this winter our ice cream dealers say, and
say thoughtfully has nothing to do with the
cream market. The cream comes from the
COW and not the mill pond; and, suppose
next summer should be SO dry that the
COWS should not give more than enough
cream to go in the coffee, what advantage
would the ice be? Well that is u cOnum

an indicator of spring as the grounding.
The most disagrecable sound that has
been heard for the past ten years is the

This has been q severe winter on the

Walking matches amount almost to

Local Option.

VIII the Legislature grant our petition
for Local Option? is the query often suggest
ed to our minds. What are the Represen-
tatives sent to the Legislature for, but to
enact laws for the good OF the community
they represent? Is not this Democratic
State? And have we not the right TO ask
them to let us vote whether we will have
liquor sold in Smyrna or not? Certainly
we who know the erI of the rum traffic are
entitled to have hearing on the subject,
and the privilege of voting whether we will
submit to the nefarious business. How
many grievances are entailed upon US by
these houses where liquor is sold, Does
not the law we have forbid the sale of
ardent spirits to habtual inebriates, and is
that law respected by the 'venders Of the
poison? | trow not DO we not see men
unsteady in their gait, 90 in such places
and come out with increased disability to
walk home, and sometimes asking for help
to guide them to their families who are SUI.
terlng from these violaters OF the lew? Let
us have the power to say this great cuH shall
be removed from among as, and our children
as well as husbands and fathers shall no
longer be led into temptation and all the
| concomitant vices which are found in a

A DEFICIENCY has been shown by the
State Auditors report in the accounts of
Kent and Sussex counties of $4,000. Mr..
Dean offered resolution directing the at.
tention of the House to the deficiency, or,
as it has otherwise been called, defalcation,
but Mr.. Hall informed them that Kent and
Sussex could pay their debts without any
interference from New Castle CO., and Mr..
Dean got no votes in its favor but his own.
The deficiency for Kent is $4,000 and Sus-
sex $4,000. Divide Kent's defalcation of
$4,000 between her nine collectors, and
each of them owes the State 81, 1873. .335
