Plenty of readymade dresses
of such sorts as are most in
demand now, viz, substantial
and not costly.
Also plenty of white muslin
dresses below value; and a
fair variety of the more costly
stuff dresses.

There is no danger of over
stating the advantage in buying
black grenadines now. There

Dress-goods trade with us
is now very largely upon goods
below value. Checks, check
stripes, melanges, debeige, and
others, are at half and two
thirds. Not all we have; we
don't mean that; some of all
these and other sorts. And
low prices are no reflection on
the goods. Whatever we buy
low we sell low. Of course we
lose money on goods some
times. We are not talking
about that now.

1t is wonderful how dress
goods have dropped here.
: Fine-wool and silk-and-wool
things at two-thirds; some even
at half; the best things in the
store at that. Literally true !
What in all dress goods is bet
ter than a fine debeige? We
have one at so cents that is
we'll worth a dollar. What
has proved better this season
than small check effects? Why,
we have thirty sorts at two
thirds and below. What better
than a fine melange? Two

NEW JERSEYS MOSQUITOES. Captain
]. W. Anderson, Of the British bark
Emanuel Swedenborg, which arrived at
Philadelphia last Sunday, with cargo of
iron from Spain, is plainly entitled to
whatever glory there may be in spinning
the most audacious yarn on record about
the Jersey mosquito. on Cape May, the
captain swears, his bark sailed Into vast
army of mosquitoes, rayenous from their
long flight, Which rook complete possess

minutes they had drawn as much blood as
ever an old time doctor drew from fever
patient. and within half an hour hey had
succeeded in boring through the captain S

CHEAP POSTAGE.

=
The newspapers, with few exceptions,
ges a hobby every once in while and
ride it to death. One of these hobbies
just now is ''cheap postage Hon. John
Hill is the originator Of q bill to reduce
letter postage from three 70 two cents
and he eloqueutly pictures the anxiety OF
the poor people for cheaper raies, which
ideas these newspapers re-eeho. Now
the fact is that the people who get letters
can afford 10 pay fair rate for them, and
the reduction Of letter postage from three
people Mr.. Will champions, ten cents a
year each. 1t would save dollars 10 wealthy
manufacturing, insurance, and merchan
tile establishments. but whether a man
should get a reputation for philanthropy
by assisting them, is question not hard
to decide. A majority Of the same news-
papers that advocate cheap postage
advise the increase Of rates on fourth class
matter, i e., merchandise, sc. Now if
they want TO help the poer, and at the
same time give The express monopoly a
stab, nc better way could be found than
to keep the rates as at present, or still
further reduce them. The express eem-
panies all favor raising four,h-class rates,
for it would be thousands Of dollars IN
their pockets, but no one who sees what
great accommodation it is to persons who
want small articles sent from a distance
will favora change In the system. 1t is
an especial accommodation to people Of
limited means. There is as much reason
for carrying merchandise in the mails as
for carrying books.

Au ingenious and effective method of
checking the iavages of the army worm
was used AT Holmdel, recently, Messrs
Albro Il Crawford, the owners of farm
near that town. discovered an immense
column of tile worms advancing in the
direction of their corn fields. All the
available forcc on the farm was at once
called ont, aud a deep ditch was dug a.
long the side Of the field, between the
corn and the army worms, and when tho
pitch was filed With the pests, the trench
was filled with kerosene, which was fired,
The flames, OF course, consumed the oc
cupants of the ditch, but the flames did
not check the advance of those behind,
nor turn aside the line Of march. The
fire was kept up until the rear guard had
tambled into The ditch aud been consumed.
A neighboring farmer whose premises
were invaded did not have time to dig q
trench, so he scattered straw in front If
the advancing hosts, sprinkled kerosene
over the straw, and fred that 1t was
not so eflicacious as the ditch defence, but
it served the purpose.

Another example Of the peculiar notions
of political honor that prevail in Hudson
county was Afforded on Monday. The
Board of Public Works had done no bust
ness for three months, being IN dead
lock. Two weeks ago a compromise was
agreed upon, whereby Commissioner
Wbelan, Democrat, was to DO elected
President on condition that lie should give
The Republicans five Of the eight commit
tees OF the board. The Republicans car
ried out their part of the agreement, but
the tieacherous Wbelan, after prevarica-
ting awhile, finally violated his pledge and
ave all the committees to the Democrats.

Died. in this city, on Saturday, April
1st, Mary F. Miller. daughter Of Joseph
F. and Mary \. Miller.
Deceased lacked two days of being
twenty-four years Of age, and she ap-
parently enjoyed perfect health until
less than six months ago, when con-
sumption laid its irresistible hand upon
her and dragged her down to tho grave.
No young woman in tie community
was more highly esteemed than the
deceased, ard she was the pride and
JOY of the household who now mourn
her loss with grief almost unbeara-
BILE, in which they have the sympathy
of the entire community. She died a
peaceful christian death, with firm
hope of everlasting life, blessing all
at her bedside and bidding them pre-
pare for the world to come.
The funeral took place from the NJ.
E. Church at 10 o'clock OH Tuesday
morning, and was attended by large
number as mourning friends.

improvements at the German
Church.

The German Catholic church edifice
in this city is being very greatly i'm
proved. The walls and ceiling have
been handsomely caleimined and
freseoed. The building has been en-
tirely re-seated with new and comfort
able seats. The seating capacity is
great, as there are one hundred large
pews on the main floor, besides those
in the gallery. Two beautiful affairs
have recently been added. one being
placed on each side of the old one,
which is now the main altar. These
affairs are specimens of good work and
are very pleasing to behold
The greatest addition TO the church
is life-size crucifix.. which has been
imported from Bavaria. and is indeed a
fine work of art.
