IN another column we publish a
committee report made at meeting Of
the New Jersey Horticultural Society
ut It's last annual session, which makes
serious charges against the Pennsyl-
vania railroad company as public
carrier; and unfortunately the facts
substantiate the assertion. II the
Pennsylvania railroad publishes Il
schedule for running its trains and
thereby induces farmers and fruit
growers to ship perishable freight to
distapt markets, aud then almost con-
tinually has their trains with this
freight arrive late, thereby missing
the early markets-which are the best
1t is certainly responsible for the loss
entailed. II accurate time Of arrival
and of prices realized at time of sale
and those of the early markets were
kept, it would form one OF the most
powerful arguments for a decision and
damages to the fruit growers. One
such would he potent in effecting a
remedy.

1.-THE CENTURY" IN RUSSIA.

f. w. HOLLIS, who was abroad last sun
mer, tells of an incident at Moscow, where
he came in contact with police regulations
Two letters which were addressed to him
were opened by the police before they were
delivered to him. A copy of The CeHfu,J
Magazine, for July, which had been sent to
him by friend, had the article on Count
Toistoi" and all the advertisements torn out.
Being at a loss to understand what possible
objection there could be to the advertise
ments, Mr.. Hollis introduced himself at
Police Headquarters as an American traveller
and made inquiry as to whyhis magazine had
been mutilated. With the hope Of gaining
the good graces of the official, Mr.. Hollis
ventured to suggest that there were numer-
ous soap advertisements in the parer, and
that he could understand from his observa-
tion that the importation of soap might be as
dangerous as an equal amount of dynamite
The humor Of his suggestion was entirely
lost on the officer, and it was with some diff
Guilty that Mr.. Hollis persuaded him that no
offence was meant. The officer then gave
the information that the police objection 10
the advertisements was that they contained
of 'irreligious books
Any book is termed irreligious that is not of
tie strictest orthodox Russian faith. Police
is extended TO newspapers as
well as to magazines. Newspapers are not !
to subscribers until twenty-four
hours after their arrival, and frequently have
entire columns obliterated with printers ink |
BY reason Of the censor's decision that news
articles about Russia are dangerous to the
iovernment-N YT,i5HNe, Dec rs, 1885,.

IF there is one man in Milford anx-
iOus TO engTave his name deeply in our
local history, the opportunity is now
ready for his energetic action, and the
subject is not Of herculean dimensions,
either; for it is no more than u vigor-
Gus effort to have the United States
Congress, now in session, pass an act
TO have the mouth Of our creek deep
ened aud the channel over the flats
protected and opened TO vessels draw
ing six feet of water at low TIDE. I'm
less something is done in this direc-
tiOn, our commerce and ship building
must come to an untimely end There
must be one man with political aspir-
ations who is willing TO do this much
for the people OF Milford and Cedar
Creek hundreds.

friends e0e,JzOheye:
> We mark 1887 with a star
in the history of our business.
The bright and good old year
fades out, but not so its ex-
periencesand encouragements.
Ten thousand thanks to
those who helped to crowd the
year with gratifying incident.
Accept our most hearty good
wishes and cordial congratu-
lations.
The impetus given by the
great current of events dash
ing through last year carries
us forward to attempt larger
things for the new year.
1888 shall be indeed a leap
year; better service and use
fulness in every direction.
In this lightning age we
cannot rest on past achieve
ment or crawl laggard-like
along.
Not even for one day shall
the store go into winter quar-
ters after its busy season, but
with tomorrow, the first full
business day of the new year,
we shall open the new cam
Daign.
Circumstances combine to
lelp us do some fine things
or our friends from the begin
ling of the new year.
We haven't more than a
ingle sentence to say about
rreat sales. We are making
hem every day. That's what 7
he store is for. We always !
ave lots of goods that are
marked down.
A daily drum-beat calls up I
Il the old soldiers of goods
nd gives them a double P
uick step toward the door. 8
So, then, note the fact that, S S
o matter what the reason, B
lere can always be found here R
ITS and lots of good things as
leap, and often cheaper, than /,
sewhere-reduced from day p
day. because they must be
osed out. =,
We cannot wait for a certain 81 s.
onth to sell down, but con- F
lually watch, like the look
1t on the ship. We seek the Al
zen channel of quickest pro- an an
'ess and steer clear of all
at stops our way. Al
Now, then, let us strike the
y-note of the new year.
