Disparity OF Temperature.

At a meeting Of the Delaware County
Institute OF Science, on Friday last, the
cold wea her came under discussion.
joel Sharpless said the most singular
thing about it was the vast diversity
OF temperature within limited area.
While in Media the mercury fell to 10
to l5 degrees below zero, at Palmer's
dam on Riley creek it was 80 and "a
degrees below. At Mancill's mill, on
the Both ultimO, it was IA degrees be-
low gro, while at Palmer's a short dis
tarcs above, it was 2G degrees below.
Mr.. Sharpl-ss said that almost as great
disparity existed between his house
and that of Mr.. Darlington, on Chester
cr1ek' During the cold spell in 1873
he had noticed a similar Discrepancy.
Wuen at his house the mercury stood
at ten degrees below gro, At Mr.. Dar-

The AppOrtiOnmsnt Bill.

Congressman Springer has intro
duced an apportionment bill in th.
House for 293 members of Congress
based upon the census OF 1850. The
bill provides for grouping three and
five Congressional districts together and
for minority representation on the
cumulative system. Thus in q State
like Maryland, with six Congressional
districts, they would be divided into
two groups of three each. According to
the DILL voter can only vote for two,
which would insure the third for the
minority, whether it be Republican or
Democrat. This would secure two Re.
publican members from Maryland. The
same plan would insure two RepubIi.
can Congressman from South Carolina,
three from Georgia, three from Ala.
bana, three from Mississippi, three
from Kentucky and number from
other Southern States. On the other
hand the same plan would insure the
Democrats three in Iowa, three in Mich.
igan, one in Minnesota, two in Kansas
three in Massachusetts, one in Connec-
ticut, and one in Maine: From cur
lookout point the bill would favor the
Republicans, and therefore we doubt
Its passage.

the real causes not so serious. ! board
in the family Of miner who works in
the celebrated Brookside mine, Lykans
Valley and he may be presumed to have
some insight into the true cause
which is not a real but an artificial one.
The recent storms may have something
to do with the immediate transportation
but they have had nothing to do with
the supply at the mines, Nothing but
monopoly can interfere with the supply
TO sdca an extent as TO materially effect
the markets. There is an abundance
OF available coal in the mines which
hungry miners are anxious to bring out
but monopoly says, no." and the voice
of monopoly is heard above the voice
of hunger.
Your dealers will tell you that there
is no better coal in the market than is
mined in this valley, yet BroOkside
colliery has scarcely averaged half time
for more than & year, and at the prBs
ent time it is being operated three days
Of about eight hours each, per wees
and during that whole period, Two
weeks will more than cover the time
lost by all causes outside Gf monopoly.
Your Wilmington coosumers could ss-

are not the natural foundation stones

MARYDEL, Jan. 5. lo81.--Each OF
the Sunday Schools on Marydel Cir.
cult, gave a XMAS entertainment.
Two Of them were visited by Old Kriss.
CONNECTIONS were served 10 the entire
audience, the children receiving the
"lion's share" Many valuable presents
were also made. Three of the schools
had beautiful trees heavily laden, not
witAstanding the mercury was below
zero. The pastor and his family came
in for goodly share Of the presents,
amongst which we're three fine turkeys
and several articles of clothing.
The meeting at Thomas Chapel oD
Marydel Circuit was one CT great
power and promise until the severe
weather came on. Several conver
sions promise much to the society.
Tie Templeville NJ. K. meeting was
frOz-n 0at. The weather has been too
cold for man or beast to be out at
night.
Business at Templeville and Mary.
del has been surprisingly brisk tor
villages. Mr.. VIM. Perkins at the
former place does business on a large
scale, and with complete system. His
store alone keeps five adults constantly
Outy. All clergymen get at cost and
consequently they come from "far and
near" Even in sight Of Wilmington
he has cleric custom, who find that,
counting freight aud fare, goods can be
bought cheaper in Templsville, than
in your cityor in Philadelphia.
Messrs. George & McIivaine, and the
Green Brothers have dealt largely in
grain at the latter place. The latter
have also dealt largely in poultry.
Tens of thousands of bushels of corn
have been shipped from this place, but
it has been a losing game. The first
firm have lost heavily, it is said. They
remove to the city of Philadelphia
in the Spring. They will, however,
run their Marydel Phosphate Factory
and Drying House.
The Thermometer has marked over 90
