the days OF the Old Brewery, AT the Five Points,
New York, a woman and her only daughter. a
child five years of age, occupied a Ioathsom..
corner on the first floor. Ii was the custom OF
the mother, after having covered the child
with all the rags which had been collected
during the day. 10 place a few broken boards,
dignified by the title of a door, m such a posi-
lion as probably kept the horrible place half q
degree warmer than ~ would have been with
out such a shelter. On one occasion, after the
mother had adjusted the boards tor the night
the child probably experiencing some sensa-
ton of comfort, said, Mother, what does poor
people do that's got no door 10 cover them.

Saml Townsend, and received the appointment
through his influence. Like most men who
seek to oust the faithful Government officers
in our State, he has had barely sufficient bust

POPULATION OF NoRFoLK.-As we have
been frequently asked the population of Nor
folk since the city has been connected with Will

ing WHICH we find in q State papeF
s''The population of Norfolk, Va. with which
we have recently opened connection by the
Delaware Railroad, was in 1850, ID, 326, and in
1860, 1851, showing an increase of l,2SS, or
about 9 per cent. The population of Ports
mouth on the opposite side of the river from
Norfolk, was in 1850, 8, l22, and in 1860, g.
SOP, showing an increase of 1881, or about Il
per cent Thus Wilmington has increased
about six times as fast as Norfolk, and three
and half times as fast as Portsmouth. The
total population of the two cities of Norfolk and
Portsmouth by the above it will be seen was
%. .ll3, or 1905 more than the city OfWilming
ton.
We may add that since 1860 the population
of Norfolk has increased but very little, if any
BY reason of the war. One-half of it, inhabi

LAND BUYERs-Parties travelling on the
Delaware Railroad and its branches cannot
fail to observe the number of persons who are
looking for farms. - Delaware lands are
more thoroughly advertised by general and
local land agencies, in the Northern markets,
than those Of any other State, perhaps, and it
is through this means that these parties are at
tracted hither on prospecting tour.
These parties in many instances, own farms
in New York or one of the Eastern States,
which they can dispose of at 500, $3.50, 5000
or even $500 per acre. They can purchase
farm in Delaware for $40, $50 or $50 per acre.
Our railroad facilities place US as convenient
to the oity markets as any section Of the Union.
Much of the milk and butter consumed in the
city Of New YORK is produced over hundred
miles o6-in Orange county. We are but sixty
miles from Philadelphia Our land but needs
the same skill applied to it to make it equally
As productive as any in New York; some is
already so. Our farm stock is as susceptible
of improvement as our lands, We have war
mer climate, longer working season, cheaper
labor, fewer hills and rocks, less stony soil and
better matured crops The peach is indigo
nous to the soil, and is the staple product tc
many farmers. All fruits (save apples) ar,
better adapted to our soil than to that of tn,
North, and many portions Of the State can b
made to rival Long Island and New Jersey il
the products of the kitchen garden.
Many have availed themselves of the supe
rior advantages we offer, and have come t.
dwell in the land" At various points dow
the railroad the new, modern rn-styled residenc
marks their industry and taste, and makes th
country look far more inviting and attractive
In our own midst we see the beautiful coun
try seat taking the place of the old-fashionei
farm house, and the heretofore g solitary plac
made glad under their control. ' '.''.. pa
These men are generally persons Of enter

are raising the standard of agriculture in th
State. Purchasing their farms for less tina
half the sum they received for their Norther
tracts, they thus have working CAN'T

rural districts are made to possess that ne:

OF our farmers who neglect these outside q
