Yesterday to changing the time OF meeting OF the
house TO correspond with the hour the Senate had
nxed Tor the commencement each day OF the trial OF

Speaker, as well as OF the journal clerk, that the
question had already been setted but as several
gentlemen insisted that there should be quorum in
order to determine the question, the Speaker did not
on mere recollection OF facts In the absence of the
Journal feel at liberty to take away any rights which

reaa tne resolution adopted on the Goth OF March, and
whch was reported by Mr.. Boutwell,, as follows:-
Resolved That on the days when the Senate sitting

This new and beautiful steamer, which was
to have made her complimentary trip last
week, was necessarily delayed until Wednes-
day of this one, when, with large party of
ladies and gentlemen, she steamed gracefully
down the creek on the excursion. Captain
Mcintyre and the directors had everything
arranged in the most complete style, and she
sat upon the water with queenly beauty
that involuntarily inspired just pride in the
vessel which bears our city name. The party
proceeded in the merriest manner to Salem,
where dinner was partaken, to which the
guests with appetites sharpened both by good
humor and the fresh air from the water, did
ample justice.


The East Lake Band enlivened the occasion
with excellent music, and refreshments were
served on board by G. Albertson. The City of
Bridgeton will make an excursion to Cape
Island in about two weeks.

Sometime since a gentleman hvlng


near Dividing Greek, in this county, re-


lated to us his experience in taking a


wagon load of blackberries to the Phlla-


delphia market, before the cars COM


menced running from Brideeton, and at a


time when there was no steamboat run
ming between here and that city


The berries were placed in large boxes,
containing bushel or more each. The
wagon was loaded and the establishment,
IA one horse affair." started on the
journey, distance of sixteen miles to
Bridgeton, and forty more from here to
Philadelphia. The weather was warm,
as usual in blackberry time, the horse
having been exposed to the green heads
and mosquitoes during the season hadn't
any blood to spare, (not being blooded
animal, and consequently needed all the
strength he could muster, to reach his
destination. On arriving at Camden, or
perhaps Red Bank ferry, (the shortest
route being most desirable,) it was dis
covered that the berries had settled con-
siderably, and would not measure as
much as when they started. The effect
of the heat and jolting upon the berries
had also caused them to assume somewhat
of liquid state, and to filter through the
small crevices of the wagon. By the
time they arrived in Philadelphia it was
discovered that their natural sweetness
was rapidly disappearing, and the quicker
they were disposed Of, the better for the
owner. Some were sold at nominal
price and some given away. One lot was
traded to liquor merchant for a gallon
of brandy, (not SO valuable in those days
as now). The load having been disposed
of, and the proceeds expended for some
oats for the faithful animal, and provis-
ions for the owner, (enough perhaps to
last till they arrived at Dividing Creek,)
they started homeward, the blackberry
merchant rejoicing in the assurance of
having gallon of the pure stuff in return
for his load. when suddenly his horse
began to show signs of giving out, and
down he went in the harness. There
was no remedy at hand but the brandy,
and that seemed to revive and timber up
the animal. The giviug-out process was
repeated and the remedy applied until
the brandy was nearly gone. How much
of the liquor was consumed by the de-
jected owner of the blackberry establish
ment, we were not informed, but we un-
derstand that that was his last trip to
Philadelphia with that kind of convey
ance.


We relate the above to show the coD-
venience and comfort, to say nothing
about the profit, of marketing berries
without Railroad or Steamboat facilities.
We trust the day is not far distant when
there will be Railroad from Bridgeton
to Port Norris, which will open up
section of country possessing many
natural advantages, and capable of pro.
ducing enough, with the extensive
oyster trade and passenger travel, to
make the road paying institution.

On Wednesday of this week, the two Sab
bath schools connected with the Methodist
Episcopal church. in our city, made an ex-
curslon to the splendid excursion ground of
the West Jersey Railroad, at Union, near
Glassboro


The excursion passed off in the pleasantest
manner, and afforded the fullest enjoyment to
the children in whose behoof it was gotten up.
The large timber shaded the ground from the
rays of the sun, and the absence of under
brush gave as free a circulation of air as the
heated term rendered it possible to receive,
and the good things which had been provided
for the occasion, were eaten with relish
which would have been impossible in the hot
rooms Of a dwelling. If any body would know
how good food may be made to taste in this
hot weather, they have only to pack up a bas-
ket full and go with some pleasant company
into the woods, on on excursion with the chill
dren of a Sabbath School. The Railroad
Company exert themselves in every possible
manner to make these excursions contribute
to the comfort of the people who may partic-
ipate in them, and the care of their conduc.
tors and engineers, in reference TO the youth
full passengers, is worthy of all commendation.

