Three times a day before noon the train can be taken for New York at an additional expense to be sure; but those opposed to hurry and bustle and slow transmit will rejoice nevertheless. It certainly is a great advantage, and seems to be appreciated as well by foreigners as by 'natives.

And then pointing to Tredwell he exclaimed in wrathful anger, Tve heard of you before, in York," "I am just as smart as you are," "yon can't cut my throat, take my money 'and steal my huckleberries." The barbers, of course, were greatly astonished, and asked him what he meant that they would not harm him. But still the infuriated man jumped around like a madman with the towel swinging from his neck, with hair dishevelled, with eyes protruded and glaring as though fiends were surronneing him, who were about to pounce upon him for his life, his money and his huckleberries. The barbers, always peaceful, inoffensive and quiet, owever, succeeded after mnoh argument and persuasion in pacifying the man soimagina-rily injured. They did not however get a chance to shave his throat or even wipe off the lather. The invincible Jake struck out of the shop and has not been seen "And after this I came away and in came a pig to be shaved."

He was ordered to remove a fellow from the grounds, who was violating the rules of the Association, and the man went along peaceably until they reached the en trance, when he refused to go out Officer Disbrow then attempted to remove him. and suddenly received a stunning blow on the forehfad, followed by others about the head.

When he ceased the occupancy of that house, abont the year 1861, he bought ont Capt Stone and kept the restaurant and bar on boad of the steamer Matteawan. He continued in that occupa tion, the bar was abolished about a year ago.

Since then he has been out of employment and began to give evidence of softening of the brain. The result was, that his friends found it necessary to remove him to the Asylum at for proper care and medical treatment. It was at that Elacerhis death took place. Capt W. had een a citizen of Keyport for abont 20 years, and enjoyed the friendship of a large circle of acquaintances, lie was born Oct 4, 1815, and therefore, at the time of his death, lacked not quite 3 months of the completion of his 60th year.

Keyport treeay. The National Baptist Association, a so cioty organized for the purpose of establishing a seaside settlement similar to the Presbyterian at (Jape May, or the Methodist at Ocean Grove, after examining the prominent points along our coast from Cape May to Long Branch, finally decided upon locating the settlement on the beach nearly opposite Uoodluck Point at the mouth of Toms River, and week before last the association concluded their negotiations for the same, nnrchasinsr of the Bond brothers some three hundred acres of land. The site is contiguous to the hotel kept by Capt Wm. Cowdrick. The bathing is fine and safe, and the beach as fair for the purpose sought for, as any spot on the coast.

On Thursday last, one hundred and fifty members of the association from Philadelphia, visited their recent purchase, for the purpose of forming their plans, and making arrangements to commence operations at once. On arriving at Toms River, the association left the cars, and embarked on board of several yachts which had been chartered to convey them down the river to their promised beach.

A Magnificent Gift. The Elizabeth Journal says; We were shown lost night the plans for a new edifice about to be erected by Messrs. R.

L. and A. Stuart, of New York, in Princeton, and presented as a gift to the Theological Seminary of that place. The building will be of brown stone, three stories high, surmounted by a tower, and will cost $100,000. The first story will be used as recitation rooms, the second for lecture halls, etc, and the third as a museum) The drawing represents the structure to be one of magnificent proportions, and the plans and style convenient and elegant The building will be a great acquisition to this old school of the prophets and an honor to the head and heart of the generous men who propose to erect it HarryP.

Jameibuig Sunday School Convention. The arrangements for the annnal James-borg Convention, which is announced to take place, on August 25th, are nearly complete, and the committee having the matter under charge promise an exceedingly interesting programme. The exercises will include a "Praise Meeting," to be conducted by Mr.

J. G. Gilbert, of Metuchen, and a "Children's Hour," devoted entirely to the children. Among the speakers is Dr. Warren Randolph.

