In completing his thirtieth' annual tour,
the undersigned in behalf of the Peak and
Berger Families, Bell Ringers, begs leave to
return his thanks to the public generally.
and particularly to the people and press OF
fiattering reception and liberal patronage
which they have everywhere accorded to
him during the past season. As there is
of Northern people regarding the true state
the reception Northern people would meet
with should they visit that section, L can
honestly state as the result of my observa-
ton during our extended tour of over six
months through the States of Tennessee,
Georgia, South Carolina. Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, and Texas that the stories
of outrages so frequently seen in Northern
papers are, generally, emanatiOns from the
brains OF evil-minded persons, written for
effect and having no foundation in fact. The
Southern people, generally, are as well dis
posed towards, will treat as kindly, and
welcome as cordially, any and all well dis
posed persons who may come among them
either as permanent settlers or as transient
visitors, as would the people of any other
section ofour common country. They have
suffered a great deal during the few past
years and have by no means fully recovered
from the effects of the war, but they are
hopeful for the future, and to all well mean
ing people they will extend the right hand
of fellowship, irrespective of the section of
country from which said people may come.

A Eirst.GIass Sensation.

Is the solar system in danger! English
papers are discussing this question, and the
controversy not only leads to the mention Of
some interesting facts, but dcvelopcs some
curious theories. As the scorching rays of
the sun, which during the past week have
made corn grow and humanity wilt on this
side of the Atlantic, have irresistibly drawn
mems minds to the source from which our
planet is supplied with caloric, it may in
tcrest our readers to learn what is said on
the subject. The sun has been shown to
be subject to variations in brightnc:~ anu
heat and these changes arc pc-1odlcal; ana

e":t:!., winch take place when the spots ON
the surface of the sun are agitated. On
September |, 1859, the most remark
able of these storms that has been OBJ
served took place; and all the telegraphic
wires Of both hcmispheres were disturbed.
in some places severe shocks were felt by
operators, and even flames appeared in the
instruments at night magnificent auroras
we're seen. Another similar storm is eX-
pected in 1870, astronomers believing that
il will recur every eleven years. y few
years ago small star suddenly blazed into
great brightness, and burned out and the
spectroscope showed that the flame was
burning hydrogen. Now, the sun con-
tains an immense amount Of hydrogen,
and at times sends up flames Of it many
thousands Of miles. THESE flames must be
pretty high about this time.] What would
be the result if the sun should suddenly
develope blaze like that of the star so
recently lost "The earth would be turned
into vapor," says leading man of science,
" as quickly as Il drop of water thrown into
furnace"
All this, one would think, is sensational
enough, but the London Spectator, i'll Gu
rious speculation upon The Solar Muta-
bility,'' in which the above points are dis
cussed, goes further, and expresses the be-
lief that mems minds are greatly inilu-

How THEY TREAT PRISONERS IN DELLA
w,RE.-Kcndall B. Clendaniel, confined IN
the county Jail Mt Dover for larceny, ana
having nine months yet TO serve, has ab-
seconded. The sheriff let him out OF ld't Tor
the purpose-some Of our readers will be
s,1rprised to learn-of doing some white
washing. Strange to say, he skeedaddled,
and has not since been heard OF. The kind
ness of the sheriff might seem almost rs
remarkable as Kendall's neglect to return,
only that it happens to be an old custom
with the sheriffs Of Kent county. The in
mates of the jail there are not permitted
TO be idle in busy time. Our friend Dr.
Jump relates that he got in his last sea
sons hay crop with the aid of some of the
prisoners, whom he was permitted to en-
plov: and the late Secretary of State, Mr..
Harrington, was applied to on the street
and in his office by an immured convict
who wanted a pardon. A gentleman named
Register, confined at one time for an ,cccen-
tricity or joke shown in the shooting OF
colorcd man, used to dine at the town hotel,
prcferring their fare to that of the prison.
On one occasion, it is said, he failed to re-
turn to the county boarding house before
borring-out time, and consequently was OBJ
liged, though very unwillingly no doubt, to
spend the night at hotel.-H'hn'ngto"
