Beverly banner. [volume] (Beverly, N.J.) 1877-1964, 1883-06-30

Mr.. William w. Snyder, engineer of
the tug Hamilton Disston" Of Phia-
delphia, and Miss Ella R. sister of Mr..
Edward f. Vansciver, produce shipper
at Beverly station, were married in the
Charleston M. E. Church an the 10th
instant by Rev. ID. w. G. Mcintire
assisted by Rev. G. H. Campbell of the
Richmond Presbyterian Church, Phila-
delphia. We learn that this is the first
wedding yet held in the church since its
erection.
About ITO members of the Junior
Order American Mechanics which was
in session in Philadelphia last week,
accompanied by their lady friends,
enjoyed trip up the river on Friday last
on the steamer Gem, which was charter
ed for the occasion. On the trip down
the river they landed at our steamboat
wharf and partook of dinner at the
Beverly Hotel and first class repast
was provided by Mr.. B. Emo. After din
ner game of base ball was played on
the lots near the City Hall, at the
conclusion of which the visitors left for
Philadelphia, having spent pleasant
day.
The Summer time table of the Am
boy Division ofthe P. R. r. went into
effect on Monday last, and taken alto
gether we think it one of the best yet
issued for the convenience of the travel
ing public. Through the suggestion Of
station agent Huff, the "fast line" arriv-
ing here at 9.24 A. M. now stops at our
station, and will be very convenient for
travellers to New York, and those of our
people who have business with the bank
at Burlington, who can return at 1904.
The 7.44 P. M. train to Philadelphia,
and the night train on Sundays will also
be acceptable to travellers. Superinten
dent Buckelew has certainly looked after
the wants of the patrons of the Division.
Two ladies from Edgewater Park
imagined they saw ghost in the Metho-
dist church yard last Thursday night.
They had been to the Farnum School
exhibition and were on their way home.
They retraced their steps and, meeting
some young men on Jennings street, re-
lated their experience, when the bold
fellows rushed for the supposed ghost,
phantom was discovered to be young
lady dressed in white, who was waiting
for her escort to bring the team from the
carriage sheds in the rear of the church
lot. Apologies followed, and the affair
was enjoyed as good joke, although the
Edgewater ladies went to the station and
took the IL O'Clock train for home.
Our farmers are rejoicing over the
fine or ops which the fields are promis-
ing. The grass and grain crops are full
and fine, clover being very fine this year.
The fruit crops will also be above the
average. In fact year of such general
excellence in all crops has not been
known in long time, though last year
was very fair. With these facts known
business ought to be improving, for when
the farmer is well-of we ought to be
prosperous When the crops are sold we
predict more prosperous business
throughout the country, for what we say
of Jersey may almost be said of the other
states. In Spring wheat, New Jerseys
average is the highest and the Jersey
Red will still remain the favorite wheat
in all the states.
New YORK SEVENTH REGIMENT

satisfied with an almost endless chain of
musical and military attractions, an out
line of which has already been stated,
Cape May comes out with the announce

From the new edition of Messrs.
Geo. P. Rowell & Co. american Newspa-
per Directory which is now in press, it
appears that the newspapers and periodi-
Gals of all kinds issued in the United
States and Territories now reach the i'm.
posing total of Ii 1876. This is an increase
of 585 in twelve months. Taking the
States one by one, the newspaper growth
in some is very considerable. The pres
ent total in New York State, for instance
is 1,309-a gain of 80 in the past year.
The Increase in Pennsylvania is 48, the
existing number being 943. Nebraska's
total grew from IT'S to 201, and Illinois
from 800 to Q04 A wear ano Massanhn
