State Building Associations.

The fact is noted that the total as
sets of the building and loan associa-
tions in New Jersey foot up a grand
total of $14, ,739, ,27s, of which So, $50, ,s53
was net profit. There We're $4,000
shareholders. The assets averaged
$70,S62 to each association, or about
$3.50 to shareholder. A rough estimate
makes nearly two-thirds of the share
holders wage-earners, and these wage
earners are thus fortunately circum-
stanced largely through the beneficial
operations of the policy of protection.
In no other country does such a con-
dition of things exist. While the wage
earners of the old world eke out a
miserable existence, here, under the
benign influences of protective tariff,
they are enabled to enjoy life, provide
themselves with comfortable homes
and rear their families in comfort and
comparative ease. This it is that
makes building associations possible
and tends to elevate the working
classes above those of any other nation
on the globe.

Mr.. and Mrs. John D. Hewitt. of
Paulsboro, Gloucester county, N. j.,
on the goth inst, rounded the fiftieth
anniversary of their married life, and
to celebrate the occasion, their chill
dren, grandchildren, friends and rela-
tives to the number of over one hun
dred, assembled at the residence of
their daughter, Mrs. w. H. Quinn, in
Paulsboro, and had an enjoyable time.
They came not empty handed, but
brought many useful and fancy pres
ents, and over one hundred dollars in
gold. After partaking of bountiful
supper provided for the occasion, and
wishing the host and hostess many
years of continual happiness, they dis
persed for their homes. Those present
were from Philadelphia, Camden,

"A Jolly Social Party Last Thurs
day Evening.
A brilliant, as well as novel, social
feature was that on the handsome boat
"Georgeanna" last Thursday night,
and was enjoyed by about thirty-six
young ladies and gentlemen of this
city. Capt. Perkins had very courte-
ousiy thrown open the entire boat to
the young folks, and they accepted his
invitation with alacrity. The hand
somely furnished saloon cabin was
ablaze with light and gayety was
everywhere. The usual social games
were enjoyed by the party, and later
in the evening splendid refreshments
were served in the dining room on the
lower deck. Right here it might amuse
to tell little blunder made by one of
the fair guests. She arose from the
table and glancing in the rear of the
room perceived, as she thought, some
members of the party further back,
and had it not been for the presence
OF mind of some of the young gentle,
men, Capt. Perkins would have had to
purchase another large mirror, in
place of the one which had served to
delude the young lady.

the current business of the Circuit
Court, and the unavoidable absence of
the Circuit Judge and Justice, has
thrown upon him the trial and hearing
OF most of the cases on the term calen-
dars. In the midst of official duties.
Judge Nixon devoted portion of his
time to other objects. He has been,
since 1868, one of the trustees of the
College of New Jersey, and being one of
the trustees of the estate of the late
John G. Green, he has not only wit
messed, but, in some degree, has par
tlclpated in the measures and methods
which have been adopted to develope
the college into a position of larger
usefulness and efficiency. He was also
one of the founders, and the President
of the Board of Trustees of the Law
renceville school, for boys, which gives
promise of high rank among the pre-
paratory schools of the country. He
was an elder of the PRESBYTERIAN
Church, at Trenton, N. j., and has fire.
quently represented his Presbytery
In the General Assembly of the Church,
where he was placed upon their i'm
portant regular committees, and also
upon the committees for special work.
He was one of the lay members desig-
mated by the Assembly to revise it's
Book of Discipline. After years of
labor, the book prepared and reported
to the General Assembly by this COM
mittee, was approved by the Presby-
teries, and is now the law of this large
and intelligent branch of the Christian
Church. He was also commissioned,
by the General Assembly, as one of
the delegates from the United States
to the Pan-Presbyterian Council, which
met at Edinburgh, Scotland, in the
year 1877. The Trustees of his Alma
Mater took advantage of his absence
from the country on this occasion, to
confer upon Judge Nixon the honorary
title of Doctor of Laws.
