A Sussex Mans Surprise

A man whose life had been spent ex-
clusively within the boI ders of his native
county of Sussex and the greater part Of
in the widest and most remote region of
that part Of the State, came up to Will
ming on day or two ago to visit some
friends living in the Eighth Ward. Upon
reaching the house, he was about to
,ock for admittance when he observed
the door-bell, thing he never seen be-
fore. The door stood ajar and he OPEN
ed it cautiously and peeped inside to see
it after having satisfied himself as TO
its use, he gave the knob pull and set
the bell jingling at great rate.
The look of astonishment and pleased
surprise that spread over the face of the
Sussex county citizen as soon as the
sound Of the door bell reached his ears,
is said, by parties who were watching
him, to have been Of the completest ma.
ture. lie commenced pulling the bell
every half minute, and with every pull
would utter an exclamation like this :
"Well, now, If that aint scandalOus! 1t
beats the fog horn down at Indian River"
The lady of the house, who had been
watching him all this time, came forward
and admitted him at length, but bad to
make a great effort TO conceal her merri-
ment.

WILMINGTON AND BRANDYWINE
SUMMIT

Some time ago the GAZETTE in Q gen.
eral article upon camp meetings, hiuted
at a difficulty that was causing SONS
hard feeling between the Wilmington
Methodists, and the people Of Sil0aA
church, who run Brandywine Summit
and stated that things looked a. though
the attendance would not be 90 large
there, 80.
Apropcs of this, the Conference Wor-
ker says: .....f sfrr
"From present indications IL does mt
look as if our Wilmington Aeth0dism
will be as well represented ct the Bran
dywine Summit camp meeting this
year as in former year,, owing partly, no
doubt, to a dearth of religious interest
amongst camp meeting goers, but moro
particularly to the growing distaste for
the manner and style in which this ca@p
has been formerly conducted The lo-
eating committee met on the grounds
last Monday and many tents were chosen
representing Union, Asbury and 81.
Paul's churches. We understand tho
question of what shall be sold at this
camp on the Sabbath will be settled TO-
day Saturday when the '"privileees,"
will be given out" Hs- " - ~
There are some of the Managers who
contend for the sale of certain articles on
the Sabbath, such as bread, cakes, meal,
mineral water and lemonade. Wilming-
ton folks propose to be governed BY Tie
resolutions passed at our last Conference
and it yet remains to be seen just what
conclusion will be arrived 1t by the
managers. We hope they will see eye
to eye but they will certainly have 10 be
cautious.'

Parole Beaten Again.

Mr.. Gretton's famous horse Isonomy
yesterday returned the compliment paid
him by Parole at Newmarket las: spring
by beating the American gelding in the
race for the Goodwood Cup. Fortune
did not favor Parole in any Of the cir
cumstances attending the race. Rain
fell in torrents during the morning max
ing the track soggy and heavy, and this.
with two and half mile course and q
tend against, was not promising for the
-eldipg. These are plain facts, and are
not mentioned as an excuse for the dis
appointment Of the American stable.
Parole was fairly beaten taking the third
place, while Isonomy justified the judge
ment Of his hackers by capturing the
prize.
