DELAWARE AT THE CENTENN1AL.-Th

DELAWARE Al THE CENTENNIAL.-Th
| display of the State of Delaware, in the
| Agricultural Hall of the Centennial
Buildings, attracts universal attention.
1t consists of sections of number of
huge trees and some immense ship tim
ber knees. Amongst them is one i'm
mense block of black walnut, from
St. Jones Neck, Kent County. which
cannot be less than s or feet in dame
ter, and section of an immense tulip
poplar tree, also from Kent County,
which is also or S feet in diameter,
Sussex has there portion of the trunk
of yellow pine or feet in diam eter,
also portion of the trunk OF an immense
cypress, about or Z feet in diameter.
This has 720 rings, each ,ing standing
for years growth. Therefore this tree
is at least 720 years old, but this is no
criterion for its age. 1t was dug from
the Cypress Swamp, and has more than
probable been buried there several hum
dred years. The label on it speaks of it
as possibly laying in the swamp 100 years.
The Cypress Swamp was in existence
when the State was first settled by the
white men over 23S years, and it was un-
doubtedly buried before that time.
Therefore thousand years would be
more in accordance with its age, In
Vincent S History of Delaware will be
found an account of the manner in which
these trees are procured. Men go round
with long rods, push them into the marsh
and when they find resistance expect it
to be the trunk of a tree, and dig down
to see, and il so they dig it out. \ great
amount of timber is usually dug up in
this manner. In addition to the trees
the old Colonial Bell that was on the
State House at Dover is exhibited there.
The inscription on it says it was cast in
1868, or 113 years ago. There were more
people looking at the Delaware exhibit
tion, considering its size, than any other
in Agricultural Hall. The big trees form
striking object, which every one pas
sing stops to contemplate.-Reppolicd,,.

LETTER from Samuel To,rnsem.l.

AN APPEAL TO THE SOUND COMMON SENSE
DEMOCRATS IN NEW CASTLE COUNTY
For the Delaware Gazette.
Do you consider it sound Democratic
policy, after IL county meeting was held
III May, or first OF June. and at said
meeting, after full discussion. nppointad
committee OF thirteen to revise Pulea
and allow the people to decide at an cleo
tion to be held on the 9TH day of August
whether nominations for candidates to.
the Legislature and Levy Court should
be nominated by ballot. and what other
kind OF Rules, if any, were necessary,
five of chat committee left out and er-
tirely ignored the proposition to give the
people a chance to vote on that subject
only indirectly. for this said committee
OF live passed a set of Rules, and in ac-
cordance with the resolutions of the said
county meeting (that had appointed said
committed they reported them to tie
executive committee whose prescribed
duty it was to give notice that solem i
and binding election by ballot should 10

Democratic voters in the several Hur-
dreds and Wards of this county to de-
eide on said Rules reported by the con-
mittee of thirteen. and said election was
held and a report from the Judges wL)
held said elections was made 10 the ex-
ecutive committee and said executive
committee reported to the September
County Meeting the defeat OF said pro-
posed Rules at the said 5th of August

ance from Wilmington, have pretended

high handed trick of ignoring by
small meeting Of the county solemn
election held in the different Hundred;
is allowed.
What may we expect next; the Hun.

RUBBER AND C1PCINE.

There Is scarcely branch OF human indus
try in which India Rubber has not in some
form found its way. Although widely known
and used, but few are aware of its medicinal
virtues and great curative properties. Prac-
tical experiment has proven that 1t is natur-
al reservoir of electricity, containing more
than any known substance or compound
Owing to this fact it has been used with sue
cess in curing Nervous complaints and Rheu-
matism that were invulnerable to drugs.
1t has also been discovered that India Rub
Der possesses all the properties valuable as
aspe i6c for Pulmonary complaints and cures
eases. Combined with Capcine it is unparal-
leled as Pain Reliever, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted it on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most efrectuai way OF using the article
is in the form OF perforated plaster. The
extensive use of ordinary PerfoIa ated or Por-
GUS Plasters, is testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with the or
binary Rubber Porous Plaster is that it acts
too slowly-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pam or to effect cure.
A celebrated Physician of New York, who
has long made the medical properties of Rub
ber a study has succeeded in making grea
improvement in Porous Plaster by int roduc
ing Capcine, which Overcomes all the former
objections, causing the Plaster to do in n
few moments or hours. that which 1T former
ly required days or weeks.
Capcne is the most valuable ingredient
ever used as an eXternalrcmedy. 1toperates
with astonishing vigorand relieves pain i'm
mediately. Its curative properties have be
come 30 famous that anenterprising nrm IL
New York took it in hand. and by bringing
Capclne riaster to the attention Of Physi
clans, have met with unprecedented success