The singing -will be led by a cornet, and a brass band will as usual furnish instrumental music We are also requested to state that excursion tickets will be issued on all the railroads, and "that arrangements can be made by Sunday Schools desiring to visit the grove in a body. Any information may be obtained by addressing the Secretary of the Committee, Mr. M. Oakey, at James-bnrg. Ohurch of Bose of St.

Lima. Rose of St Lima Roman Catholio Church was organized in the year 1856, under the diocese of Archbishop Hughes. The first session held numbered a membership of about 300. It has fluctuated somewhat in regard to membership, some years exhibiting an increase, while others decreasing, making the membership about the same as when organized. The present Father took charge of this parish July 10, 1871, and has labored earnestly to promote the welfare of the church and people.

The parish not only consists of this church, but includes those of Farmingdale, Big Woods Hulsetown, Colts Neck and many others, in all of which he labors zealously. The number of children at present id the Freehold parish numbers about 800. On Thursday last the church gave a picnic to the Sunday school. The day proved to be a balmy one, gratifying the anticipation, of the little ones. The parents also seemed to long for this day, though it was not especially intended for their pleasure.

Perhaps paternal interest of the parent to the child lead the parent to take such am interest in the annual feast. The children gathered at the church at an early hour, fearing that a little tardiness on their part might bereft them of the pleasure of accompanying their companions to the spot of pleasure. Rev. Father unceasing in his endeavors in making the affair as systematic as possible, and therefore more likely to be a success and add to the pleasure of alL The formation and execution of this feast bear much commendation towards the industry and skill which the ladies of St Lima of Rose exercise. The procession was dnly formed by the Rev.

Father adopting the order of placing a number of boys uniformed with a pretty scarf, currying guns, representing a company of infantry. Then followed in order a company of children, or young misses, having a medal attached to a blue piece of ribbon. This medal was oval shape, bearing an impress, emblamatio of the Holy A benevolent society next came with the name of "Rose of St Lima Catholic Benevolent Society of Freehold." The whole presented a tasteful appearance, and the order preserved was remarkable. The number in the procession we should think would reach to 120. The coarse of the march was from the church on McLean steeet to South, from South to Main, up Main to Denise's woods.

It was expected that the Farmingdale Catholio Total Abstinence Association, Marlboro Benevolent Society, and the Young Men's Temperance Association at Big woods would join with them, but owing to the busy season, were unable to do s. Some time in August a repetition is contemplated, when aU will join. On arriving at the ground, the children soon scattered to follow each one's will and inclination. The adults commenced preparations for conveniences to enable the little ones, and in fact all, to enjoy themselves. Swing, target shooting, sack racing, ring pitching, foot racing, dancing, pole climbing, and a game introduced by the Father, peculiar to his country, was indulged in here.

It consists of a muslin sheet, fastened attach corner with stakes a few feet from the ground. In the middle of this is laced some flour. There are three of these uilt in succession, a few feet apart The object in this game is to jump them without landing in the middle of the sheet and thus beooming white with flour. When a mishap occurs, it creates quite a laugh and sensation. No regular time for meals was set but eatables were placed on the table, free to all, when inclined to indulge.

The party broke up toward evening, the Rev. Father being the last one on the ground. All were pleased with the day's sport Many flattering expressions were uttered for the endeavors of the Rev. Father. Funny Incident An eieeedingiy lndierotrs incident occurred at the barber shop of Bodee Tred- weO last week, and for the benefit of our readers we have taken the pains to gather the authentic circumstances from head- qnarters.

Jake a peddlerNjf huckleberries and other perishables, entered the barber shop to get shaved, and having seated himself easily and leisurely, said Jake began to take minute observations of his He heard one of the partners splitting wood in a rear ground, floor room, and evidently supposed, from a suooeeding remark, that he was digging a hole. All this "Jake ob served with anxious suspicions and perhaps forebodings of approaching evil. Now, it so happened that Mr. Tredwell, the hole digger, had occasion to apeak privately in an rudertone-(to one: of the aasis-Unts, Who was entraged shavintf Jake. who was soon4o become the victim of our innocent barbers.

