pletely played out, it is pretty certain that
you need a medicine to act on both the kid

work together in freeing the system OF its
waste, and keeping up the tone. Then
take Kidney.Wort, for this is just what it
does, for it is both diuretic and cathartic.

The Ice Harvest.

The prospect for reaping an abun-
dsnt harvest of ice in this section OF
the country is anything but flattering.
The drmeanor of the ice men of this
city in not very iovial, as they cannot
dream of tho rich compensation they
would receive from we'll filled ice
houses. The meagre quantity of ice
which has been obtained hereabouts is
merely that which the farmers cut, and
that will hardly supply their need.
Messrs. Conrow 4 Son have obtain
ed no ice from their park, and have to
rely upon the Eastern ice to supply
the wants Of their customers. Walton
& Bro. are now dependent upon the ice
received from the Kennebec river of
Maine, and this article is becoming
very scarce upon that river. The ef-
feet which is rendered at night and in
the morning towards causing the ice to
bs had is counteracted by the warmth
of the sun at noon and thereafter.
This bAokwardness in the formation of
ice, causes the omission of the pleas ure
which can be obtained by skating.

Church Fairs.

The Morality of "church fairs" was
beautifully illustrated in Philadelphia
on last Sunday. Two downtown clu bs
had quarrel growing out OF contest at
church tair for set of furniture. Last
week the two crowds had fight
on South street, in which several were
badly hurt. Each party then select.
ed their "best man" to settle the dis
pute in the prize ring. and they had
fought "thres rounds" in the solution
Of this pious problem of ownership on
the Lords day, when they were dis
covered by the police, and one of the
pugilists arrested after a mlla chase.
The QUESTION as to which club won the
furniture at the fair is still unsettled,
and it may be necessary in the end to
refer it to sin it, or some such pr!ous
judicature.

A APAsTOK's RECEPTION.
Rov. George r.. TX ramer's Welcome
Home.

The welcome which the Rev. Geo. r
Kramer received last evening by his
congregation upon his return home
frsm Boston, Was a fattering proof that
he is regarded with feelings of the most
profound love and esteem by his friends.
Early In the evening, previous to the
hour for the church service, a large
number Of the members of the House
hold Of Faith met at the residence of a
fellow member and then in Q body pro-
oeeded to the home of the reverend gen.
tleman on French street beyond Eighth.
The line was almost square in length,
Mr.. K. first became apprised of the pre-
sence of his visitors by hearing the vast
assemblage singing "Welcome Home,"
in front Of his residence. The return
ed one then came to the door and ex-
claimed "How do you do" He then
bade them enter and heartily shook
the hand of each person as they enter
ed the domicile. After greetings had
been exchanged, Mr.. James Wyatt ap-
preached Mr.. K. and said "Bro. Kra-
mer, it is with the most pleasant feel
ings that we welcome you back iuto our
midst once more. During your ab-
sencs our hearts have constantly heen
filed with love for you, and that love
has not degenerated one iota as our as
sembling here this evening will at
test" He then presented him with
cake of immense size, which was su-
perbly bsautifed with ornaments Of
icing, and contained the following in
scription lettered in icing; "Geo. R.
Kramer, Welcome Home"
In response Mr.. X. said: He apprecia-
ted this welcome, that it tasted sweet.
His love for his congregation had not
deteriorated and that he would esteem
them highly in the future" The visit
tors assembled in rank and then con-
Quoted their pastor to the church,
where a hymn of welsoms was render
ed. He chose as his text the latter
clause of the seventh verse of the fourth
chapter of second Timothy: ~ have
kept the faith" His remarks were
valuable while his delivery was elo-
quent, and resulted ia the manifesto
tions of three persons desiring to be
saved.

How worked al hmyrnn

Speaking oflast Saturdays risistra-
ton of voters the Smyrna " Times
says: The Supervisors appointed for
this hundred, John M. VOshell and
Samuel S. Griffin, entered on their
work on Saturday, meeting with the
Assessor James Doughten to supervise
the list and place thereon the names Of
persons properly applying. The busi-
ness went along very harmoniously.
All those applying to 60 on the assess
rnent list either had or procured salts
factory endorsement as to their identi-
ty and no one, we believe, was turned
away. The names added to the list
numbered As, the most of whom were
colored men. There are still others to
go on, but they will have to go before
the March term of the Levy Court to do
SO. Whether they will fare 30 well be-
fore that body, is a question; the "Del-
awarean" intimates not. Here there
was not the least particle of friction,
aud if the law is observed elsewhere
throughout the State with the same
fidelity, there need be no cause Of com.

