The rain storm was very unpleasant at
Long Branch and vicinity. AT Ocean Grove,
where there are about five thousand people,
the storm was very severely felt, especially by
those who were in tents, perhaps 1000 in all,
the rain beating under the canvas. Wesley
Lake was flooded, and had it not been for the
sideways and gates erected, much damage
would have been done to the adjoining ,cot
tages. The storm affected Asbury Park
Ocean Beach and similar grounds as it die
Ocean Greye, no.serious damage being report
ed in any of these places, except the washing
away of the beach in places.

A grand excursion to the Centennial Exhi-
bition is being organized at~Newark, New
Jersey, to take place on August 18th. 1t is
hoped that ten thousand persons may be mus
tered and they will be received at the grounds
by the Governor Of New Jersey. The pro,
ject meets with much favor from all classes
of citizens, and it is likely the example will
be initiated by many other cities.

It is said that the reason Governor Tilden'
does not write his letter of acceptance is that
he is too busy with his duties as Governor Of
New York. Well, Hayes is Governor of Ohio,

let the country think that Hayes is livelier
Executive than himself Herald.

New JERSEY AT THE .CENTENNIA q - Tie
New Jersey Commissioners at the Centennial,
acting in concert with His Excellency, the
Governor, and with Col. j. E. Peyton, have
been considering the NEST excellent idea of
having grand asselnblage of tile people Of
the State at the Centennial indeed to have
one day for New Jerseysi This State was one
of the earliest friends to this grand Exhibit
ton. Her legislature.was the first, outside
of Pennsylvania, to second the movement, by
voting the handsome appropriation of one
hundred thousand dollars.a She was the first
of all the States to erect house ON the
grounds SHE has a large, interest in the ex-
hibition from her proximity to 1t. The
idea is that the people of the State shall go
ON a grand Centennial picnic 1t is thought
that by proper effort 10000 Of the people OF
the State caii be induced to assemble on
the grounds on the day selected.
Associated with this great concourse Of
people will be the proper representation by
banners and otherwise, Of the battles Of
Trenton, Princeton and Monmouth, and
by display of mechanic arts, to slow
the great progress the State of New
Jersey has made in the last century. -
Newark, with her thousands of mechanics,
Paterson and New Brunswick, with theiI
manufactures Trenton with her iron and
crockery manufactures, and Princeton with
her educational interests, and the State itself,
with the evidences of its grand public schoo
progress, all gathered together in one grand
group, would make such show as New Jer
sey will be proud of, and which would impress
ali the other States with the fact that in all
that goes to make up state, New Jerse,
lags not in the rear but is fully up to he
rank in all that contributes to the prosperity
happiness and greatness Of a people. $40
1t is said that Newark and Paterson will
send ten thousand, and Jersey City and othe
portions Of New Jersey win send ten thous
| and more. New Brunswick, Monmouth

REFORM IN HUNTERDoN IA Democratic
Club has been formed at Clinton, and among
its resolutions is one for nlocal reformation. !"
This is good-it is practical. Hunterdon, po-
litically, needs reforming Let the Democra-
cy reform itself locally before it talks of ma
tional work. The county has been under the
domination of that party for years, and its
leaders have grown fat at the public crib
The nominations have been bought for years
with whiskey and money, and the masses of
the party have, until recently, blindly confirm
ed the nominations thus made. 1t is n hope
full sign that the rank and file ale not beyond
reclaiming when they occasionally refuse to
jump when the wires are pulled, as they did
three years ago in the senatorial eleetion.=
But that action simply checked the evil-it
did not destroy it, The wire workers expect
that the rank and file viii jump to their pull
ing again. One candidate for a nomination
this fall we are told, sent money to certain
candidates at the Spring election, to help
them along-just as though Democratic cam
didates after nomination needed help! This
man will, no doubt, swear, las others acting
like him have done) that he has not used mon
ey to influence votes. BY all means, let us
have &C local reformation" in the Democratic

Our village is still visited by some sneak
thieves. On last Friday night week, some
one entered the store of A.. Holcombe and
gobbled up about $40 in money, box of CT.
gars, quite lot of tobacco, some coffee, and
a number of small articles. On Thursday
night of last week the thieves paid Mr.. Lu-
cas- visit and relieved him of nearly all of two
weeks washing $25 worth.
While there seems to be employment fol
all who wish to work, we find number OF
men who have time to turn out and pitch
quoits, play loafer and drink something that
''helps business along and in talking of bust
ness being helped, the license holes of Lam
bertville get helped along quite bit by some
people from this section, for we have some
who, our rumsellers having refused to lie,

find money to pay for; indeed, some sell thei
clothes to get what is called "gin-mill potato
