contains a portrait, autograph and biography
Of Hon. Willard Hall, who, prior to his
recent deccase, in his 9jth year, was the
oldest living graduate of Harvard, (lI99,)
except Hon. Horace Binney, (l797,) of
Philadelphia. Bunker Hill, l775, illustra-
ted, is an historic poem by Lizzie York
Case, talented lady who also contributes
an Essay on Woman, illustrated which is
instructive and entertaining. A notable
feature is Anna f. Dickinson's lecture on
The Social Evil. The subjects of Ought
Woman 10 Preach as well as Teach and
Caimes' Political Economy, are ably treated
by Henry Collins. We note Grace Darling,
What become Of It? and several other in
teresting editorials. An historic, declip-
tive and decidedly personal article on
Atlantic City, (illustrated), with portrait of
Mayor Gardner, takes up 10 pages. Its
originality, amusing stories and reminis-
cences are entertaining. There is full

which all who send in their subscriptions

Moral IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PRHIrEx-
IIARY.-Some seven or eight years ago
James Meginnis was tried and convicted in
our court and sentenced to serve fourteen
years in the penitcntiary, for aiding and
abetting in the murder of Mr.. Roberts, of
Church Hill, Queen Anne's county. Ne
ginnis was = poor depraved, ignorant devil,
and had not a dollar with which to pay
counsel, but he was defended 10y c. II. Glib
son, ESQ, of the Easton bar, with as much
zeal as if he had paid him large fee. He
expressed himself very thankful to Mr..
Gibson, and hoped it might be in his power
sometime to pay him for his services. OF
course Mr.. Gibson never expected TO hear
| from him again on the subject; but a few
days ago he received a letter from Mr..
Francis j. Headley, Neginnis' Sunday
School teacher in the pcnitentiary, stating
that Meginnis gratefully remembered his
| services at the trial, that he had made him
handsome set of harness, and desired to
know how it could be sent to him. 1t is
very plain that Meginnis has been under.
going beneficial discipline i'll the peniten
tiary. that his moral sensiLilites have been
improved by his imprisonment, and al
though degraded, he is not destitute OF
gratitude. He has learned a trade and
appears to be under reformatory influences

THE BGODERcK WILL CAsR.-A decision
was reached in the United States Supreme
Court last week in the famous Broderick
will case, and the event recalls the check
cred career of the California Senator. lie
was born in Washington city, where lie
learned his trade of stone mason, and
shortly afterwards went North. He first
came into prominence as chief OF the New
York fire department, where he achieved
great popularity. When the gold fever
broke out hc went to California, and was
soon elected TO the State Legislature. Sub.
sequently he was elected to the United
States Senate and became an anti-slavery
champion. In 1856 lie was challenged by
DavisS. Terry, an accomplished dueiist, and
was killed, his dying words being "They have
killed me for opposing the extension Of
slavery" During his lifetime there were
none to claim kinship to him. He devi.
sed his property to personal friends, and
after his death certain persons came from
Australia to claim the estate, on the ground
| that they were his sisters children. tic
died in 1857, and tho contest has been going
on ever since. The Supreme Court 'pstair

CCRRANT JELLY.-If the fruit is gathered
before dead ripe it will make firmer jellcy,
and it is not necessary to pick it from tic
stems, only remove all leaves or sticks. Put
the fruit in pail or pan, over a kettle Of
boiling water, and heat enough for the skins
to break easily, then dip intoa bag made of
flannel, and squeeze till dry. Measure tie
juice, allowing for every pint one pound Of
white sugar, but do not add the sugar to the
liquor till it has been allowed to gently boil
over the fire for twenty minutes or more,
removing any scum that may arise The
sugar is now to be added in the proportions
mentioned, when the process of coagulation
is so rapid that humps of jelly are often
formed before it is all Dissolved while in
color it glows with all the richness and
transparency of the garnet. The secret Of
making all fruit jellies is to boil the juice
before, and but little after adding the
sugar if boiled together the product is apt
to be soft, dark and gummy, if it ever
becomes jelly at all. Use pound Of sugar
for pound of fruit in preserving eurrants,
and if all the necessary boiling has taken
place before the sugar is added, the juice
will become a tender, beautiful jelly

