A Visit to White Hall.

As picnics are now the order of the
day, and one of the editors of this office,
his wife and lady acquaintance accept
ed an invitation from Miss Mollie Il.
Falls, to go picnicking at White Hall.
Leaving Newark on the early train, we
soon arrived in Elkton. A quiet look
prevailed everywhere. In fact many of
the inhabitantc were not up. Takingthe
hack we were landed safely at the How
ard House, Nothing of note TRANSFERRED
while here, excepting that there was Il
little ripple of excitement in getting
loaded into the conveyance. 1t was a
crowded party, sure, but not having far
to go, we all held our uncomfortable po-
sitions to the end of the Journey. White
Hall is about two and a half miles from
Elkton, situated ON the Elk river, afford
ing splendid view of several miles of
broad sheet of water. 1t was delight
full and cool. Mr.. George Davis, the
farmer, was very kind, and for which the
party passed a vote of thanks The day
passed quickly, and at about o'clock we
were on our homeward journey, after
spending happy day at White Hall.

Tweodville Wrinkles and Troubles.

Mr.. j. Tweed has harvested the heav-
lest field of grass along Big Elk, doing
the loading himself, which his friends
will take as evidence that he is better
OF asthma, of which he has been afflicted
for a number of years.
Our accommodating miller Mr.. How
ard Taylor, being overtalxen on the hill
between the mill and Lewisville by a
pedestrian neighbour unhesitatingly sent
him back to get his horse and buggy,
while he continued his journey walking.
There are few Towards. The mill is do
ing good business under his super
vision.
Mr.. Il. w. Bye has no time for Cape
May or Long Branch, and would have
none for the city of Brotherly Love,
were it not for the horse business which
must go on.
Miss Jessie Bye is home spending her
school vacation, one of eight weeks, and
not unlike her ancestor, she is a young
lady of work as well as life and light.
Miss Waugh of Philadelphia, a young
lady friend accompanied her home from
school and spent a week or more ere she
returned to Philadelphia.
Our local railraid interest is not dead,
but sleepeth, till the protracted harvest
is past and the summer ended, when we
expect it to awake with giant force, Gil
rard finance, David courage, and surprise
the B. and o. itself.
The scarcity of hands compelled one
of our honest woman to undertake load
ing his own hay. The load had nearly
reached completion when the pitcher
landed a ponderous fork-full in an i'm
proper place. The loader complacently
took his fork and rolled it off the load.
The pitcher looked at it and coolly pass
ed on to the next bunch. The loader
told him to pitch the bunch he had roll
ed off, when he replied that he had
pitched it once and it might lay there
till the loader came down after.
Mrs. Prices dun mare, Fannie, died
July 9TH of spasmodic collie A serious
as well as heavy loss, because for kind
ness, soundness and safety the bill is
hard to fill. Mr.. J. Strickland kindly
supplied horse to finish hauling hay.
Miss r. Strickland will take the Mt
Olivet School again at its re-opening.
Mr.. +. Foot's crops promises well. His
motto is anything that is worth doing
is worth doing we'll" Frank is friend
in need. He has started right. May long
life and rich reward be his.
Mr.. J. Whitcraft has been engaged at
West Grove is now home helping his
many friends, las many as he CAM, to
secure their harvest. Jim is a good hand'
kind neighbor and complete panoply
against the blues. TYRo.

The Hot Weather

OF midsummer has weakening effect,
both upon body and mind. You feel alb
solutely incapable of doing any arduous
work, and even light duties are perform
ed languidly and unwillingly. This low
state of the system causes even greater
lnfirmity, and gives opportunity for ser
ious disease to gain foothold. In this
condition the system is quick to respond
to the reviving, quickening, and strength
ening effects of Hoods sarsaparilla, which
purifes the blood, regulates the digestive
organs, and infuses fresh life and yigor
into every portion of the body. People
who have taken it write us saying; at
puts new life into me-" at makes me
young again" Reader if you suffer from
summer weakness, try Hoods Sarsaparil-
Ia. 100 Doses 81.