The present season has been all that the
farmers could desire for the production and
ripening of the various crops. Hay is more
abundant than for many years past. Large
quantities stacked in the fields as :he pres
ent barn room is not sufficient to contain the
enormous yield. Good timothy and clover
hay is selling at eight dollars per ton in the
field, or ten dollars delivered in the barn any
where within reasonable distance. There
has perhaps never been as much hay cut in
this par. of the State in a single season. The
wheat and rye crops are turning out exceed
ingly well, and the price keeps up higher than
it will probably be in short time. The oat
crop promises good yield, and potatoes look
well. The early crop was somewhat short
ened by the dry spell, but the late potatoes,
which are the principal crop promises large
yield. Vegetables and garden produce are
very abundant, and berries begin to come into
market. The cherry crop is comparatively
failure, and pears and apples will not be so
abundant as usual The peach crop of New
Jersey, Maryland, and Delaware will be very
light. Some of our dealers who have hereto
fore found no difficulty in purchasing large
quantities in advance, find it difficult to engage
what they want on account of the unfavorable
prospect. Grapes, which are becoming SO
extensively cultivated in South Jersey, prom
Use very large yield the present season; the
vines are loaded, and the number of vines are
multiplied by tens of thousands. Our Vine
land neighbors are cultivating the grape very
extensively, and the soil and climate here is
peculiarly adopted to their growth. Land
which two or three years since was not worth
more than thirty dollars per acre, now in vine
yards is worth several hundred dollars, and
the product of this season alone will amount
to hundreds of dollars per acre.

If there be anything in the wide world
and renders him Indifferent to his domestic
freside and the wife he has promised to
cherish, it is whining woman. TO hear
day after dat-in the morning when he
sits down at the breakfast-table, and in
the evening when returning from his
wearisome days labor-piteous complaints
like those uttered in dolorous accents;
"Oh, l have such headache I" or "my

The institution Of marriage has in view
the improvement Of the earthly condition
Of those who respect it. No person, man
or woman, ever contemplated marriage,
without expecting to better himself or
herself. A man who in freak of fancy
for pair of melting black eyes or
pretty face, hastily allies himself for life
with sckly wife, is certainly much to
blame if he exhibits a coldness of manner
toward her. He should have been moro
discreet in his choice. Rosy checks and
dancing health are very attractive to the
unmarried, and after marriage constitute
one of the strongest links that bind hus,
bands love. When year or two of tina.
close intimacy only found in welded life
has dispelled ali the romance that either
party entertained on the threshold, and
one realizes that the other is an invalid,
how much of bitterness is added to his or
her cup of married existence be other
things ever so abundant and luxurious in
her palatial abode. 1t may be laid down
as maxim, that in no other condition is
health so necessary as in the married re-
lation. Young man, if you would be hap-
py in your home: if you would avoid
companion with disposition to "whine,"
and thus render you permanently uncom-
Portable. see to 1t that yeur wife is a
healthy buxom lassie to whom headaches
and backaches are maryels of other folks
pretens ons.


Miss Muloch, in speaking OF the yindu-
ence OF women in society, uses the follow
ing language:


"Oh if gloomy women did but know
what comfort there is in cheerful spirit
How tho heart leans to meet sunshny
face. merry tongue. an even temper, apd
heart which, either natural, or, what is
better, from conscientious principle, has
learned to take all things on the bright
side, believing that the giver of life being
all-perfect love, the best offering we can
| make to him is to enjoy to the full what he
sends of good, and what he allows of evil
like child who, when once it believes
in its father, believes in all the doings
with it, whether it understands them or
not"


That husband who has perpetual
Sunshine in his home in the shape of
cheerful wife should be one of the hap
piest of men, and if he is not, Providence
has been too kind to him.


Everybody seems ready to give advice
to women. The above is sample of tho
way it is expected women can be scolded
