The WEATHEE.-The depression over Canada
continues to move slowly northeastvard to
Nova Scotia and the North Atlantic, attended
BY rains and light snow. The pressure fell
yesterday along the Atlantic coast, causing
light rains from Florida to New England, and
there is = probability that energetic dis
turbancc will develop over and eastward from
Newfoundland, where the low pressure on the
coast unites with that passing over Upper
Cauada. The barometer continues high in
the Northwest, West and Southwest, with
very low temperature and fresh northwest
orly winds. Light snow is falling over
tlc lake region and Ohio Valley, aud will
probably prevail in the Middle and Eastern
etotcs. The weather in New York and its
vicinity to-day will be cold and cloudy, with
u,ht snow or rain, and followed by very cold
.nd clearing weather on Saturday.

The DEPosTToRs Of the Union Dime Savings
Bank have reason to congratulate themselves
that, according to the report of the Examiner,
there is a surplus Of nearly three hundred and
seventy thousand dollars. This is considerably
less than onc-half the surplus reported by the
bank itself in its last report, and shows the ten
dcncy of bank officials to overestimatc their
assets The Union Dimes directors are in n
pretty safe condition, but there is no margin for
wild investments.

SourH CAROLINA is rapidly shaking off the
ring of corrupt officials who have been SO long
pundering and misgovcrning her. Wright, the
negro Associate Justice of her Supreme Court,
who has just resigned to avoid impeachment,
had not a single qualification for the position he
held, ahd his elevation to responsible a trust
shows the rottenness of the system that SO re-
gently prevailed in that State.

CONGRESS should Immediately make pro-
vision to put the liic-saving stations in
thorough condition of equipment. 1t
is agreed on all hands that il the sts-
ton near the scene of the wreck of the unfort,l-
nate Huron had been manned many lives would
have been saved. The policy that leaves our
sailors and passengers to the mercy of the
waves, while thousands of worthless officials are
kept In Office is u disgrace and swindlc.

STEAMER RICHMOND AsHoRE.-The steamer
Richmond OH the route between Lewes and
New York with big load Of peaches from
Lewes got ashore on Brigantinc shoal on
Monday night 10Th, and had TO lay there
until her consort the ABcmarlc came along
the next day and hauled her of. She got
into New York Tuesday afternoon and her
cargo sold for 800.
In LOVE WITH REmoBoTH.-A prominent
citizen of Talbot county, Md, recently
visited Rehoboth, Ocean City and Chinco
league, and here is his rapturous opinion
of the first named. In letter to the St.
Michaels Comet he says: Before so hastily
parting with RehOboth, must pause to
say-it is one Of the grandest beaches on
the cOast-almost entirely free from that
terror Of the bather, the undertow = it
presents a graduaL beach which makes it
absolutely safe with the most ordinary dis
cretion, and when the railroad is extended
to the spot, it will be so accessible to travel
that Philadelphia and New York will pour
out their teeming population in the heated
term to over-hOwing. The Old Dominion
Steamship Company has taken the matter
in hand, and their special engineer, Col
Mapes, is now surveying the routes, and
during an interesting conversation with
him, ! learned that he favored the shorl
route, which would enable those approach
ing by rail to enjoy the ride directly on the
beach from Lewes to Rehoboth. | think il
easy to agree with Col. Mapes, as it woulC
be exceedingly attractive to approach it so
RehobOth mast be a great watering place
Its success is assured beyond peradven
ture.

The Boston clergyman, Mr.. Murray, has
acquired among newspapers, in reference
to certain of his writings, name which is
certainly not musical. They call him "the
Rev. Adirondack Murray" Preaching
last Sunday in Springfield, Mr. Murray
presented the view that Christianity will
ultimately give place to some other religion,
as held by good many good people, who
arraign it as being no help to the poor and
ignorant in giving them good homes, whole
some food, adequate and economical medi-
cal attendance and inexpensive burial.
He then explained that the religion of the
future would be Christianity that should
do all these things, and that the theologians
on Andover Hill would be taught how to
minister to sick people in city tenement
houses, and the New England churches
would learn that Christianity is not theology,
not thinking and believing, but being and
doing good. AS for himself, he had not
consulted commentary for six years, nor
looked into any book in preparing his
sermons but the Bible and dictionary for
two years and a half.

WHY THE TRAMPS CoME.-The New York
Tribune of Saturday had this paragraph in
an editorial article:
ain Delaware, too, in the peach-piclking
season, all the working-women betake
themselves to the orchards, and it is almost
impossible to get any servants for the
indoor work. 1t is true, this stress of de-
mand for labor will last only for six weeks.
But an honest, active girl who makes a
good connection" in farming region, is
not going to be left to starve."
1t is just through such over-drawn state
ments as this in the newspapers of the
large cities that many of the tramps are
sent swarming into our midst. This item
is purely fancy sketch, as far from the
real facts of the case as our women (even
colored ones) are from taking the place OF
field hands 1t is too true that we have
hard work to get good house,servants, but
it is not from any scarcity of women, OF
any desire on their part to work anywhere
else, but because those who do housework
are not good. We have lots of them, but
as the Tribune says, it is almost impossible
to get good ones.

