EARLY AND LATE FALL TRADE.

- = - 1900
The large amount of freight deliv-
cred daily in this city argues well for
present and anticipated business for
the balance Of the season. In no city
Of its size can larger or better class
of goods of every variety be found
than 10 Burlington. Our merchants
are experienced business men, and
have the happy faculty Of knowing
hcw to make customer and the next
most important "forte," how to keep
him. Situated directly on the line Of
the two great marts, New York and
Philadelphia, the facilities for pur-
chasing to the greatest advantage are
unquestionably very favorable both
for buyers aud consumers. It is
thought that the wholesale trade is
about equally divided between the two
cities, while Trenton also, finds Bur-
lington q ready and safe market for
certain specialities. The prompt
attention aud courtesy of our mer-
chants is fully appreciated by home
consumers, and we note with much
pride, often remarked by transient
buyers that most annoying and not
uncommon ''urging to buy" is con-
spicuously absent in purchasing ia
this city, and arises from the fact,
that the goods or wares speak for
themselves, they need no bolstering.
In certain lines comprising large
assortment Of any one article, stock Of
considerable value must be carried
whether sold or not, and be ready for
delivery at moments notice. Among
the class we refer to are stoves, the
prices and patterns of which are
almost endless and occupy no little
room. A few days since our curios-
ity induced our counting the number
of cooking and other stoves, Mr..
Richard Hitler was arranging in order
for inspection, and storing duplicates
requiring the better part Of large
building. We were much surprised
to find the number nearly one hun
dred. As there are other houses
keeping equally as full an assortment
as Mr. Fl and which happened to
coils under our notice, justifes our
predicting a busy fall trade generally.
STATE FIREMEN's CONVENTION
Messrs F. WoolmaB, W. W. Slack
and Oliver Van Wagner are the well
chosen delegates of the fire depart
ment Of this city to the Estate Fire
mems Relief Association" which
convenes in Burlington, Wednesday,
Sept 18th. We are much pleased
to note the meeting of this honorable
Association in our city. Though
no formal inspection Of the depart
ment is contemplated, it is only prob
able that the same will be carefully
examined, and unquestionably award
ed great credit for its general condition
holding as it does, a position unrivalled
by any department in the State.

trouble it gave printers to have mat

you were moving and had your wagon
packed full ready for starting, and it
was discovered that you had left ont

A committee of the Cumberland
County Board of Freeholders, ap-
pointed to view the different asylums
in the State, made the following state
ment to that body recently concerning
the Burlington County Almshouse
and Asylum:
Burlington County Asylum was
next visited situated near Pember-
ten, about six miles from Mount
Holly, the county seat, on the county
farm of 600 acres, Immediately ad-
joining the Aims House, containing
sixty-seven insane. This institution
is kept by Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore
Gaskill, who we were impressed were
perfectly competent to run the farm
and both of the institutions. The
report of the Asylum Committee for
the year ending May 1881 was for an
average of sixty-three inmates, at a
net expenditure Of 81 20 per week
for each inmate; the State paying
81 90 per week for each insane per-
son kept at any county institution
The same physician that serves the
aims house serves also the asylum at
a salary Of s. per year. His
visits are daily, oftener if necessary.
Your Committee were particularly
impressed with the management Of
these unfortunates, in that they were
allowed SO much freedom from re-
straint. The buildings are not en-
closed with a high wall, or impossible
fence, but high lawn interpreted
with flowers, laid out with graveled
walks and drives, enclosing about two
acres we'll shaded, enclosed with q
neat fence, and about nine..enths Of
the insane are allowed to roam over
this at their will 1t is matter of
record that some so cslled chronic
cases have been Withdrawn from the
asylum at Trenton and placed here
and after little time have been dis.
charged permanently cured and re-
main SO. And ibis the theory Of the
steward, and also of the physician, to
allow them all the liberty, as far as
can be safely done; this throws them
on their honor as it were, as it is a
fact, patent to any one at all CONVEX
SAINT with the insane, that while each
Of them viii claim that all Of their
associates are crazy, they will repel
with scorn the .imputation that they
are of the same class. OF course this
treatment is not applicable to the VIC
lent ones, as their liberty must be
abridged for the safety of themselves
or others. And it does not take. q
long acquaintance with them to know
the form of insanity to which they
are subject The salary of the stew
ard is $500 per year. The number
Of inmates 10 both houses is 1926
