1900 Reward.

The officers of the Farmers Mutual
Fire Insurance company Of Mill Creek
Hundred, offer reward OF S5oo ,or the
arrest and conviction of tho person or
persons who set fire to the barn OF
Ed ward Woodward of Christiana Hd.,
on the 2nd inst, provided that 1T was
wilfully and malciously done. From
this proviso it seems that there ia sus-
picion that the ignition and consequent
destruction were the result OF accident.
Such may be the fact as it seems slngu-
lar that one would set fire to u building
in broad day light, but yet many think
that it was a case of incendiarism. If
the latter impression is the correct Cne
we hone that the scoundre. or sCoundres
implicated may be arrested and dealt
with according to the law. There can
be no doubt that the barn OF Aaron
X. Woodward was set on fire by some
heartless scoundrel, but II was insured
in one of our Wilmington Companies
and thus far we have heard OF no move
toward offering a reward for the arrest
and conviction OF the incendlary. The
Company and the State should otter
reward, as it is far more important that
incendiaries should be arrested and
given wholesome lesson than the per-
petrators of ordinary crimes should be
made to suffer for their misconduct.
The incendiary and assassin stand on
the same level, they are equally to be
feared, and should be alike punished.

Curious Atmospheric Effect In
New EnglRRd.

A special despatch from Boston says:
on tuesday morning up to sunset the
atmosphere has been in most curious
condition, exciting much comment,
and in some instances creating great
alarm. While the air, as viewed from
window or looking up into the sky,
has appeare to be free from fog or mist,
the sun has been totally obscured. The
atmosphere is pervaded with a yellow
ish liz hit, which lends a strange appear
ance, its livid green looking as though
the result of a coat of paint. Gas jets,
which ordinarily show a yellowish
light, burn with "a white brilliancy
and lnakesth them resemble electrici ilights.
In al! directions distances appeared to
b., shortened. THE phenomenon was no
ticeable in New Hampshire: and G. f.
Emerson, Professor of Natural Philoso-
ply and Astronomy at Dartmouth Col
lege, says it must be caused by some-
thing in the atmosphere which absorbs
the shorter and longer wave lengths,
leaving only those which give the color
of yellow and green. He thinks it
may be owing to the pollen from hr
and pine trees, together with smoke
from forest fires III Canada

BOYS who are Outlaws.

The despredatou of the boys upon
the farmers are becoming very annoy
ing and aggrevdting it is believed un-
der the impression by the boys that the
farmers are completely under COW, fear
full cf something to follow. A few days
ago a little army OF boys went out to
Mrs. Eobinson's farm Chrstiana Hun
dred rendered byGeorgs w. Nandegrift
and entered the orchard and d!videc
into two gangs and commenced fighting
shower battle with the good winter
apples pulled from the trees. Mr.. Van
degrift demonstrated but was given to
know by one party that if he didn't
"shut up" he would be bombarded
with an avalacche of apples, and by
the other party hat he would receive IL
salute of powder and shot. Under the
circumstances the boys had their own
way.

d. w. BLISS,

wHATeENERAL GRANT THINKS
His views On the Sltuot10n-NO
need Of Haste iu tho Premises.

CHICAGO, Sept. 7.-General Grant, in
an interview with an Inter Ocean re-
porter yesterday, said, that after attend
ing the soldiers reunion at Bloomington,
H., he would return East as fast AZ the
cars would carry him, starting on Fri
day. Concerning the Mexican Rail
way, he said all the surveys were COM
ple,ed, but the documents were not yet
in New York, though they might be on
their way tlitner. The roads and branch.
es would be 900 miles long. He was
greatly interested in seeing Mexico
built up by American capital and en-
terprise, as it is now being SO built up.
In the near future Mexico will be a
very interesting place to visit. He ad-
heres 10 his previously expressed opin.
ion that the United States did not want
to annex Mexico and was better OFT
wi. hout that country.
Being interrogatel regarding the re.
mocal of President Garfield, General
Grant said he considered it an absolute
necessity, because the President de-
sired it, and because of the unhealthy
character of Washington i'll the fall.
As to his recovery, be had not such
strong hopes Is he would like to have,
but if he recovered, it would be because
of his removal. He had 10 doubt tina
condition OF affairs existed to-day
which required the Vice President to
act as President, but neither the Con-
stitution nor the United States Statutes
provided how disability should be de-
clar.d, and it would be wholly inappro-
pirate for the Vice President, una ,ked,
to make Il move toward assuming the
duties of the Presidential chair. If any
thing was done, the physicians should
certify to the Cabinet that they consid.
cred the President unable to perform
the duties required of him. Then tie
Cabinet might consider this certificate
and forward it to the Vice President,
requesting him to act as President dur
ing Gartield's disability. There WAS
nothing legal about this, but General
Grant said he could see NO other way
for accomplishing the end. However,
he said, there is Ho present necessity
The Government can get along well
enough until Congress meets.
Regarding New York politics he said
that matter did not trouble him mncl
Just now. The campaign could mo-
be successfully conducted without the
aid Of Mr.. Conkling.

A Mad Dog Around.

A few days since, while a party Of
men were sitting in the saloon attached
to Hartmann & Fehrepbach's brewery,
a terrier dog supposed to be mad, ran IN
and bit one OF them on the leg. The dog
then ran on through into the yard,
toward some men who were enjoying
their beer. They saw him coming, and
not having any particular business with
him, left. The dog confined on through
the yard, where it was shot by the fore
man OF the brewery. The man that
was bit was from Philadelphia, and
was one of a party of four that had como
down to spend the day. DR.. Negen-
