry over our misfortunes. Such a
course would comport better with the
union of interest manifested when the
railroad land-ring was shorn of its
strength by combined effort of the
two communities. There should be no
cause for rivalry between us, but dis
position to stand by each otherin every
worthy enterprise.
We cannot close this article withou,
rendering our thanks to the friends who
bestowed so many kind attentions upon
us during our brief stay among them.
The only regret is that ill-health marred
somewhat the effects of what would
otherwise have been an exceedingly en-.
joyable visit.
