NEW DEPOT, NEW STORES, NEW BANK AND NEWS
GENERALLY.
M1DpLETowS, DEL, November 1st.-The new
depot of this place, which was begun last spring.
is now completed, and Mr. Smith, who takes
charge of the restaurant moves in to-day. The
building is built Of brick and considerable taste
has been shown in finishing it off, 1t il the
incest depot on the road, below Wilmington.
The mud-hole around the depot which was 80
long reproach to the place. was some time
since filled up and now the present building
takes the place of the old wooden restaurant.
Mr.. Smith has had charge Of the eating saloon
for several years and has filled the place with
credit He continues his position and NJ. Massey
continues ticket agent.
| Messrs. Scowdrick and Eliason have opened
| store at the place formerly occupied by Warner,
and Hanson Brothers have opened new store,
| with large and attractive assortment, in the
Town Hail. where the Bank was for time. We
think that few places Of its size can equal Mid
| dletown in the number of its stores and in the
amount of business done by them. Mr.. Robert
Cochran has nearly completed his large brick
store, which, in appearance will rank fayorably
| with any in the place. This, when completed,
will add another store to the list
| Mr.. Wines has opened an oyster saloon in the
old photograph gallery, and hangs out his sign
"Oyster Bay. He ~ now ready to furnish
oysters by the dish, quart or barrel.
But not least among the improvements of our
thriving town il the new Bank now in process Of
erection. The foundation is laid and the work
is rapidly progressing 1t is to be built of brick,
and will be fine building that will add not a
little to that portion of the town.
The most attractive entertainment given in the
Hall this fall was that of the Swiss Bell Ringers,
who performed last Wednesday evening. They
drew very full house, and the performance was
much admired. Last evening there was an en-
tertainment by band Of mnstrels. The circus

ENTHUSIASTIC REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.

ENTHUSIASTIC REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.
ELLENpALE, Oct. 20, 1870.
The campaign in this county is becoming live
". Especially is this the case in Cedar Creek
Hundred. Meetings are being held in all direc-
tons, the people turn out largely and manifest
great interest in the questions discussed
On last Friday night large and enthusiastic
meeting was held at Shawnee, in the western
part Of the Hundred, which was addressed by
DIR. Davidson, Of Milford, and Alfred Short, ESD,
Of Glendale. On Saturday night DR.. J. ). Pref
lyman and Dir. Davidson addressed meeting at
Brick Granary.
On Monday night the largest meeting OF the
campaign was held at Glendale. The people
OF both parties came out from all directions.
Bonfres, torchlights flags, banners, and wreathe
all contributed to make the demonstration eifec.
tive. DR.. Prettyman delivered very excellent
address, replete with logic and unanswerabie 10
argument DIR. Davidson followed in a speech
reviewing and contrasting the history OF the two
parties OF the country for the last ten years. He
| showed clearly that the Democratic Party had
been radically wrong upon every issue before the
country within that time. 1t was wrong as e
| the right of the Government to coerce rebel
lous State wrong as to arming the negroes
| wrong az to emancipation wrong on the cur
| rency questions, and wrong on the tariff wrong
on every issue involved in reconstruction wrong
on the 18th Amendment, and turofg on every
thing He showed that the great Republican
party had been right upon all these questions
is right to-day upon every question Of vital in
terest to the American people that it is endor
| sed and sustained by an overwhelming majorit
of the people of the country, will elect its presi
dent in 1872, and control the government TO
many years to come.
State and county finances were fully and fairl
discussed, and every one seemed impressed witt
the necessity of reform.
The meeting was attentive and enthusiastic
throughout, and closed with cheers for tn
speakers and for the Republican ticket.
Yours, &c, SUSSEX.

