we will give it this week.

E. Fox, of Owego, N. Y.
Miss Ruth A Tuft is spending a few
days in Wilmington, Del
Hon. James B. Groome of Elkton,

friendly visit on Sunday of last week.

Maxwell, near this place.
Mrs. Mary Howath, of Glen Riddle, Pa.
and Mrs. Annie Stewart, of North East,
Md, are visiting Mr. Frank Couden.
Thos. Major has purchased a new
horse. Mr. Major now has as handsome
a double team as can be found.
A gentleman living in proximity of
this town, purchased pair of muscovey
ducks and took them home. When he
went to take them out of the box, they
both got away from him and flew out
over the fields, where upon he called his
wife to run to neighbors and borrow a
gun, which she did. While the daught-
ter climbed up into the barn TO watch
the ducks out of the window. When
the gun was procured, another gentle
man being present took it and after some
difficulty succeeded in killing both ducks.
We don't see any use in going to Elk
River ducking when such sport can be
had at home with pair of muscovies.

The base ball season was opened last
Saturday by Brilliant ?]Oame between
the College and the Academy. In the
goodness of our heart,we withhold the full
score, but we cannot help indulging in
few general criticisms. In the first place,
it is no longer considered in good taste,
Jack, to practice fancy Indian club move
ments in the neighJorhood of the ball, as
said ball smilingly salutes you from its
sweet repose in the catcher's hands. We
would further enquire whether it is re-
clerche to catch high flies on the bound?
Do not infer, however, that the game was
without good plays. A large audience
had gathered to see some fun. They were
not disappointed. There was some fine
running on called balls and fouls, land some
desperately wicked strikes at the ball.
John Boyd, Businessman of the College
team, had, it is claimed, seventeen errors.
S. A. Buchanan, well known as player
ofsome renown, held fly during the pro-
gress of the game. This is vouched for
by several spectators. After seven live
ly innings, one side was so tired running
the bases, and the other correspondingly
tired racing wild throws, that the game
was there terminated, by mutual consent.

Must Have News.

Just what we want every week is a
large variety of news. We have asked
our friends and the clergy to send us
what they would like to have printed. 1t
is hardly possible to have served run
aways,-horses we mean, because to have
an elopement would startle us so that it
would be almost impossible to write any
thing, except to say "flown," Mr.. so-and-
so and Miss so-and-so-because the dan
ger of some one getting hurt would be
good. This would make more news, too,
because if a horse dashing along the
street should strike an innohensive citi-
zen, who was basking in the genial
spring sun, would make local.-We
don't care to have a fire, because it is so
hard to manage, and does so much dam
age, but there are several rickety old
buildings that if once out of the way
would be replaced with modern struc-
tures.-It is out of the question to pro-
pose a street line, because the hacks are
so accommodating that they just back.
to the door and without the least exer-
ton, one can get in or out. Can't ask for
anything better than this, but when the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad gets in
operation and the p, w. and B. r. r.
gets a depot at the east end, near
Wrght's lumber yard, will necessarily
allow the hacks to take rest. What a
pity2 But, of course, we cannot stop
improvements. 1t is what we all want
Electric lights are spoken of for Newark,
and if proper steps are taken the plant
can be placed here that will give all the
power and lights that are needed, for
$4,000 or $1,000. The agent informed us
about these things, Also, we believe that
the rate of town tax could be reduced,
because lights could be placed on the
streets at Sl4 each. This is a rare chance
for men-capitalists-who want to invest
their surplus cash, and get big return.
THE LEDGER will do its part in advertis-
ing and putting the scheme. Don't let
the matter drop. We need more light,
and electricity will just be bright enough
to show the bad places in our Streets
1t is a little premature to suggest water
works, but we are sure there are a num-
Der living here would like to have water
We suggest, however, that two or three
large wind mills be erected, and then
water can be supplied. If the mills arc
insufficient, why erect more. They are
cheap, and takes no trouble to keep then
going, if the wind be good. However, in
due time, all these things will come
about, and we will wonder why they
were not long before. Bring on YOU
| news.

