most important mercantile marts in thi
country, the trainers Of our Ordinance ane
many others consider the selling by sam
pie or even the mere quotation Of price
from those two cities alone greatly facil
! itates business generally, and keeps oul
wideawake merchants well posted in lates
wholesale rates in every line. 1t il
argued by some merchants in this city
and the same view, and for the same
reason, may be held by dealers in other
parts that drummers should be taxed
from the fact, that all do not confine
themselves to their special branch, il
being alleged that some carry under cover
a certain amount of stock, and which,
securing orders or not for future delivery,
they also offer and sell to parties not en-
gagged in their specific line. This direct
violation Of the Huckster law, for they
then become peddlers under that law,
though practiced by comparatively few,
has done much however towards creating
upon The part ofsquare business men an
unfavorable impression Of drummers gen
orally.
SPRING OPENING
Business opens in this city very active
and the outlook is exceedingly favorable.
In the building line now fairly under
way, architect and carpenter George
Allison, and ". A. Goodher, mason, are
engaged on Mr.. c. G. WINS new brick
store on Broad street near Stacy, the front
of which will be laid up by master mason
r. J. Wins. Our popular butcher Geo.
Wells new market promises to be yery
neat improvement to East Union street
The plans furnished by architect Allison,
are In the hands Of carpenter John Nor
cross, Of whom report speaks well, and
f. Holland, mason. The main building
will be 1886. Six new, three-story,
brick dwellings viii probably be erected
on West Union street at an early dav This
season. The Fireng property, corner of
High street and Pearl, is to be thoroughly
renovated under charge of carpenter
Elwood Conner. Much credit is due the
Silpath estate for their attractive new
buildings on High street. The store
proper is model both in appearance and
appointments. Other improvements are
being agitated, and our mechanics antiei-
pate very busy year. Our various man.
ufacturers report large amount of orders
and all are running full handed. We
doubt if any city of its size in this country
turns out weekly more carriages than
Burlington manufacturers. John Graft,
noted for the superiority and high finish
of his carriages, sold last week six elegant
vehicles to customers from various sec
tions. On Monday morning ten light
buggies were shipped to Philadelphia
from Mr.. Birch's factory, and both makers
have orders on hand sufficient for double
their force Of employees.
CHURCH NoTEs.--
Last Sunday morning, Bishop Scar
borough visited St. BarnasbaS church, and
confirmed and addressed class of 8 per-
sons. In the afternoon, at St. Mary's
church, he preached an able discourse
from the words of Isaiah, "He trod the
wine-press alone" and confirmed and
addressed 10 persons. Before commence
Jug bis sermon, the Bishop paid a most
beautiful and touching tribute to the
memory Of the late George Fl. Woolman,
Prior to the afternoon church service,
St. MarySs church yard was consecrated,
This interesting and novel ceremony, the
second it Is said ever held In this country,
was done in accordance with form pre-
pared and published by DR., Hills. Form
ing in line the procession hesded by the
Bishop and followed blythe Rector, Rev.
George NJ. Hills, d. D., Rey. J. L. Nc.
Kim of St. Mary's Hall, Rev. John
D. Hills, and Rev. Meesrs. Rily and
Neal of Burlington College, together
with the Wardens and Vestry. Cbciristers
and Sunday school teachers and scholars
OF ST. Mary's, as we'll as many members
of the church, walked around the grounds
and participated in the aConsecration
Service" as by the form mentioned. It
was a subject of regret that the imposing
ceremony was shortened BY the severe
gust and heavy rain which passed over
the city during Its progress.