CLOVER SEED.-From all we can learn a
good crop of clover seed will be harvested
in this locality this fall. The drought has
been somewhat against it, but it had a
good send-off at the start, and a large
acreage is under culture from that fact.
We speak of this because clover seed rails
ing is surely a growing industry in our
midst. We now raise more than we buy
of this crop every fall, if the droughts do
not interfere, and one or two favorable
seasons recently some of our farmers have
exported cleverly. Now that we have men
in our midst prepared TO hull the clover
with the latest improved machinery, there
is every reason for our farmers to try and
profit as much by this crop as by any other
they grow, and so far the experiment has
been q success. 1t used to be a heavy
drain to our farmers when they had tc
send away for all their seed used in the grow
ing of clover. The first important step il
the effort to grow our seed was made in the
fall of 1874, when it is estimated that at leas
GOO bushels were grown as a surplus anC
sold by our farmers, one alone shipping 10
bushels, and netting over 5000 from hi
crop. Over $500, it was estimated, wa
realized by the crop of that year, whicl
was just the difference between that sun
brought into the community and tha
amount sent out of it, as had been the cas-
for twenty years before that time. Tha
was an especially favorable season, bu
ever since then our more thrifty farmer!
who study political economy, have trie
the crop if there was any show at all for il
propagation. The present summer ha
been a tolerably fair one.

MURDER WILL OUT.-A few years ago
august Flower" was discovered to be
certain cure for Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plant, few thin Dyspeptics made known
to their friends how easily and quickly they
had been cured by its use. The great
merits of Green's August Flower became
heralded through the country by one suf-
ferer to another, until, without advertising,
its sale has become immense. Druggists in
every town in the United States are selling
it. No person suffering with Sour Stomach,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Palpitation of
the Heart, Indigestion, low spirits, etc,
can take three doses without relief. Go to
your Druggist-Jas. P. Hoffecker, Smyrna

CUTTING OFF SUPPLIEs.-For many years
it has been the custom of the Trustees of
the Poor of this county KENT to appropri-
ate 81 per month to a number of the poor
people who, though in needy circumstances,
declined to go to the Almshouse for sup
port. This bounty has been growing year
by year until it amounted to about $4,000
per annum, and the Trustees, about two
months ago, voted to do away with it
altogether. This action was very unex-
pected, and has caused considerable CEN
sure. But the trustees claim, and we
think justly, that this bounty was not
legally applied, as rule. The law, accord
ing to their Interpretation, does not allow
the appropriation to be made unless the
claimants cannot be removed to the Aims
house. 1t is asserted, however, that of
those who were paid the bounty, every one
Of them could have been removed to the
Almshouse if they had been willing to 60.
The cause for resembling the rule was
this: S. P. Truax, Trustee for this Hun
dred, handed in the la,. of one or two
parties as clal:nan bounty, and
the Board declined to allow them, for the
reason that Duck Creek was already draw
ing more than its share from the fund, and
further, that if there was not limit fixed
to these applications they would soon
absorb all the money in the AlmshousC
treasury. Mr.. #. did not dissent from thii
- IL
whose names he had presented were al
justly entitled to the bounty rs any on the
rolls, and the Board could not afford t.
act partially. Mr.. T. insisted that tn,
county, to be just, should allow all claims
of this kind or refuse all. So the question
was put to vote, and it was decided to re
fuse all-greatly to the surprise of some o
the Board. The illegality of the bount,
was the ground for abandoning it, All tn
claimants could have quarters in the Aims
house, and receive full support, but non
Of them will accept this.
The bounty system was accepted becaus
it was a saving to the county. 1t wa
much cheaper to give an allowance of 8
to INDECENT citizens out os the Almshous
than to give them fun support in tn
Almshouse, and this matter of econom
lead to a violation of the letter and spir
of the law. e
We think the system is good an
economical one, and ought to be carrie
outi but not in violation of our statute
The law should be altered to suit the cas-

NOTES ON THE WAR.

With such a flood of news as is consta t.
ly coming in, either in The form of tele.
grams or correspondence, it seems to need
an apology when we propose TO add our
modest notes to the volume. Our apolo-
gy or rather our excnse just lies in the
fact that there is so much news. All
readers are not able to follow it up, while
others find it difficult to seize on the
leading facts and form for themselves o
conception of the position of affairs, and
it is tor such we write. We will endea-
vour to describe in a few words the posi-
tions Of the combatants on each OF the
three areas of warfare.
First, the Back Sea. Here the Turks
have gained no serious advantage by the
possession of their fine iron cad fleet.
They have not hombarded any of the
Russian towns on the European shore,
either because s2ch an act would be q
useless piece Of barbariSn or because they
are afraid Of torpedoes. On the Asiatic
side, the troops and the fleet have been
withdrawn from Soukum Kaleh and those
of the revolving Abkhassians who could
not escape to Asia Minor in the Turkish
transport-ships have had to make their
peace with Russia ; so that the only gain
which the Turks had made by means Of
their fleet has been abandoned.
Next Armenia. Here the position of
affairs is just what it was shortly after the
outbreak of the war. The Russians still
hold Arabian and are advancing 10 the
direction OF Erxereum. Further south
