For instance—A party purchasing a lot for $500, and have a cottage erected, say of eight rooms, which would cost about $1,000, we would take the two-thirds of the cost of said house and leave the remaining third, which would be $333.33, the price of the lot being $300 making a mortgage of $633.33. The rent of the cottage similar to the one above mentioned, at any seaside resort, would cost about $400 for the season, which usually would have to be paid in advance, and would never own a board in the same. In this way every person can have a cottage at the seashore. For Further Particulars apply to JAMES V. LAFFERTY, Sec'y, 106 MARKET ST., CAMDEN, N. J. Hotels, Etc. WESTERN HOTEL, S. E. Cor.

A young boy named Thomas Blair was accidentally shot by a playmate named Edward Milliken, on Saturday, at Dunellen, Middlesex county. Blair is not expected to live. Milliken was playing with his father's gun. A sixteen-year-old boy started a fire in the woods near Elmer, Salem county, one day last week, to 'burn mosquitoes.' The mosquitoes were burned, and so was about $1,500 worth of standing timber, cord wood, rails, &c. The Butler Hard Rubber Company, the main industry of Bloomingdale, employing several hundred hands, has posted a notice that the factory would run but three days a week (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday) until July 1st, as they are unable to dispose of their goods. On Monday morning the body of a man was found lying in a field near the Manasquan river at Point Pleasant. A quart bottle partially filled with whiskey was found by his side. The man was identified as Wm. McMeckin, a plasterer, who had been in the employ of Newman Bros. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of death from over-indulgence in liquor and exposure. A reporter of the new Brvnwick Fredonian has been investigating the workings of the East Brunswick township poorhouse, and his report of the condition of affairs there will no doubt attract the attention of the next Grand Jury. Inmates are half starved and half clad, no care at all is taken of the sick. The keeper of the poor is a German butcher named Hamann, who has been in the position only about six weeks.
