Miss Helen Potter.

Miss Helen Potter, whose just fame as
a reader and impersonator extends
throughout the States, appeared in the
Oratory of Delaware College, for the
second time, on Wednesday evening. A
goodly-sized audience was in attendance,
but not as large as it shonld have been.
The entertainment was opened with a
selection from Dickens, entitled Gabriel
Grub" which elected the most generous
applause. In all her roles Miss Potter
exhibited master hand, and clearly
upheld the reputation which she has so
cleverly won. From ludicrious to severe
her style is the very poetry Of ease and
gracefulness. Many Elktonians were in
attendance, The managers Of the Re
Oiew deserve unstinted praise for having
secured Miss Potter for the occasion, and
should they in the future conclude to
provide the people with an entertain
ment equally enjoyable, they may rest
assured that success will crown their
endeavors. The Newark Orchestra fur.
nished the music, and the selections
were admirably rendered, considering
that those who compose the same are all
amateurs, and having had limited prac-
| tice.

More Light Wanted.

Just at this time when neiphboring
towns are progressing in the way of
improvements, such as water works, cleo
trio lights, and a thorough system of
drainage, we ask the serious attention
of our citizens to our improvements.
The facilities now used for lighting the
streets, is very poor, in fact, it would be
hard to provide lamps of any description
that would give less light. We know
that there are several prominent men in
favor of lighting the streets with cleo
trio lights, and, if the matter can be
worked up and get the majority interest
ed, it would not take long to place cleo
tricity in our town. We hope business
men will consider this.
To make this town grow in popula-
ton and wealth the place will have to
be made inviting to persons who wish to
build. With electric lights and water
in the town, men, who intend to locate
in some country town, would stop here.
But as it is, there is no inducement offer
ed. This thing of putting all these
improvements in Newark can be done,
and should be DONE There is the foun-
dry building soon to be exposed at sale,
which contains an engine large enough
to furnish the power, and the balance
could soon be got. We would like to
get the matter under discussion for we
think it can be done. We would like to
hear the views of those interested.

Most of our citizens attended the Fair
at Elkton last week.
Mr.. VIM. Frazier informed us that he
has sold his pacing mare, to gentleman
from Chicago(?) for 100000.
Geo. y. Brown, has purchased bicy-
Gle, and we think he will make profici-
ent rider, if he continues taking "head-
ers."
A young man was left to keep house
while the folks attended the Fair. When
they returned all the eatables had dis
appeared. Somehow or other he has
not had much appetite since.
On looking over the description of the
Cecil County Fair, as given by the Cecil
Wing last week, a young lady remark
ed "why the Durham bull went down
through the fancy department" The
sentence sounds very much that way
Two young men, who live in this Vi
cinity, started few nights ago to visit a
couple of ladies'. They were riding
along chatting pleasantly, when a sicken
ing odor swept over them. The horse
had stepped on skunk and the result
was the horse and wagon was pretty
well perfumed. The young mer
escaped. We cannot say they seen the
ladies, but when they returned there
