Glass Works in WoodstOWn.-
Some one In Brldgeton has addressed to
us Inquiries as to the chance tor starting
glass works in Woodstown. Our Borough
presents many advantages, we feel assured,
for just such an enterprise. if conducted
with intelligence, industry and proper
amount of capital. To get the advantage
of increase in population those owning pro-
perty in our place should assist with their
means in starting industrial enterprises
Let inquiry be made to find out who will
donate land. take stock, etc. in glass works
SO that we Can with ,ut delay report favor
able to the p.rties IN Bridgeton, or any
responsible men proposing to come here

New House Burned.-On 9th inst,
before daylight. the nearly completed
house of Edward Lawrence, in Warrington
was discovered to be on fire. Just before
the 6reAoroke out Lawrence saw he says
a man cross his yard, So the inference is
the building was set on fire by an incen-
diary, or some one who had found bed
in the shavlngs had in lighting a pipe
started the blaze. The family OF Law
renee had been living during building
operations on the new house, in the wag-
onhouse aud now they will doubtless
seek better quarters. as hopes of getting
into new house before winter is dashed.
The loss is estimated at about $I7oo. fully
covered by insurance. Edward Lawrence
short time ago, had his policy in the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Co., for
$4,000, transferred from his old house to
the new one. All the tools belonlng to
the boss carpenter, Joseph Stretch, OF
Alloway, and his workmen, valued at
over $500, were lost In the fire.
Job S. Haines is gentleman whom
even the partizan journals may well praise
for his fearless advocacy of what is Right.
The Constitution says: "The experience
which Job S. Haines has had in the
House OF Assembly, improved as it has
been by close and intelligent attention to
the details of legislative proceedings, quail
ifes him tor a still more useful service to
the people. Mr. Haines' record has been
go.u and safe one. lie has fully car.
ried uu, tn pledge he made to the peo-
pie when noinlnated one year ago, and In
this has made himself worthy of renewed
confidence. His record has been free
from the slightest taint, leaving the ses-
sion at It's close every whit as good man
as when he appended his name to the roll
OF House membership. While this can
not be SAID of every man who enters and
leaves tie New Jersey Legislature, and
while it should be said of every man who
officially serves the state, it is not little
thing to have it said Of Mr.. Haines that he
served his constituents in particular, and
the State at large, with zeal, fidelity and
strict integrity. Mr.. Haines' past record
Is guarantee tor the future.
