The young gentlemen Of the armory OF
the First Regiment Delaware National
Guards, have decided to give an Excursion
to Mauch Chunk on the 17th:of September.
As is well known the middle of Septem-
Der is the most delightful season of the
entire year to take in and fully enjoy noun.
tain scenery.
AS that date the Autumnal tinge is SO
variegated that the noun tain side presents
a scene of indescribable beauty: and at
Mauch Chunk these is so much to engage
the attention that one never tires of the
charms there presented.
1t is the universal opinion of those
who have visited Mauch Chunk that the
ride over the Switch Back is fully worth
the fare charged for the entire trip.
The Armory is represented by the most
worthy young gentlemen of this city, and
it will be pleasure for our people to en-
courage them in their efforts to secure a
building suitable for Armory purposes.
The tickets, including Glen Onoke, will
be sold for three dollars,

TIE CURE STONE MARKET.

The judiciousness Of the new market ordin-
ance extending truckers rights to Ninth
street is conceded on all hands Everybody
appears perfectly satisfied, truckers and
butchers, buyers and sellers all say the
present arrangement suits well. Indeed
some of the butchers would be quite willing
that the street right were extended to
Brandywine Bridge. If this would increase
trade, aud there is little question as to that
fact, additional privilege should be grant
ed by Council.
The new law is of the greatest benefit to
truckers. There is none of that unseemly
squabbling for good position. Each
market trucker saves from one to two
hundred year, through the fact of his
having an assured position-and his expenses
are only four or five dollars. There is no
doubt that the citizens advantage greatly
through the ability of the trucker to come
regularly to market to the same stand. A
regular business with regular set of
customers is more nearly assured, followed
by more reliable regularity of trade.
The recent rains, short of duration as
they were, have been of great advantage to
green produce. The general complaint in
the market seems to be that the moisture
has not penetrated more than six inches
but the farmers and truckers are chronic
grumblers and their words are listened tc
with quiet forbearance. The rains have
helped berries, and cucumbers. The
truckers say that Jersey melons are doing
we'll. In berries, Notwithstanding the con
tinued drouth there is a full supply fol
any demand on King street, and no com
plant of scarcity. The most remarkable
advance is in lemons which sell at 80 to A
cents dozen. Berries have not been i'm
fluenced by the lack of rain, and sell readily
for Ito s cents wholesale, and Sto 10 cents
retail. Tomatoes from rs cents to $t.OO !
basket have come down to go cents. AT
this date last year canteloupes were worth
$t.00 now they sell at 70 to so cents pei

How TO IL cen Cool.

Don't work as hard as usual during the
middle of the day if it can be escaped.
Don't eat as much as usual 1t is not
necessary, aud little fasting in hot weather
always pays.
Don't drink extremely cold ice water 1t is
always better to eat the ice or let it melt in
the mouth.
Don't have any fires going in the house
unless absolutely necessary. Use cold food
and do without hot drinks.
Don't wear your cloths tight. 1t impedes
the already depressed circulation and is a
great source of discomfort.
DON'T eat any meat or butter, if you can
do without them. They are heating and
anyone is better without them this wealth
er.
Don't fail at meals to give preference to
fruits and acids which are more agreeable
now to the stomach than anything else that
can be offered.
Don'tneglect any chance to get out of
the city to the country or seaside even for
half day. Such an excursion will often
bridge a person over an entire heated
term.
Don't walk any faster than is necessary.
Strain point and ride as much as possible,
as every street car fare such weather as this
is a great saving of physical wear and
tear.
Don't drink any strong stmulants as the
simplest and plainest beverages, such as
lemonade, milk or iced coffee, do more fer
the tired energies at such time than the
best brandy.
Don't worry and fret. Try and put off
the unpleasant things with which you have
to deal until cooler weather, and make up
your mind not to get mad at anything dur
ing July or August
Don't neglect your feet Battle them
night and morning, pay more attention than
usual to corns and wear the oldest and
roomiest shoes you have. No one can keep
cool with tight shoes on their feet.
Don't miss any opportunity that is offered
to bathe or 60 in the water, If nothing
else can be done dip the hands in basin
of water and rub them all over the person
on arising and before retiring.
Don't wear a stifT hat Compromise on
something light or soft-straw, if possible
and ventilated above to let out the hot
air. Frequent shampooing and wetting
the top of the head is one effective means of
keeping cool.

A Fatal Letter.

A young lady was engaged to wealthy
young manufacturer. The day was set for
the marriage, the guests @ele invited. But
a few days before the day appointed for the
wedding the prospective bride learned that
the firm to which her her betrothed belonged
was insolvent. She Immediately wrote him
letter breaking the engagement and bid
ding him farewell.
1t was sent off in great haste, as there
was no more than time to stop the prepara-
tion for the wedding. Two hours after it
had been posted she learned that the rumor
of the firms insolvency was false. Accom-
panied by her parents she hastened to the
post Office to demand the ruturn of her
letter. The postmaster palitely declined
to give it up
The young lady insisted, but the postmas-
ter remained firm. The parents began to
argue the case. 1t was useless. They
became excited, their daughter became
hysterical, and there was a scene.
But appeals, entreaties, tears, wrnging
of hands and throats Of fainting were all
in vain; the polite postmaster had but one
answer The rule admitted of no exception,
and the letter was already, in the eyes of
the law, the property of the young man.
1t was sent, and saved him from the great
misfortune of marrying IA mercenary wife.
More than one tale has been written, found
ed on incident of letter being lost or
or intercepted. Perhaps it would be well
by way of variety, for some rising author
to found his next story upon letter that
was delivered against the sober second
thought of the writer.

A fire occurred ON Saturday night

which was in the rear of store Oh

building belonged to Mrs Hammer,
near by, which also burnt Mr..
Rothchiids had taken an .{evening
stroll with his wife who wanted to
make an evening call. After leaving
his wife, he, as reported by himself
and family, went to the Woodbine
for the purpose of taking game Of
cards, which was his usual Sun
day evening custom. Mrs. Hammer
accuses him of firing the building.
Rothschilds daughter says she called
on Mrs. Hammer and notified her
Mrs. H.) that they { the Eothchilds)
were going to vacate the house and
wanted balance due them on act. :;
that Mrs H. said she would have to
renew the policy of insurance on
April 3nd, and could not spare the
money. On the other hand, the
Hammers say the Rothchilds burnt
the bulldog to get the insurance OF
stock, and so so far as to have Roths-
