Mr.. II. e. Hurn, of Elkton, 4 M Maryland,
on Friday, July 18th last, mailed two
postal cards on voyage around the
world. One of them was directed ."To
Liverpool, England; to Calcutta, India,
uia Suez Canal; to Shanghai, China; to
Yokohama, Japan; to San Francisco,
California; to Ii. Z. Hurn, Elkton, Md"
The other contained the same directions,
with the order of the places exactly re-
actly reversed, in order to send it around
the world in a westerly instead of an
easterly course. The first card arrived
in EiKton last Saturday, at 9.23 o'clock,
having been 113 days on the journey,
allowing one day which is unavoidably
gained in circumnavigatingt the globe in
an early direction. The card contained
the postmarks of Liverpool, July 18th,
and Calcutta, August 22d. 1t was held
there for one week and arrived at Bonn
bay on September 1st. 1t reached San
Francisco on the 9th of October, and
arrived in New York November 7th,
reaching Elkton the next day. The cost
of this remarkable trip was six cents,
a five cent stamp having been affixed to
the card for extra postage. The other
card has not yet arrived.

In pursuance Of his rule to keep alive
portions of the History of Delaware, and
disseminate it among the people, City
Treasurer Vincent hands us the follow
ing:
"The following is list of the mem
kers from Delaware TO the Continental
Congress, or the Congress of the United
States, previous to the formation of its
present Constitution. They are arranged
in alphabetical order,with the years they
served. Delaware then had two mem
bers irstead Of one, as at present. 1t
will be seen very few of these names
take prominent part now in our State
affairs. They are, however, by no means
| dead. The descendants of some Of them
have merely emigrated to other States,
and figured there. For instance, Judge
Bedford, of New York, is a descendant
of Cunning Bedford, and other names
that used to be of Delaware are now
prominent in Other 81 ates, but not IN the
| home of their ancestors.
