RAIN-The drought for our particular
locality was brought to a sudden termina
ton Just before six o'clock on Saturday
evening by fifteen minutes heavy dash
of rain. The cloud was a small and cratic
one, striking off from the Delaware river
in Southwesterly direction across Their
oughfare Neck, this town, KentOn and
thence to Maryland. The extreme limit
did not cover a space but of about twelve
miles and the heaviest fall some five or
six, but in the latter it is very rarely that
so much water falls in so short Il time,
Judging from the way our streets were
flooded. For time hail stones fell quite
freely the size of marbles but did no dam
age. In the town the wind was no greater
than in usual gusts, but in line little to
the north of us in a very small belt it
partook of the force of limited cyclone.
At John p. Hudsons his barracks were
prOstrated, a new tenant house moved
from it's foundations and his peach orchard
badly twisted and broken. More or less
damage was done on this line of its track
until the storm reach some four miles
west of Kenton where it developed into a
heavy hail storm that for mile or more
was very destructive.

ALEXANDER G. CUMMINs' phosphate
works at the "Brick Store Landing" on
the Creek some two miles below Roth
wells Landing is assuming quite dignified
proportions. The manufacturers was COM
menced about two years ago i'll the large
barn that belongs to the farm under the
management of A. SiscO. The result of
the season was a prompting OF Mr.. Cum
minis to go into the manufacture Ill more
business like way and he forthwith cree
ted factory with the necessary works,
and 15 horse power engine was placed
in it for driving power. The past winter
or spring he flanked this building with
two sheds on either side 60 by 80 feet for
storage room. In addition he has recently
with the other improvements in machinery
obtained u new mixer capable of manipu-
lating 1900 lbs. of material ut one time.
Still, his superintendent, James Farrow,
says, they are hampered for both room
and power and Mr.. Cummins intends to
erect another building in front the pres
ent one and replace the present engine
with one of so horse power. The creek
at this point curves right into fast land
giving splended landing with nine feet
of water at high tide. The front, solidly
laid with heavy hewn logs (nOw under
going repairs) is 100 feet in length with
two wings, 80 feet each. The natural ad.
vantages of this place as a shipping point
are among the best on the creek.

A HAPPY FAMILY,-Garrett Wiley,
somewhat noted character, has been get
ting into trouble again. In consequence
of his drunken and improvident habits he
was elected from his home near Moorten
few months since, His son Francis,
living near Dipah's X Roads, in flial
duty gave him home with him. The
father apparently has been gradually as
serting authority over the son and his wife
which on Sunday was resisted to the ex-
tent of a free fight in which they were
all engaged, the old man in the end ''hold-
ing the fort" the son and his wife taking
safety in flight On Monday they made
complaint before Esquire Rqdd, who issued
a warrant for the arrest of the elder Will
ley. In the mean time the latter slipped
off to Kenton and made charge against
his son and wife for assault and battery,
Esquire Hawkins demanding a bail of
$3.50 each, which was furnished. This did
not satisfy the father and he Immediately
swore his life against his son and Esquire
Hawkins socked ON $500 again, or 81 900
in all. The son could not or did not pro-
pose to go ON furnishing bail ON this line
and went to Jail in default Eventually
Wiley the elder was come up with by
Constable Weldon, and in default of $500
bail to keep the peace, he too was taken
to Dover, and there together the two are
enjoying the comforts of a forced rest.
The son and his wife are represented as
peaceful and industrious until the old man
disturbed the happiness of their bower.

Too MUcH OF 4, GOoD THING,@rhc
colOred excursion which left here week
or so ago on the steamer ArtiSan for Cape
May is thus alluded to by the Kent Netcs,
Chestertown: "That Smyrna Band gave
our colored popuEation. an overdose of
music or, it may be; gave it prematu,'etyi
Anexcursion, in the interest of the Smyrna
coloied church, was 10 leave here on S,tt-
urday morning in order to awaken an iIi-.
terest, the band was sent down Friday
evening, and it went to work at once
marched and countermarched, footed and
pounded, until late in the night, keeping
everything in lively stir. But next
morning, when the whistle sounded the
excursion goers were all wrapt in slumber,
making up. for the time spent in the
carOusal of the previous evening. Only
tiCO were on hand of the hundreds that
we might have thought were going from
the amount of noise made. The eXcur-
sion, however, was abundantly successful,
nearly five hundred taking passage from
points up the road, and the steamer Arti-
san conveyed them safely to Cape May
and back. And now "a word about bands
is in place. They are good thing, of
course. But don't send any foreigners
/ here while we have the home institution,
and don't commence to run too far from
the jump or you'll give out before you

