bought early in the season for $3.50 800
and $40. 90 per gross for pints, quarts and
! gallons, have recently advanced to ell
90 $12.00 and SIS. 90 and are very scarce
at that. The prospective bounteous crop
crop of fruits is said to be the cause Of
this advance in prices.

them to the farmer promised to take the
entire seasons crop at ten dollars a barrel,
but the trouble is that scarcely any of the

Many persons thought there were sey
eral days in the month of June just closed
| that were the hottest for many summers
but the average temperature for the montl
was one degree cooler than June 1874 anC
1888, the temperature for the two seasons
mentioned being the same, 81 degrees. The
temperature was the lowest in 1884 wher
it was Al degrees, and in 1870 and 1879 i
was alike-49 degrees, which was exactly
| tue same as for this month.
A positive nuisance has grown out of
new advertising trick by which certain

lawn in this way demanding a larg,
sale in return for a cheap bicycle. The
trick is practiced to such an extent tina
the average neighbours child is ten time!
more of a terror than nature made him.
1t is safe to say that if all fakirs, whethe,
they be selling medicines, bananas, or any
other articles, were obliged to get theil
permits to occupy the entire centre of thu
| town from the business men around tht
! corners, there would be fewer of them t.
inflict us. How much the treasury of thu
town is benefited by them we have III
means of knowing, but this much we d.
know, that they're a nuisance and not on
of them should be permitted to open VI
their brawl to the injury of our HON,
dealers, and in many cases to the injury o
| all who purchase their offerings.
When President Harrison passed through
and stopped at Camden N his way VI
from Cape May last week there were man.
to greet him, and, if the Vineland Journa
is to be believed. one of those who shool
his hand was a Vinelander Who had shaker
hands with "Tippecanoe." The Vine
lander was quite pleased to get a hand
shake from the President, and took thu
opportunity to tell him that he was a lead
ing Prohibitionist and Alliance man, ant
that the strength of the Alliance was in
creasing and the Prohibition vote woult
surprise the nation this fall; also how thu
delegates from his town would probabl.
stand and how crops were, generally speak
ing; that mosquitoes have not yet arrived
and the rosebug had disappeared. 1t j
said the President was real pleased to hea
from South Jersey.
