Philadelphia journals are discussing the
recent pbenomenally fast rim OF a Reading
railroad train to Atlantic City, and specu-
lating upon the almost illimitable posi-
bilities of rapid railway travel which that
wonderful performance suggests. The
locomotive which whirlcd seven heavily
loaded coaches from Camden TO Atlantic
City in 50 minutes and 40 seconds, or at a
rate Of mile a minute, is designated as
Number 1922 and is one of ten new en-
gines, all of similar construction. built for
fast passenger service on the Reading Rail-
roads Atlantic City line. They are OF the
strikingly peculiar design originated by
the Reading company. which now indis-
putably possesses the t~leetest and most eff
feetive motive power in this country. In
conjunction with the highly improved road
way and general equipment of the Read
ing's Atlantic City division, it may be set
down as a certainty that these engines will
surprisingly redace the time between Phil
adelphia and the seashore.

electric light in Woodstown is practically
assured. The next question to be consid-
cred, and one of equal Importance is
will the people accept it? That is are the
people as a Borough willing that our
streets shall be lighted by electric lights in
| place Of the oil lamps now in use In Or
der to ascertain the sense of the people on
this matter petitions to the Council of the
Borough to adopt the electric system are
being circulated for signatures so that each
one may have an opportunity TO express
his preference. So the question of electric
light practically comes to each of us. am
aware there are reasons to be offered for
and against it. As against it. the chief
objection is increased cost. But with the
increased cost it is presumed we are to
have increased benefit. Solar as am ableto
ascertain it now costs us about four hun
dred dollars a year to light our streets
under the present system of lighting. Under
the present system our streets are intended
to be lighted only about half the nights in
a year and then only until about midnight.
while it is a well known fact that often
most of the lights are out or SO smoked as
to become useless long before that hour.
1t is estimated that forty electric lights
will u streets much better than they
are lighted at present. It is also estimated
that at a cost of twenty dollars Der Iamp
they can be lighted every night in the year
and all night. While this would double
the present expense Of lighting it would
give us about four times the amount of
light considering the power of the electric
lights only equalto the present lamps, That
is, for the additional four hundred dollars we
would get about three times as much light
as we now get for the four hundred ex-
z1aAr1 DIT fx-t- ri il
streets after midnight?'' For two reasons
at least-comfort and security. Any one
who has been compelled to be abroad on
our streets at late hours, after they are
practically deserted and the lights out, has
felt a sense of discomfort in cropping in the
dark, not knowing whom he may meet. If
our streets are lighted at all hours it will
give us better security against evilly dis
posed persons. The burning of the barns
of Isaac Ballinger and Z. B. Humphreys
occurred at late hours-after the streets
were deserted and the lights out. Nothing
but providential circumstances in either
case saved valuable property and probably
a large portion of the town. No one | pre-
sumo questions but that each of these fires
were of incendiary origin. Had our streets
been SO lighted that any one abroad might
have been observed by any one looking
from q window or elsewhere the probable
tiles are neither of those fires would have
occurred. An evil disposed person, whether
he be incendiary or burglar, seeks the cover
Of darkness in the preparation of crime.
Ii then the lighting of the streets at all
hours Of the night will give us better secu-
rity is not that fact a valuable considera-
ton for the increased expense incurrede

A.ricm,taraa Experiment stations.

The attention Of our readers is again
called to the fact that tho State Ex-
pertinent Stations issue bulletins in which
are given reports Of experiments carried
on, aud other matters Of general interest.
These bulletins are sent free TO all who APP
ply for them in the State where located.
That farmers dorive benefit from these
bulletins there is no question, hence those
who have not already made written appii-
cation to their State station are advised 10
send their address without further delay.
AT tho various stations experts are em-
ployed in entomology. botany, chemistry,
Be-, for the purpose OF solving the many
questions that arc continually arising in
these varied departments. Farmers have
the privilege of sending to their own State
Stations for Identification and inspection
specimens of insect pests, plants, ores and
doubtful Fertilizers. Care, however, ought
to be taken not to abuse this privilege.
Specimens should be properly protected 50
as to reach the station in coed condition,
aud all communications written TO tlia
point and briefly as possible.

The burial of the late George Vaalear
from the old Friesburg parsonage, on We'd
nesday last, ~revives some almost forgotten
reeollections OF the place.
Many years since, perhaps nearly fifty,
George Fries. who died at Allowaystown,
left by viii the farm to the congregation of
the German Lutheran church AT Friesburg,
and it was held by them some eight or ten
years as q parsonage. But two pastors oc-
cupied it however, the Rev. Mr.. WiIlox,
who resided there over eight years, and the
Rev. Mr. B%riagman, but D short time over
one year, when the congregation concluded
to build the present parsonage near the
church. When Dir. W1lox took possession
Of the old Manse he was young and single.
but n few months later married q Miss
Mercy Weber, OF Pennsylvania, (his old
home) and while occupying the parsonage
united more persons in marriage, it IS said,
thana clergyman within a radius of sew
eral miles, and there are still living a nifm-
Der who at the time visited this quiet. out
ofthe-way place as free men and women
ana came away bound in the silken bonds
Of inatTimony.
Shortly after Mr.. Bridgnlan concluded
his tenantcy OF the place the parsonage was
sold. and after passing through several
hands at length came into possession of the
deceased, who resided thereon for over
thirty years. This Manse, or farm was sit
uatcd about half way between AHoway
aud Fricsburg and before the establish
ment of the Cohansey, z. O., near the lat
ter place, IL was the habit of Mr.. Yanlear to
go down, or send TO Alloway every Satur-
day for the Friesburg mail, and distribute
it The following day at tho Friesburg
church.
Mr.. Fanlear had many relatives scat
tered over u county among whom is Mr..
John Vanlear, at Friesburg and Mr.. Hor-
ace Vanlear at Alloway. lie also leaves

The following prediction appeared in the
New York Tribune lately. It came from a
~Jerseyman:
con the coming Fourth of July we are
to experience the worst storm, worst de-
struction of property and the worst de-
struetion of life. 1t is TO be another storm
on the principle IS experienced by the
Johnstewn people. Its centre lies near
New York city. Ia the morning the
weather will appear in its natural condi-
ton. as it would be an ordinary fair day.
but as the day advances the humidity Of
the atmosphere will advance with it, and
from seventeen minutes to / to twelve
minutes to 8 O'Clock, the humidity will in
crease SO rapidly as to be almost unendur-
able for human nature to stand. At the
expiration of the above interval OF time the
atmosphere will at once become cyclonic
in its nature, and great destruction of prop-
erty will follow in is course, together with
great destruction of life, If the people do
not prepare for it. Tie formation of the
cyclonie nature Of this storm will take
place in the northwest, and every eye
should be directed to that point of the COM
pass without fail on that day.
