THE RESULT

Dispatches up to the. time of going
to press indicate that all the Southern
States have gone Democratic except
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana,
which are in doubt. Of TIE Northern
States, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Indiana seem certain for tile Democra.
cy. New York is claimed for the Re-
publicans. The National Republican
Committee claim that with Florida and
Oregon, Hayes is barely elected. The
St. Paul Dispatch Of yesterday thinks
Tilden is elected.

LETTER FROM A FARMER

EDITOR ADVANCE: I watch the
mail every week for your wide-aw;ak1ee'
paper and read it the first hour 1 can
get hold Of it. 1 never read any coun-
try paper with greater pleasure. T like
your way of publishing everything of
interest going on in Worthington and
the surrounding community regardless,
of friend or foe, Colony or antiColony.
My neighbors and searched tile Jour-
nal in vain for an account Of; the most
disgrsceful performance. that was ever
enacted III our cousity-seat. Turning

one-tenth that Prof. IIumiston has

body, and especially Of the poor, many of
whom would have suffered and pr0ba-

when the railroid was blockaded during

of no kind, not even hay, to burn. He,
by his foresight, anticipated the posi-

needy family whether they had money
or not, and understand that much of

4 DUTY FOR THE WORTHINGT ON H. E.
CHURCH.

4 DUTY FOR THE WORTH1N CT ON H. E
CHURCH.
EDITOR ADVANCE: Your course in
regard to the recent unfortunate affair
between the Trustees of the M. E.
Church and the Colony Company, must
certainly meet the approval of all fair
minded persons. You have shown no
partizan spirit, but on tile contrary
have given fairly the statements of
both parties. 10 this certainly no one
can object.
Taking these statements as they
stand. it must be apparent to every UNI
prejudiced person that 4 great wrong
and all inexcuSable outrage has been
perpetrated in our community. and the
good name Of the community demands
that it should he righted. 1t has been
perpetrated III the name, and, 1t is
CT timed, by tile authority, of one of our
pvincipa churches. That cll,lrch-uo
churcll-can afford to rest under such
4 stigma as that. If it sanctions such
conduct, it's pretended worship of God
is nothing but the most hollow mock
! cry. and it had better close its doors
and turn the Hall into gambling
house. There would then, at least, be
no hypocricy about it.
If tile facts concerning the manner il,
which the Trustees got possession of
those notes of Dr.. Mlller's are correct
]y given in Prof. Humiston's statement,
the transaction on the part of the Trus..
tees was one that would destroy the
business standing of any business man
in any respectable community in the
land. ! hesitate not to say that any
private individual who would be guilty
of such conduct would, by all who
knew him, lie regarded as without bus
mess honor and Enthusiastically i'll bust
ness affairs. 49,.
Can Il church afford to do acts, or to
sanction them, that would disgrace an
individual? -; .y.l ~. =.

The prospect for crop Of this fruit this
year 10 not promising. In our own or
chards there Is nothing left but the Sal
ways, which are quite full, and the emocks
are about half crop. In belt running
from the Delaware to the Chesapeake, and
from about Camden up to Mirkwood Sta
tion on the Delaware Railroad, there will
be about as full a crop as can be expected
to follow the enormous fruitage Of last
year; but south of this the prospect Is very
favorable. In tn, lower counties of Mary
land and Virginia and in Sussex in this
State, more than half the buds are already
killed, and if the weather proves favorable
from this on, there cannot be any more
than on fourth Of crop. But the most
critical season is not yet passed. This
month more generally proves fatal to the
young fruit than any other, and no calcu-
lations can consequently be made with Ger
tainty before the 10th of May. A. the
trees stand at present thete will probably
be as many peaches as can be probably
marketed. How it will be month hence
time will show.-[ Myord News.
