4 NuYEL CONTEST.
Twenty-seven citizens OF Detroit Eat
Ing Pie for Prizes.

Ing Pie for Prizes.
Post and Tribans.
A large and considerably excited crowd
Of probably 5000 people blocked Wood
ward avenue in front of Mabley's store,
last evening, to see the prize pie eaters In
his show window tackle 27O pies. A large
squad OF police WAS required to keep
order. The entries for the novel contest
were ~ in number, and they comprised a
motley set OF men, both white and black.
The signal for the feast to begin was
given At 7 O'Clock, when the group
pitched In, each grssping q pie, and eat
Ing like mad. The first pie went down
very easily all around, and bets were
made on the contest. None OF the pie
eaters hesitAted At the second round, but
when the third pie WAS reached two Of
the contestants, whose capacity was not
equal to the fulfllmsnt Of their desires,
Weakened and dropped out of the race.
When the third pies were down the men
began to lose their appetites and the con-
test assumed serious proportions. Sew
ersl foundered before they were able to
master the fourth pie. The darkeys
worked their jaws Increasingly like clock
work, and the pile Of pies before them
disappeared with regularity and dis
patch. Only three of the original az
who entered showed up at the fifth round,
and two of these showed marked weari-
ness from deglutition. The other man
had the air of one who felt confident in
his ability to stow away all the piea
Mabley could bring on. He got away
with number five, but before tacklinp
the sixth he took of his vest and unbut.

Wilmington, Thursday, Dec. q. 1883.
Tne Grangers' work.

From summary, given in the Milford
CAronicle, of the topics considered at the
recent session OF the Delaware State
Grange, 1t would appear that the farmers
have laid out goodly store OF work for
the coming year. Some of this proposed
work has been reported before, bat tie
whole will bear reviewing briefly.
Taking up fist the subject of legisls-
ton, We learn that a committee was az
pointed, of which William Dean is chair
man, 10 report to the next annual meeting
Of the State Grange bill creating an
agricultural commission in this State.
Another committee was named to draft a
bill for the suppression OF weeds and
noxious insects. II the grsngers will
only make this latter bill applicable to
mosquitoes it ought to 80 through the
Legislature with rush and hurrah.
Masters OF subordinate oranges we're
requested to write personal letters to our
representatives in both houses OF Con.
gress, urging the creation Of a cabinet
officer Tor the department of agriculture
Subordinate oranges were urged to discuss
the patent laws IN their weekly meetings,
TO devise methods OF keeping their men,
bers always supplied with interesting
work, to discuss representation and
taxation, education and political economy,
&c.
COMMITTEE was appointed to consult
with the stockholders Of the Delaware
State Far Association, with view to
getting up fair that svery farmer would
pstronize. Viewed in the light shed by
the worthy masters annual message, this
locks to the abatement of the horse
facing feature, which has unqusstionably
oIiven the agricultural features in to the
background. But, as the races are the
loadsione which draws three fourths o.
the visitors,i it not easy to Sue how they car
DO made to take the second place. Theo
retically an agricultural fair should be {
very different thing from what it is, but
athe sad truth is that theoretical fail
wouli he terrible drain upon the pockets
of the stockholders.
Stats .ical reports of crops, &c., for tn,
use OF members will be inaugurated dur
ing the coming year, and the adoption O.
agricultural text books for the common
schools will be brought to the attention o
the State Board of Education and th,
superintendent OF schools.
The committee on fruit exchange re-
ported progress and hopeful outlook
aud that there is now an opportunity TO
the exchange to materially benefit tn
Gamers of the State. There ia an apath,
at present manifested in this direction
however, among those who might reason
ably be expected to take active interes
in the matter here, which ia hard I
understand. Perhaps, like congressman
they are waiting for the holidays to pas
before getting down to hard work i any
thing. ~.

Captain Joshua Slooum, the inhuman
master Of the ship Northern Light, the
detailed story Of whose cruelty towards q
sailor named Slater was almost sickeni ng
in its barbarity, was convicted on Sat,lr-
day by the Jury which tried him. 1t
will be recalled that Slater, who WAS
charged by Captain Slooum with in
subordination, was confined for weeks in
filthy wooden cage, 3 by feet, besides
being beaten, i'll fed and half clad.
When the vessel reached New York,
Slater had become physical wreck and
his mind was giving way. The penalty
for Slocum's offense is $1,000 fine or i'm
prisonment, or both, in the discretion ol
the court and il is to be hoped that the
court will have discretion enough to gi We
him both as soon as the pending motion
for new trial has been disposed of.
