we know Of no other section that pre-
SCENTS to the beholder's eyes more
varied change Of picturesque scenery,
than among the hills just north of town.
Spring with its balmy breezcS and warm
sunshine has dislluscd new life, as 1t
were, into the living. Shrubbery has
donnrd its summertime garb, the
numerous orchards are laden gorgeously
with blossoms of the most delicate hucs,
and flowers that bespanglc the rolling
landscape not only cnchants, but throws
out on the gentle breeze, natures richest
scented odors. All this, with the warb-
ling songs of birds. maketh it like unto
the garden of Eden, and especially does
this appear so to the loye-sick swain and
happy maid who seek the secluded drive
ways among the towering hills and fer
tile dalcs, where solitudc-so precious to
them, is unbroken, except occasionally by
the ripping waters of the creek, that
wcnds its way hither and thither to a
wider and smoother bed. Not alone de-
lightiul and charming for lovers, but for
all who love to rcvcl amid the beauties OF
naturc-thc handiwork of the great
Creator
In month, another Commence
mcnts exercises will be upon Us. How
rapidly has time passed, and in its flight
weeks and months have glided by in
rapid succession until now-nearly the
close of the Collegiate year of 50.
Whilst it is true We look forward 10 the
closing exercises Of our College with
great pleasure, yet there remaincth Il
feeling of rcgretfulnes, as we remember
how each closing term takes from our
midst those whose society has always
proved so pleasant. This year will take
away young ladies and gentlemen.
Though several of the graduates will not,
perhaps, leave our town, yet the major
ity of the number will Immediately take
their departure. We have no doubt but
what the farewell words between them
and their friends, are hard to utter. The
larger part of the class, we suppose, will,
upon leaving College, enter into the bus
iuess walks of life. We extend the class
sincere well-wishes for successful careers,
and trust that all may attain to the
honors that they are so 2ealously look
ing forward to, and in their individual
pursuits, prove blessing to their
country and do the institution from
whence they so soon shall graduate
honor.

Mistaken.

Delaware College is in one of its peri
odical muddcs The president and the
faculty have resigned, and unless very
wise counscs prevail the institution will
again 90 to pieces-Cecl County Ne"S.
We never knew before that Delaware
College had periodical muddles." The
institution is now in healthier condi-
ton than it has been for a number of
years. The State has, at last, given the
institution some help, and the attend
ancc of students are steadily increasing.
There has been considerable said about
the College, which was only "catch-up,'
and made news for some papers. Della
ware College is to-day financially better
fixed than ever before.

MESsRs. EDTrORs.-An article in your
peoples Column" of last week, signed
"Citizen," seems to want to place at my
door the cause of the non opening of
Choatc Street Had the people of the
town of Newark have acted in good
faith with me, it could have long since
been opened. To open it, it would have
gone entirely and only through my land.
| told them time and again that, if they
would run the street down to the Pome-
roy Railroad and then follow that line to
Chapel street, that would not impose
an objection, but they would only allow
it to come to the end of the cemetery,
and thence straight to Chapel street.
This would have cut up my land with
out benetiting me one cent. This was
to be done for the public good, and then,
the award that was to be made by them
to me for my land, was not one fourth
the value that it was to me for trucking
purposes yet they thought they could
get it just as they wanted it, in spite of
any thing / could do to prevent. They
now know the result. have never yet
put an obstacle in the way of improve
ments of the town, only when the object
wanted, was to be made for the public
good at my individual expense. The
citizens of our town are always liberal in
public improvements, when they can be
made at my, or some other persons
expense, and without expense to them
selves. They would like to have taken
all my property ON which to build the

and great benefit to the town. 1t is

bunch of blue hair growing in the center
of his forehead. | have heard of him,
but never yet seen the individual. Bar
mum has also heard of him, and would
like to have him on exhibition as great

Too Many in a Bed,

Very recently funny and indeed
most singular thing happened in this
town. In IA certain house two men were
sleeping in bed. OF course there is
nothing singular about this. But the
funny part comes later. One Of the
slccpcrs was awakened by hearing II
strange noise about his head, and ut the
same time feeling something moving
about his shoulders. We can't say what
his feelings were but we imagine Il cold
chill shook his frame With one deter
mined effort he sought the cause of what
he had heard and felt, and 10 ! he ,liscov-
cred eat and two new kittens enjoying
the liberty of the couch. The second
sleeper was awakened, and together they
enjoyed hearty laugh nj the picture
pussy and her family made in the bed,
After the laugh had subsidized they con
cludcd that there were too many in the
bed" and carefully transferred the fclincs
to snug corner Creeping back into
bed were soon dreaming of their strange
and novel adventure.

The Republican nomination for can

political walk-oyer, beating his opponent
Hardy about four to one. Unlike

has won the nomination so easily it is
evident to the minds of thinking ones
that his election is IN almost forc-gone

Our city is bles.ed-wc'll say so any
how-with five daily and four weekly
newspapers. Among the number of
wecklcs is German journal, fairly

often shows much enterprise in the way
Of issuing extra advertising sheets. The

Rtpq5iymt The 1imes is the only
straight-out Democratic sheet in our city
although the Eccry Ey@acog leans heavily
enough IN that direction to get a big
share Of the plumb of public patronage.
Come 10 think Of it the S'ar sheds Il
grac.ous light 10 illuminate the pathway
Of the Democracy, and She generally gets
enough out Of the party to pay for the
