Of the foreign commerce for all other ports
of the United States except New York ex-
ceeded that of the preceding year by more
chan $l1,000,000, New York lost over
$9s 100000, making decrease in the
foreign commerce of the whole country ex.
ceeding sSI,000,000. The value of domes-

AGRICULTURAL SoCIETIEs--IMPoRTANT
MovEMENT.-The Baltimore Bulletin says: A
gentleman from the Eastern Shore now in
the city, informs us that there is an effort
being made on the peninsula to hold a CON
vention composed of representatives from
all the agricultural societies from Whining
ton to Cape Charles. The object of the
proposed convention is to organize a
permanent association which shall pro-
mulgate rules and regulations for the
guidance of the several county societies. 1t
is further proposed, as we are informed, to
dispense with the racing rules ofthe National
Trotting Association, heretofore adopted,
and to enact a set which, it is thought, will be
better adapted to the peculiar wants of the
people and country. There is another
point that is proposed to be considered
which seems to be one of paramount i'm
portance, viz: the fixing of dates for hold,
ing the Fall fairs in the differnt counties SC
as not to bring them into conflict.

SUICIDE OF MILFORD FARMER-Last
sunday afternoon, John Ingram, Sem,
man about GO years old, living in Cedar
Neck, four niles from Milford, committed
suicide by hanging himself, by rope to II
Jolst In the barn. lie had locked himself
up, so that the lock had to be broken by
those seeking him, and was dead when
found. No reason for the rash act is as
signed.-Commcrc;M.
STATE PRINTING.-It is well known that
for years tho public printing has been
'Jobbed' out in the interests of few
newspapers, and this is always, of course,
at the expense of the taxpayer. We cite
an instance. Bids were asked for for the
printing of a Senate Journal. Mr.. OByrne
offered to do the work at G5 cents per
page. The Sentinel offered to do it at the
same rate. The work was given to Mr..
Townsend Of Sussex at $l.25 per page
This was done because Mr.. Townsend Ian
a paper in accord with the party-and the
people Of the Stale were required to pay GO
cents on every page of that journal unnc-
cessarily, in order to support I; newspaper.

HEAVY WEIGHTs.-The RdluJEca,, states
that there is a family named Pcnnock,
father and three sons, living in Mill Creek
Hundred, that are surely heavy weights
The old gentleman weighs 800 pounds, and
the boys Alpheus, franklin and Pusey,
weigh respectively 1876, 204, and 20G, and
stand over six feet in their stockings.
st. Georges hundred can beat that
Seven brothers, born and raised there, now
in the prime of life, none over 80. aggregate
l525 pounds, or average very nearly 2lS ;
five Of them weigh ll75, an average of just
235; this includes the youngest, who
though only 25 years old, weighs POO
| What other hundred can beat that? There
are giants in these days.-Dd. Farmer.
TIE FARMERS BANK--In the face of a
public demand for a showing of its affairs,
the apparent determination of the mana
gers of the Farmers Bank not to let the
people know anything Of them is inexplica-
BILE. We presented the figures day or
two ago, showing that the State has the
following interests in the Bank:

ABOUT GETTING MARRIED.

They hardly know how to take Mr..
Messick's bill to encourage marriages at
home. Some are inclined to think that
the old gentleman is a humorist and others
say that he is really III earnest. He has
had the bill printed and is getting signers
to petitions asking that the bill be passed.
But there will be any number protesting
against it, one of which is held by Mr..
Burnite and signed by one hundred and
fifty young ladies of FELTON, and vicinity
who declare that it is unreasonable and
unjust for the law to attempt to prevent
the romantic and chivalrous custom of
elopements.

THE FARMERS BANK.
DIVIDING DOVER HUNDRED.

Mr.. Wright of Dover has come to the
conclusion in the House that Dover Hun
dred is entirely too large and has intro
duced and had passed by that body an act
to divide it into two, East and West Dover
Hundreds. The election will be held
separately in each, but it will not increase
the representation of Constable or Levy
Court Commissioners. In the Senate Mr..
Denney has charge of the bill and has had
it given a second reading in that body and
it will pass tomorrow.

BULL-DozING REPUBLICANS.

Mr.. Robinson, of Sussex, is interested in
the delinquent tax payers. He states that
as the law now stands the delinquents are
kept off the assessment only twelve months,
which gives them the opportunity of being
assessed at the meeting of the Levy Court
and voting. This he says defeats the object
of the law which is to keep them from
voting. A bill which he has introduced
extends the time, and he says that it will
keep many dishonest man from voting,
who would put his vote on the wrong side
any way.
Smyrna times., 1877-02-07
STATE BONDS.

