The Lick Telescope.

The gigantic Lick telescope on Mount
Hamilton, Cal, is at last ready for its
work of astronomical exploration. It is
the greatest refracting telescope in the
world, and now that its maker, Alvan
Clark, is dead, there is little probability
that it will ever have a rival, at least in
the present state of development of the
art of telescope making.-Frank Leslie's.

AT its session this spring, the Sussex
County Levy Court sat down heavily
upon the lawyers, and it is to be hoped
has effected n permanent reform in Il
system of extortion that has led the
county into debt. The trouble with
the lawyers has been heretofore, that
extortionate bills havs been rendered
for the most trivial services. If the
Court assigned lawyer to a criminal
in some petty larceny case, where the
value of the goods stolen did not
amount TO more than two or three dol
lars, bills for professional services were
rendered amounting to sums between
twenty-five and fifty dollars for the
county to pay. No regard for acquit-
tai or conviction actuated the attor-
neys, for the county paid them. In
fixing the sum at FIVE dollars, possibly
the court went to the other extreme
but they purpose TO correct the evil by
radical means, and this is certainly
equal to the emergency. 1t is aston
ishing to those who have the scrutiny
of the county items OF expense, how
the inclination to rob by extOrtiOn the
public treasury crops out in unlocked
for places, and by the shearing process
applied to such cases as spoken of, the
present Levy Court has been enabled
to make the creditable showing,which
is published in another column.

GOVERNOR BIGGs has been charged
with having attempted to prevent
Delaware College from receiving the
$4,000 now due from the u. S. Gov
eminent, for the establishment of an
experimental station, and with the
intention OF turning il into either a
POLITICAL channel, or to the Confer
ence Academy. Te this his vigor-
Gus denial at the trustees meeting this
week has been given, and that our
sturdy farmer governor is an earnest
advocate of the establishment of such
station, no one who knows him enter
tains doubt His large fruit and
grain interests lead him to desire that
an experimental station shall achieve
the highest results; but it must
be ever borne in mind that where
the greatest number of interests
can be touched for the public good,
is the place that such an Institution
should be located. Kent and Sussex
certainly can set up their claim jointly
with New Castle in cereal interests;
but in the fruit aud vegetable line, the
northern county just as certainly can
not offer the slightest claim. If such
experimental station to be Of practical
benefit to farmers and truckers,is is TO be
established, then it must to accom-
plish its object, be located where such
vegetables and fruits thrive best. If
there is no logic in this. then had such
experimental station for Delaware as
well be established in New York or
Canada, as in the extreme end Of our
State where fruit does not thrive, and
where even sweet potatoes or garden
truck does not come to its finest per
fectien.
Governor Biggs may have some
other object in view; possibly the es-
tablishing Of this station at Dover in
with the Conference Acad-
an1y ,orasa separate institution. Dover

IT has been a stauuing repToacn to
Sussex county f,r several years, that
no person knew, or could ascertain
the actual debt Of this county, aud it
was generally supposed that the float
ing debt would run the liabilities up to
sixty thousand dollars; but in another
column we are enabled to give the total
Indebtedness of Sussex county, which
is less than twemty-nine thousand dol
lars. This fact has been ascertained
through the indefatigable labor ofGeO.
c. Abbott, the member from Cedar
Creek, who has been an earnest advo-
cate of facing the worst and giving to
the public the true amount of county
Indebtedness. If the same close scru-
tiny of jobs is applied in the delibera-
tlons Of this branch of county govern
ment, Sussex Will be able to liquidate
her debt, in five years and apply all
of the money raised by taxation for
the purprse of improvement, instead of
having to pay nearly two thousand
dollars every year rs interest. Debt
takes no holidays, but counts her in
terest inexorably as time rolls on.

10 our Friends and Patrons

We take this method Of informing our
past patrons, friends and farmers gener-
ally that we have formed a copartnership
for the manufacture of the brand of Raw
Bone Super-Phosphate generally known
as JUMBO" Raw Bone Super
Phosphates which has for some time
been manufactured by Thos. Z. Draper,
of Milford and Philadelphia; also the
favorite, old and reliable Xxx" Raw
Bone Super-Phosphate, which was so
long manufactured at Milford and other
points by Lohand & Davis, and which
has earned for itself widespread reputa-
ton as a successful and economical ferti-
lizer.
Our effort and aim will be to make
all our goods STANDARD" and to keep
them SO; and we guarantee to sell as
cheaply as any other firm. We want all
Of our old trade, and as many new custo-
mers as desire to give us their orders
for their future needs in our line, and
when we fail to give satisfaction we shall
reasonably expect a withdrawal of their
patronage.
Fertilzing Materials of the Highest
Grade Only, Sold.
Please favor us with your orders in adj
vance and not wait until our crowded
moments, when often we are obliged to
disappoint through sheer inability on our
part to keep up with the press of orders.
Our stock is now complete and we can
give you better satisfaction for the same
money than those of our competitors
who are doing business under such
heavy expense. Our expenses are light,
therefore we can afford to sell our goods
cheaper, for you know that the greater
expense a manufacturer is under, the lar
ger his profit must necessarily be, which
assuredly must all come from his custom
ers' pockets.
Ever since we first started in business
we have tried to the best of our ability to
give the people of Delaware and Mary
land full value for the money they have
spent with us, and we have never had the
least complaint. We will try in the fu-
ture to keep up our reputation, not only
in this respect but in all other respects
pertaining to our business. Our trade
has been gradually increasing for the past
seven years, which we attribute solely to
the small profits at which we have sold
our goods, for we know that in these cri-
teal times people cannot afford to pay
extravagant prices for phosphates.
We use none but Ne. I bone, for which
we pay the highest prices. A visit to
our factory will satisfy our patrons of the
above fact. Call and see us, try our goods |
and we feel sure of your future patronage. |
Write us for prices and we will gladly |
furnish them.
Thanking the people of Delaware and
and vicinity for past patron
age and soliciting continuance of the
same, we remain:
