plNSo' VIZ WITCH NiSllluR the EIeCLfl-
cal Exhibition at Philadelphia, not to
wear their watches. They may be
magnetized and ruined.
SUNDAY was the occasion of the
Yearly Meeting at the BrynziOn Bap-
tist Church (Old School), near KentOn.
The attendance, from several causes,
was not so large as usual, though the
house was pretty well filed. Elder
! RlttenhOuse, the pastor. was assisted
by Elder j. NJ. POulson, of Virginia.
THE moon of the past week, which
was enjoyed by so many in its mellow
light from clear sky, and which filled
Oh Friday, was what is called the Har-
vest Moon. 1t results from the moon
being full in the sign which makes the
smallest angle with the ecliptic. There
can be but two full moons in the wear
which rise with so little variation of
time.
A NUMBER of persons visited the
vineyard Of James w. Anthony, last
week, to see his Niagara grapes, among
them Charles Black, the prominent
nurseryman, of HightstOwn, n. J. Mr..
Black expressed surprise at the fine
| clusters on the vines of the different
varieties, and acknowledged that Del
aware was ahead of New Jersey in
fruit culture.
The special excursion train on the
Delaware road, yesterday, to the Phi
ladelphia exhibitions, owing to the
heat, or something, was not Il success.
The train reached Clayton with five
cars and only about twenty-five pas
sengers. Perhaps the people want to
go on day that suits them the best.
like they do on the other branch of
the P, w. & B road.
JOHN p. COLLINS lost IL valuable OK
last week, from the unusual cause of
stone in the bladder The calculus get
ting into the channel, thus forming an
absolute obstruction, caused the blad-
der to burst, and the dissemination
through its body of about twenty gal
Ions of water. 1t was about three
weeks from the time it was taken until
death ended its suffering.
Miss LUCY A. REDDEN, OfMarvIaud.
who had been visiting George A. Dea-
kyne, of ThOrOughfare Neck, was seri-
ously injured while dismOunting from
carriage, in this town, on Monday.
Her dress caught in some way and she
was thrown heavily against the curb.
cutting her head severely. Her iniu-
ries were dressed at the drug store of
DIR. Cloak, and she proceeded on her
journey.
IT has now been a month since we
have had any rainfall, more than a
sprinkle, and the effect on vegetation.
coupled with the hot temperature and
cloudless sky, is telling seriously. The
quantity of blade-fodder will, in conse-
quence, be greatly reduced, and the
pasture fields are turning brown. For
tunately, the corn, except the very late
paintings, was mature beyond serious
injury,
JAMES w. ANTHONY received a pos-
tai card, last week, from II. w. Hut
ton, Rockville, Canada Ia former citi-
zen Of this town, saying that baskets |
OF peaches which came from his Or
chard, were selling there at $3.50 and |
$40 per basket. The opinion of Mr.. |
IL. was that some one was on "tbe |
make" at Mr.. A s expense. but be |
says he has received nearly these f0- |
ures in New York for some of his fruit
THE belated summer has been grow
ing hotter and hotter, for the Dast two
weeks, until yesterday it reached the
height OF 96o. To this exalted temper-
ature is to be added the reflection from
the parched earth, and for week past
the weather has been almost une1du-
rable, The sickening heat would he
more bearabe If there were such a
thing as breeze, but, day nor night
there has hardly been enough to turn
u leaf. 'N-'
In this peach season, when there is
so much frieghting of fruit, and sncb
good returns for the same. it seems
strange there IS not a strong promDtino
of those directly Interested
IN JGe cleaning out of the creek and
mus bringing steamboat navigation to
smyrna Landing. The arguments have
Deeh presented time and again, and
they are known and acknowIedoed
out Tor some reason there is a besitancv
In action. What is wanted is n iittio
more spontaniety.
