The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-07-31

1t is said that by holding the hands,
which have been stained by preparing
fruit to preserve, over the fumes of sui
phur. The best and easiest way to burn
the sulphur is to sprinkle it on a piece OF
paper and then burn it.
There is quite "a bad hole on the
sidewalk at the corner Of Delaware and
Elkton avenues II is large enough for a
mans foot to go in, and if not attended
to before long, Newark may have an ex-
ira bill to pay as damages
Mess John S. Writ, John S. Rassell,
and several other gentlemen of Elkton,
as commission appointed by the
County Commissioners of Cecil to go
over the b. and o. road and examine
crossings, were in Newark Friday.
Those who desire to furnish a house
and want to know just where to go for it,
we would direct them to the mammoth
store of NJ. Megary & Son, 500 Tatnall
street, Wilmington. They sell goods on
the most liberal terms. Give them a
call.
We would call especial attention Of
buyers to the new advertisement Of
Wanamaker & Brown Of Philadelphia,
This firm draws patronage from all over
the country and well do they dererve it,
because they give full value for money
expended with them.
In every town there are people who
cannot find a suitable occupation, and in
variably find fault about there being no
business done in the town. Now our ad
vice to all who are dissatisfied with the
town in which they live to seek other
places more congenial to their tastes.
The committee of young gentlemen
haying charge of the pic-nics held at
Cowantown, will give another enjoyable
dance pic mic at that place tonight, July
81. They have completed every arrange
ment for the occasion, and those who are
favored with an invitation should not
fail to attend.
-Honey-making has become profita-
BILE branch of industry in Canada e.
change. We often wondered what great
attraction Canada presented to lure so
many Americans within her borders.
Now, we know. Honey-making is surely
sweeter occupation than handling mon
ey in banks, etc.
Recent heavy storms in the West
has resulted most disastrously to grain
crops. The hail, which fell in great
quantities cut the grain to the ground.
One dispatch states that 10000 acres Of
wheat was destroyed in the section Of
st. Paul. Oats and barley likewise suf-
fered thirdly.
The same old verdict, and a just one
that we do work as cheaply and neatly at
this office as anywhere in the State. A
trial order is all we ask, and if we fail to
please, then we do not want you to come
back any more. Come and see us and
get prices. Write for term,etc. Adj
dress. this office.
james Anderson shaved his custo-
mers by electric light in his barber shop
Saturday night last.-Ogford Herald.
A powerful light, indeed, that will take
the beard from mans face Or perhaps,
Mr.. Anderson rubbed the light over his
customers face, which, when wiped
with a towel, was clean of beard.
The Academy of Newark and Della
ware Normal School is undergoing many
needed changes in the way of improve
ments. The interior has been thorough
ly overhauled and now presents very
attractive appearance. A new board
walk from the street to the building has
been put down. A new fence will be
erected.
Among the dates of the different
agricultural fairs, we find the Cecil
county News says the Elkton Fair will
be held from September 2S to October
1885. According to our recollection the
Elkton fair takes place Oct. 8, 6, ant
8. The editor of the NelCs surely glanced
his eyes over the wrong figures. Loci
again, brother.
"A horse driven up the depot road
stepped on sharp stone, running int
the foot, making the animal quite LAM
until removed. The loose stones on the
street are dangerous and are liable t.
make horse lame at any time. Crush
ed rock would have been preferable Il
broken granite, but we must abide tn
actions of the Commissioners.
One of the greatest improvement
that has blessed this town is the ston'
ballast placed on the streets recently
Of course it is triae hard on a horse
feet, but that can be avoided when fel
low learns to drive a horse crooked
Aside from this, these stone piles giy
work to one man to keep them from es
Gaping. Still we are happy, and we hop
all others are, too.
The Citizens Cornet Band of thi
town, went to Chesterville, Pa, on Tues
{ day evening to attend a picnic. Harr
II. Haines furnished the conveyance
We understand that the boys had de
lightful time. They returned HON
about five o'clock on Wednesday morn
ing. Before starting, however, the mt
sicians played a selection, which went t
prove that the band can play, and New
arkers ought to be proud of them.