From the quiet manner of these suspected men. Jake apprehended a (treat oalamitv. a dark deed of mid-day assassination and a doleful burial after a hasty demise in yos- uer note, mrvxreoweil waadigging with his axe, really, however, splitting kindling wood. Jake 1'U bis chin down hard rot ---v 7 -it- city a select part of onr citizens went by train yesterday morning on a pleasure trip to Ocean View, a Summer resort which, from the superior natural and artificial ad vantages it attorcie, promises at no distant day to excel the best on the New Jersey or contiguous coasts. It is bnt two hours' ride from tbis-city, or seven miles nearer than Ooean Grove.

The railroad by -whkhitis reached runs through a section -ot country which as classed the-nohest, most picturesque, and historic regions in this country. Every inch of it has a history so grand in its connection witn tne revolution that it seems to be possessed of a halo of romance. At Bo nan Village the party, which had been somewhat augmented by acquisitions at different stations along the line, was met by N. W. Morris, the honored father of onr escort, and soon the carriages he provided were occupied, and with the Freehold brass band, having 18 pieces, proceeded through the pleasant village of abont 900 inhabitants to Ocean View, about half a mile distant, At Ooean View the party was escorted direcfly to the handsome Summer residence of onr genial host, Mr.

N. W. Morris, by whose munificence and enterprise as the progenitor of the Ocean View it has been made to assume its present attractiveness. But three years ago the place -was being used for agricultural purposes, but, with a foresight that was ered- lWUlO llUMiia aw crna as 11 Summer resort and purchased it It contains 60 acres, and is located on the northerly bank of Morris Lake, a smooth sheet of water, abont one-half of a mile wide by three-quarters of mile long, and nau-. ing an Outlet into wieocenu.

uu i upta is divided into 153 building lots, each 50 feet front by from 150 to 200 feet deep, and ranging in price from 8350 to $500 each. There are four avenues and two cross streets. The avenues are 60 feet wide, with 10-f eet sidewalks, and all graded as level as a plain, the handsome and dustless roads making excellent shady drives. Point Pleasant is abont a mile to the west and Sea Girt about the same distance to the east of Ocean View, the former being reached by a new bridge 2,000 feet long, built by Monmouth and Ooean counties. The cottage iq which Mr.

Morris resides is 34x36 feet and four stories high, contains 18 large; airy rooms and a piazza at the first story and another at the second, both extending all around the house and presenting on one side a view of the lake, dotted with pleasure yachts and skirted with variegated shrubbery, and beyond the seashore lined with bathing houses, and still beyond steamships and sailing vessels moving to and fro with their treasures, whilo from the other side is a view of the village of Squan and the surrounding country, the soenery of which is of the greatest and most picturesque variety. On the east of the lake is grove of tall and shady trees, with no nndercrowth to make a stroll throucrh it annoying. About five miles back from the shore are the richest mnrl beds in the world, and all along the shore, between Ocean View and Ocean Grove, are stylish villas, while within half a mile of Mr. Morris' cottage is the magnificent residence of Commodore Stockton. While the party viewed these surroundings from the piazza the band discoursed sweet music, including many favorite airs.

Among the party were ex-Gov. Newell, Judge McLean, Law Judge of Monmouth county, ex-Mayor Bricst, proprietor of the Trenton Emporium, Hon. Jasper Wandall of Jersey City, ex-Sheriff H. T. Cox of Trenton, Mr.

E. B. Bedle. brother of Gov. Bedle (who had intended to be present but for the G.

A. R. reunion at Newark, which called him away,) Attorney John Schomp of SomerviUe, and Dr. "Tendrops" Laird of Squan. After the band had ably rendered "Hail to the Chief," ex-Gov.

