Death of William j. Bruce,

i
William j. Bruce died in Philadelphia
on Wednesday. He was native OF Som
erville. About fifteen years he went to
Burlington and was for long time con-
nected with the Enterprise. He was also
legislative correspondent, and held
clerkshIps in the state senate. When
Gen. Sewell was elected United States
Senator he made Bruce his private secre-
tary, and at the expiration of Gen. Sew
ellis term he became Secretary of the
Senate Library Committee.
About two years ago his health began
to fail, his nervous system became a
wreck and he became constant charge
upon his family and friends. At the time
of the beginning of his final illness, he
was the secretary OF the State League of
Republican clubs, which position he was
obliged to resign on account of his health.
His condition became such that it was
vate hospital in Philadelphia. This was
done, and he was soon so much improved
in health as to permit his return home.
His wife died about five months ago, and
from that time his health again began to
fail and few weeks since it became
necessary to send him to Kirkbride's asy-
lum, in Philadelphia, where he died.
Mr.. Bruce was an ardent Republican
and did considerable work for the party.
He had large acquaintance all over the
state.

CRANBERRY Growers Call.

A. J. Rider, of Trenton, who recently
returned home from his trip to Europe,
where he went to introduce the American
cranberry, was given a reception at his
home, on Wednesday, by large number
of cranberry growers from all parts of the
country, who called to extend their con-
gratulations on the success of his Euro
pean mission. After partaking of refresh
ments, in which cranberries had not been
forgotten, Rev. E. H. Durell and others
extended their congratulations in appro-
pirate remarks, and Mr.. Rider was called
upon for an account of his work. For an
hour and twenty minutes Mr.. Rider en-
tertained his guests with a detail Ct his
experience and operations. beginning
with his experience on shipboard.
From the chief steward and chef on
board ship he discovered the secret why
cranberries were not appreciated abroad,
in the fact that their attempts to cook
them had been in metal utensils, the pc
culiar acids of the cranberry acting upon
the metal and destroying the delicious
flavor of the fruit.
Immediately on his arrival in Liverpool
he had cards printed explaining the
character of the fruit, with a scientific
analysis showing its combination of acids
and with specific instructions for its cook
cry, and with this material began hi
campaign of education, the results o
which have been pretty generally an
nounced.
He had made way with some five thou
sand crates of cranberries at remunerativ'
prices where no profit had been anticipat
ed, and where five hundred crates o
cranberries each year had previously sup
piled the demand. In the detail of hi
experience he gave both instructive anC
amusing incidents which were both graf
flying and pleasing to his hearers.
The growers present were most cordia
in their expressions of gratitude to MI
Rider upon the tact and skill he had thu
displayed in inaugurating a campaign
which promises such good results, an,
which, if properly pursued, will dispos
of a surplus which has been looming u
to the Encouragement of cranberry grow
ers for several years past.
There were present from New Jersey
