male colleges assembled at the &. R. Depot
to take farewell glance at the city Of
Wilmington, till after the holidays. Some
however, were not there to say good bye to

to leave It. A few moments preceding the

seen in the waiting room Of the depot.
groups of these young ladies, discussing in
an exciting manner, the latest and most be-
coming style Of pull.back how the hair
should be worn; what beaver cap would
cost; and how many presents the coming
holidays would bring. "Jennie," said the
centre figure of one of these groupes, do
you intend to have your sacque cut bias,
and Will you wear your new blue silk to the
party tonight, and those s-,''. the word
was drowned in the noise of the shrtll whis-
tie Of the approaching train, which soon
thundered up to the station. Then there
was a perceptible stir among these devo-
tees of fashion; the groups were broken
and In the midst of the cries Of "come
girls !" from one; SCOT your ticket" from
another, and from third the warning,
Fix your hustle, Sallie," they hastily made
for the cars; then came the scenes over
which heart of marble might be moved to
tenderness. There was no discrimination
made Of hats or collars; but without regard
to damage, arms pressed in close embrace,
to arms that embraced again; lips met; eyes
spoke love to eyes that spoke love again;
cheeks were bedewed with falling tear
drops; and above It all arose that unmis-
taxable sound of Swapping fingers.
At last the conductor cried out, "Au

sound ,and as forty handkerchiefs waved on
The breeze, the train moved off leaving many
hearts happy and sorry too. The train was
not yet out of sight when the tear-drops

were miraculously dried; the

rHEPEx1NsU1I PoULrRY TRADE
A DECLINE IN THE sHIPMENTs-wAITING
FOR BETTER MARKETS.

A DECLINE IN THE sHIPMENTs-wAITING
FOR BETTER MARKETS.
The poultry trade Of the Peninsula is suf
fering decline evidently. Complaints are
made that the chickens and turkeys do not
pay 90 well as used to..be the case, and the
shipments are not nearly so heavy this
season as last. The Smyrna Times, in re-
ferring to these facts, says: Up to the pre-
sent, or up to yesterday, not more than one
carload Of poultry had been shipped from
Clayton for the whole Of the season to date.
For the same period last year thousands of
pounds were shipped of. The shipments
for one day alone, last fall, amounted to
over eighty tons from Clayton. Instead of
rushing it off for the holidays, the farmers
are holding 1t for better prices, 1t 70 sup
posed. Heretofore, the Thanksgiving and
Christmas sales have always been thought
to command the top of the market. Every
family who is able at all to indulge in tur-
key dinner enjoys that indulgence on those
days. But the Thanksgiving sales in New
York this year were at prices less than we
were paying at hone-as has been the case
much OF the time-while the market was
flooded. One of our dealers here tells us
that it is hardly profitable to ship to that
market the western dealers have rugged up \
refngerating cars and all this season they
have been pouring thousands of frozen tur- |
keys in that city at prices less than our
traders would take. 4
Another matter of note is the fact that !
chickens, this year, have commanded quite |
as high prices as turkeys and ducks. Usu-
ally there is difference Of two or three
cents in favor of the kinds last named. Our
dealers look to the Centennial for an expla-
nation of this circumstance. During the
whole time of this great exhibition, or
nearly SO, turkeys will be out of season,
while chickens will be in constant demand,
both for food and eggs. Hence the farmers
are holding on to them, with the expecta-
lion OF an active demand all through the
summer. '...
