A great hubbub is being made
Throughout this mighty nation;
And Hub and " Bub - are questioning
The question of " Iaflation."
Iufdtion means to fill with ,cind
" Raising the wind" s the trouble
But too much "bto,o might spoil the work
And burst the mighty bubble.
Still, being short of Greenbacks, is
More serious than funny,
For folks never get a-long
When they are short of money.
So 7, to mend the matter some,
And counteract high rises
Am selling goods of every kind,
For half the usual prices
If cash should be short you can make it go
far by making your purchases from my splendid
stock of Dry Goods, Notions, Hats, Shoes. &C,

Sale Of q Railroad.

The many efforts of the stockholders and d.
rectors of the ]. & B. r. r. to effect sale of It,
have at last been successful. The Road was
sold last week, to the ''Old Dominion Steamship
Co.." of New York, at about the same price as
President Hinckley ageed to give last Spring.
AS soon as the new owners take possession of the
road their steamers will make Lewes a stepping
point on their trips between New York and Rich
mond The change, 1t is thought, will be a
beneficial one to the produce growers of Southern
Delaware.

During the storm on Saturday evening, l1th
inst the lightning struck the parsonage Of Bethel

mated by one of the many tramps-with which
the country is filled at this season of the year
throwing lighted match after having lit his
