"IxNOw THY OPPORTUNITY" )"

The grim monster, Death, was stealthi-
ly approa ching. l could almost feel his
hot, fiery breath upon my forehead. My
faithless goddess, Hygenia had utterly
deserted me. Only now and then would
Morpheus befriend me but on this aus
picious day, he had deigned to moston
my eyelids with heavenly ambrosia, and

upon foreign soil whittier my physician
had sent me to recover my health. was
in great metropolis-one of the grand
marts Of the world. In one of my strolls
chanced to meet man who had in his
hand a handsomely bound volume, en-
titled 1.-The people Common Sense Med
ical Adviser" and who said he was an
agent for the sale of the book. The
| title was SUCH a novel one that | was
impelled to give the work casual no.
tice. AS | hastily glanced over its pages
/ observed that it contained treatises not
commonly found in medical VOL ks.
But had too many times been hoaxed
by appearances, and determined that
| would have nothing to do with it. A
voice within me, like faithful mentor,
whispered, "Know ting opportunity; in
that book is tiny salvation" | began
reasoning with myself, Although doubt
ful and distrustful, yet l put forth my
hand to take the book, and 10 the agent

agony awoke. Great drops OF perspira

my slumber to see me. Said my friend,

est you" One glance at the work, and
was assured that it was "The people i
Common Sense Medical Adviser" by Dr.
Il. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. Surely
this was the veritable hook which had
seen in my dreams. My friend loaned
me the work, and every day, as my
strength permitted, perused its pages

thus: ANY man who can so truthfully

RehObOth Beach C.. M. A.

MEETING OF THE DIRECToRs-A sPIR-
TIED BUSINESS SESSION - THE RAIL-
ROAD EXTENSION FROM LRwEs TO BE
BUILT, AND A STREET RAILROAD TO
BE CONSTRUCTED AT THE CAMP
GROUNDS.
Last evening, special meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Rehoboth
Beach Camp Meeting Association was
held in the room over G. F. Rudolph's
jewelry store, No. 231 Market street,
the President, VIM. Bright in the
chair.
The attendance was very good, and
the proceedings were conducted with
spirit and vigor which augurs well
for the success of the Associations
work during the season of 1876.
The Committee on Religious Wor-
ship reported that the time for holding
the camp meeting had been decided
upon-from July 21st, to August 1st.
Also, that a meeting of this committee
with the Presiding Elders, at Smyrna,
last week arrangement for the annual
camp meeting at the seaside were
made, and circular was adopted, to be
mailed to the churches of the Confer
ence. 1t is probable that o convention
of the churches will be held some time
before the opening of the camp meet
ing.
AT former meeting of the Direc-
tors, a resolution was adopted, auth
orizing the Superintendent to lease
alternate lots for five years, to persons
desirous Of erecting cottages. In ac-
cordance with this resolution, the an
nual rental was fixed at So for lots in
the front circle, and 81 for these on
the avenues.
A tax OF three per cent. on the esti-
mated value of lots, was ordered to be
assessed and collected for the purpose
of making improvements and meeting
current expenses. The estimated value
of lots will be determined by a com
mittee of five lot holders.
MIR. Peck, who was recently author
lied to solicit subscriptions for the
construction of branch railroad from
Lewes to the camp grounds, had con-
ference with the Directors, the result
of which was the starting of sub
scription which will ce rtainIy insure
the construction of the road by the 18th
of June.
President Bright led off with $4,000,
and was followed by J. j. Mccullough
with $1,000. The latter gentleman also
assured the meeting that he would
build and equip railway on surf and
Rehoboth Avenues, upon the COM
pletion of the Railroad extension.
A special committee was appointed
to confer with the Railroad officials,
ielitlng to reduced freight rates and
passenger fares.
1t was decided to make arrangements
during the next few months, for large
accommodations on the camp grounds
in addition to Bright's new hotel and
the Surf House.
The meeting then adjourned.

The Snow w.-Sncw commenced fall
ing about six o'clock, last evening, and
continued steadily all night and nearly
all morning. BY seven o'clock there
was a fall of nearly one foot, which
was increased several inches during
the morning, The snow was of excel.
lent character for sleighing, and
should no rain fall, the hard condi-
tion of the roads will keep the sleigh
gin up for several days.
The boys were out with their sleds,
this morning, and the "shovel brigade
was on the streets in full force.
The fall was quite extensive reach
ing down the State as far as Harring
ton. Here, however, it turned to rain
and froze, Along the w. & Il. and
w. Il w. Railroads, the fall was about
the same as in this city and vicinity.

THE LOCATION OF THE STREET MARKET
AND THE SALE OF MEArs-CLAIMING THE
ATTENTION OF COUNCIL.
The above subjects, which have, from
time to time claimed the attention of
Council for years, are again being press
ed forward for amendment and altera-
tion at the hands OF our "City Fathers"
In the Council, last night, lengthy
petition from citizens for a change of the
street market to Fourth street, was read
and referred also, petition from
number Of butchers, praying for the pas
sage of an Ordinance to prohibit the sale
OF meat upon the streets in less quanti-
ties than one-quarter. The subject was
further referred to by two ordinances
one introduced by Mr.. Paynter to repeal
the Skinner Ordinance" and one by
Mr.. Underwood lat the request of some
butchers who prepared it) to prohibit
entirely the sale cf moat in the street
market.
Over these petitions and Ordinances
Council will wrestle with this important
and ut present all-absorbing public ques-
tion. 1t is very probable that MIR. Payn-
ters repeating Ordinance will be adopt
ed, after which, another ordinance will
doubtless, be introduced with view to
regulating the meat question in man
ner mutually satisfactory to farmers,
butchers and buyers.
In regard to the movement for chang
ing the street market to Fourth street, it
is scarcely probable that Council will
give their consent to the change. There
is Il great diversity of opinion in regard
to the location of the street market, no
matter where it may be held, and it is
very likely that Council will decide to
continue it in its present location. New
regulations may possibly be adopted, re-
quiring the wagons to be kept further
apart, and by increasing the length of the
market, reduce the great pressure now
| experienced each market day.
