FORTESCUE.
Fortescue, that fayorite resort of yore for
Bridgetonians, and the place at one time SO
popular as great seaside resort, also for its
most excellent bathing, boating, fish, game
and oysters, has within the past year
changed hands. 1t is now owned by Messrs.
Cole, Allan, Johnston and Bates, who COM
prise the Fortescue Hotel and Excursion Co.,
who deserve much credit for the interest
West-Jersey pioneer., 1880-06-10

they have shown in repairing and building
up the place. They have been so successful
as to secure fine steamer, s'The Charlotte
Vanderbilt" formerly of North River,
which is to run daily excursions to and from
Philadelphia, during the warm months of
Summer, which will afford persons living in
the city, on the hot, sultry and sweltering
days of the coming season, every advantage
of enjoying fine sail down the river and
bay, as we'll as good meal at the house.
In addition to this, good, substantial pier
has been so constructed as to land passen-
gers with safety, it extending nearly
100 feet from the shore. There is also
nearing completion, a fine pavilion on the
beach, to be used down stairs as bowling
alley, and for other games, with one large
room on the second floor, for dancing and
other amusements best suited to the guests.
The hotel is situated about five miles from
the Cumberland and Maurice River Rail
road, by which guests may have communi-
cation to and from Philadelphia, at short
notice. Boarders and other persons desirous
of visiting Fortescue, may go via the G. &
taking the stage from there direct to the
house.
A word in regard to it's management,
which is superintended by our worthy stew
setting as fine table as any one, and to
whom much credit is due for the gentle
manly disposition he manifests in trying to
entertain and please his friends, as would
be said upon inquiry of twenty five or thirty
Bridgetonians, who took dinner there, one
day this week.
We advise our friends, relations, sisters,
cousins, uncles and our aunts, to lay aside
business for a few days, and visit this favor

both memorable and enjoyable by
a sumptuous dinner (of which all partook |

the high toned social spirit that was SO
and pleasingly manifested by all |
A pleasing feature of the celebration was
the presentation of valuable and useful
presents of silver and other durable mate
rials, all of which were intended as tokens
of the love, and high regard that those
present and many others have for Mr. and |
Mrs. Davis, and of which they are worthy.
All pronounced the success of the affair
more than adequate to their expectations,
and went to their homes, pleased with what |
they had done for the happiness of Christian |

The insect which is causing so much
trouble to our farmers is known to entomol.
ogists under the name of Leucania unipuncta,
and the larva is commonly called the Army
worm. This pest appears especially after
hot, dry Springs, as has been the case the
present season. The worms then spring
into existence suddenly, as if by magic, and
advance to their work of destruction in
countless multitudes The moth is of a
yellowish -drab color, with a small white dot
near the centre of each of its forewings, and
dusky oblique stripe at their tips. On the
under side the wings are paler and more
glossy than above. 1t is night-fyer, and
deposits its eggs at night on blades of grass,
in April and early May. The eggs soon
hatch and the worms begin their havoc.
The larva sometimes grows to length of
two inches, though it is generally smaller.
1t is of dull gray COLOR with three yellow
lines on each side, the lowest one being the
broadest and brightest. When full grown
they enter the earth and assume the pupa
state, in which condition they are supposed
to pass the Winter

At meeting of the Board of Freeholders
held at the Court House on Wednesday, it
was ordered that the peddler's license fee of
Luther Bateman be refunded. Daniel Lore
was authorized to construct lightning rods
on the barns at the Aims House. The ques-
tion arising as to whether committees on
bridges were entitled to receive anything
for their services other than the $2.O0 per
day prescribed by law, the matter was re-
ferred to the Solicitor for an opinion. 1t
was ordered that a donation of $500 be
made to the Vineland Weekly for publishing
the county statement. A motion to donate
the same sum to the Millville Herald for
publishing the same, was lost. The Board
on motion, made application to the Solic-
itor for an opinion on the law in relation to
the obligation of the county and township
in regard to outside paupers. The Board
then adjourned to meet on Wednesday, July
14th, al the Court House.

sScribmer's Monthly and St. Nicholas, the
latter magazine for children, are, in their
separate provinces, very much in advance
of kindred publications in England. There
is uniform freshness and excellence about
their contents which sharply contrasts with
the dull padding which ill SO many pages
of our magazines. In the matter of illus
tration siScr5bner's' is quite beyond compar-
ison with any English magazine. 1t has
created new school of engraving and print
ing wood cuts, and we appear to be either
incapable or too conservative to follow."-

A bottle containing scrap of paper on
which was written the following was picked
up at Rocky Point Beach, on Saturday:
"Yacht Coming, February I'd, 1880. Lost,
Elisha Jermain, William Jermain." Tie
Coming was in tow OF the brig Gainsborough,
when the latter sank off Eaton's Neck on
the night of February Cd. The Jermains
were from Glen Cove, l.. l., and we're in
charge of the Coming. The loss of the men
is mystery, as the Coming was found with
every thing in her cabin in order, and with
out leakage or sign of distress.

From the N. Y. Monmouth Inquirer.

Another very interesting plowing trial took place
on the farm of Mr.. d. Augustus Vanderveer, at
Manaapan, April 10. 1t was largely attended, and
everything passed off satisfactorily, twelve plows
contesting for the honors, the best made at the
present time, steel and chilled iron taking the place
of the old cast iron plow. 1t was deep clay soil,
and required to be powed deep. Mr.. Vanderveer
has the best success with crops when powed to the
depth of eight inches. Some of the best corn land
in our county is located in this vicinity, the first
premium corn being raised on Mr.. Vanderveers
farm last year The plows run from to inches
in depth, and nearly all did good work in all parts
of the field some turning furrow IS inches wide
and inches deep. A committee was appointed to
test the pows, who performed their duties to the
satisfaction of all. A vote of thanks was rendered
them and Mr. Vanderveer.

A surgeon in Oakland, Cal, who had
been unsuccessful in certain delicate opera
tions, recently cut his own throat. He had
been summoned to the bedside of lady,
and after laboring all night, sent for another
physician. On the return of the messenger
he was discovered with his throat gashed.
When questioned he said that supposed
internal and fatal injuries inflicted by him
upon his patient while he was performing
the operation had prompted him to take
his own life.
