The Creamery, which has been de-
layed a month awaiting the Separator
from the manufacturers, is now in full
running condition, and will run
through the first furnished milk today.
The rainy weather and muddy roads
will doubtless initiate against the milk
supply at first.
CAPT. w. n. JARVIS, from Charles
ton for Baltimore, met the late blizzard
of Cape Hatteras, and was blown east
of the Gulf Stream at a fearful rate
He arrived safely at his destination
last week with trihing damage, but
thinks that several vessels that left
when he did will never be heard from
again. The Capt. has been spending a
few days in town.
For A week or two past the residents
of Commerce, Delaware and other
streets have been annoyed of evenings
under the cover of the dark by the
actions of a set of bad boys. In addi-

doors, throw corn, shot or pebbles on
the doors and windows and in one or

prised when an exposure takes place
as it is sure to, if it continues much

HENRY S. ANTHONY, near town, has
been very successful this winter with
artificial chicken raising. His incuba-
tors have performed their part we'll in
Matching, and the proper care has been
exercised in raising them afterwards,
as is shown in the result. He has
about 1900 young chickens in all grades
of development from brOilers that
weigh six pounds to the pair down to
those just out of the shell. His method
of warmth is from heat radiated from
hot water. His largest chickens,
hatched the first of the winter, are now
ready for the long purses, and delicate
plates of the city epicures.
WE are signing for gentle spring,
and we don't care how soon she puts in
an appearance, or with what fervency
she takes the starch out of collars and
shirts when she does come. We have
had more than a sufficiency Of ice and
snow and billiards, and we shall not
weep if we never see any more. If we
had our way we would relegate such
weather as we have experienced dur
the past few months to Montana and il
it insisted on coming into Delaware we
would put such a tariff on it as tC
amount almost to prohibition. We are
