A Prosperous Year for the Many Brewers Of
the Beverage In New Jersey.
The beer and ale brewers of Newark
are realizing Immense pronts this season owing
to the low price OF hops and Canada malt as
compared with last years quotations. The sales
have been almost unprecedented and the win
ter's supply has been almost exhausted thus
early Last year the seventeen brewers OF that
city paid t3t2, ,sis 70 to the Government as reve-
nue. upon 370,24 barrels Of beer and ale IN anu
factured In 1875 malt and hops were so high
priced that several failed In business with total
liabilities estimated at ts0O,O0o Then hops COM
manded from forty to forty ave cents per pound
this year the price has oeen lowered fully twenty
per cent. and between ten and twenty cents on
malt, thus enabling the manufacturers to net
between twenty-five and thirty-nvo cents on
every barrel sold. Bad debts last year also had
Its influence on the trade, but the Brewers As

worked admirably, and has tended to weed

Promptly Denied.

On the frst of this MONTH at q meeting
OF the Tottenville, Staten Island, Y. N. G. A, a
communication was received from Mr.. C. H.
Pendexter, a school teacher Of the village, ao-
cusing the President, the Rev. DIR. Taylor. OF
having several times INDUCED to excess Ia In
toxicating liquors. A committee WAS appoint
ed to investigate, and on the 9Th OF July, In an
swer to a summons, tho Rev. Mr. Taylor ap-
peared before the committee. The committee
say that he then said TO them that he suffers
from disease that occasionally gives him great
pain; tn 1t about tho time mentioned In the ac-
cusations he WAS suffering great agony and took
liquor as remedy: that he had not taken any
before for over nine months. an that possibly
he might have been slightly affected by IL.
One member OF the association, however, saws
he knows Of the clergyman's having taken a
drink on the 18th Of June. and another on the
80 OF this month. 1t Is also sad tnat two years

Then quiet was restored, and his rerignation,

wns being tried for drunkenness, he quite as
violently pronounced the charge an "unmlt.