New Departure in the Library Magazine.

The April issue of The Library Maya
zine, containing its usual variety of cur
rent literature of the highest order, an
nounces that with its next issue radical
changes will take place. It will there
after be published weekly instead of
monthly. Without increase in price it
will give an increased amount of litera-
ture, and great gain in freshness and
timeliness will be possible. The form of
the page will be made somewhat smaller
so that the numbers and the bound
volumes, particularly, will be more con-
venient. A fact that is probably with
out precedent in the history of periodi-
cal literature is stated by the publisher,
viz: that it is necessary frequently to re-
print large editions of the back volumes,
running as far back as 1879. This is GER
tainly very extraordinary certificate of
the high character of the magazine. A
most important addition to the attrac-
tons of the magazine in its new form
will be literary review and news de-
partment, which will supply informa-
ton concerning all that is new and of
interest in the world of literature, freed
from the vast amount of trivial matter
and mere publishers notices which COM
monty make up large portion of the
contents of literary journals lin word,
this department is meant to be conduct
ed distinctly in the interest of the read
ers of books, instead of in the interests
of the publishers of books--which will
certainly be a new departure in literary
journalism. A specimen copy of the
magazine in its new form will be sent
free to any applicant, John B. Alden,
publisher, 903 Pearl st., New York City,
T. O. Box. 1927.

Several members Of the Salvation
Army of Wilmington visited this town
on Friday night of last week, and also
Sunday afternoon and evening. They
held their meetings in Caslsey Hall.
Admission 10 cents. The attendance was
not large, but the Salvationists appeared
just as happy as if several thousand per-
sons were present.
This week we were shown model
of ingenious construction for coupling
shafts to wagons. From causal observa-
ton, we believe the invention will prove
winning card, because no livery stable
keeper will be without it. We withhold
the name of the gentleman who model
ed the handy little device for some flu
ture time. We understand a patent will
be applied for at once.
in a very short time Mr.. j. T.
Maxwell, of this town, will commence
the erection of glass-front undertaking
establishment on the site where the old
building now stands. This will undoubt-
eddy be one of the best improvements
the town has had for some time. Let
others follow Mr.. Maxwell's example,
and tear down old, unsightly buildings,
and erect in their stead, neat stores and
residences,-the latter will prove the
better Investment.
Mr. Charles NJ. Curtis of Whining

Court The ceremony was performed
by the RI. Rev. Bishop Lee in the pres
ence of the immediate family at the
brides home, 1901 Delaware Avenue at
o'clock in the evening, after which the
happy couple left for tour to Boston
and the Eastern States.
On Wednesday of this week, three
blooded Holstein cattle arrived here for
Mr.. Nelson Warren from New York
State, where that gentleman purchased
them a week or more ago. They consist
of two heiiers aud bull. They present
ed fine spectacle as they were driven
through our streets, and drew admira-
ton from all who saw them. We are
glad that Mr.. Warren has brought such
valuable strain of cattle into the neigh
borhood, and can only wish he will sue
coed in gathering together of large
herd.

A Word to the Horse Trader.

Gentlemen, there is great deal to
learn about trading horses. One day not
long ago, a Mr.. Gypsy came along, and,
of course, had with him several very fine
nags. He met with man in Cowan-
town who was ready to make a trade,
and after few words between Mr.. Gyp-
sy and the other Mr., an exchange
in animals was made, and the Cowan-
town man was very proud of his new
horse. Several men were standing by
who thought the trade good one-but
to the great surprise of the owner the
gypsy came back in few day and told
him the horse was blind. Mr.. - had
worked his new horse and liked it very
much and could not realize it was blind
until he quickly went to the barn, and
to the amazement of several present the
poor thing was trying to find the trough,
where its feed had been laid. As both
eyes were minus of sight, of course, the
feed it could not find. Not only Mr.. =
was mistaken but of all who was present
and witnessed the trade, not one of them
thinking to examine the poor beasts
eyes. Let this be a warning to all men
who do not want blind horses.