There has been a number of idle gentry
in this town, lately, but as there is hardly
enough to keep four men employed,
there is nothing for them 10 do, so they
pass along.
The Sabbath School Association of
the M. Il. Church of this town, have de-
cided to make their annual picnic this
year a church affair also. Therefore, all
who either belong or attend the church
are urged to take part. The picnic will
be held Thursday, August 9TH, in beau
tiful grove on top of Iron Hill.
John Lewis, colored of near White
Clay Creek Church, was before Squire
Vallandigham this week, charged with

offence, but was bound over for carrying
concealed deadly weapons. ~
Miss Annie Il. Rees, daughter of
Thos. A. Rees, who resides near Chesa-

The Old Battle Ground.

The citizens of Newark and vicinity,
will be given the opportunity of visiting
the historic and picturesque Harper's
Ferry, Tuesday July, Goth. The Industry
Lodge, No. 2 A. o. U. w., of Wilmington
Del, have chartered train for this occa-
sion, and it promises to be the excursion
event of the season. The train will run
over the new B. & O., and will leave the
b. & o., Station at GAO go minutes before
7 o'clock. Those who prefer, can spend
one day in Washington, reioining the ex-
cursion party in Baltimore. The blend
ing of the picturesque and the historic
along the line of the b. q o., renders a
trip over it to Harper's Ferry, replete
with enjoyment no other route can APP
proach. In one or the other there is that
which causes one to forget himself and
he lives in grandeur and the lOveliness of
nature or the hallowed memoirs of a his
toric past. The time is Thursday, July,
Doth to take in the grandest and most re-
plete excursion of the Season.

TONS Business College, Philadelphia, Pa,
but formerly of Academy of Newark and

believe it will be successful one, as Prof
Goldey possesses every qualification ne
cessary to make this an institution to be
felt throughout this and adjoining States
Wilmington should feel indebted to Mr..
Goldey, and show just appreciation, by
giving his Commercial College every pos
sible favor that's in her power to bestow.

Tired Languid Dull

Exactly expresses the condition of
thousands of people at this season. The
Oppressive effects of warm weather, and
the weak condition ofthe body, can only
be corrected by the use of a reliable tonic

saparilla now. 1t will give you untold
wealth in health, strength, and energy.

Drowned.

John ?. Almond, jr., son of Ex-Mayor
Almond of Wilmington, was drowned
last Sunday evening. Young Almond in
company with several young men were re-
turning from the Jersey shore, where they
had located place to camp out. Just at
about dusk a squat struck the boat, and
Almond was thrown over board by the
boom. The wind and the tide carried
the boat quarter of a mile away before
it could be managed. On returning, the
young man could not be found. He was
about % years of age.

WIN. De-

Whooping-cough paroxysms, it is well
known, are sensibly ameliorated by the
atmosphere of gas works, and there is
some reason for the belief that cures of
the disease are effected by breathing
such air. DIR. W. T. Greene suggests an
easily available improvement on the old
plan of sending children on visits to gas
works for this purpose. His plan is to
attach piece of rubber tubing to a
burner, the tubing being long enough to
reach the floor. The gas is turned on
just enough to make percepible odor,
and the child is to inhale it for a few
minutes at a time.

Casualties.

The steamship, Gate City of the savan-
nah Steamship Company was wrecked
on the rocks at Nanchon Island, Mass,
Sunday night. The Gate City is the
sister boat of the Ilfated City of Column
bus, and the place she struck was di-
rectly opposite where the Columbus went
down in 1883. The Gate City left Saw
annah with fifty-two passengers and a
cargo of $4,000 watermelons. A heavy
fog prevailed at the time of the disaster.
The steamer will be total loss. All the
passengers were rescued.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I will not be a long
time before the voters of White Clay
Creek Hundred will be called upon to
nominate a candidate for the Legislature.
There are connected with this matter the
election of United States Senator. The
present incumbent, George Gray, by his
votes and speeches has shown that he is
in harmony with the present general
government administration. While the
person who will be his competitor for
office, Mr.. Lore, has by his votes antag-
onized the administration on the Silver
bill and the subsidy of steamships. If a
Democratic Administration must make a
success, it must have funds in its house
hold that will stand by it. And as one
voter of White Clay Creek before vote
for any candidate for the Legislature,
want to know what that candidate will
do in the matter. No doubtful candidate
can get my vote. hope and expect
that every voter of the hundred who
holds similar views on this question with
myself will be equally decided upon this
subject. Respectfully,
