the following pointed remarks in relation

lonage of the Peninsula:
" AS GROWERS and grumblers Whining.

OF them seem to he dead from the hips up.
and II they would die altogether and give
place to better material it would not only
be good thing for the undertakes and

They make no effort TO secure State or
Penlnsular trade but quietly sit in their de-
serted stores and wonder why our great and
constantly increasing local traffic daily
passes Wilmington in search of market in
Philadelphia or New York. They do not
spend one hundred dollars year in adver
tIslng themselves in Sussex county, while
Philadelphia merchants spend thousands
either in advertising through the news.

that "Eow honor has boon done to the

The stock market in New York has not
been so excited as during the past week, it
is said, for five years, and the sales the
heaviest for years. The grain market has
also been equally excited. Wheat has adj
vanced during the past month in the
cities from thirty to forty cents per bushel,
the advance Monday and Tuesday being
five or six cents each day. The heavy de-
mand from Europe is said to be the cause,
but it looks as if a speculative mania had
much to do with this rapid rise.

Mr.. Bayard's friends think that the defeat
OF Ewing in Ohio will immensely strengthen
the Senator's chances for the presidential
nomination; and if this is followed by the
defeat of Robinson in New York, stbev
believe Mr.. Bayard's nomination will be
almost assured. Mr.. Sherman's friends saw
that if Foster is elected in Ohio and Cornell
beaten in New York, the Secretary will
certainly be the Republican presidential
candidate

this he used the funds of the bank. Then
to cover up this he distracted more funds

structive conhagrations known in
the history Of the county. About
midnight the Primitive Methodist
Church was-discovered to be on fire,
at which time the furious flames had
gained such headway that it was
an impossibility, with the inadequate
means available, to check their hur-
ried flight, and the excited citi.
zens who rushed from their beds
and gathered at the scene as the
alarm was being made, could only
stand around amazed, bewildered
and shivering watching the frey
tiend devour its prey. BY 3 o'clock
a. IN, the fine edifice, together with
the vestry that stood pear the rear,
was smitten to tho ground, and
only heap of smouldering embers
remained. The cause, we under
stand, was by some defect or mis-
management of the furnace in the
basement. This is great loss to
the society and one which will be
difficult to overcome.
