The shipment of strawberries by the
! Delaware Division of the p, w. & b.
Railroad since the season commenced,
have been the largest ever known,
averaging about five trains daily of |
| twenty to thirty cars each. The ber-
ries are sent chiefly to Philadelphia, |
New York and Boston and the daily |
receipts or earnings to the railroad |
companies interested in their transpOr-
tati0n approximate about $4,000. 1t |
is doubtful if any railroad in this cOun-
try can show such enormous traffic |
in fruit alone and so large daily earn
ings.

, CHILDREN's DAY.-Sunday last, was,
according to the plan or custom of the
I, church, duly observed as Children's
: Day, and perhaps there was more life
a and spirit given the dOings of the day
! in the fact that the weather was so
+ delightfully."- pleasant, in striking con-
trast with the very hot days proceeding.
The church wasnOt so elabOrately deco
i rated as usual. While there seemed
V to be an abundance of boquets and a
# large stand of choice pot flowers, there
- was not the the artistic display we are
}. accustomed to seeing on such occasions.
o This, however, is largely explained in
n the fact that the arrangement of the
d flowers as made and left on Saturday
er night was very much changed and very
II hurriedly rearranged on Sunday morn
% ing in order that the black aboard might
be used in the morning sermon. A'
le per arrangement the Rev. w. c. John
le son, Of the Philadelphia Conference
O. conducted both the morning and even
ing service. The sermon in the morn
y, ing he especially addressed to the chill
OF dren. 1t was based upon the parable
IS, of the builder upon the rock and upol
ul the sand, and by the use of the blacl
OF board was made very clear, interestin!
rs. and instructive. In the afternoon
rs, special programme was substituted 70
Sc the regular sunday school service
til the exercises being held in the auditor
es ium of the church, the school occupying
OF the front seats. The opening choru
ry under the direction of Chorister Groves
ng Miss Jennie Smithers at the organ
RS accompanied by Harry jefferson, col
ng netist, was well rendered. Paul JeffeI
're son made the opening address in h
usual pleasing manner. Mr.. l.. Irwin
-. Handy, Principal of our Public Schools
I Lo was very attentively listened to
io some excellent remarks upon the supe
-, ~ iority of moral to mental education
"" Mr.. Herman Roe also entertained IL
x audience in a sprightly address urgir
S the children to have a purpose in lif
~, One of the decided pleasures of Il
~ afternoon was the listening to IL
ol4 om4 reading of very appropriate selection
"c by Misses NJ. G. Bell and Bet. SmitheT
Va Va The exercises were interspersed vii
~ songs of both the main and infal
, no schools, the latter being under Il
W" direction of Miss Elva Carrow, Mi
ny Kate Douglass at the organ. II
