Old Coins.

When we brought an old coin to light
two weeks ago that was the price of a
barter for muskrat skins, we didn't
think that it was going to unearth
enough to form a decent museum in

Collins, Mr.. Hyatt and DR.. Cloak, now
comes, as narrated by a correspondent

a correspondent under date of the

KentOn is once more alive on the
graded school question, and like most
all good causes it gains strength by
agitation. 1t is in the shape this time,
of petition, by the people to the
Legislature to give them the lawful
right to raise by taxation a sum, not
exceeding sixteen hundred dollars
Isl ,600l, to build Il suitable house in
KentOn and grade the school. There
was kindred movement in the fall.
though it was hampered by side issues
and factional jealOusies, consequently
many voted against it who were really
in favor of a graded school and are
now found among its warmest adher-
ents, for the question now stands alone
with no side issues.

IT looks very much as if the Ozark
Continent was to take the lead in
nrohibitiOn, At the International
Conference which is now being held at
Berlin to fix the conditions in trade in
the new Congo State, the American
delegate made the proposal to include
the trade in Intoxicating liquors with
the prohibition in the trade in slaves,
which it is stated was unanimously
agreed to by the committee, and II
their report shall be agreed to by this
conference of nations, it will be indeed
a most striking proof of advance of
European sentiment on great moral
questions. Rum has been the bane Of
civilization in heather as well as in
christian countries, because shippers
found it a great source of profit. Even
if the Conference should finally decide
not to prohibit the sale of alcohol in
the great Congo basin, the very strong
sentiment in this direction among the
delegates shows that the nations of
Europe are at last being aroused to the
direful effects of intoxicating liquors
upon the moral and financial cOndi-
ton of the people.

The Lafe GnIe.

The gale of wind that struck us last
Friday night, first with a warm South
ernly wind, on Saturday changing to
the northwest and cooler, originated in
Texas and was in the most central part
OF its track through the West one of
the worst storms for some years. 1t
formed in Southern Texas on Wednes-
day, and moved slowly at first, but let
ting down in Arkansas and contiguous
States an immense rainfall, flooding the
rivers and lOwlands. A cold wave
from the Northwest overlook it by the
time it had fairly gotten out of the
Southern States, and it became Il fur
lOus, driving snow storm, and by Fri
day night the railroads from Chicago,
East and West, were badly blocked
with snow banks, and trains eight and
ten hours behind time. The wind
blew at rate of from so to 20 miles
an hour. The cold also became intense.
the thermometer falling at 10' and 2O'
below zero, and one place more ambi-
tiOus than the rest, Miles CITY. Mon
tana, reported it down to 5Oo below zero.
This section of the country received
only the outer edge of the storm. a

the rivers were all full and rising. The

and the cold was accompanied by
fierce sleet and wind storm.
The damage caused by both in
Northern Ohio was large. Fruit or
ornamental trees suffered severely on
every side, and all the railway lines
are blocked. Some are being cleared
and others abandoned until the snap is
over. From detailed reports so far, it
looks as if the storm has cost Northern
Ohio several millions of dollars"
The loss of cattle and sheep on the
plains is thought to be very heavy.

THE people have borne the imposi-
tion of State tax to pay the debt in
Cured during the war with a great
deal of patience for the past twenty
years, bnt as the principal has been
nearly liquidated, they do not see why
the burden should be further laid on
them, and at special meeting of the
Board OF Trade of Wilmington, held
there last week the question was free
ly discussed by a number of gentlemen
who were of the opinion that manufac-
turers and dealers should be exempt
from taxation, and Mr.. Bradford made
a motion That the Legislature be
asked to abolish tax on manufacturers
and dealers, and substitute system of
license" This was adopted with the
further motion to appoint committee
to confer with the Legislature and the
chairman appointed James Bradford,

THE DeIaUare PrOhibitiOnist dissents
from Governor Stockley's views that a
"wise and judiciOus license system is
the remedy for the record of poverty,
wretchedness and crime " caused by the
liquor traffic, and asks the question,
"Does not Governor Stockley know
that the license system has been on
trial for a hundred years; does he
know when it proved wise and judi
cious?" 1t goes on to say:
"But now will Governor StOckley
tell us when wise and judiciOus
license system was enacted ? In
what year of the world? By what
State, nation or people was such a
great achievement accomplished q?
Surely if this thing was ever done it
can be shown. Mr.. Stockley comedies
that the license system is only valua-
BILE as its restrictions are rigid, and en-
forcable. But the palpable violation of
common sense in the system, is the
utter incOngruity of license and re-
striction, in thing that let loose can
not be held or restricted. 1t is like a
mad man, you can in safety to society,
restrain him only. To license il mad man
is to expose society to peril. The rum
trade is worse than a mad man let
loose, it is legion of devils. License
them, and then protect society against
them by mild restriction, is Governor
StOckley's remedy"

Fashionable Wedding.
FIsHER-HOUGH.

