THE TEACHERS INsTITUTE.-Thep pro-
ceeedings of this body, now in session
here are the matter IF most interest at
this time. The enrolment so far has
reached 76. The citizens take much in
terest in the proceedings, and there was
a large turnout Of our prominent men,
and large number of our ladies to hear
Commissioner Smart's address. Many
have also attended the day sessions. The
citizens entertain the lady teachers At
their homes, and without doubt education
al matters here will receive more stten-
ton and fresh impulse form association
with the teachers and the discussion of
educational matters in the Institute. The
programme carried cut yesterday consist
ed of the following topics:
Observation-Disclosures, Superintendent
Shreve; Elementary Instruction in
Sponic Reading, Mrs. Case; Geography,
Superintendent Pratt; Elocution, Pro-
fessor Scott.
Observation-Disclosures, Superinten-
dent Shreve; Elementary Language Les
sons, Mrs. Case; Elocution, Professor
Scott; English, Superintendent Burns.
The evening session was held in the
Presbyterian Church. The exercises
opened by singing "Pull for tho Shore;"
prayer by Rev. Ward; solo by SuperiB-
tendent Burns; inaugural address by
President Ysrnell; song BY Miss Clay
land.
All OF the instructors not only permit
but invite questions during their lessons,
and upon some points considerable as
cussion is elected. II is impossible for
Superintendent Burns 10 talk without
saying something funny, but sometimes
his ready repsrtee is little too incisive
in It's nature. The pronunciation Of
words form 8 topic for informal discus
sion after the close OF the lesson, and
some curious facts are brought out It

already fallen from the trees. so there
will be no peaches there In Kent
Coutv, Del, and in the adjacent coun-
ties Of Maryland the cold weather of
the past week has, beyond a doubt,
killed any prospect there was for a
crop, while the only hope is from New
Castle county, Del, and Cecil county,
Maryland In those counties there
was the heaviest crop ever known last
year, and it would be most extraordi-
nary if there should be a very extensive
crop this year But even should these
blossoms now on the trees not be killed
by frosts, (and they have been frozen
since they hloomed, there will not be
more than light crop at the most, and
hence | conclude that those who eat
peaches this year will find them an eX-
pensve luxury. There will not be
more than one-tenth as many peaches
grown on this peninsula this year as
there was last.
From present appearances there will
be a fair crop of pears, apples, and
cherries, while the blackberries and
raspberries look unusually promising
The Strawberries have been severely
tried by the frost, and think some of
the very early ones are somewhat
injured, yet there will be fine crop of
them, many more than the market will
take, and good Delaware Strawberries
will again be sold in the streets Of New
York by the wagon boys for from six
to ten cents per quart. Early peas
have been in bloom in Lower Mary land
for the past ten days, and doubtless in
ten days more green peas will be ship
ped to the market from Snow Hill and
Princess Ann. There is considerable
rivalry between the old Dominion Steam
ship and Railroad Company and the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more Railroad in carrying freight, and
rates on fruits and vegetables have been
reduced fully thirty per cent below the
price charged last year from all points
below this place.

Re Wise in Time.

Prompt attention to small ailments is
the part of wisdom. Not only does a
trifing disorder often eliminate in a
dangerous disease, but those ailments
which many are accustomed to regard as
''trifles'' are so far from being so, that
they harrass the entire system, by SYM
pathy, to a degree which very seriously
ieopardizes the general health. Take
for example an irregular habit of body,
which many persons are accustomed to
neglect altogether. Into what. deplor-
able confusion does it throw the entire
ailmentary region, disOrdering digestion,
dfverting the bile from its natural chan
mel into the blood. and alternating the
vital current into a thin, watery, unnu-
trious liquid. IL these are not serious
consequences, we should like to know
what are. Yet how many entail them
upon themselves by neglecting to regu-
late their bowels when they are out of
order.
The best corrective in the case above
described, as well as in all others devel-
-oping indigestive and constipated symp-
toms, is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
mild but efficient laxative, which never
gripes or otherwise distresses the patient
and at the same time that it yields re-
lief from the special difficulty tones and
invigorates the entire system. The Bit
ters are equally efficaeious as diuretic,
promoting a healthy secretion and regu-
lar 7nicturition of the urine, and sooth-
ing irritation of the bladder or the
urethra. Intermittent and remittent fe-
Yers; nervousness, want of appetite, and
local or general debility are likewise
promptly remedied by this admirable
medicinal stimulant and corrective, al
eficacious as it is popular.

fess we were little surprised and agree
Iablyso. He did not wave the bloody
shirt at all He did not aIlude to the
war only as being the cause of the great
National debt, but on the other hand
expressed It as his earnest desire that the
people of all races and all sections of
our country should live in unity and
peace. If it had not been that he ac-
cased Samuel j. Tilden of corrupt and
infamous perjury, and denounced that
gentleman as felon who ought TO be In

been gentlemanly and dignifed through
out. y
Col, James White, 1.-The gentleman
from Hawkins" just before sunset took
the stand and commenced firing off his
seven7barreIed shotgun right and left.
He went for old uncle Peter Foote and
chawed up that venerable pedal extrem-
ity of the Radical party to his entire sat
isfaction and to the huge delight of the
boys. He attacked Grants Administra-
ton and talked of billions and millions
of dollars as glibly as if he had just
cyphered through three arithmetics. he
pitched into Belknap, Babcoek, Boss
Sheppard, and all the rest of the exposed
rascaIs without mercy and without any
sort of fear of contradiction. For an
hour or more he kept the crowd in an
uproar of laughter and fun, and closed
because it was too late fer him to speak
longer bis Comparison of old man
Foote to Peter who cut off that fellows
ear, because he loved his master so
much, and then within an hour denied
the same Master and saoOre he did not
know him, was inimitable. 1t could
not be beaten by any professional COM
median in the world. You men in
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville,
Memphis, etc., if you want some real,
royal fun, send for Col. James White
between now and the election. 1t is
better than circus or a first-class thea
ter.

Foote. Pettibone, white.

On Friday last Gov. Foote and Major
Pettibone, the two candidates for Elec-
tor on the Hayes ticket, made speeches
in Rogersville. Old man FoOte spoke
for something over two hours. The
principal part of his speech was, as a
matter of course, taken up with FOote.
He gave running history of his life,
from the time of'lfs birth in Virginia up
to his election as Governor of Mississip-
pi He then went to California and had
something TO do with, the vigilance
Committee" in San Francisco. Then
he came to Tennessee, where in 1851, he
committed the great error of his life; he
made mistake and got on the losing
side; he persuaded young men to go into
the Rebel army, where great many
thousands of them were killed by their
brothers of the North. For taking the
course he did in 1861, he was very, very
sorry, ara be hoped God Almighty
would forgive him. Governor Foote,
after lie had got through with telling us
Faliout Foote, backed his ears and jpnp-
ed at Tilden like mad horse. He said
Samuel >. TiIdcn Of New York, was a
liar, a thief and a scoundrel, and then
