The GREAT INCREASE OF DIVORCES
The great increase of divorces, especially
in the Eastern and Western States, has
grown to such enormous figures in the past
few years as to arouse feeling of alarm for
the sanctity of the family relations. We
can better show the difference between the
marital relations in Delaware and New
England by comparison of figures. Most
all the divorces in Delaware are effected by
the Legislature, which meets once in two
years, and the number of separations at the
last session was, we think, twenty-four.
This, we think. was a considerably larger
number than at the previous session and
we can safely put the number of divorces
in our State as not exceeding ten or dozen
a year. We will put in comparison the
smallest New England State, Rhode Island,
which last year alone granted 261 divorces.
In four of the New England States,
where 100 divorces were granted in 1850,
there were 1, 100 in 1870 and l ,439 in 1878.
The percentage Of divorces to marriages in
Ohio was in 26 in 1885 and in II in 1881.
Two ofthe most populous counties of Min
nesota have increased their divorces 30 per
cent. faster than the marriages during this
last ten years. In Philadelphia thera
were 101 divorces in 1862. 2l5 in 1872 and
All in 1882. Chicago's percentage of di
yorces to marriages is not as high as gen
orally supposed, it being in 10 in 1882

The time of tree planting is near at
hand. 1t is but n short time now until
the trees are denuded of their leaves
and the season between that and freez-
ing weather is the time to set out young
trees. Fall planting is much the best
in several particulars, chief Of which is
there is usually more time then than in
the hurry of the Spring work, and,
trees planted now get the dirt more thor
oughly compacted about the roots by
the Winter rains and are thus better
prepared to perform their functions
when the first warm growing days
come. "A crying neglect of the country
is that 1t permits Spring and Autumn
to succeed each other indefinitely
without the planting of a single tree to
mark the seasons suspicious passage.

UNDER the head of " A Moral Revival in
the South" one Of onr leading city papers
makes the following comments:
"It would appear from various an
nouncements made in the South that some
thing like a great moral revival is sweeping
over that section Among other indica-
tions of this is temperance wave, which is
rolling on as grandly as the old Washing
tonian and Father Matthew movements,
which once made such an impression on
the North. Our readers are already fam
iliar with the radical character of the high
license law in Missouri and the enthusiastic
manner in which the Democratic county,
city, town aud village authorities are en-
forcing it, and applying the revenue. gath.
cred from the saloons to the building OF
jails and asylums, and the construction OF
roads and bridges. As we go further
South the temperance movement is even
more radical. 50 This looks like
business If the authorities can keep down
the sale of liquors and break up the sale of
obscene publications, they will take step
forward in the work of moral reform that
might we'll be initiated in many Northern

given to the saloon business, but to the

Peach transportation and Sales
to Western Buyers the Past
SOAROM.

The fruit season this year has been
exceptional and we may say, phenom-
email. The crop marketed was fully
one-half less than last year while the
size and quality was much larger and
better and the weather such that the
fruit generally was firm and stood
long transportation remarkably well.
For the first time in many years the
peach growers had no cause to com
plain of the railroad facilities and the
prompt arrival of the trains to the var
iOus markets where it was sent for sale.
Hitherto much cause for complaint on
the part of growers seemed to exist,
owing to delays in the arrival of trains
on time for early morning market,
high freight charges, wrecks of cars
while in transition and consequent loss
of the fruit or the vexatiOus delay in
returning the empty baskets to them,
but the past season no such causes for
complaint seemed to exist and growers
have been we'll satisfied with the gen
eral result. Many growers found it
decidedly TO their interest to sell their
fruit at the stations delivered in the
cars, to buyers from Pittsburg, Cleve-
lStuus 1OlOOO3 Nl1OlDllclll anu OlllCl
Western cities, where it was wanted
and where the crop proved a failure.
At Middletown the growers in that
locality generally disposed of their
| fruit in that manner and state they
never were better satisfied with the
prices they got and that mode of dis
posing of it. An agent was selected to
sell the fruit, he receiving a commission
for his services, with full authority and
discretion to obtain the best prices fol
the fruit which was sold on its merits
or according to quality and condition
so that each grower got the full value
of his fruit and not as is frequently
done in New York, averaged up, the
choice fruit of careful and pains
taking grower realizing him no better
net returns than the inferior fruit of hi
neighbor. AS the agent stated, =" it wa
about as good a fruit exchange as the,
wanted" The fruit was paid for whel
put in the cars and all further risks
such as delays in transportation, condi
ton of the weather and market price
were taken by the buyers. The mum

Taylor's Machine Shop.

The improvements at the shops of
Geo. w. & S. Taylor are about COM
pleted and partly put in use this week.
The new foundry at the extreme rear
of their grounds is 35 by 10 feet. The
new cupOla, which is blown by a fan
making over 5000 revolutions an hour,
and through an underground pipe, a
distance of eighty feet is capable of
melting three tons of iron an hour.
The old foundry room, reconstructed
for the purpose, is hereafter to be the
engine room. The boiler, a 40-hOrse
tubular, is in place and the engine is
being likewise adjusted to its position.
1t has all been constructed by them
selves except the cylinder. The bed,
heavy mass of iron, weighing 400 lbs,
was cast in q city foundry because of
its extreme weight, but the pattern was
made in their shops. One part of this
will be set apart and known as the
polishing ROOM" to which the grind
stones and emory wheels will be re-
moved. The work on the New De-
parture " cultivator will be commenced
in earnest for the winter campaign, as
orders are already coming in for next

OratoriO of Esther.

Prof. Wyatt who has visited several
of our towns during the past season in
the presentation of the beautiful musical
composition and panorama of spectacu-
lar scenes as they occur in the Oratorio
of Queen Esther, will favor our citizens
with this entertainment, in the space of
three or four weeks. This oratorio has
been a success wherever given and our
people will doubtless find equal delight
in it. The persOnelIe is made up from
our own citizens, young ladies and
young gentlemen with a talent and
voice for music, who are themselves
benefited while they enjoy the pleas
urable incidents the rehearsals afford
in breaking the usual monotony of life
in a country town. The first rehearsal
held on Friday evening last, was
well attended and the singers were
complimented at it's close with the re-
mark of the Professor that they had
accomplished more and with greater
ease in their first lesson than in any
other town in the State. The singers
to represent the different characters
were selected last night.