In view of the Presidents cbiidition
there continues to be much interesting dis
cussiohs as to the SUGGESTIONS tb the prcsi-
dencS in case of the Presidents death or
of his recognized and eohcedea ihabiiits
TO act as provided for and lhtehdedby the
constitution. Ii isslikeIy,if the exigency
should arise. that there win be q lengthy
discussion in Congress over this whole
subject, and much difference of opinion
may be expected to be developed, and not
improbably some considerable embarrass-
ment. So far as the question of inability
is concerned it seems to be the general
impression that no other authority short
of Congress can determine the point.
The most bitter Jew-hater among an
cient Christians would be satisfied with
the treatment which his enemy is receiv
ing just now throughout Europe. In
Southern Russia their houses have been
razed to the ground, the wretched inmates
flying to the swamps and woods for con-
cealment. The military sent out for their
protection fired upon the mob, killing and
manning the assaulters, but took care not
to do it until the mischief was done. In
Posen and Pomerania, where Hebrew
merchants, mOney-lenders and physicians
have managed to get all the trade and a
Benjamin's portion of the valuable proper
ty into their own hands, they have been
forced to leave all and fly for their lives.
The police are powerless against the infu-
rated mobs. The cause of this sudden
outbreak of antipathy to the Jews is still
professedly retaliation for the Cracf6xion
of Christ, but in fact is now, as, it was in
the sixteenth century, the rage of an un-
thrifty, impoverished class against their
wealthy, arrogant, successful rivals Not
God but Mammon is the basis of the feud
| General Hancock was happily right
when he doubted the correctness of the
report that General Carr and almost all o.
his command had been killed by the
Apaches The true story shows that the
loss of the troops probably does not exceed
a dozen men, Captain Hentig being thC
only officer named. 1t appears that thu
command, consisting of los men and si2
scouts, left Fort Apache, August 29th, tt
arrest the Apache medicine man" o
whom so much has been heard in thi
matter. The tribe were found at Cibicl
Creek, about forty-fve miles from For
Apache, encamped to the number of 60
and the arrest of the medicine man" wa
accomplished without difficulty. Thetrou
BILE did not begin until after the troop
had encamped some miles away, when tn
Indians began to gather about in susp
cious numbers. Some scouts, evidentl
hOstiles, came into the camp and wer
ordered to leave by Captain Hentig, where
{ upon one of them shot him dead. A thre
hours battle followed, the troops showin
great judgment as well as bravery. Seve
soldiers were killed and one wounded ma
: died the next day. During the nigf
there was a rapid retreat, the camp bein
, left standing to deceive the Indians, an
on the 31st the command reached Fo
o Apache in safety, which at last account
= they still held,

PASSING CoMPLttiENTs.--Th Morning
Ne,Vs, whose freedom in the Use of the
scissors and paste pot caused n retalatOry
slap at the country papers, is thus re-
sponded to by the Middletown Transcript: !:
" During the past two or three weeks the
exchange editor Of the Wilmington Morn
ing Ne,0s has shown symptoms of becom-
ing an exceedingly faeetious little cuss,
notwithstanding the depressing drought
under which almost every green thing in
the country is suffering. His recent refer
ence to the country editors of the PENN
sula and their concern over their locals
about somebody's tom cat that died OF
pneumonia down i'll Sleepy Hollow shows
that, though young i'll years, he fully ap,
preciates the colossal forty horsepower

YESTERDAY was observed as a day OF
PRAYER for the President, in Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Wisconsin, Vermont, North Carolina
and several other States. If Gov. Hoyt
had proposed it in time all the States
would doubtless have joined on that day.
As it is. some will observe tomorrow and
still others next Tuesday. Gov. Hall,
whose Proclamation appears in this issue
recommends the people of Delaware to
meet in prayer for the President on Tues
day next. To make it an occasion OF
heartfelt earnestness, all places of busi-
ness and traffic should be closed during
the time designated for the service Of

How HE LOST HIS SUPPER.-When
men fish for sport they themselves be,
come the subject of fun as we'll as the un4
suspecting .fnny tribe that sport around
in the deep waters and are diverted only
by. o tempting morsel that cruelty conceals
the sharp hook and its relentless barbs.
As before narrated in the exploits Of our
fishermen, the Pier at Woodland Reaohn
is fayerite resort, when they do not go
out In the Bay. One day last week they
were Joined by several men from the
Neckniwho, when q time like the pres
ent affords, delight in the pleasures of the
angle rod as much as our gentlemen of
greater leisure. Mr.. j., one of the party,
meant business and he spent 30 cts for
crabs for bait, The fish were, howeyer,
off In deeper water, on o fFolic, or the bait
offered was not tempting, for at the end of
the afternoon he had but o single speci-
men, instead of the heavy string Expected,
and that too, an eel. He never did care
much for eel but is especially fond OF
using his crab bait had caught q very ,Ane
one. Heee here" he says, fsUncle Bob, p
lets toss penny who shall have the
game" remembering his luck at "heads

small coin there He had q quarter, how.
ever, and forgetting for the nonee thst HI

instead Of planking down heads up" sliI
between the boards and disappear In th'

their luck !" he did no such thing. Butte
see his 80 cts. for bait gone, his quartz
ditto, and his coveted trout still on Uncl'
Bob's string, was too much for his feelings
he silently wound up his line, adiuste,
his hook and started for home without re
