beautiful town that Main street is
one of the most perfectly shaded
streets to be found in any town of its
size in the country. Come and see

Freehold, without doubt, has at
least one beautifully shaded street,
but we do not remember that the
streets of that place, as whole, are
anything like as well shaded as the
principal streets of Bridgeton. -
Briagetom Chronicle.
The above is all very we'll, and the
people of Mount Holly and Freehold
can pride themselves of their beauti-
full little towns; but when shaded
streets are in question, we feel con-
fident that our own city of Salem
bears the palm. just now Market
street has the appearance of an arbor
of the length of the street, the
branches of the tall trees on each side
Of the street almost meeting at the
top. While Broadway for its entire
length Of more than mile and half
has its sidewalks entirely shaded by
beautiful elms, naples and trees Of
other varieties = Salem Sua6edm
We make haste to prove our first
assertion by further particulars
Mount Holly streets in most cases are
shaded BY trees Of from 40 to so
years growth, stately and beautiful
The branches meet from either side

BURLINGTON.
POMONA GRANGE.

We beg to express our warm
thanks to Mr.. William Il. Hancock,
Mr.. Edmund Cook and the Messrs.
Haines for their attention aud court
esy at the late festival of their
Grange, held on the admirably adapt.
ed grounds Of the Burlington County
Agricultural Society, and delightfully."-
sheltered from the almost whitening
heat Of the day. The occasion was
highly..enjoyed by all present. Aside
from the distinctive platform of the
Changers which has been accepted by
very large number of the most
prominent agriculturists in this coun-
try, such annual re- unions are highly
to be commended New associations
are formed, old ones renewed, and
general and informal exchange Of
views upon their vocation and its
progress, and the workings of the
"Patrons of Husbandry" at large,
all tend toward forming brotherhood
instructive and improving to the
mind, developing the finer feelings of
our nature, softening that trait natural
to isolation, selfshness, and with it,
contracted views, and fostering ties of
friendship Of lifelong endurance.
The general reader may be interested
in learning that "The National
Grange" the first founded 10 the
United States, was organized at
Washington, D. c., in 1866. In the
officers eight states were represented.
The admission Of the gentle sex, and
also as officers, was soon afterwards
adopted. The first subordinate
grange was organized III 1867. Dur
ing the past year los oranges were
organized 10 this State, Pomona
Grange was established in 1875. It
has a membership between 800 and
400 and its condition is highly pros
porous.

The Cincinnati Gazette, in answer to q
correspondent who wants to know whether
there is prohibitory liquor law in Ohio,
shows by reference to the statute books
that there is, in fact, not only one law, but
half dozen or more, covering every phase
of the liquor retail traffic; and that what is
needed is, not more laws, but more enforce
ment. A synopsis of the laws now in ex-
istence shows provision that liquors shall
be pure and good; next, that they shall not
be sold; next, that they shall not be given
away; next, that man shall not get drunk;
next, that if he does get drunk he shah be
fined $5; next, that one who makes another
drunk shall be punished; next, a person
selling or giving liquor away, making per.
son drunk, shall be liable in damages to
any one who may be injured; next, that
real estate used for selling liquor in viola
ton of law shall be liable for fines and dam
ages, shall be declared nuisance, and shall
be shut up. Notwithstanding these laws,
there are 2,500 saloons in Cincinnati alone.
where liquor is openly sold. The Gazette
suggests only one more law, good tax
system, which, while affording revenue,
would wipe out many saloons, and secure
the regulation Of the rest

The Fisheries of Japan.

Surrounded on all sides by the ocean, in
dented everywhere by broad CULTS and bays,
and all the alluvial portions cut by the tidal
streams aud canals, the water swarming
with great variety of food-fishes, there is
naturally numerous fishing population in
Japan. Every shore has its fishing villages.
All the bays and inlets on fair days are
white with the sails of fishing boats. The
fishermen's homes are the poorest and
dirtiest. and they are the least intelligent
There are fewer schools in these isolated
villages than elsewhere, and the per-
centage of illiteracy is greater. Physically,
they are the equals of the other people,
which is owing to plentiful supply of fish
food. There is no religious or other pref
udice against eating fish, and all kinds are
are cheap. A good fishing boat for two men
costs about $40. On fair days an average
wages of an able bodied fisherman. working
by the day, are Is to 20 cents Women and
children work along the shore at low tide,
gathering oysters, clans, etc. The prepa-
ration of salted fish gives employ
ment to large numbers of the cheaper class
of laborers. In the larger towns the fish
markets are all under the control of guilds,
and in some places the boats are owned
and the men employed by these guilds. In
the city of Nagoya, in the province of Ow-
ari, the fish guild four years ago owned
1900 boats and employed 1000 men. Some
of these boats were large, and carried s
and 10 men. Their sales of fish were
81 $780, 900 per year. Fish can be had at
all prices from to "a cents per pound, ac-
cording to the qnality and the locality where
sold. The product of the fisheries in 1878
was about $10,OOO,OOO

The Wisconsin Benders

Sheboygan Special to the Chicago Tribune.
The Tribune of December 10 contained a dis
patch relating to the attempt to wreck passenger
train on the Wisconsin Central railroad near Elk
hart lake. The endeavor was made in deep cut
and the time fixed upon was intended to catch the
night express; but the unexpected arrival of be-
lated fregh: train met the distractions placed upon
the track in time to avert the intended disaster.
The brakeman who was sent back to signal the ex-
press was robbed of $41, but he has identified Pc
ter Vanderhoof rs the robber and it was the brake
man that gave such description Of him as led to
his arrest. The Herald of this city says that the
vanderhoof family, six Of whom are now safely in
Jail, are q hard lot. but are sensitive and shame
essly pious, reading the Bible constantly, and max
ing prayers long and loud. The family now in Jail
consists of Mr.. Peter Vanderhoof and wife, two
sons-Nelson and Nnrton-and to sons-in- law

foregoing men are Jailed on the charge of stealing
property, and the old woman for secreting the

of constant annoyance to the peaceably disposed
neighbors for many years. and the hope is enter
tanned that these pious frauds may receive their

DURING the cold weather this winter east
of the mountains, California has been en-
joying warm and copious rains. The cold
est weather experienced in the state thus
far has only injured slightly the tender
shoots of vine and lemon trees in San Ber-
nardino county. The lowest temperature
ever reached in San Francisco in thirty-one
years, was twenty degrees above zero, in
1867, and that happened only once. Sew
eral winters have occurred since 1S49 dur
ing which the mercury never dropped as
low as freezing point. Last winter was one
OF the coldest ever experienced in the state,
and yet the thermometer was at no time
lower than % degrees above zero. Inlook-
ing over the tEermometrical record for thir-
ty years, one is not so much struck by the
mildness as the evenness of the climate,
the range of certain winter months being
three or four degrees.
