STATE AND LOCALS.

THE FESTIVAL. festival of the Smyr-
ma Benevolent Society will be held at Hoffeck-
er's Factory to o-morrow Thursday and Friday
evening. It is presumed that every citizen of
the town feels an interest in this entertainment,
and as also duty to attend it. Any move
ment to relieve misery and want in our midst
should, and we believe does, command the
hearty support of our citizens. The Society
deems the plan they have adopted the most
successful one to secure funds to replenish their
treasury, and expect to be more literally sus-
tanned than last year even, when the citizens
so heartily endorsed and so literally patronized
their festival. No one having the smallest
surplus in money and the least grain of chari-
ty can fail to attend.
The amount of suffering in our town is un-
known, except to those benevolent ladies who
seek to relieve it. How many knew, until they
read the interesting article we published last
week, that there were thirty-eight families In
town the size of Smyrna who had to appeal
to charity to sustain life? or that six hundred
| dollars had been expended to relieve the hun,
CRY and clothe the naked? How many even
knew that there was an organized society tc
dispense this charity?

Fruit Growers AssOcia-

A regular stated meeting Of the Peninsular Fruit
Growers Association was held in the Hall of the
House of Representatives, at Dover, yesterday.
The meeting was called to order by Dr. IT, Ridg-
ley, Vice President, who in the absence OF the IRE
sident, john P. Cochran, Esq, took the chair.
The minutes Of the last adjourned meeting were
read by the Secretary.
The Committee on Consignmenis and sales of
fruit being called on to report, Mr.. Todd, the chair
man Of that committee, stated that the committee
did not know they were expected to report at this
meeting, but if so they were not ready. lie asked
for an extension of time in which the Committee be
allowed to report, which time was allowed. .,

ventilation of fruit cars reported that no action had
been taken by the committee Of which he was chair.
man; that the fruit season was so far IN advance
the committee deemed it unnecessary now to con-
fer with the Directors of the Railroad Companies, bu
would take early steps to do so. He also asked fol
further time TO report, which>was granted.
f. The question of the general uniformity OF th'
size of peach baskets and crates was. then brough
up, pending which consideration an active debate
on the meri's of the sizes of one.half, five eghi

THE President AND THE GENERALs.-The
President seems to have a serious time with
the Generals. Having wound up the quarrel
with General Grant, he is now having little
misunderstanding with General Sherman. In
order to snub Grant as much as possible, the
President is eudeavoring to create new mil
itary district, to be called the Department Of
the Atlantic, to which he desires to appoint
Gen. Sherman, who is to make his headquar-
4srs at Washington and be breveted to the
rank of General, the same as General Grant.
The hrevet appointment has been sent to the
Senate, and was in the hands of the Military
Committee at last accounts, who have report
ed resolution to the effect that the Senate
does not approve OF breveting officers OF the
grade of lieutenant general and general. This
resolution was passed in accordance with the
wishes of General Sherman, it is understood
and was prepared by Senator Sherman, the
Generals brother. The General (now in St
Louis) teIegraphed to his brother as soon a
he learned of the Presidents intention, tina
he was opposed to the brevet system in th'
army, objected to coming to Washington
aud did not want to be brought into any polit
zeal complications or misunderstanding wit
Gen. Grant.
The President has been taken aback by thi
unexpected move on the part of Sherman, j
declining bis profered honors. He states tbs
the matter in question was discussed with. th
General previous to his departure for th
West, and he did not decline the propose
honors. He further states that the allege
dispatches to his brother are singularly at VI
Rance with the conversation ne had with hi
on the subject. 1t is stated, on the 9th
hand, that the President was well aware

u. 3. DIRECT TAx.-On Thursday last, in
the U. S. House of Representatives, Mr..
Schenck, of Ohio, introduced a bill to facilitate
the collection of the direct tax in Delaware.
Lasa Spring an assessment was made as basis
for collecting this tax, but it was set aside by
Commissioner Rollins on the ground of illegal
ity. The Assessor then went back on the last
State assessment, made in 1861, but it was
found almost impossible to collect the tax on
this assessment, so much property having
changed hands since that period. Besides,
all persons coming into the State since that
time would be exempt from the tax. The
bill to make the assessment of 1867 legal was
passed, and the collection of the tax will be
proceeded with Immediately, we suppose. The
new assessment will increase the valuation sew
eral millions of dollars over the old one. The
amount to be raised is about STAG

SMYRNA SEMINARY-By reference to our
advertising columns it will be seen that our
Seminary will open under its new management
on the I'd of March. Prof j. III. Bechtel, a
graduate of the Pennsylvania State Normal
School and an experienced teacher, has been
selected as Principal and will be assisted by
Miss NJ. Anna Offley, well known among US
as successful preceptress. We believe the
institution will be one of the best in the State,
and command liberal patronage, not only
from our own citizens, but from abroad.

LIFE INSURANCE u.s. SCARCITY OF MONEY
So great has the business of life insurance be-
come, and so large is the number in every
community who have availed themselves of it
as a means of investment, that some of our cit
liens are discussing the question whether it
does not tend to make money scarce in our
midst by reason Of the large sums sent away
annually from the town to keep up the premi-
ums on policies. We have heard no estimate
of the aggregate thus sent from the town, as
it is not known how many are insured nor the
amount Of their policies; but we are of opin-
ion that it is much less than many suppose,
because large majority are insured on the
half note plan. That it has some bearing
in that direction is evident, but it must be re-
membered that large sums are also returned
to individuals Tor their estates.) A man who
dies insured in the sum of $1,000 has much
larger sum returned to his estate than he could
have possibly sent away in the shape of pre-
miums; and in some instances not more than
one or two premiums 1920 or $3O0) were paid
thereon There are two sides to the question.
The only way to prevent this export of cap
ital is to organize local life insurance compa-
nies wherever sufficient stock can be raised to
support them and there's the rub We
have one such in the State, which is prosper
ing finely we believe.
This is one advantage of loan associations
they concentrate capital The money rarely
leaves the town in which the association exists.
Another important contrast between them and
life insurance is, they benefit man if he lives,
while the other benefits if he don't live.
AS an illustration of the advantage insur-
ance companies are to community, We see il
stated that the city of Hartford, Conn, de-
pends almost solely for its business upon its
insurance companies. Millions of dollars are
sent to that city annually from all parts of the
country to pay premiums on insurance policies
of various kinds.
We give these matters as suggestions; throw
them out as fcelers," which our readers are a
liberty to discuss at pleasure: Our variou
Agents are amply able to take care oftheir sid
of the question.
