THE SEAsoN IN THE COUNTRY .-Notwith-
standing the reopening of the city churches
last Sunday, and that of the fall trade, and
the unmistakable addition of city element to
the large rural element which has predomi-
mated oil summer in the audiences which have
filed the theatres, many New Workers. will
wisely postpone their return to the business
and pleasures of the metropolis until the be-
ginning of next month. The artists partcu-
larly are glad to linger in their favorite sum-
mcr haunts and study form and color by the
seaside, or, inland, in mountain, valley, river,
lake, prairie and forest. They will thus be able
to enrich their portfolios with sketches for pic
lures that shall represent the unrivalled au-
tumnal glories Of American scenery. In Sep
TENDER and even in October the country is
far more attractive and enjoyable than during
the scorching heats Of summer, when it Is usu-
ally visited by fashionable tourists.

smoking keep the shippers of. If meat
becomes sour, the barrel should not be
used again, unless lime is Stacked in
the barrel, which will sweeten it. Beef
barrels should not be used more than 2
or 8 years. Hogs should never be
allowed to freeze; there is a great deal
of heat in a hog, and it is retained espe-
cially around the back-bone, ,on account
of the large proportion of fat there; the
fat will freeze for an inch or more, form
ing a crust which confines the heat
especially around the bone, and the
meat will soon become tainted and
spoiled.
Beef should be allowed to lay on the
table with little salt thrown over un-
til thoroughly drained, then salt it and
pour boiling hot brine over it, this
closes the pores and leaves it as when
salted.

GOf Inc 6aNeLLes
DIR. Charles Jewett has just eomplet-
ed a course of temperance lectures in
this place, much to the satisfaction of
our citizens. His audiences have been
large and intelligent: and the interest
excited unusually deep. The Doctor
understands his subject most thorough
lY, aud his lectures independent of their
influence in favor of temperance are
eminently worthy a hearing for the
scientific information they communi-
cate upon the laws of human physi0lO-
gy in relation TO health and disease.
Though Overfowing with genial hu-
NOR, Ghe lscturer has too much good
taste, aud is too deeply in earnest TO al
low it to betray him into any vulgar
lmproprieties. His arguments seem
imPreguable, and his paIhus at times is
deeply impressive. No one, it seems
to us, can candidly listen to his full
course withOuE being convinced of the
fearful danger of even a moderate use
OF Intoxicating liquors, in whateve.
form they may be taken. Could every
young man in the State hear these lee
lures, an untold amount of evil would
be prevented. We sincerely hope they
may be widely delivered.

TEMPERANCE LECTURES.-The course
oftemperance lectures advertised to be
delivered here by DR.. Charles Jewett
closed on Tuesday evening. His first
lecture, delivered on Thursday of last
week, was mainly on the subject of al
cohoI viewed as a narcotic and stimu-
liant.
The second lecture treated alcohol as
a non-nutritious element. The lecturer
clearly proved, by scientific investiga-
tion, that alcohol did not act as a nutri-
ment to the system, inasmuch as a
greater part of it went to the brain,
Corning brain poison, )and if any of it
passed away, it was generally in nearly
ITS original form, and could not by this
action afford nutriment to build the
system up properly.
The third lecture was delivered Sab
bath afternoon TO an overlooking house.
His subject was, "The harmony of the
Bible with the teachings of science in
reference to the use of Intoxicating
liquors" This proved to be a very able
and interesting lecture, the doctor pre-
facing the lecture with general state
ment OF the differences existing between
this great curse of intemperance and
other evils that visit US. Earthquakes
may be felt, waters may overflow, cpl
denies may rage, but these all have
their limits; while intemperance enters
with its bIighting effects into all the re-
lations of human life.
The fourth lecture was based on a va
riety of subjects, all interesting and in
structive.
The fifth and last lecture was entitled
''The Warfare of Intemperance on the
Business Relations of the Country"
This was a very fine effort, and ou1
| business men should all have heard it,
These subjects were all eIaborately
treated, which of course we have not
space to review, as we would like. DR.
Jewett is without doubt one Of our mos;
successful temperance lecturers. He
discusses the subject from scientific
grounds,and so thoroughly understands
the matter in hand that he makes it as
plain as could be wished by the most
/ illiterate man in his audience. He has
a pleasing style of delivery. though be
does not try to convince you by his
elOquence SO much as by his array o.
scientific truths. We sincerely wish
that it had been possible for every citi'
zen of Delaware to have attended these
| lectures. The house was well filled OF
all occasions, however.
On Tuesday evening after the lecture
a movement was made to organize {
new temperance society. A pledge wat
read and circulated for signatures. We
believe that about I65 signed the pledge
Notice was given that another meeting
will be held on Thursday evening, t.
take further measures in reference tC
the permanent organization of the so
ciety. Let our citizens all attend.

THIEVES sARREsTED.-Some little ex-
citement was caused on Friday by the
arrest of three young fellows named
BENZ. Worline, Henry Clark and James
Porter, living some distance north of
town. They were evidently making a
"run" on the town, having stolen a pair
of boots from the store of. A. Brown,
three palrs of skates from c. @. Cham
beriain q Co., box of envelopes from
j. F. Latimer, and two boxes of pepper
from n. White. Mr.. Brown saw one OF
them leaving with the boots, and giving
chase, overlook him, and taking the
boots from the thief. gave him the use
Of them in few telling strokes over the
head. Our police being apprised of the
affair, soon had all three of the thieves
safely in charge of Sheriff Ladd. The
property was recovered. It is said that
the people ia the neighborhood where
these men live, are constantly having
something stolen. They had hearing
before Mayor Van Deman, who fined
each of them SIS 90 and costs, and gave
them Eve days on bread and water in
the county jail.

the publishers of the Galaxy who have
secured the greatest ofthe years liter

The Galaxy has also purchased the ad-
vance sheets of the new story by Mrs..
Edwards, the author of "Stephen Law
renee, Yeoman," and "Archie Lowell, ,"
two of the most successful of recent
novels. This attractive serial will be
commenced in the January mum Der.

means stops with them. Richard Grant

''Words and their Uses, " have been do
ing so much for good English, is to con-
tribute to the volume for 1869, a series
of papers on "Americanisms." DIR. w.
A. Hammond, the leading American
authority on diseases of the mind and
nerves, and an able writer, is to furnish
SOME papers in his important speciality.
