NJ. +. CHURCH.

On Sabbath last, the pulpit of the NJ. E.
Church was promptly filled by the Pastor,
Rev j. y. b. Wilson, who preached very
practicable and appropriate discourse from
the text, " Blessed is that servant, whom
his Lord when lie cometh shall find SO do.
ing, verify | say unto you that He shall
make him ruler over all his goods. Con
sderng the Indictment appearance of the
weather, there was quite respectable and
attentive congregation. who seemed to ap
preciate the man by giving marked atten
ton to his deliberations. After the close
of his remarks he appeared to manifest
surprise to find church like that Of
North East in Il pecuniary embar-
rassment, and couldn't to strongly recon-
mend an immediate effort to relieve it of
its liability. Although, said he, one Of
the official members was absent from lndis-
position, he was requested to say the absent
brother would give much as any one IN
the church, and for himself, the preacher
he was willing to put the ball in motion by
contributing five dollars to liquidate the
debt, which was so literally responded to
by the audience, that in few minutes the
subscriptions were sufficient ochen pdid to
start the "old ship" sailing as free as the
air We say this much to show the deter
mnation of the man to carry out and per
form whatsoever his hands tindeth to do.

OUR INDUSTRIES.
We were startled, last week, by the SIN i'll
sound of the whistle of the steam saw mill,
which, we presume, indicates resumption
of business by the new firm of Duyckinck
4 Co., successors to Davis, Pugh & Co.
This mill is situated at the head of the
navigable waters of the North East river,
and is considered one of the best localities
for the business in the county, and with
their ample warerooms are prepared to
carry with success the lumber, hay
grain and fertilizer trade. On the opposite
side of the street is situated the Cecil Fire
Brick Company, who range among the best
stove tile and brick manufacturers in the
State, which is clearly demonstrated by the
heavy run of orders from this and adjoining
States. Next in turn is Messrs. Gardy,
Anderson & Williams, who form an ener-
getic and enterprising firm for the manu-
facture of carriages of all the modern va
~ Nalt
Chesel and John Haley, manufacturers of
| boots and shoes. 1t is unnecessary to say
| this business is on the increase, judging
from the number of little feet promenading
the street. Next, James Rattenbury, har-
ness manufacturer, and the enterprisng
! firm of Alexander 4 Woollens, manufac-
| turers of the best flour in the county.
| Then comes the new stove tile manufacture
ers. This firm is in its infancy as yet con-
! sequently thus far the writer has neve:
! heard name forit. We suppose, however,
! it will soon be of sufficient age to name.
| In chronicling the manufacturers of the
! town, we should not omit oar butchers,
| Messrs Roney and Bddle, who manufac.
! ture the best beef. mutton, &c, and supply
the daily necessities OF their numerous pa
irons. In close proximity to the corporate
| limits are the works Of the Mccullough
Iron Company. They have two forges OF
nine fires each, two run out fires, one ban
mill, and two sheet mills, all in successful
operation, running night and day. They
employ some two hundred hands, who (tC
use the words of their manager will com.
pare favorably with any equal number O
iron employees in this or any other country
yet, betimes, we are informed, the manager
has considerable difficulty through tn,
influence of rum, which We are sorry
to say has necesstated him to adop
| strenuous rules, that whoever of his EN-
ployees shall neglect their work through
the influence of the ardent, shall receiv,
a continuous discharge, no Communication
whatever. In our ramblings over town
selecting out the manufacturers, we omit
ted the names of our worthy townsmeI
Messrs. 5. NJ Atkinson and James Alexan
der, blacksmith and wbeelwright, who ar,
pushing things in the right direction.
