WANHATTAN BEAoH.-This wellknown
watering place, only a short distance from
New York City, will have a grand opening on
Saturday, the 14th inst. The Beach is reach
ed by the boats of Starins' River and Harbor
Transportation Co. and the New York and
Manhattan Beach Railway Co. and the fare is
small. Any one visiting New York will be
delighted to take run to Manhattan Beach
and spend few hours. The boats and cars
run at intervals of about one hour. The at
fractions this year are unprecedented Gill
more's full Band, with Levy, as cornetist, is
engaged for the season and play every day
An immense captive balloon, similar to that
at the Paris Exhibition is under charge of
Prof King. The bathing is fine, aud the
Grand Hotel is the largest of its kind in the
world. Besides, there are lovely rides along
the surf by the Marine Railway, rowing and
sailing boats, private bathing houses, &c. Sc.

The Following, from the Salem Sun
BEAM is Just as applicable to thislocality as
it is to- Salem, county, and agrees with our
ideas exaety. Patronze home industry and
trade with, those who live among you and
help support the Institutions of the county
Cheap articles bought in the city or of these
travelling peddlers often prove the most costly
in the end. Here is what the Sunbeam !"
says
Shopkecpers in towns and villages often re-
fer to the fact that many of their former GUS
toners take advantage of the railroad and
steamboat to visit the large cities and there
spend money, which they should spend at
home. This is given as one phase OF business
depression in the country. We have just
heard of anotherrand a worse one. Almost
every country road has peddler wagons trund-
ling along, and these carry almost every kind
of merchandise for domestic use. Every.
bouse is visited, and il the cash is not in hand,
produee IS taken, such as butter, eggs, pou-
try. Sc. Now, this is all wrong. You should
buy of your neighbors, the men who trust
Won whenever you need credit, who aid you
to educate your family by paying school tax
or pew rent who helped to keep the roads in
order by paying their assessment, and whom
Won know to be reliable and not likely to
cheat YOU in goods or price. just think of
this, and give these travelling pedeiers whom
nobody knows and who care for Eooody, at
least in your neighborhood, wide berth.
The introduction to the above is from the
Huaterdon Republican,. We agree with what
both papers say, but we will add that if mel-
chants and others expect TO keep trade at
home. they must use the same means that
merchants abroad do to get it away from
home-ApvERTIsE To say that it don't do
any good to advertise is simply to show
mans want of common sense and observation.
Does any one suppose that those who do adj
vertise, continue TO do so year after year with
out seeing any benefit from it. There was a
time when our merchants, generally, adyer-
fused and trade was kept at home. Now, UNI
der pretext of hard times, they discontinue,
and trade runs away from town. We recent
ly stepped into Philadelphia store that adj
vertises extensively, and in few moments
saw the effects Of advertising, by'noticing the
people from this vicinity that were there
dealing. Some who do advertise, as in the
case of r. Ii. Van Horn Is Bro, hold tbeir
trade, and sell as cheaply as their city com
petitors. There is no reason why our mer-
chants cannot sell as cheaply as those in the
city, but we believe it is almost an invarialls
rule that those who do not advertise do mol
keep up with the times in their prices.