BIBLE MEETINGS, according to previous
notice, were held as follows: Camden, May

Milford Neck, June s; Frederick, June 9.
Milford, June 10. Addresses were de
ivered by Rcvs. Caldwell, Huntingdon
Stubs, Wright, Matlack, Haynes, the
writer and Joseph E. Holland, ESQ. Dr.
VIM. Cummins, and Revs Hough, Kennedy,
Dare, Williams, Davis and Ellegood took

The meetings were interesting and the
addresses instructive and entertaining. No
doubt much good was accomplished by
these services. The Kent County Society
Is in good working order, through its local
organizations. We hope each Society will
appoint ten delegates who will attend the
annual meeting of the Society i'll Dover, in
September next. We had very large and
enthusiastic meeting in Wyoming last
year, and hope to have u much larger one
this year. The friends in Dover are noted
for their hospitality and courtesy, and no
doubt will be glad to entertain all who
come.
At the last annual meeting the Presi
dent, by resolution, was requested to
appoint Il committee Of five on business:
the duty of which is to take into considera-
ton any matters they deem advisable for
the interests of the Society, viz: Any plan
by which it may do more good-improve-
mcnt on the old-a new constitution-rules
for bu|iness-obituaries of deceased mem
bers, &c., &c. 1t will be their duty also, to
make arrangements for the meeting. find
homes for the delegates, and perform such
other duties they think best for to make
the meeting Il success. The following arc
| appointed said committee: J. A. Fulton.
Esq, Isaac Jump, NJ. d., Geo. V. Massey,
Esq, n. B. Smithers, Esq, and Geo Paris
Esq. Those who wish to attend as dele
gates, will please inform one of the commit
tee i'll good time, SO tEat all arrangements
can be made without confusion.
The time Of the annual meeting will be
announced by the Secretary of the Society.
! Further notices of the meeting will be given
hereafter. All the pastors Of churches, and
societies will co:ifer u favor by raising good
collections, and have their moneys ready to
pay in to the treasury as soon as the meet
ing convenes. w. b. GREGG, President.

WHAT is COMMERCE? is an

WHAT is COMMERCE ?-Commerce is an
occupation in which men serve each other;
it is an exchange in which both parties in
the tranraction gain something which they
desire more than the thing they part with.
1t may sometimes be that the desire which
is satisfied on the one part or the other is
one that had better not be served: that is
question of morals with which we are not
now dealing. Such exchanges are, how
ever, the exception. The traffic in COM
mOdities that work permanent injury con-
stitutes but an insignificant proportion of
the vast exchanges of the world true
commerce i'll useful things lies at the
very foundation of human welfare. Unless
a good and wholesome subsistence is posi-
bic, there can be neither spiritual, intellec-
tual, nor aesthetic culture, and such sub
sistence is only possible to the mass of men
by means of an exchange of products. All
commerce is the aggregate of small transac-
tions. The milkman who brings the daily
portion Of milk to him who dwells in city
or town represents commerce of vast pro
portion, almost equal i'll this country, i'll its
aggregate value, to the whole sum of our
foreign importations. The value Of dairy
exported in the form of cheese and butter
is more than four hundred million dollars.
The milkman is the representative of one
of the branches of commerce which has
10 IL
century, and in which the people of the
United States have shown the greatest orig
inality. The cheese factory represents a
manufacture born of thrift and enterprise
only, and our exports Of cheese exceed
ninety million pounds year.
How little the true function of commerce
has been understood may be proved by the
fact that only within the century has it
been admitted among English-speaking
! people that there can be any mutual service
in the matter. In this country even to
this day this truth is but obscurly perceived
and hence the nation with which we have
our largest transactions. our mother coun
| try, is often called our natural enemy by
otherwise intelligent persons, because She
tries to supply some Of our needs at low
cost to Us yet had the true nature of com
merce been comprchendcd a hundred year.
