"A small tent was pitched on the lot
Just across from Deer Park Hotel one
day last week but it did not stand long.
The heavy wind struck it, and down it
went. 1t was raised again, but the at
tenance was extremely small, 50 the
proprietor moved to other quarters this
week. 1t was dog show.
Tho weather is getting in prime CON
dition for excursions. During the sum-
mer every one should go on at least one
excursion and take day of pleasure out
of 365. On Wednesday, June "a, Seminole
Lodge No. Il, X. of F., of Elkton, will
leave that town for Colchester Beach.
Leave Elkton at II. m. Returning leave

Considerable complaint has been
made by those who have been attending
the exercises in the College Oratory this
last evening or so, of the loud talking
and unnecessary noise just outside of
the door. On one occasion, and as it often
is, those sitting near the door are thus
deprived of an evenings enjoyment. This
should not be. Let there be change
made.
1t is rumored that Rev. Jahu De Witt
Miller, of Philadelphia, Pa, will take
part in the services in the NJ. L. Church
tomorrow morning. This gentleman is
Il very eloquent speaker upon any and
all subjects. His lecture in the College
Oratory some time ago, was pronounced
good" Go out, and if rumor proves
correct, you'll be glad you were there.
Would it not be creditable act on
the part of some of our Weather citi-
zens to offer several commendable prizes
to the children of the public schools
here. The teachers, we understand, have
offered several prizes, and the children
will make contest for same on Friday
evening next. Show the children that
your appreciate their efforts to acquire
an education.
The crop of the seventeen-year-old
locusts is very large. On strolling through
the woods, we counted over one hun
bred shells on Il tree, but coming across
an old apple tree, there must have been
over one thousand cast off suits of the
cicadas, and the ground under the tree
was like pepper box. They are fat and
healthy looking, and their humming
noise can be heard wherever you go.
We have not dined off the cicadas yet.
This is the delightful time of the
year to rest in the cool shade of the
friendly trees. Recline for few minutes
on the cool grass, and allow the ants, spi-
ders, and thousand other crawling
things to gallop up and down your back,
or race around your collar. Delightful
to be in the country and enjoy this, and
even more. Go and gather the flowers
that grow in profusion, and the first
thing you know you will clasp bee or
a wasp by the business end, and you will
imagine that your hand has been struck
by lightning or paralyzed.
