Our young friend Thos. L. Jones
met with quite a serious accident
Sunday evening. He, in company
with G.. w. Ferris, had been out rid
ing, and were returning home late in
the evening. When near the resi-
dence of Mrs. Deuser, west end Main
street, the horse they were driving
became frig htened at boy who was
rattling q piece of sheet iron, and
making a sudden spring, threw Mr..
Jones from the buggy, he carrying
the lines with him. Mr.. Ferris was
not thrown out, but having nc lines
with which to control the frightened
animal, waited for a favorable oppor-
tunity to jump, which be did soon,
without much injury to himself. Mr.
Jones received several injuries, the
most serious Of which is the breaking
of his collar hone, and kick in the
breast from the horse, as he was
thrown under the buggy. He is re-
ceiving the watcbful care of his
friends, and it is hoped will soon be
able to again attend to business.

pany in the court ty that has az complete
set Of surveys and applications, and as thor
ough description of everv risk they have,
as is to be found in the Office of the Dela-
ware State Fire and Marine Insurance
Co. The company has been to great ex-
pense in establishing and equippiug agents,

ture. There is room in this city and
State for the company. II is only neces-
sary for us to consider the large amount OF
money that ia paid annually by our citizens
to foreign companies for insurance. l
have carefully looked int the matter, and
| am.satisfed that the people of Delaware
pay annually over one hundred thousand
dollars to fereign Insurance companies,
and not more than twenty five or thirty
thousand dollors are paid by these com-
panies for Losses to the people in this..State.
Therefore we want the Delaware State Fire
and Marine Insurance Co. to stand, and
to grow great, rich and strong.
In New England, they not only insure
all their property in New England com>
panies, but their companies put their agen-
cies in every State of the Union, and the
Insurance Companies OF Hartford have
made it the richest city in the world for
its size five cannot equal the Hartford
Companies, we can at least have compan-
les enough to insure all the property in
this State, except special hazz 'rds. There
are at least two thOuaaad persons in Del
aware and % the eastern shore of Mary>
land that are interested financially in The
Delaware State Fire and Marine Insurance
Co. | would suggest that the Policy hold
ers come or send their representative froD
each tswn 10 the annual meeting on the
second Tuesday 10 January, and if they
fad that the company is BOT well managed
by its present Directors aud officers, they
then elect new set.
Select men that will manage the cons
pany in the interest of The assured, and
if close investigation should show that the
present management is in all respect SAL
isfactory, then let every agent and every
policy holder work and work hard to
make the company the largest and strong~
est company in the State, for it is certain~
ly the best advertised.
Every one from New York to CalifornN
ia that is in the Insurance business, knows
that there is an Insurance company in

MY MOTHER.
JOHN W. c.

That was thrilling seen, in the old
time-the wine circling around the
board, and the banquet ringing with
sentiment and soDg-when the lady of each
kuightly heart having been pledged by
name, St. Leon arose in his turn, aud, lit
lug the sparkling cup on high, said,-
81 drink to one
Whose image never may depart,
Deep craven on this grateful heart,
Till memory is dead;
To one whose love for me shall last
When lighter passions long have passed,
SO holy tits and true;
To one whose love hath longer dwelt,
More deeply fixed, more keenly felt,
Than any pledge to you"
Each guest Cpstarted at the word,
And laid bis hand upon his sword,
With fiery flashing eye;
And Stanley said, "We crave the name
Proud knight, Of this most peerless dame,
Whose loye you count SO high"
st Leon paused, as If he would
Not breathe her name In careless mood
Thus lightly to another,-
Then bent his noble head, as thongh
To give that word the reverence due,
And gently said, "MY MOTHER"

Health PreserVatiVe.

The eminent hygienic reformer, Edwin
Chadwick, cites facts to prove that skin
cleanliness, frequent ablutions of the
whole person, is powerful preservative
against all infectious and contagious
diseases. He asserts that in children's
institutions the death-rate and cases of
sickness have been reduced one-third by
regular head-to-foot ablutions with tepid
water. Medical men OF experience, who
serve amid plaques and the most terrible
epidemics give themselves regular head
to-foot ablutions twice day. Mr.. Chad
wick adds: "If had again to serve as
member of general board, and had to
exercise authority in providing defences
against epidemics, wonld propose
regulations for the immediate and gene
raj rubbing of the population, and
have it seen to as sedulously as vaccina.
tion for protection against smallpox. !"
To show the influence Of skin cleanliness
on the assimilation of food, Mr.. Chad
wick relates the following incident:
"a friend of mine," he writes, " in
command of a brigade in Spain, was
hemmed in, and his men were put on
very short rations. To amuse them-it
being summer time-heencouraged them
to bathe daily in river close by, and he