L.C. r. writes in Scientific "Ameri-
Icap," July 18th, 1879, | have often
||b.en puzzled to know the origin Of the
names used to designate the different
sizss of nails, s penny, 10 penny, etc,
and have never heard any answer that
seemed satisfactory. The statement
that the numbers are based on the
humber of pounds iu weight of thou
sand nails Of each sizs, would If proved
correct in the matter Of weight still not
satisfy the penny. The Editor makes
answer, We have no doubt the term
penny means found in this connection,
al d thatnails we're originally made so
that 4 penny nails weighed a pounds
per thousand, 10 penny 10 pounds per
Thousand, and so on.
J.C. R. in same paper of the date Of
August 9th, 1879, page 81, writes: |
have to differ from your answer to l..
C. r. in issue of July 18th. remem-
ber that As years ago nails were made
by hand and sold by count, and not by
the pouud-fourpenny at pence for
100, sixpsnny at 6 pence for 100, and
so on through the different numbers,
the term penny or pence was the retail
prc4 for 100. notice the penny is
pretty generally dropped now and the
simple numbers substituted as 6's, SIS,
lO's, ETC., instead. The question was
asked your correspondent few days
ago, "wby the name penny was added
to the different kind of nails" and
after asking several persons whom !
|slpposed knew, they being in the bu-
ness, and not getting an answer asked
one of our old cltizeh5, formerly con-
tractor and builder. who said about SOL
years ago there was on the banks of
Red Clay Creek some six miles from
this city, an old Englishman, known as
"N.ddy the Mailer, "who used to make
nails in bis shop there and sold them
SO much per hundred nails, and that

selves.
The McCabs Senate gave their first
grand reception in Webster's Dancing
Academy, Masonic Hall, last evening,
and those who had the good fortune TO
be present will long remember it as one
Of the most sociable and enjoyable en-
tertainments given this season. The
number of tickets were limited, and, as
consequence, the gathering was q
very select and orderly one. The man
agement deserve credit for the excel
lent manner in which everything was
arranged, for fastidious indeed must
have bsen the person who could not
find something to satisfy his fancies.
About 1915 o'clock, the signal for the
grand promenade was given, and 81
couple of well dressed ladies and gentle
men filed into the large ballroom,
led by Grand Conductor, j Jacob A. Null,
accompanied by Miss Annie Bartlett of
Easton, Md, followed by Floor Director,
Charles L. Story and lady, and his as
sistants, VIM. O'Connor, Jr., and Miss
Kate Hagan, A. B. Wittenberg and
Miss Mary Nelson, then the Reception
Committee, WIN. O'Connor, Sr.. and
wife and John C. McCabe and lady.
The march was one of the prettiest
and most intricate ever led in the
Academy, and the manner in which its
difficult evolutions were executed elici-
ted the admiration of all present. After
the march sets we're formed, and from
the time that Fright and left" was
called in the first quairille until four
o'clock this morning the courteous
hosts and their happy guests trirped
the light fantastic. There were two
intermissions during the evening at
each OF which an abundance of refresh
ments of superior quality were served.
Prof. Ritchie's orchestra furnished the
music, and each lady participant in tbs
grand promenade, received the compli-
ments of the Senate in the shape of
handsome and unique programme. AL
together the S4nate's "frst" was par
excellence in every particular.

what N. n. smIthsrs. ESQ. suys

N. B. Saithers, Esq, was in Smyrna
one day last week in conference it is
said with come party friends in refer
ence to this years elections. The
"Tlmes' states that Mr.. Smithsrs, on
being requested, stated the points he
had given Mr.. Higgins why the Law to
appoint Supervisors was applicable to
Delaware, and which was the basis of
the argument before Judge Bradford.
The appointment of Super visions he
said was simply to aid men in the exer-
else OF the ballot which, by neglect or
intent, had been denied them. He said
the Republican party had failed to put
a ticket in the field at the last election
because SO many voters had been left
off the assessment list, but that in the
future they meant to contest the field
without wavering until success should
be attained, as it would be sooner or
later.

The sale Of seats for 'Kiralfy Bros.
grand spectacular play Of Enchantmeni
commenced at Thomas x Co.'S. book store
yesterday morning and already the
sale is very large, and judging from
the steady run will be at premium
on Saturday night. The Philadelphia
"Times" says the following:
"Ths scenery is Of the grandest and
most artistic character, the dressing oi
the characters is wonderfully rich and
in excellent taste and harmony, and
the general stage management is re-
laarkably efficient. The eye is dazzled
from first to last by shifting and inter
blending combinations of rich color, and
the attention is taken up from begin.
ming to end by new scenes of beauty
1t is rare that such rich and gorgeous
color Is seen on the stage without jar
in its harmony, but in this spectacle a
master hand has evidently been felt,
and the whole effect would please the
most fastidious and exacting artist
The use of colored lights is lavishly em-
ployed to heighten the effect of the COS
tunes, and at times the view of the
stage is positively bewildering. The
ballet dancing is on an equality with
the other features Of the entertainment,
and is full of new and attractive fig
ures. Miles Cornalba, Capelini, Ortori
and Casali showed themselves masters
of their profession, and their graceful
and bold posturing called forth raptur-
ous applause and many demands for
repetition. The piece is also full of
pleasant and strange conceits, one of
the finest being in the scenes describing
the land of the ephemerals, where peo-
pie are born, grow old and die in day.
The growth of the children and trees
and the decay Of animals and houses
we're very cleverly managed. The
scene when the Plain of
is changed by magic to the
Vsnice, the Corridors of
Babillion, The Sacrifice of Angeline,
and the Palace of Encbantment are all
works which express the utmost limit
yet attained by scenic effect and no de-
can do them justice.
Remember you can secure your seat
Without extra chsFgs and to avoid the
,rowd at the doors we would advise all
% secure their seats at once.
