the First Presbyterian Church of this
town. The whole day until evening
was taken up by the members of the
Society (all ladies' for the discussion of
important matters relative to the mis-
sionary work which they are so ably and
effective conducting. Though the day
was far from being pleasant, yet many
delegates were in attendance from dis
lance. Among the speakers at the bust
ness meeting were Mrs. McCauley of
Chester. Mrs. A. n. Keigwn of Will
mington, and Mrs. Roberts, of New York.
Idaho Territory was represented by Miss
Van Wormer. Mrs. Malone, wife of the
pastor of the church in the town, was

South for ten years, during which period
great deal of cholera prevailed.
For some time, persons coming to or
passing through this town, have been
complaining of very unpleasant odor
which arises from the refuse of the cider
mill. The pumice should be hauled
out in some field, and not allowed to lie
in the very heart of the town, and create
sickening and disagreeable odor, not
only to the annoyance of the residents,
but to all having business in our town.
They should be moved.
A man in this town traded watches
with fellow citizen, and thought he
had cheated him, but when he found out
that he was badly cheated himself, he
was anxious to trade back.

The fair is over for another year.
There are some who wish that the whole
concern would burst, hut the majority
want the fair every year. The total pro-

are not expected, we are unable to say.
Petty thievery is carried on here to
some extent. People are looking for

The debating fever has strnck this
town, and struck hard, too. A lyceum
and debating society was formed this
week. The meeting place is at the Acad'

Temperanoe in Delaware.

DUTY before pleasure" is an old say
ing worthy of acceptation by all as
model. Oftimes though | am aware it
has to be great sacrifice with us in order
to come up to this standard and obey the
voice of conscience, when the mind is
fixed and determed upon certain object
or plan. Whilst it was with me great
sacrifice to remain at home during the
session of the Grand Lodge of the State
of Delaware of |. o. of Good Templars, |
deem it inconsistent to complain as the
little word DUTY gained the victory over
strong determination, fright expecta-
tons and eager desires Though, not
present, yet | was made acquainted with
the proceedings, in measure, by Bro
Mohorter, one of our delegates. The ac-
counts given are glorious. Would that
space were sufficient to dwell with less
brevity, than shall now do. The annual
session was opened by &. w. c. T., Prof.
Wesley Webb in the chair, on Wednes,
day morning, Oct. 2lst, in Odd Fellows
building at Dover, Del. Much important
business was transacted. Resolutions and
motions were made of business charac'
ter, whereby the Grand Order and all the
Subordinates may be brought to realize
that an immense good has been accom-
plished for them and the temperance
cause throughout the entire State. The
Grand Officers elected for ensuing tern
are as follows: C.. T., Frank Wheeler
Counselor, ]. Harry Mohorter; V. T., NJ

will prove worthy of the honors bestow

they perform the work assigned. Bro
Wheeler, the head officer, is in every way
competent to fill his chair with accept
ance, and ability. Being whole-souleC
Temperate worker he will no doub

he shall do the order he represents. Thi

Attempted Robbery.

On monday night robber undertook
to enter the dwelling house of Mr.. Rank
in Armstrong one of the leading mer-
chants of this town. Late in the night
or rather early in the morning Harry
Anderson, clerk in Mr.. Armstrong;
store who sleeps at the dwelling house,
heard noise on the kitchen porch roof
and suspecting at once that it was some
one trying to enter the house, hastily
secured revolver, and went up stairs to
where he could have good view of the
roof. Sure enough there was man
who was making toward the window.
Harry Immediately cooked the revolver,
and pointing it at the creeping figure,
pulled the trigger, but the cartridge fail
ed to go off. The would-be robber made
raple flight A shot was fired at the
retreating figure, but without apparent
effect. We are glad to know that this
midnight thief or assassin was was met
the point of IL revolver, and we are sorry
very sorry that the pistol did not 20 of
as we have been informed that if the
cartridge had exploded, there would
have been u dead man or one seriously
wounded in this town this week. Thi,
wodld have been II lesson to petty thiev-
cry that has been going on over the
country for several years. We are moi
anxious to see some one shot, but if q
man climbs upon roof, with the inten
ton of taking away with him what his
hapds fall on, we think that said man is
placing his body in great jeopardy, and
may be properated with pistol balls. l
one robber is shot there will be no more
robberies in this town.

That's Thompson approaching; it is,

And poverty stricken he looks, declare;
A picture, indeed, of the shabby genteel,
With clothing threadbare and shoes

say;
I'll turn up this street and keep out of
his way.

We think we give a man great
praise when we say he is man of
very regular habits, but there is no
man in the community whose hab-
its are more regular than the toper's.
The chimes have not finished their
eleven o'clock tune before he begins
the admixture of that mysterious
connection known as the cocktail"
and he is as punctual in the even
ing in his attendance at the bar as
the Christian is at his prayers. You
always know where to find him at
a given time, and you can safely
venture to set your watch by his
call for a drink. No, there are cases
in which extreme irregularity APP
proaches virtue.
