Partridge, of ElktOn, secretary. The

JACOB MACLARY on the "Crow farm"
has two fine patches of growing buck
wheat The mention of buckwheat
always suggests short winter days,
breakfast, and sausage. And this re-
minds US OF u farmer who says he
thanks no one in the sausage season
for putting less than twelve or fifteen
inches on his plate, but he lives several
miles from Mr.. Maclary. But we must
stop on this line: it is quite out of
place to talk about sausage in the
peach season,
The Executive Committee of the
Delaware Grand Lodge of Good TEN
plars on Tuesday of last week unan.-
mOusly declined to accept the resigna-
tiOn of Grand Worthy Chief Templar
Frank Whelen which was rendered
them. This seems gratifying news to
members of the order all over the State,
as Il reformed man who has held fifty
nine public meetings, organized thir-
teen or fourteen Lodges and quadru-
pied the number of Good Templars in
the State in less than year should not
they think be removed to the detri-
ment OF the welfare of the order and
public in general.
THESE vacation times afford parents
special facilities for getting acquainted
MI IN OF nI, A. nlo
children are hurried Off so early to
school, or kept out so late on the street
or piled away so early to bed, or other
wise so summarily disposed of, that
average parents can hardly be sup
posed to know them as parents ought.
1t may seem a strange allegation, but it
is true that the ambition Of many par
ents is to get their children out of the
way. Schools afford unusual Opportu-
mites of this sort, just as vacation af-
fOrds unusual opportunities to have
them at ones side.
THE Uncle Toms Cabin Company.
which is billed here for this evening is
thus spoken of by the Middletown cor
respondent of the EUery Ereaiaq.
Uncle Toms Cabin, under canvas
was the 25 cent attraction here on
Saturday evening. The performance
was very poor. They advertised a
trick donkey, and when the lOng-eared
beauty was asked for one of the at
taches said one of the bloodhounds cot
loose and chewed him up. A boy
standing near said some one must have
stolen the bloodhound since because
the vicious animal was also minus.
The tent was about half filled, the col
ored folks having the majority
THE following came to US on a pos

are many onion eaters in the land we
comply with the request for theirs as
well as his benefit:

THE following incident will doubt
less illustrate the position of number
! of politicians in our State who would
like to be on the winning side of the
contest which will be decided next

IN calling special attention to the
notice Of Sam'l P. Goodwin, ESD. o.
Hood, BOnbright & Co., we are pleased
to say that in late visit to the immense
establishment with which he is now
! connected, we found that our brother
Delawarean was at his post as usual
receiving the calls and attending to the
wishes of hosts of friends and that his
notoriety for prObity, influence and in.
dustry was being rewarded by immense
sales OF Dry Goods, Notions, Carpets
&c. Those who know Mr.. Goodwin
best will deal with him longest and we
are glad to express our appreciation o.
one who labors so assiduously in busi,
ness and out of it for the best good Of
others. Mr.. Godwin's long experience
and well-kHOwn thorough busines:
knowledge together with his self-sacri
hclng predispOsitiOn for the benefit O.
his friends, entities him to the largely
increased patronage he is receiving.
JOHN >. HOFFECKER, of Wilmington
who has been travelling in the Yves
tern States the past three months
came to Smyrna on Saturday to ioir
his wife, on a visit to his daughter
Mrs. Vandever. He arrived in the

heavily for several hours and declared

greatest extremes. They had had NJ
