The Commissioner of Pensions has de-
cided adversely upon the application for
q pension of one DawsOn, of Company l,
West Virginia Cslvalry, who Joined the
Confe derate service while Union prisoner.
It is alleged that the enlistment wss for the
purpose of escaping to the Federal lines at
favorable opportunity. In his decision
the Commissioner says: II can not hold
otherwise than that the soldier in this case
did render voluntarily aid and comfort to
the late rebellion against the United States.
The claim will therefore be rejected, and in
this and all other similar cases, Congress
alone can give relief"
Inthe Union Pacific Railroad case which
has been on trial before the Supreme Court
at Washington D. G. for some time has q
claim brought by the Railroad Company to
recover for the transportation Of mails and
for other services rendered the government,
to which the &c vernment filed off sets for
5 per cent, to be paid into the Treasury
under the act of 1862, and Is per cent, un-
der the Thurman act. the court found the
facts and res cied q conclusion upon the
law last February, and the opinion was
then read by the Chief Justice. 1t was
then ordered by the court that compu-
tation be made in accordance with the opin-
ion, and experts have since then been at
work upon the matter. The computation
is nov complete, showing that the railroad
is indebted to thegovernment in something
over 81 ,250, 900. Judgment will be entered
accordingly.

MR. EDITOR:-The outlook for a crOD

y0nd all else now exercising the minds
OF the many growers in this vicinity.
l have listened to many, but there is
so much diversity of opinion that it is
really difficult matter to form anv
definite conclusion rs to the possibili-
ties. This much is assured. most or
chards have not made as great an
amount Of wood as could be desired
buds are plentiful on what there is

from injury by the recent cold wealth

should not be fair yield, unless from
the fact as some argue. that after bear
ing three successive years the trees be-
come IN a measure exhausted for q
season, however this may be. let Us
hope for modest supply at least Of the
luscious, beautiful fruit

to fulfill, hence he is prompted tempo
rarily to rest from the active duties of
the ministerial life. Thus the Whining
ton Conference loses one Of its finest
pulpit orators.
Mr.. Merritt's sermons are able. schol-
arly, and spiritual, yet plain, practical
and instructive to old and young alike.
He always commands the close atten-
ton Of his auditors aud his discourses
are given to them as though they were
intelligent beings, which we are sorry
to say IS not always our good fortune
with pastors in the country.
Evidently Mr.. Merritt has spent the
larger part of his ministerial life in his
study where all ministers should and
less of it in tea drinking than is custo-
mary with most divines. Tea drink
ing we would not discourage altogetb-
er, but we think ministers frequently
give too much time to the social wants
of their people to the neglect of pulpit
duties: a little more theology GRAINED

chicken into their stomachs would ele-

The Legislature made shorter work
in selecting a successor to MIR. Bayard
to represent Delaware in the United
States Senate than was expected, the
caucus settling on AttOrney-General
George Gray, on the second ballot.
Mr. Gray was the natural successor to
Mr.. Bayard, possessing natural a5ili-
ties, dignity of character, honesty Of
purpose and capacity for development
and that quality Of chiyalry that has
been Distinguishing trait Of his pred
ecessor-the Legislature could not
have filed the place better. Mr.. Gray
will be one Of the youngest members
ofthat dignifed body, but the "eyes Of
Delaware are on him and will expect
him to maintain the honored place our
State has always had in the Senate
Chamber.

Street Market. .

The street market recently inaug-
urated in Dover seems to be meeting
with marked success. Why cannot
Smyrna have such an institution? If
our farmers will only get out of the
old ruts, as have several Of those about
Dover, and bring their produce into
town in shape TO sell directly to the
consumer instead of trading it at the
store, the same success would charac-
terize such an effort here as has
crowned that at Dover. Let our far
mers think about this matter aud give
us a street market. With water works
and street market evidence, that does
not now exist, would be manifest of a
wide-awake country town.

Last friday evening marked the ad-
vent Of the roller skating craze in our
town. The rink, under the supervis-
ion Of II. S. Anthony, has been pushed
zealously from its inception to its com
pletion. All day Friday the carpen-
ters worked vigorously, smoothing up
the skating floor and putting on the
finishing touches, during the dav the
manager, assisted by several of the in
terested parties, proceeded to decorate
the room. Our national colors. taste
fully arranged throughout the build
ing, appeared most prominent in the
adOrnment. Chinese lanterns of var
ious designs were suspended in profu-
sion from the timbers supporting the
roof, giving the interior a very attrac-
tive look. AT half-past six in the
evening the sale of admission tickets
commenced, and a continual line of
people poured into the building until
nearly all the available space was oc-
cupied. At an oppOrtune time the
Smyrna Cornet Band entered the room
assembled to the suspended orchestra
box in the centre Of the rink, and dur
ing the evening cnlivened the scene
with some of their best selections
They were highly complimcnted upon
their appearance, attired in their attrac
tive uniform, and upon their music.
MiddletoWn and Dover We're both
represented at The opening. Several
of the visitors could be seen gliding
very smoothly aud gracefully over the
door, showing conciusively that they
had experience in managing the rollers.
The professional skaters employed for
the occasion performed some dbl n t
feats, winning much applause. Many
of the observers who had never before
witnessed expert roller skating looked
at their performances IN amazcmrnl
To the ~psctatOr tn ever varying
scenes Of the rink cannot be other than
amusing. There is a fascination about
the graceful movements of n rood
skater which inspires in the beholder
desire to join in the recreation. The
debut of the novice on the skatiuU
floor is unayoidably attended with some
ludicrOus incidents, and, while the
audience finds it impossible at times to
suppress an Outburst Of merriment.
their sympathy is often aroused for the
unfortunate ones who have been
brought forcibly in contact with the
hard wooden floor.
Several of our nice young men seem
to possess a style Of lOcomOtion that is
painfully distressing; the attitudes
they assume in their efforts to keep on
their feet are so comical that thev
battle all attempts at description.
Many of the tender sex who have ven
tured to take the initiatory step, creep
around cautiously, not daring to hurry
for fear of a fall, others more courage
GUS strike out, desperately determined
to conquer.
II the liberal patronage extended to
the rink up to this time continues
the management has every reason to
feel assured that the experiment will
prove a success.

IT is notable that both Canada and

offer of small contingents for service in
