Mr.. Gronewold stated to US that he
came back to show the people that
his business transactions had been
perfectly straight, and on the square,
yet he realized that in the position
that he was placed, things were against
him. But he can show that his skirts
are clean of any wrong transactions,

Mr.. EDITOR.
noticed in the last issue of the
FARMER, that Miss F. M, of England
Prairie, had made Ill words out of
the letters contained in "Carpenter"
I had little to occupy my attention at
the time, and so accepted your chal.
lenge, "Who can beat it!". The ex-
pertinent resulted in my making ITS
words out of the letters contained
therein. Maybe a ride in the salt air,
which is now stirring briskly, will
help to increase even that number.

Our "Friend' kinnie being very
much Offended by the item that we had
in our issue of June %, has given
vent to his feelings by making slushy
reply through the columns of the
Blxfton Enterprise, and owing to the
insignifiicance of both author and pa

upon it than that it is better to be
half-ripe than to be rotten.
Judging from the smiling coun.
tenances of a couple of lovers, as they
walked hand-in-hand UP Third street,
Tuesday, and from the enjoyment
that they seemed to take while talk

on the corner of Third and King

erection of a splendid building on the

be a handsome building when COM

FIRST catch your sin: "Scheider, what
must you do, before everything else, to
have your sins forgiven ?" Commit the
sins"
The above is a sample of the moral senti-
ment pervading the minds of large num-
Der of people at this day, which as rule
governing their actions. amounts to con-
trolling maxim. They do nothing to ask
forgiveness for, and consequently have no
contrition for sin. The Examinations of the
pulpit and the declarations of the divine
law are equally of non effect; they were in
tended for somebody else. What claims
have such things on them? The man who
prOclaims from the pulpit like John the
Baptist, Make your paths straight" is re-
garded not for his message but for the lit
erary finish he clothes it with. Can such
people be sensitive to the commitment of a
moral wrong when they practically disa-
vow the commitment of sin? And yet
such is the state of society. The night may
be spent in revelry, the sick, infrm and
weary may be disturbed and distressed in
their inquietude, the man of business may
count his gains and adjust his merchandise
on Sunday and the day for which the proc
lamatiOn was made, "thou shalt keep il
holy" may be passed in beastly slumbers
or abandoned to everything but that
which harmonizes with the spirit of the
day, they say instead of asking for forgive
ness, l" first commit the SIM

The following was handed us after
the printing of the article under the
head of The Line of Episcopal Bish-
ops" on our first page, to which it
properly belongs:
Bishop Lee, of Delaware, officiated
Sunday, as the representative of the
senior bishop of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, at the conservation of the
Rev. Alfred NJ. Randolph as assistant
bishop of Virginia. The services took
place at Emanuel Church, Baltimore.
The services began with procession.
formed by the vestry of the Church,
the newly elected Bishop, the attend
ing prelates and the clergymen present
at the conservation. An able and elo-
quent discourse appropriate to the oc-
casion was delivered by Bishop Perry,
at the conclusion of which Rev. DR..
Randolph stood up in front of the con-
gregation and listened to the words of
advice and encouragement that were
directed particularly to him. He then
advanced to the sanctuary, where
Bishop Lee was seated and was present
ed for conservation by Bishops Peterkin
and Dudley. The customary formulas
were pronounced, and the robes of the
EpiscOpacy were placed on DR.. Ran
dOlph by Rev. William NJ. Dane, OF
Baltimore. The master of ceremonies
was Rev. John H. Elliott, of George
town, d. c. The music was simple and
was sung by the regular choir, with the
assistance of several members of the
Baltimore Oratorio Society.

Star Lodge, l. o. o. F. They have
worked enthusiastically to give the
project "a local habitation and
name they have gathered a sum of
money with this purpose in view, re-
spectacle nest egg; they will raise
more, and they would doubtless be
willing to put tower on their building
if the town or other parties, or both,
would consent to provide q clock.
They certainly are entitled to q voice
i'll the matter, and they do not wish to
turn their fund over to any party for
the purpose of building a retired or Sec
tional clock. The Odd Fellows Hall
is more central than any other avail
able building. Its tower would be in
plain view the whole length of Main
street, both ways, and from the "four
corners" the business center of the
town, also from many other parts of
the town. In short, no one can fail to
observe that this position is the most
desirable of any that have been men
toned. This is written. not in the in
terest of the Odd Fellows alone, but
with view to the good of the town.
OF course a clock would be erected at
the expense of the people or otherwise
and it is but just to place it where it
will do the most good. 1t should be
like the city on the hill, where it cannot
be hid. **

SUPERINTENDENT of Public Schools I.
N. Williams and Assistant II. c. Carpen-
ter, are doing good work, no doubt, for
our schools by the public meetings which
they are holding in different parts of the
State. AT present they are operating in
the upper part of New Castle county and
invoking the aid of others who are able to
address the people Interestingly to aid
them in arOusing more decided interest
among the parents on the subject of educa-
ton. These meetings are gratifyingly well
attended. 1t was perhaps with view to
more effective work of the kind that Su-
perintendent Williams has moved his head
quarters from Dover to Wilmington and
Mr.. Carpenter has changed his from Lewe3
to Dover.