Those who possess State bonds will now
have an opportunity to realize money on
them. Mr.. Fiddeman on the Finance
Committee in the Senate has reported to
that body bill in relation to this matter
The bill states that the State Treasurer shall
give two months notice before the first of
July in the newspapers for 100000 of State
bonds, and will commence their redemp-
ton on the day named. The first call will
be for the lowest in number and will con-
tinue from time to time until the whole
number of outstanding bonds shall be re-
deemed.

THE ADJCTANT GENERAL.

There must be more glory than pay
attached to the office of the Adiutant Gen
eral, for he is now having desperate time
to get his pay from tho Legislature. A
joint resolution was offered in the House
to-day to pay him the sum af four hundred
dollars. Upon this the House went in to
Committee of the Whole and tinkered
away at it for nearly an hour, but not until
the afternoon session were they able to
adopt Eit, and now it goes to the Senate,
where the chances are just as likely that it
will be shaved down as that it will be
passed in an undisturbed state.

THE MIDDLETowN FAIR ASSOCIATION.

The Peninsula Agricultural and Pomo-
logical Society at Middletown have sought
a means through the Legislature to prevent
trouble in the election of its secretary. 1t
is stated that whenever this election takes
place, which is in the hands of the stock
holders, that it is never satisfactory. Now
they have an act before the Legislature
asking a supplement to their charter which
will give the electoral power of the Society
to the Board of Managers.

When I Mean to Marry.
DY JOHN o: SAKE.

When do l mean TO marry? When
IT'S idle to dispute with fate;
But if you choose to hear me tell,
Pray listen whilo fix the date.
When daughters haste with eager feet,
A mothers daily toll to share,
Can make the puddngs which they cat,
And mend the stockings which they wear!
When maidens look upon man,
AS in himself what they would marry,
And not as army soldiers can
A sutler or o commissary.
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of lovers hand,
Consent to share his "earthly lot,"
And do not mean his lot Of land
When young mechanics arc allowed
To find and we'd the farmers girls,
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubios, diamonds, gems and poarls
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their spouscs
And live as they wero wont to live
Within their sre's one-story houses
Then, mGdam-if I'm not too old
Rejoiced to quite this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver, cease to scold,
And look about me for wife.

1877

AOSN NG " IOhA' lO(I
The different editions of THE SUN during
tho next year will be the samo as during the
year that has passed. The daily edition will
on week days be a sheet of four pages, and on
Sundays sheet OF eight pages, or Sc broad
columns; while the weekly edition will be
sheet Of eight pages of the same dimensions
and character that arc already familiar to our
friends.
The Sun will continue to be the strenuous
advocate of reform and retrenchment, and Of
the substitution Of craftsmanship, WISDOM
and integrity for hollow pretencc, imbecility,
and fraud in the administration of public af-
fairs. 1t will contend for the government of
the people by the people and for the people,
as opposed to government by frauds in the
ballot box and in the counting of votes, on
forced by military violence. 1t will ondeavor
to supply its readers-a body now not for
from million of souls-with the most caro-
tul, complete, and trustworty accounts of cur.
rent events, and will employ for this purpose
numerous and carefully selected staff of re-
porters and correspondents. Its reports from
Washington, especially, will be full, accurate,
and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to
deserve and enjoy the hatred of those who
thrive by plundering the Treasury or by
usurplng what the law does not give them,
while it will endeavor to merit the confid ence
of the public by defending the rights of the
people against the cncroachmcnts of unjusti-
fed power.
The price Of the daily Sun will be IS cents
month or Sc SO year, post paid, or with
tho Sunday edition 81 70 a year
The Sunday edition alone, eight pages,
Sl 2O year, post paid.
The Weekly Sun, eight pages of SO broad
columns will be furnished during 1877 at the
rate of 81 year, post paid.
The benefit of this large reduction from the
previous rate for The Weekly can be enjoyed
by individual subscribers without the neces
sity of making up clubs. At the same time,
If any of our friends choose to aid in extend
ing our circulation, we shall be grateful to
them, anu every such person who sends us ten
or more subscribers from one place will be
entitled to one copy of the paper for himself
without charge. At one dollar o year, post
age paid, the expenses Of paper and printing
are barely repaid; and, considering the size
Of the sheet and the quality Of its contents,
we are confident the people will consider The
Weekly Sun the cheapest newspaper publish-
cd in the world, and we trust also orc of the
very best. Address,