Gus outbreak has occurred at Laurens Court
House, one of the upper tier Of counties. where
seven men have been shot and killed solely
because they were Republicans. and took a
prominent part in the past elections An outbreak
happened there or near there some four weeks

Governor company of u s. troops, which were
sent to the infected district and remained until
Thursday, the morning after the election, when
they left for this city to Join the balance OF the
regiment which had been ordered to New York.
No sooner had the troops got fairly out OF hear
ing of pistol shots than the white Democrats, VINO
had apparently awaited this opportunity, began
an attack upon the four or five State constables,
driving them out of town. They broke into the
armory' where the guns of the militia are kept,
seized all the arms aud took possession OF til.
horses of the constabulary, and began pursuit
of the fugitiyes. Seven mon are reported killed
outright, and aeveral others badly wounded.

POLITICS AND ANit'SEArENfa--A LATE riC-NlC-
HOTEL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
MILFORD, Oct. 3lst.-Our town has been for
the past few days, and will be for few more
days to come, place of much excitement and
amusement. The greatest excitement is political
The amusement commenced last Thursday by
the arrival of DIR. Rogers, of Philadelphia, who
rode through our streets beating gopg. inviting
the citizens to assemble at night i'll front OF the
Milford Hotel,to listen to a free lecture. At the
appointed hour quite large crowd gathered,
and the Doctor entertained his audience by tell
ing jokes, etc and Offering a patent medicine
which lie recommended TO cure all diseases in
about five minutes time There were not many
who believed it, 30 his sales were quite small.
On Friday night the Aeghanians and Swiss
| Bell Ringers exh bited here to quite large
audience, and to-day Madigan Co.'S Circus
| exhibit here, and of course there will be a full
turnout. The crowd is already gathering. Every.
body must go to the circus. On next Friday and
SATURDAY. nights Sanford's Minstrels are expected
and on Saturday we will have two political meet
ings one to be held by the Republicans in Soutl
Milford, and addressed by Joshua I. Head, Esq;
| and Colonel Jacob Moore the other in Nortl

| will be quite exciting times.
Tomorrow afternoon the NJ. f. Sunday schoo

the little folks anticipate pleasant time.
| The Union Hotel of this place has been pur
chased by Mr.. George Wilmington, of Denton
Maryland, who will assume proprietorship abou

ROOT HOG on DIE" AND DIE IF YOU RooT--wHAT
CAN POOR FARMERS DO
NIEssRs EDIroRs have travelled through
greater portion OF our Peninsula, and no sight
has been more unpleasant than the large quantity
Of worn-out land, literary morn ou. The treat
ment Of it too is not calculated to make it better
1t is crop and pasture, pasture and crop-corn
one year. the next wheat or oats and then
pastured down, or all the year pastured, when
the land has become too poor to grow small grain
and this too without manure of any sort. In
some instances the land is divided into thirds, in
a few into fourths, but the same process goes on
pasture and crop without manure. 1t would be
a miracle indeed if such land should not be poor.
Much of the surface also is low and level, yet
the lowest parts have usually good waterfall.
The natural drains and the few bitches prove
that. The soil too everywhere responds gener-
orally to fertilizes, in fact nowhere does little
manure work greater wonders. My father, on a
visit from the North, remarked to me as he was
viewing an improved lot, "if you were to manure
your land here as we haze to manure ours it
would go mad" Our long warm seasons, do
have remarkable effect on heavily MANFRED
land.
There is in fact double growth-a summer
and an autumn growth, particularly OF that great
God-send, red clover Why then, 30 much
poyerty-stricken soil A neighbor of mine says
"our farmers are too poor to be farmers" and he
seems to have hit it precisely. The land has been
| rendered barren by continual cropping and pas
turing without manure, and it has carried the
| owner with it down-hill. He now cannot raise
| grass to make manure, he cannot purchase fer
| tilizers, he cannot sell his poor land, nor any
| part Of it to raise manure to improve the remain.
der. He has an elephant on his hands and the
puzzle is how to dispose of him. Stick to his
| farm he must, like sailor to the wreck in {
storm. There is nowhere else he can go, there
is nothing else he can do. Sink or Hwim-tha
impoverished farm is his only errthly hope. Thi'
favorite saying ''root pig or die" is hardly ap
plicable to him, for the more he roots the neare
he gets to death, and the less he roots the near
er death gets to him. In this extremity, wha
is he to do? Aye! that is the question Who
is he to do2 We hope our peninsula farmers vii
