OF persuasive sermons.

HARRISGToN, Nov. Ill don't think you will
object to giving publicity in your columns TO Q
few of the wants that Cypress us here. II we cry
out, some one may here and come to the rescue.
Some one with capital of from three to five
thousand dollars would find il to his interest to
invest it in steam Touring mill at this place
Parties are obliged to go fifteen or twenty miles,
quite often, TO get wheat and corn ground. The
mill streams in this immediate neighborhood, toi

one stone against another. A steam Touring mill
would gain and hold all the custom for milei
around. feed store in conjunction with this
would pay we'll
understand the Delaware II. r. Company will
soon replace their present shabby station house
with new and more commodious one. A re,
freshnent saloon should be added for the accom-
mediation of railroad travellers. Trains arrive
here at twelve and two O'clock and remain if
teen or twenty minutes; travellers going North
must soothe hunger with promise till they reach
siddletnwn, forty miles aboye going South, they
must wait till they reach home.

| leading from the station ut Milford to the whar
there. With such convenience, grain, &C.
would be shipped from this part OF the county al
less expense, and lime and other fertilizer,

at the depot at Scaford, is much needed In Har

SALISBURY, Nov. 16th,-The extension of the
Wicomco & Pokomoke Railroad from the depot
to the wharves on the river, Is progressing rapid-
ly. The grading is now nearly completed. When
this Improvement is completed II will cause
great saving Of freight on lumber and grain ship
pers from the interior to Baltimore. The WI
comico and Pokomoke Railroad alone brings
about 25 600 feet OF lumber, daily for reshipment
to Baltimore. The Delaware Railroad also
brings large quantities, but we are not able 70
give the figures. Large Qantities OF grain. and
other produce come 10, over both roads. All oil
this must now be hauled distance Of three
fourths of mile. The next step will be the
dredging OF the Wicomico river, 80 that large
vessels and steamers can come up TO our
wharves.
Our merchants usually close their places oil

THE TOWN TALK ON VARIETY OF sUBJEcTs.
DOVER, DEL, November 15th.-MaHy reports
are circulated, and no place seems to have more
than the State capital The report that the Legis-
lature will be convened this winter is. we believe,
without foundation. 1t is frankly acknowledged,
by the party in power, that the tax bill, over
which go much was said last winter, does not
meet the end for which it was intended but 1t
would not be policy to do and undo, both in one
year.
The fire in Dover about two weeks since, re-
ported to have been OF incendiary origin, Is now
believed TO have been accidental, aud to have
caught from the fire left to dry the masonry.
Since the fire there have been meetings held for
the purpose OF increasing the police force, but
not word has been said about a fire company.
The theory here is, the more firemen the more
fires. Complimentary ca to those who have a
desire to save life and property by gratuitous
service.
After q dilgeni search amongst the musty
records the citizens OF the uncertain part Of the
town feel more at ease ; their tenures appear to
be good. and they are again able to say: This
is my abiding place."
We had another .'tin wedding in town last
week-Mr. and Mrs. Mcdaniel. The quantity Of
tin received was large, but had there been nc
delay in filling orders at the tin-shop 1t would

be had, that would tempt the palate, was provided

respectable assemblies ever held in Pittsburgh.
The occasion was the third anniversary of the
Young Mems Christian Association, and the

of the Third Presbyterian Church, which was
crowded to its utmost capacity. A temporary
platform was erected across the church in front
of the pulpit, on which were promiscuously seat
ed distinguished clergymen and laymen from all
parts of The country.
After the preliminary exercises were gone
through, IL. X. Porter, Esq, President oil the
Association, read the Annual Report, which was
an able and intesesting document, occupying
about twenty-five minutes.
After singing the coronation hymn,

who spoke about three quarters of an hour In a
simple, practical, and forcible manner. His adj
dress was well received and it was evident pro-
fonnd impression was made by it on the vast as

usual application for paid up policies, on

tinued. This is going backward. New
premiums and a renovation of insurers

new companies. There can be no let-up in
