NEW DEPARTURES.
The establishment offs telephone line
between this city and Philadelphia
through Camden is now being agitated.
:, line between this city and Green
Hill on the Oxmead road is also on the
carpet. A cruel wag says, "this line is
for the special benefit Of the famous milk
and dairymen living in that vicinity, and
who, when those very essential require
ments in their business, wells and springs
run low or dry, can be promptly and
quickly informed of the stage of the
water in the Delaware"
In this connection, we would note that

Among the sufferers by the destruction
by fire of Col. Hyatt's Military Academy
at Chester, was Mr.. Edmund NJ. Hyde
ef this city, and teacher in that insii-
tuition. Mr.. Hyde's valuable library
though partially removed from the burn
ing building, was utterly destroyed by
fire, and the heavy rain falling at the
time Mr. H it is said had some $500
insurance upon his library, an amount
however, but trifling, in comparison with
the intrinsic value of the same.
Barber Rideout's bath arrangements are
very complete and will unquestionably
be literally patronized. Nothing that
can add to the business facilities of his
tenant is ever refused by Mr.. Birch.

House building and has secured full

The new steam pump for drainage pur-
poses commenced operations a few days

tiers of ton of coal to do this work every

RAGPBERRIES.

When raspberries are to be grown on
poor, sandy land, the best mode of
preparation is to open during autumn
deep furrows with two horses, six to
eight feet apart; then to dig and haul
epough tidewater muck to I'LL in the
burrows, which Will be thoroughly frozen
before spring. and at the approach of
warm weather will crumble and become
mellow, so as to spread evenly; then ap-
ply good coat of ground bone or hair
manure along the rows, and set the
plants two or three feet apart, requiring
about 1900 plants per acre. Bone,
hoof, horn, hair or any refuse ANNA
matter is well adapted to promote the
growth Of raspOerries.
