The OYSTER Bill,

The nonresident oyster bill is now in
the Senate and there will be several ex-
citing hearings on the bill during the
present week. 1t prohibits nonresident
oystermen from coming into theState to
the exclusion of native help. 1t is intro
duced by Austin, and backed by Senator
Stokes, and ne interesting facts have
been develop 4 in connection with this
bill. A letter that was exhibited shows
a new species of contract labor. A nan
in Baltimore who is a wholesale dealer
in help offers to supply any number of
oystermen for planters at the rate of $12
to SIS per month. and $18 to $40 for
cooks at the usual figure of 81 per man,
the same to be retained from the first
months pay and turned over to him.
The tone OF the letter indicated that he
had been in the habit of supplying q large
number of men to the oystermen of the
Maurice River Cove and the Delaware
Bay. He stated that there was an un-
usually good supply of experienced men
in Baltimore ready to go north at q
moments notice. 1t has been stated that
during an average season this one concern
sends from 600 to 700 white and colored
help OF this kind to New Jersey, and the
total number of foreign people employed
il over 1000. 1t is claimed that they
work cheaper and exclude the native help.
They are also irresponsible, causing more
or less disorder during the period that
they are employed.

TUCKAHOE.

March y, 1870.
To the Editor of the Pleasantville Press
| am somewhat interested in the pro-
gress of the movement to build church
at the new settlement OF Estelle, and as
pastor of the Baptist Church at Tucka-
hoe, have preached to the people at
Estelle on four different Sabbaths.
1t is my belief that the time has arrived
to erect a suitable meeting house with
regard TO location, for bad location is
not favorable for church progress. A
very desirable lot can now be secured on
quite reasonable terms, which would be
an excellent location for the house. Yes
terday, the Sth inst, preached in the
school house to an intelligent audience
among which were many bright boys
and girls.
The Tuckahoe Baptist Church has
agreed to take the enterprise under its
watchful care. The pastor will visit the
families and preach occasionally for the
people. If the friends interested in the
progress of the colony will give a little
financial aid the house can go up at once
and it will add very much to the pros
perity of the place. The cost will not
exceed four hundred dollars.
Contributions may be sent to Mr..
Bennett, stOrekeper, or his estimable
wife. or Mr.. Ephreim Steel, treasurer OF
the Board of Trustees OF Tuckvhoe Bap-
tist Church.
Very respectfully.

The Fire Test.

On Saturday afternoon several hun
dred people assembled near the toll gate
to witness the testing of the new Howe
Chemical fire engine which the Borough
has lust purchased for the protection OF
the property in Pleasantville. A house
of rough boards, twelve feet square and
eighteen feet high, filled with light wood
drenched with several gallons ofkerosene
roaring flame famed by a pretty stiff
breeze from the west. The flames had
got such headway before the engine was
set at work, it was the opinion OF nearly
all present that the fire could not be
subdued before the building was entirely
consumed. 1t was about an even chance
for several minutes, but the two streams
of chemicals and water finally conquered
the devoring element and the fire was
completely extinguished. The editor of
the PRESS was present to witness the
test and thinks:
1st. That the mass of flame subdued
was fiercer and of greater volume than
would be found in the burning of any
ordinary dwelling or store.
2nd. That the Chemicals will put out
fire quicker than water.
3rd. That pretty good supply OF
water is needed.
4th. That it would be good idea to
take a deep well or a big ditch along
with the machine whenever it is sent out
to extinguish fire.
There can be no question that a pretty
large mass of flame can finally be gotten
under control with any of these modern
chemical engines if there is plenty OF
water to operate them. Whether there
is any better machines than the Howe,
the spectators had no means of knowing,
for no other company entered into the
competition with it. They are all
worthless as an empty wagon without a
proper water supply. In that respect
everything was in favor of the engine at
the trial. Close to the burning building
was a big ditch of salt water,
and there was also plenty Of men to