An unusually large audience assem-
bled at the NJ E. Church, on Wednes-
day evening last to witness the we'd
ding nuptials of Clayton w. Fisher and
Miss Florence II. Hough, the latter of
this town, daughter of the late Rev.
John HOugh, and the former IA son of
VIM. Fisher, of Dover. Among the
guests were number from Dover. who
with those from this town and other
places together with the beautiful floral
decorations made an unusually bril-
liant scene. About the middle of the
church in the central aisle was n rustic
gate composed of evergreen and orna-
mented with Gala lilies, over which
was an arch of evergreen and flowers.
with large floral horse shoe, while at
the altar was another arch, pendant
from which was bell of evergreen
and flowers, under which the bride and
groom stood during the ceremony.
Inside the altar was large collection
of beautiful and fragrant pot flowers,
while sprigs of evergreen decorated
the gas brackets. Shortly after 7
o'clock the bridal party entered the
church, Miss Elva CarrOw playing the
wedding march, the ushers, Geo. w.
Baggs, Esq, of Baltimore, Md; w.
o. HOilecker, of this town; John
CarrOw, Dover, and Olin /. Hough.
of EastOn, Md, preceding the bride
and grOOm-elect. Rev. J. B. Quigg
was in waiting at the altar and as the
bridal party took their places the vast
audience arose, manifesting in respect
full but interested silence the solemnitv
of the rite amid the gaity usually atten-
dant upon such occasions. The full
service of the Liturgy of the Church
was used, including the ring, and occu-
pied ten minutes in performing the GER
emony. After the congratulations of
the officiating minister and DIR. Cald-
well who had u seat in the chancel, the
bridal party and friends left the church
for the cars which were soon to start
for Dover, where a fine reception was
given at the house of the father of the
groom, after which the bride and groom
retired to their new home on Bradford
street which was ready furnished to
receive them.
The bride was attractively dressed in

THE Legislature made some advance
ment last week in the way of business,
but there has been very little further
to do. Divorce applications thus far
take the lead. The standing commit
tees have been appointed and the hon
orable body is fully equipped for work
if the people will send it along. Inter-
ested parties who have measures in
contemplation should present them
without delay; otherwise, the session
must be unnecessarily prolonged at a
considerable cost to the State. The
two most important measures before
them are the adoption of the represen-
tative and judiciary amendments
which are carried over from the last
session for completion. As party
measures the members of the Legisla-
ture are committed to them though
there is considerable opposition to
them both, the strongest to the iudic-
iary amendment coming from the pres
ent court.

The ceremony of the admission of
Mr.. Huntington, by Assistant Bishop
Potter, of New York, to the "Older of
the Holy Cross" which made stir
among the clergy of the Episcopal
Church at the time, acquires fresh in
terest from the publication of CORE
spondence as given out in SATURDAYS
issue of the Churchmaa, in which
Bishop Potter avows his willingness to
submit his action to the fathers and
and brethren in the episcopates.
Bishop Lee writes with the utmost
respect and affection, but with plain
ness and candOr,' of the astonish-
ment and distress Occasioned by Bishop
Potter's unexampled act, after reuuir-
ing OF him Mr.. Huntingdon the we'll
known ROmish mOnastic vows
In regard to the ceremony and its
bad influence on the church at large
Bishop Lee writes: "In that service
not only the whole mOnastic system
was sanctioned by you, in your Official
character, but attributed to Divine in
splratiOn, the solemn language of our
Ordinal being adopted. This system is
no untrled experiment 1t has been
on trial for hundreds Of years, and
with whatever Of sincerity and zeal
started under different forms the fruits
have been evil and perniciOus. 1t was
utterly repudiated by the Church of
England at the Reformation. and has
been since rejected with loathlng bv
several Roman Catholic churches.
" SacerdOtal celibacy has a history of
shame, suffering and sin traced in in
dehble characters. The corrupt morals
OF the priesthood where Romanism is
III the ascendant is a notorious fact and
trlghtful comments on the attempt to
override Gods laws, and set up a purer
standard than Holy Scripture. No at
tempt, however spacious, to introduce
the system in our church can fail to
awaken earnest and indignant cOndem-
nation
The letter goes on to entreat Bishop
Potter not to repeat the act. wishing
that 1T might be undOne, and closes
In Christian love, your own friend
and your fathers friend"
In his reply Bishop Potter regrets
that he should have occasioned his
friend alarm and distress. The cere-
mony did not commend itself wholly to
his taste or judgment, but the facts did
not warrant the inference that it inn

BY provision of the law passed in
March 1881, concerning the cattle dis
ease, the owners Of all cattle killed
with the disease, pleuro-pneumonia.
can recover twO.thirds Of the value of
said stock from the State. As this dis
ease is mostly introduced bv the
owners themselves in purchasing drove
cattle, there is question in the minds
OF some persons whether the rest of
the citizens of the State should indi-
rectly pay for this loss any more than
for loss by any other disease, and the
law ana Governor Stockley's proclaim
alton are being questioned in this re-
gard. The farmer whose poultry ward
Is swept by chicken cholera, or the
other, whose stables are emptied bv
the blind staggers, would feel verv
comfortable if the State would nav
two-thirds of their loss. In the case of
the cattle, the State orders the killing
to prevent the disease spreading. and
1t is this interference of the State that
makes the people responsible for the
loss.
