It win perhaps surprise some people TO know
that'the number is so great Each one who
wants Il, is supplied with loaf of bread.
See theadyers;sement Of Richard A. Dom
nelly Taylog Hall, Trenton. He is a reliable
dealer and does a heavy business. He keeps
general stock of men's furnishing goods at
prices that will repay a visit, If you wish a
tip-top perfect fitting shirt made to order,
cali at Donnelly's Don't order Of irrespons-
ible travelling agents, but visit responsible
manufacturer. Only think Of it,--best Wam-
sutta shirts for only 81. Call at Taylor Hall,
Trenton, and look at his stock. g
Mr.. David Udy, decd, formerly Of this
city, had his life insured for 81, 600 In the Con.
tiuental Life Insurance Company of New
York, but the Company having failed six
weeks after his death, his family is deprived
of the aid which Mr.. U. supposed that he had
positively secured for them. Mr.. Jos. Shad-
niger of this city, had his life insured for So
600 or $4,000 in the New Jersey Mutual and
has paid considerable funds into the treasury
of that Company, but now he finds his policy
worthless and his health 50 impaired as to
prevent any insurance for the benefit of his
family. In view of such cases as these, hang
ing does not seem to be too great punish
ment for the rascaly officials who robbed both
policy holders and stockholders.
"A numberof our citizens. together with
residents of the surrounding country, have re-
solved to establish fair grounds near this city.
Two or three meetings have been held to talk
over the matter, and we are assured that the
undertaking is certain to be carried out. -
The lands near the Alexsanken Creek, the
farm of Mr.. Andrew Holcombe, and the lands
of the Homestead Land Association, back of
the hill school house, are talked of for this
purpose. The latter is likely to be the loca-
tion selected as we understand that the own
ers are willing to put In the land and take
stock as payment. A public meeting viii be
held this evening, at Lyceum Hall, to further
the project.
We think the prospects for the future are
encouraging. A great many leading public
men of the Democratic party are endorsing
President Hayes, and are hoping for better
times from his accession to the Presidency.
Among these is our friend Mr. Patrick Smith,
member of Council and the leader of the
city, who at the meeting of the Council last
week, favored the increase of the poicemen's
salary from twenty to twenty-five dollars, al
leging that "the times are looking up. Prest.
Hayes is inaugurated. and men should be
paid for their services That is my doc
trine said he . because we've got Hayes in
the chair tonight" These endorsements of
the Republican President, coming from the
First Ward where we have the honor to vote
are encouraging.
The american Grocer, the leading journal
IN this country, devoted to the grocery trade,
is giving criticisms on canned goods put up by
various manufacturers, and shows an indie
pendence in its statements which proves that
it is giving an impartial opinion on the merits
of the goods of different packers. In It's last
issue it freely mentions the merits and de-
merits of canned goods put up by different
packers and gives the following notice of the
canned goods of our townsman, Mr.. ]. II.
BUTTERFLIES "Tomatoes are the most promi.
and climate Of South Jersey seemingly bring
ing them to a greater degree of perfection,
both in color and flavor, than they attain in
any other portion of the country. In New
Jersey the greatest amount of pains is taken
both in selecting the seed that produces the
raising the plant; hence as a natural conse
quence, in New ersey the largest amount of
packing of this MIST excellent aud healthful
vegetable is carried on. We have seen and
examined some of the tomatoes packed by j
ii. Butterfoss, of Lambertville, N j., that
credit to the packer We have never seen
any other goods packed by HIM, but we notice
where man packs any goods really choice he
dislikes to pack any medium or common
goods. On the other hand where n packer
gets the notion that good goods don't sell as
quickly as cheap goods, he almost always
packs slops," or, if he does not pack them, -
buys them to put his name on them
looking at the shilling just under his nose
rather than the dollar little farther away"
