GOOD TEMPLARs' CONVENTION TEMPERANCE NOT
PoLiTics-HoRsE RACING-Iiow BETTING Is
wINKED AT.
KENToN, DEL, August IS, 1S69.-A quarterly
meeting of the Good Templars, composed of
delegates from the lodges of Kent county, was
held in Kenton to-day. 1t is understood that Of
their business meeting 10 the morning consider
able discussion was elected by resolution to the
effect that they did not purpose to carry the
question OF temperance into politics. The reso.
luton was finally adopted. A bountiful collation.
was prepared by the ladies in the grove adjoining
the ME-. church, short distance from the town.
After dinner, public meeting was held in the
church, and addresses we're made by Revs. W.
Uric and A. Rittenhouse, of Smyrna, and DR..
Kennedy, of Maryaell. The Doctors argument
in favor total abstinence was unusually clear and
sohd. The busy gathering of the peach crop
prevented large attendance. Another meeting
was held In kenfon in The evening, and II Is to be
hoped that the audience was very much larger.
The horse race on Thursday last attracted
great crowd, OF course, aud tue quiet of to-day
contrasts significantly with the noise and upruar
Of that occasion. The betting spirit ran very
bigh but IL is generally understood that the
gambling Delawaeans easily evaded the laws by
simply placing their money in the hands Of
PenusylvaDiaDs aud Marylauders, who are ready
To- net in the capacity IF go-betweens In this
inqulty. Here, as elsewhere some laws are vi
eatra With IMMUNITY. Several prrsops were re-
ported To the GIaud Jury for violating the laws
ugainst horse racing last year, but certain Off.
cial struck The names from the docket. It Is
not Improbable that well known citizen Of Will
minston will be selected to succeed the officer
referred to; but whoever he may be- let him be
man who entertains II high sense Of his official
l think that much more deter
miued effort will be made to have the laws en-
forced this season. Certain 1t is that feeling of
deep dissatisfaction has been aroused in some
minds on the subject. There is a leaven of good
as well as evil at work in this community, and In
due time the good will undoubtedly gain the up
peihand. DELTA PIT.

MlLroRD, August 1S.-The Lincoln Camp
Meeting closed last Monday. 1t was, throughout,
we believe, successful quite number have pro-
irss,d IL find favor with their God, and have
united themselves with the church. The attcn-
dance last Sunday was not so good us the Sunday
before In the morning there was preaching by
the Rev. j. ". Willis of New York. and at =
o'cc,k there was an experience meeting. AT 3
o'clsrk the Rev. Euoch Stubbs, of Milford.
preached an able and eloquent sermon TO very
attentive congregation. There have cen several
conversions during the meeting, but we were
unable tn nrcrrthis what numher.
Yesterday the Good Tcmplars OF Cedar Neck
Lodge held a ric-uic In the grove near the
church. Quit II large number Of prrsons were
present AID All kind. Of fruit aud melons were
provided In abundance and all seemed to give
themselves up to ftsllvity. The meeting was ad-
dressed by Rev. Richard Mallory of Milford,
R.v. Mr.. Banning of Lincoln circuit George A.
Moore aud Joseph Holland, Esqs, of Milford on
the cause of temperance.
The dr. ,ught Il playing bnvoc through the high
lands IN thi, section. The corn on the high
ground is burning mp, and there will not he
half crop, and among the poor land In Sussex on
great uany farms there will not be q bushel to
the acre We notice, however, that In the low,
siff Lands the corn looks well, and II we should
have a rnin soon we think there will be a good
crop Some say that there will be a half crop
while Others say there will not be more than
fourth of crop on an average; for on an exami-
nation of great many of the ears that look full,
they find the grains scattering and the ear moth
ing like full. But TO make the best Of 1t, 1t ls
bad enough, and we understand that through the
county a great many wells have dried up and
some OF the farmers have to go miles TO water
their stock. Unless it rains 1t will certainly
be very distressing through some portions Of
this neighborhood. FRANK.

who Made the Leh,rh valley ,

1t is the height of folly for enthusiastic
Democrats to attempt to make folks believe
Asa Packer made this great Lehigh Valley.
Yet, so they declare. They may be believed by
very innocent people, people who can't read,
people who have no ideas of what the AL
mighty has done; but among educated men
the opinion exists that God did all that they
claim Asa Packer has done. 1t was the
Creator who put the Lehigh River in its
present channel; he erected these mountains
and hills, and 1t was through His will the
coal formed around Mauch Chunk, and the
iron and limestone are embedded under the
soil in pursuance of His great rules. Geol-
ogy teaches us that these minerals were here
long before Asa Packer was born
The truth is, The Hatey matte Asa
Packer. We give him due credit for the
energy he displayed in pushing through the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, but does any one
suppose that If he had not been at the head
OF ii no one else would 1t might have been
completed later and it might have been COM
pleted sooner. No one can tell. He merely
followed the dictatiOn of shrewdness, and be-
ing in u position to know was 0nfident
when others were doubtful of its success.
But do not, for the honor Of our State, make
this the sole reason for voting for man for
Governor Of our great Pennsylvania who
can't even write his own messages. He has
had his own reward, and ample 1t is He
has worshiped at the shrine of the Golden
Calf all his days, let him stick to il and en-
i oy its blessings. gs.-AUentOaDn ReQister.

Placing the lit le hats all In q row,
Ready for church on the morrow you know
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and 1T to be kissed
Putting them into clean garments and white
This Is what mothers are doing tonight
gpying out holes In the little worn hose,
aging by rhoes that are worn thro' the toes,
Looking DER garments 80 faded and thin
Who but mother knows where to begin
Changing button to make 1t look right
This is what mothers are doing Tonight.
Calling the little ones all round her chair.
Hearing them lisp forth their evening" prayer
Telling them stories OF Jesus Of old,
Who loves to gather the lambs to HE fold;
Watching. they listen with childish delight;
This is what mothers are doing tonight
Creeping go softly to take a last peep.
After the little ones all are asleep;
Apxious TO know II the children are warm,
Tucking the blankets ronnd each little form,
Ktseiug each little face roey and bright
This Is what m 'thers do after night.
Kneeling down gently beside the white bed,
Lowly and meekly rhe bows down her head,
Praying as only mother can pray,
"dod guide and keep them from going astrsy.