UNDER the head of "All has been for
given" an exchange tells as follows how
the advice of crusty and rich business
man was turned to practical account:
Boston social circles have been agitated
and not little amused, by recent event.
A young gentleman moving in good
society, but whose bank account is by no
means plethoric, sought out wealthy cit
izen about month ago, and told him he
wanted to speak to him on very impor-
tant affair. Cresus said to his visitor:
60 am busy just now, and must request
you to be brief What is it-business?
1.-THE young gentleman, thoroughly en-
barassed by the brusqueness of the other,
could only stammer, Very important bus
mess
Well said Cresus, "let me give you
this advice: Don't put it off till to-mor-
row if you can do it to-day That has
been the theory on which l have made my
success in life
The young gentleman stammered his
thanks, departed, and that very day went
before a magistrate with the daughter of
CrHsus, and married her then and there.
When the old gentleman found it out he
for the first time began to doubt the univer-
sal application of his theory. However. it
is understood that all has been forgiven"

Der of our young people took an inspec-

Everything in the far West is of
mammoth proportions and the men
who go from here seem to partake of
the character of their surroundings.
By some alchemy which we do not un-
derstand in the East hundreds swell
into thousands and the amount of de-
velopment is parallelled always by the
opportunity. The latter seems always
at the command of those who are seek
ing it. The names of the parties in the
following item from the Denver Trib-
une, interested in the formation of u
new stock company are all known to
our readers, and will illustrate what
we mean:
1.-THE Mesa Park Land and Cattle
Company filed articles of incorporatiom
with the Secretary of State yesterday.
The operations of the company are to
be carried on in Mesa and Arapahoe
counties; capital stock fixed at $50, 900,
divided into 500 shares, and Frederick
n. Williams, Andrew p. Smithers,

Oyer the bridge to Dover.

AS we said last Winter, the lengthen-
ing of the Dover road at Shakespeare
mill pond by making an acute angle at
that point, is soon to be verified. The
Commissioners appointed by an act of
the Legislature last Winter, to lay out
a new road from the northern terminus
of State street across Shakespeare mill
pond, to a point in the State road lead
ing to Smyrna, where the same is inter
sected by the Leipsic road, have made
their final report. They laid out the
new road sixty feet in width, and fixed
the embankment and bridge across the
pond the same width. The length of
the bridge was fixed at thirty feet, and
as the pond is about 740 feet in width
at this point, the embankment will be-
over 700 feet long. The damages to
owners of lands were assessed at two
hundred and fifty dollars. No estimate
was made of the cost of erecting the
bridge or making the embellishments.
The Levy Court will be called upon at
its February session to decide whether
it will accept the road and order it
opened or not.

For the Smyrna Times.

Mr.. EDIToR-Dear Sir.-Allow me
me space in your valuable issue 1.-THE
Tines, to express my views in regard
to the late improvements in New
Castle county. am not q resident of
said county nor have 1 any reasons to
complain, but by q vast number of New
Castle cOuntians l have heard it said
that the improvements, viz: bridges
might have been made cost much less
and the people taxed much less by
putting the right thing in the right
place. Namely-in my travels l came
in contact with handsome bridge s
feet wide, Is feet span. l was in
search of Salem Church, but when
laid my eyes upon this structure l was
dumbfounded, but after little recon
citation 1 found myself Alright; it was
Paw Paw stream, near Prices Corner.
Well, look at that bridge, but turn
away from viewing the ditch and you
might return home very much i'm
pressed with the idea that this was a
grand improvement.
The cost of said bridge, Is feet span
and feet wide, is $500. Without ex-
ageration n inch tile would run off
all the water that ever accumulates
there, and to lay aside all the contrac-
tor himself claimed that an foot span
would have been sufficient, but he had
no interest in forbidding or contradict
ing the orders of New Castle Levy
Courtmen, nor would it have been to
his interest to have done so. The
building of this bridge over Paw Paw
ditch compares favorably with putting
the Tower Clock upon the Town Hall,
in a place where it would never be
needed and at the expense of the
public. FINS.

The meeting of the State Temperance

CHAs. A. CLEAVER, in Raymond's
Neck, husked, last week, 81 bushels of
corn from II shocks. The shocks are
in size what are known as "8 by 81
containing GA hills. This was grown
on "white oak" land, very uncertain
for corn when not properly titled, and
if any upland field has better yield
we are ready for the report. Mr..
Cleaver has so acres in wheat which is
growing finely and casting bright en-
erald shade over the extended acres.
o. S. REMLEY, between Underwood's
Corner and the Maryland line, has a
brickmaker that moulds 5000 bricks
for days work, and can do the same
in seven hours; he challenges any other
maker in the County to beat it, Mr..
Remley has burnt one kiln this Summer
and sold them, and his fast maker says
he only wants twenty good days to
mould kiln of 100000 bricks. Mr..
Remley has had to put in another clay
mill to accommodate his fast moulder.
THE clerks in the stores of SMYRNA
are trying to induce their employers to
close up at eight o'clock, excepting
Saturdays. If the merchants in the
several towns would consent to close
their stores Saturday nights by half
past ten, instead of Keeping them open
till midnight, there is no doubt but
that there would be less brawling and
racket on the streets after orderly peo-
pie have retired. The gangs which in

THE base ball match that was to
come off to-day between the Seaford
nine and the Smyrna nine has been
called off by the Seaford boys, only five
of them cOnsenting to come. 1t is
further stated that two Dover men in
terested in the game came to this town
and tried to buy off Simmons, the
pitcher, which, not being able to do,
caused the other club to back water.
MIR. Simmons came to this place several
months ago Il stranger, but this act in
not yielding to temptation stamps him
as a young man Of character, which
never fails to win respect whenever
and wherever manifested.
