Old Sussex at the Show.

On the afternoon train from the
Delaware Railroad, yesterday, was an
old farmer, who decided toto lay over
for the next train, in order to rest and
take peep at our city. He was from
near Gunboro. and his short pants,
plain csat, slouch hat, and general air
of shrewdness proclaimed him a genu-
inc Sussex County farmer.
AT the United States hotel he anus
ed those present by relating what he
proposed to do at the Centennial. by
little extra economy during the year
he had saved about $3.50, which he pro-
posed expcnding on two weeks visit
to the great exhibition. He boldly
declared his intention to see every
thing there was to see, "for," said he,
"my boys and girls at home can't go,
but I'm goin to tell 'em all about
it when | git back" OF the city
ssarpers he felt little dubious, but
said he would try and elude them. He
would lend no man any money, and
when he went for his meals would ask
the price of things before he ate, land
if the price is too stiff, ''tsaid he, "Ill go
hungry" He was several times asked
to drink, but declined. "Thank ye,"
he said, "when I'm at home l take my
peach and honey every morning, but
now I'm bound to see the big show.
and l know l can't do it if l git to
drinkin'." Then the train drew up to
the depot, and old Sussex left followed
by the wishes of all present that he
might see the Centennial in all its
glory and return to the bosom of his
family safe and sound.
