TYGERT's DAILY LINE.-Thc daily
line of the Messrs. Tygert from this
place to Philadelphia, which cOmmen-
ced last week, with the increased guam
titles of fruit, is carrying good cargOes of
peaches, apples, pears, &c. The ar
rangement is the most complete of any
that has ever gone out Of the creek.
The steamer j. f. Iygert stops at
Fleming's Landing, from which place
it can go out Of the creek with little
regard to the tide. The tug Aida
plies between that place and Rothwell's
Landing in conveying the barges, u
| loaded one of which is attached to the
Tygert, which leaves Fleming's Land
ing every evening, arriving i'll Philadel-
phia about o'clock A. NJ. Three
barges constitute the line, but fourth
one is held in reserve for emergencies.
One is always ut RothwelPs to receive
the fruit. The freight per basket is 8
cents. The stages takes the passen-
gers to Fleming's.
The TRAMPs.-The Town Commits
sioners in obedience to the numerous
complaints of annoyance, ut II meeting
held last week resolved to arrest as
Vagrants those who were continually
begging through the streets. Notices
to this effect were posted ON Friday
and on Saturday three extras were
added to the Police force and after the
arrest and placing in the Lookup o.
three that evening and three Sunday
morning, the rest took warning. Those
arrested on Saturday evening however
were for drunkenness. They cOngre
: gated at Clayton to the number, it il
said, of about 100 and walked into thu
town on Sunday in considerable mum
bers but did not stop at the doors
Some became very indignant and sa,
they will never put their feet in tn,
town again. Some had work promised
them this week but had to make on
the best they could until they wer'
: wanted. The lateness of the peacl
crop has made it hard on the tramps
: viz: those who really wanted work.
= ANOTHER ACCIDENT TO THE CLYDE
Q On the up trip yesterday atternOOl
. the excursion steamer Thomas Clyd
t met with an accident which will rende
it necessary that she be laid off dut
for the remainder of the week. b
some means the piston rod and othe

!. The presence of mind of the secon
S engineer alone prevented the BLOWN
h off of the cylinder head, which woul
$ probably have been attended with yer
IL serious consequences. As it was, quiz
G q panic prevailed for a time among IL
l, women and children on board of IL
G boat, but all the eXcursiOnists wei
