PennsgrOve Points.

If the wretched roads between here and
Pennsgrove did not make it so much of a
torment to get there by any Of the means
of lOcOmotiOn now in use, our people
might often with profit avail themselves of
the refreshing river breeZes to be enjoyed
there. Since the opening of the Delaware
River Railroad to That place. and the THROW
ing into the market of available building
lots, Pennsgrove has had a boom, the number
of residences has nearly doubled, an entire
new street of handsome houses having been
built up within a year OF two. The close
communication with the Wilmington and
Philadelphia markets brings lots of pro
duce and people into Pennsgrove from the
Jersey farms, and lots of people come from
the other side of the river on pleasure bent. SO
that the townnearlya always presents a lively
appearance. Picnics and excursion parties
land there every day, and one day last
weekysa Thousand people came over from
Wilmington to take the ears on the Della
ware River Road for Atlantic City We
drifted down there on Sunday last to enjoy
the breeZes and see what was going ON.
The Reybold on her "trip down the river
in the afternoon must have landedla at least
five hundred passengers at the They
came down for the river ride, and returned
in an hour or two ON the Delaware or
Cylde both of which stop thereon then up
trips.
The crowd seemed orderly and respect
able and might well be excused for flying
from the heat of the city ON such a scorch-
ing day. The pier was lined with people
fishing for crabs, and several baskets nearly
filled with a wriggling mass of CLAWS
showed their success. The streets of the
town are good but in the older portions
better. sidewalks are an immediate neces-
sity. u
On our way home we halted a short time
at Divers woods where the colored people $
camp meeting had just opened. Ike after
noon services We're over and but q handful
or people remained on the ground, but we
were assured that next Sunday would be
the great day of the feast. s.,.

A Chat with a Residentof that Section
of the Country.

NJ. Rudolph Henke, of Cheyenne Pass,
was in the city yesterday. In talking
about the fences, he said he thought they
would all eventually come down. Speak
ing about fences, though" said Mr..
Henke. Zone of the most important things
about the stock business is the water. A
law should be passed so that provisions
would be made for watering the stock.
With the creeks fenced up stock are often
times compelled to drift for miles before
they can get to water. Now if there was
a law passed compelling persons so fencing
up the creeks to provide openings 50 that
the stock could easily get at the water,
say once in about every three miles, much
good would be accomplished.
The mail service to Cheyenne Pass or
Walbach is said to be very poor. About
thirty people receive their mail at hat
point and they are all wondering what has
become Of a petition forwarded long ago
to the Postmaster General. As it is now,
mail intended for Walbach is sent to
either Silver Crown or Horse Greek and
of course allowed to remain there until
called for unless some one is paid to take
it to Walbach. As the distance from
Walbach to Silver Crown is twenty-five
miles the people of the former place are
but very little convenienced by sending
their mail to Silver Crown, the distance
to Cheyenne being but FIVE miles greater.
A good deal of dissatisfaction exists over
the matter
