The Delauare College RerielO is quite

are glad to be informed that things

sign and finish There will be a grand
organ recital and concert in the church

The directors of the State Fair have
been halting between two opinions,
namely, whether it would be wisest to
invest the surplus means of the fair in
new and more extensive buildings or
whether the money ought to be devid-
ed among the stockholders in dividends.
But we believe that the best friends of
the association outside of its Organiza
tion will advise the plan of investment
in new buildings, and to which they
will probably add the increase of the
amounts or the extension of the pre-
miums.

It was only two or three weeks agC