Newell being called npon for a speech, arose and said that he hod been agreeably surprised to see the wonderful improvements Mr. Morris had made in the past few years. He (the speaker) was thoroughly conversant with all the coast along New Jersey and Long Island, having been originator of the life-saving stations, by obtaining an appropriation of $10,000 on Aug. 7, 1847, from Congress, while he was a member of that body, and having ever since felt interested in the matter he hod. thoroughly familiarized himself with the coast, in learning the locations of the 40 stations now established, and he believed that Ocean View was one of the most desirable spots he had met with.

He knew of no point like it He had been a resident of the county nearly all his life. It was the homo of Ins father and mother, and of his ancestors for generations back, and he could say that Mr. Morris was among the most enterprising men, for in less- than three years he had made the" "desert to bloom as the rose." People of other States used to laugh at Jerseymen in ridionle, but now they are commending onr enterprise and seeking onr beautiful shores to refresh themselves during the Summer, believing there was no other place in the universe like them. After the remarks Mr. Morris had the company conveyed in carriages to the Os-born House, where an ample dinner was Erovided and done justice to.

When nishad Judge McLean, having been called upon by Dr. Laird, made a very interesting address, in which he related reminiscences of the county during the past twenty years. It made nun feel proud to see Mr. Morris and men like him developing the resources of Monmouth county, which by the last census is in point of agriculture the second in the United States. The value of property in New Jersey averaged $64 per acre while that of no other State went above $34.

Very much of this advancement is owing to just such men as Mr. Morris. Mr. Schomp made a few very happy re mark, which provoked mnch laughter. Others were abont to be called upon when it was announced that the yachts were ready, whereupon those who desired were taken on nn hour sail about tne lake, while the others enjoyed a drive to places of interest ad jaeent, and on returning to the Morris villa, the esteemed wife of Mr.

Morris having provided a collation, consisting of cake, fresh srweet milk and ice cream, invited the company into the dining-room to partake of it, which being done the party took an hour's loll on the pidzznv during which time ex-Sheriff Cox-P-ion red himself a lot from Mii Morrisj so wftlljjeasod.was he with the locality. Ex-GovA Newell, Hon. Charles Haight, Hon. Daniel H. Ellis, Prof.

H. Worrcl, Mr. Jesse Palmere, President of the erseyCity Insurance Company, Senator I. B. Conover, of Florida, and abont 100 others have secured lots, and already over a dozen cottages have been erected and are occupied.

Among those from this city who own lots there are Capt Elias Ross, (four lots,) Hon. Elias Runyon, Mayor Rolfe, Messrs. John Morris, Lewis T. Howell, Lyle Van Nuis, George W. Stelle, Charles S.

Strong, Isaac M. Fenn, George Buttler, and William S. Van Doren. These facts were obtained on inquiry while the party were preparing to depart Mr. Morris conveyed the party in carriages to the depot abont five minutes' drive, and after a cordial leave-taking Mr.

Morris saw his guests aboard the train which left the depot at four o'clock, and the party from this city arrived homo at si o'clock, jfhe day: will be remembered by the guests a one of the most pleasant spent by the seaside, made so by tne hospitable noat of tne occasion. No donbt many more of our citizens will soon be securing Summer homes for themselves and families at this resort The tide runs in that direction. The vents of all over-crowded cities are the seaside resorts. Year by year the American people realize more fully the vital importance of a season of relaxation from business as an essential to recuperation. Mentally and physically the worn and wasted energies are most effectually restored by the change of air and surroundings found only near where the ocean surges on the shore with its mysterious hum.

And those who most enjoy life are those who most thoroughly understand this economy of nature. They have a multitude of such people in Monmouth county. and conspicuous among that multitude is the genial N. W. Morris, Esq.

The glory won by the American rifle team in Ireland and England will probably give rise to a rifle-shooting mania in this country. Already a new rifle association has been formed in Poughkeepsie, N. and there are indications elsewhere of similar organizations to We whall have cf "cb arp shooters" -f tie next war.
