their arrangements for filling orders for
light carriage bodies by the thousand.
In the course of few days, Mr.. Leander
Brewin will have on exhibition at his
spacious house-furnishing store, the chan
Gel furniture made by Severns & Son for
Trinity church, Vineland. Since our
notice sometime ago of this beautiful and
artistic work, many of our citizens have
already called upon Mr.. Brewin to learn
when it may be examined. It reflects
great credit upon the makers.
A MARVELLOUS EscAPE.-
On Saturday afternoon, our highly
esteemed citizen, Mr.. James Taylor, and
lady who accompanied him, had Prov
idental escape from sudden and violent
death. While driving in light carry-all
on Broad street, his horse, one Of his fav-
orite steeds, and credited as usually very
gentle, took fright and became fractions
from the whistle of an approaching train
of cars in his rear. Though an expert
enced whip, and generally driving him
sell, Mr.. Taylor was unable to control
him, nearing High street, the terrified
animal turned the corner 50 short as to
overturn the vehicle, and which he drew
in that position some distance before eye
witnesses could check and subdue him.
Lying on his side in the carriage and
bearing the lady's weight upon him also,
Mr.. 7. still retained the lines in his hand.
Many who were shocked at the accident
Immediately rushed to their assistance,
and both were assisted to the residence
Of DIR. Adams. Mr.. Taylor's physician,
DR.. Vanrensselear, and DIR. Parish were
soon in attendance, and much relief was
experienced by numbers anxiously await
ing their examination, upon learning that
though the lady was uninjured, Mr.. Tay-
Tor had sustained fracture of his collar
bone, still, no internal injuries fortunate
ly were then apparent. About an hour
or so after the much regretted accident,
MIR. Taylor was removed to his country
seat, aEdgewood," mile or more from
town, in company with DR.. Van Renssel-
ear, and at the time of writing, Mr.. T. is
reported as doing well, and no serious
consequences are anticipated.
1t does appear, as if the day is not far
distant, when for the safety of our grow
ing city, and in view also of the increas-
ed number Of trains of cars passing
through it, that the track on Broad street.
should be removed further south. This
change would also enhance the value Of
property on that handsome broad
thorough-fare fully 100 per cent. on its
present value. 6a' MA

many friends, "ihat the Chief of our Fire
Department is on his back? 1 never
knew him to have anything the matter
with his back, except when he gets his
back up" at some badly executed order

regret that our worthy Chief has been
more or less on his back for over week,
although his indisposition has not fortu.
