The manufacture of Parvin's wagons is
now being commenced in earnest in Bur
lington. As stated some time since in
these columns, this industry was removed
from Vineland to this city. The work of
moving has interferred with making the
wagons, but some five or six are being
turned out each week, about fifteen men
being employed. On Thursday one of
these wagons, intended TO be used as an
omnibus at Long Branch, was shipped, it
being the first one made with platform
springs. 1t was neat and light looking
vehicle, yet strong enough 10 carry sever
al passengers. Mr.. Parvin says any kind
of spring can be used under these wagons,
the leading feature of which is that the
running gear is all iron and the weight
falls on the collar ofthe axle. A few days
ago they shipped wagon weighing 800
pounds which was guaranteed TO carry
any weight under 5000 pounds. They
are now making several wagons to go to
Vineland, which is pretty good evidence
they are liked where they are known.
As place for business, Mr. Parvin thinks
Burlington far exceeds Vineland, while
he is delighted with the climate, of which
he had heard so much said in disparage-
Gazette.

Captain LIB" Tyson, a notorious female
character of this city, got upon the ram
page, sportively, on Thursday evening,
and amused herself by breaking the
windows and endeavoring to clean out
the saloon of T. B Hall, out on. Main
street, near the gas house. 1t took the
combined efforts of the police force and
the Mayor to lodge her in the cooler.
On Friday she was committed to answer
at the September term of Court, and as
Glib is about the greatest nuisance Bur-
lihgton possesses it is hoped it will be
many days before she again makes her
appearance.

whose team he was driving at the time.
He escaped with cut on the head and

contemplated enjoyment. In the morn
