PFC NIc.-On "Wednesday of last week,
the pupils Of the Eight Square School House,
near Summit Bridge, Del, held pic mic in
Clayton's woods, on the road leading from
Summit Bridge to Mddlctown. TO say that
it was one of the plcasantcst and incest got
up affairs of the season would be doing no
more than simple justice to the school and
its instructrcss, Miss Carrie II. Moore, for
merly OF Elklon. Arrived at the woods, 50
perfect were the arrangements and complete
the programme, as to make the occasion one
Of interest and pleasure to all. The school.
having learned quite IL nnmbcr Of beautiful
songs suitable TO the occasion, was arranged
in classes for the singing of the same, and
at the command Of the teacher each class
performed its part in such a manner as is
acquired only by much practice and strict
discipline. In the midst OF this intellectual
feast, however, the wants Of the curporca.
man were not forgotten, and ice cream, cake,
&c., &c., abounded-as did also the youth
and beauty OF the surrounding county,
The whole affair reflects much credit upon
Miss Moore, and will not soon be forgotten
by her and her interesting charge.

A TEMPERANCE SERMON. Those who, de.
spite of the threatening aspect of the weather
last Sunday evening, went to the NJ. L.
Church, heard a sermon that was truly q

Trenton, Nd, preached from Prov. XIX

and it is to be hoped that his discourse here
may have good effect, as there is entirely
to much winking at tipping, even on the
part Of many church members. The tenn

in nearly every part of the country, and it
would be happy thing for this community if
our young men could be induced to form so.
cicty. This is the only way to stay the tide
of debauchery; prohibilory laws have been
proved to be abortivc. And the proper
course for those interested in the welfare of
the rising generation to take is for them to
join and help advance, by concerted action,
the cause of total abstinence.

Under the present Constitution Of

pie are denied political rights, they should
not be used as an element OF political power.
And the negro. SO long as he is deprived OF
the RIGHT Of suffrage, should be excluded
from the basis of representation. Previous
TO the adoption of the present Constitution,
the negro, whether free or slave, was incud
ed, equally with the white man, in the basis
Of representation, and the small COUNTIES
where the slaves were largely in the maiori,

retain their political strength and influence
IN the Legislature. BY this means Charles.

Georges, with y heavy population Of slaves.

semblng Of CONGRESS in July, and saws:

scmbling Of Congress in July, and says:
The South has done rotlling to impede the operation
If the reconstruction law but, ON the contrary has
shown general disposition to conform to its require
nruts.'
We agree with our conservative cotcmpo,
rary, in the main, about the temper Of the
South, and presume it will hardly have the
holdneSs to deny that the operation OF the
reconstruction act has been impcdcd. And
if not by the South, by whom? Certainly
not by the Radicals. Certainly not by
S,ckles, Sheridan and the other generals in
command in the South. They are all friendly
to the law and are doing everything possible
to have it properly executed. Who, then,
are It's enemies and opposers? Who but
the President and his plant Cabinet? From
the day of its inception up to the present
hour Andrew Johnson has opposed that wise
and righteous act in every possible way
He has left no stsne unturned TO retard its
operation and defeat the object of its fran,
ers. With doggcd determination to thwart
the plainly expressed wishes of the people
and carry out his wicked purposes, he has
Schemed and planned, and finally through
his tool Stanborry has promulgated an opin,
ion which renders the law inoperative.-
Andrew johnson is the most vindictiyc foe
to the peace and prosperity of the country,
that now brcathes, and the worst enemy the
South has ever had. How much longer
must we be cursed with his rule?

DELAWARE AND MARYLAND PEACH CRop.
"A letter from Lincoln, Sussex county.
Delaware, says: "The peach yield this
season, according to present Indications.
will be almost without precedent. Peach
growers are more concerned lest there should
be an excess Of production and a guued
market than they are on any other account
The failure Of the peach in New Jersey
serves to direct attention now more than
ever before to Delaware and the Eastern
Shore OF Maryland as the tavorite regions
for peach orchards, and the number oftrees
set out recently can be reckoned only by
tens of thousands. In this ncighborhood
there are two new orchards, each comprs

trees, and smaller ones of two thousand or
four thousand are found wherever the soil
is most favorable. .n-JVH. Commercial.
