The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1886-03-20

! efH, DtcAuhcs ike all bucn, they 40 not
always tell the truth. However, we may
look for spring before many weeks, as
the six of the bad, as predicted by the
ground hog, has passed.
The Rev. Thos. II. Haynes, of this
town, who was transferred by the last
Conference TO Frederick, Del, came into
our Office on Tuesday before starting to
his new field Of labor, and babe editors
and typos good-by. Mr.. Haynes made our
office frequent visits during his pastorate
here, and no one was more gladly well
coined. We heartily congratulate the
people Of Frederick in securing so
estimable a gentleman.
Probably this will be of interest to
many of our readers. Now here is some
thing which is really worth making a
note Of If piece of charcoal is laid on
burn the pain will subside imme-
diately, and if left upon the wound for
an hour will cure it. This seems almost
incredible, but as piece of charcoal is
readily procurable it should be kept in
every house for immediate use and its
efficacy tested
What might have proved serious
accident at the Newark depot was pre-
vented by Mr.. G. c. Choate on Tuesday
evening. A lady had just united her
house preparatory to starting toward
town, and was about to enter the car
riage when the animal suddenly started,
and would have continued in its course
had not Mr.. Choate's prompt action pre-
vented it A small child was in the
vehicle at the time.
In last weeks issue appeared the adj
vertisemcnt of John M. Evans, carpet
dealer, Philadelphia. The place Of bust
ness was stated wrong. 1t should have
been 9l9, instead of 90 Market street.
The adv. also appears on the first page in
this issue with DO, but on the local page
it will be found to be correct. Mr.. Evan
has been in the carpet business many
years, and We can heartily recommend
him to our friends who desire carpets.

--Rumors are never scarce in small
town. Now they have it that the p, w.
and b, Railroad company seriously think
of supplying'means whereby passengers
viii be carried to and from this town to
the main line of their road. Some say
it will be done by running small en-
CINE and car on the Newark and Pome-
roy Railroad from this town south to the
depot. 1t is mere speculation, however,
and until some active operations are no.
ticeable, it is useless to say more of the
project.
joy was occasioned at the Washing
ton House in this town the early part of
the week by the recovery of pet SPUR
rel that had in some way escaped more
than week before. The little chap was
first discovered by some boys, and they
would have undoubtedly have killed it
had it not been for Seymour Widdoes,
who quickly recognized the pet that was
mourned as lost It was some time be-
fore the capture was made, which was
finally accomplished in the yard of DR..

"A party of Elkton gentlemen con
template purchasing pleasure yacht,
and they will place in it shipman
engine, similar to the one in this office.
We believe such an undertaking would
result most favorably. The Shipman
engine it is said will drive large pleas
ure boat at the rate of ten to fifteen
miles per hour. The engine occupies but
a small space, and the heat from them is
scarcely perceptible. We would invite
those who are interested in the scheme
to call and see the shipman engine Dos

this Office.
AT various times, recently, consider
able annoyance was occassioned persons
who came from down the State, and who
made the transfer at Porter's station for
Newark to take train south that leaves at
8;19. The Delaware City train arrived at
Newark depot about ten minutes after
the south-bound train had left, thus
making those who desired to go to Balti-
more OF Washington, wait until sos.
Such thing certainly gives ground for
complaint, yet to detain train load of
passengers for only two or three persons
seems equally unjust. Some arrangement
should be made whereby the trouble
could be overcome.
