Supper, Fair and Festival.

The fair festival and supper under the
auspices of the NJ. +. Church of this town,
was complete success. Whilst it is
true, greater things might have been ac-
complished if circumstances could have
been controlled, yet none have been
heard to murmur or complain. In all
probability $l75 has been cleared, if not
more. No better place could have been
selected than Caskey building to hold
this affair in, and we are sure no better
cooks or more accommodating mattresses
could have been found. The fancy and
refreshment table were superb. The first
three nights, Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday was clear and pleasant. On Mon
day evening however, at which time an
oysters supper was given, the weather
proved very disagreeable. Very hand
some pound cakes were presented to the
pastor of the Church, Rev. c. w. Pretty
man, and Rev. ] II. Caldwell, of Delaware
College and to the Sabbath School Supt.
VIM. Neilds. Those having this combi-
nation of palitable and eye-pleasing
events deserve crest praise.

Night School.

The night school in the public school
building, which started but short while
ago, is meeting with great success. The
attendance is growing nightly and we
are glad to see so many Of our young
men and boys attending, because there
they will lay foundation of their lives.
Those who attend should encourage other
young men to go. Don't think for II
moment you are too old, because you
are not. Those ladies who have the
matter in charge deserve considerable
credit.

SLEIGHING.
Fun on Friday and Saturday, Last.

Last Saturday was a lively day in this
town. Probably there was a larger num-
Der of sleighs than ever before seen on
our streets. Several fine turn-outs were
noticed. Racing was INDUCED in by the
young folks until late in the evening.
Among the fastest horses we noted Il
small dun PAGER owned by VIM. Wright
of Ogletown. David Brooks had his fine
bay PAGER out and Mr.. Wright and he
contested for first place, which we give
to the little dun. Mr.. Brooks horse is
too fat, but showed considerable speed.
Ed. Baylis of Avondale, had toppy bay
trotter, which followed the little PAGER
very close, but the street was too rough
for it to stay on its feet Manly Bremen
droved a fine bay; b. b. Dunbar showed
the trotting speed of Lucky" Charlie
Foard drove a fine pair of BAYS w. At
more Woodrow, handled the ribbons
over a stylish pair of blacks, which prom
Use considerable speed Mr.. Joseph II.
Caleb enjoyed riding behind his blooded
pair of horses. John Tweed of Kimble-
vile, had fine sorrel which looked like
trotter. There was also fine string
of horses out Friday. We noticed close
race between Little Frank" and n fine
iron gray driven by Richard Pilling, and
Sagwa PAGER from Elkton, driven by
Robt Crouch. Little Frank seemed to
have little too much foot for the other
two horses. although Sagwa pressed him
closely. frank" is a splendid actor and
when called" can take a skipand almost
distance those following DIR. G. T..
Morrow, of Elkton, drove n nice looking
bav and could speed fast, but the Doctor
took care not to race. Nelson X. Warner
had young horse which has n fine ac-
tions and promises something fast. There
was host of others which we had noted
down in our note book, but some fellow
robbed us and took the book thinking it
contained money when it only had
"notes."
