Last weeks crop Report.

The observers and crop correspondents
of the New Jersey Weather Service report
that during the week ending Friday, July
81, 1891, the rainfall has been above the
weekly average, and very evenly distribu-
ted, all stations being visited by heavy
showers on several days during the week;
also that the temperature and sunshine
nave been below the normal, cool and
cloudy weather generally prevailing. These
conditions have been most favorable to
the growth of all crops, except vine truck,
which is somewhat retarded. Corn is
reported to be in a most promising con-
dition in all sections, and the prevailing
cool weather has not affected its growth.
Oats are being tbreshed, and the yield
will be from forty to fifty bushels per acre.
Fruit is abundant and the market is kept
we'll supplied, with prices tending down
ward. Peaches seem TO be ripening i'm
perfect, being destitute OF fine color, flavor
and size. Potatoes also are ruling lower
in price, but the prospect for a full crop the
State over is not certain. The present out
look for corn, even though sufficient rain
and warmth should be supplied, will not
warrant the hope Of a full crop. Cool and
dry weather in many parts of the State
have made the crop about two weeks
behind its usual growth at this date, and
should cool nights prevail during August
it will not each perfect results.

Our sunday school picnic that went out last

Da re,ov Church Anniversary.

1t was our privilege last Sabbath TO
attend tho commemorative services of the
150th anniversary of the organization Of
the Pittsgroye Presbyterian church, a very
interesting occasion 10 those who are con-
nected " it'll its history, either by ancestry
or by adoption into the church family.
Every available spot of the platform in
front of the pulpit was occupied with pot
flowers OF almost every variety. Suspended
under the arch of the pulpit were the APP
propriate and significant figures, "174l-
1891" They span a century and a hall,
one column resting on the present, the
other reaching away over and back into
the past. How crowded with eventual
history, not only of this country but Of the
world, are the years embraced in this
church's life. It's organization antedates
by a considerable number of years any of
the preliminary events OF cur struggle for
national independence, being organized on
the Both OF April, TAI. 1t was the first
church established in tie township while
it embraced all the territory OF Upper
Pittsgrove and Pittsgroye townships-in
other words before the division of the
township into two. There seems to be
some evidence from the minutes of the
Synod Of New Jersey OF a pre-cxistant
church somewhere in the neighborhood OF
the present one, but it is difficult to locate
its site. And.tke question is, had it any
immediate connection with tho present one.
We were told some years ago by one who
had long been a resident of that commun-
ity, and who seemed familiar with its
traditional history that for some consider
able len 9Th of time prior to the organiza-
tion of this church it was the habit of the
people for miles around-some Of whom

gregate once a month in the immediate
locality of the old church building through

Bic watermelon Giut.

Two hundred and ten carloads of Georgia
and South Carolina watermelons were
strung along the tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad in Philadelphia on Monday
awaiting delivery. AS the average ear con-
tains 1000 melons, there was by adding
the stock on hand at the different commits
sion houses, one melon for every fourth
man, woman aud child in the city. There
was a complete glut, and many thousands
will be left to rot on the hands of the con-
signees. The freight which is from 500
to $3.50 each car, is guaranteed by the con-
signees.
The melons were offered as low as So a
hundred without sales. One lot of the
Jumbo" variety, the melons averaging 80
pounds each, was sold at 81 a hundred,
which did not pay the freight. In the pres
ent condition of things the shipper gets
nothing, the transportation companies get
their freight and the consignees are out of
pocket the sum paid for freight, less the
money they get for the melons. To add to
the trouble New Jersey is beginning to send
in her productions quite freely.

Street Grading.

Street Commissioner Biggers was
allowed by the City Council one
hundred dollars to be applied to
grading streets other than those
macadamized. Thus far MIR. Big.
gers has graded the streets in %
blocks in the First, Fifth and Sixth
Wards at a cost of S26.75. In the
First there has been expended $3.50 ;
Fifth, $500 Sixth, S13.25. Here
tofore six horses have been worked
to the grader. Mr.. Biggers uses
only four, and has a plow TO so in
front of the grader, by which means
cheaper and better work is done.
The streets in all the wards will be
graded and fixed up in shape just as
soon as the work can be done. The
Street Commissioner says che S10C
appropriation will be sufficient to
grade every street in the city. Big
gers says also there is no probabili-
ty of the prisoners bringing the city
out in debt under his administra.
ton. He stays with his men and
sees to it personally that they moi
only put in full time, but they also
dc good work.
