am glad to say, from long personal ex-
perience with Allcock's Porous Plasters, that
am able to endorse all the good things that
have ever been said about them, and supple
ment these by saying that I frankly believe
their value cannot be estimated. Their
breadth OF usefulness is unlimited, and for
prompt and sure relief to almost every ache
and pain that fesn is heir to, no otherremedy,
in my opinion, either external or internal,
equals them in certainty and rapidity.
have used them at one time for rheumatism,
another for backache, again for bronchitis,
always with the same result-a speedy cure.

In increasing the pension of F. G..
Wiswell, a veteran of the 5th army
corps of the late rebellion, the govern
ment has done a graceful act. When
a man receives bullet in the head,
that makes two holes in the skull as
large as ansold- fashioned penny, in
defence of his government, it should
be willing to pay him pension suffi-
cient to keep him without work; but
they are not yet so liberal with Cap
tain Wiswell.

WE are reminded, by citizen, of
certain song said to be composed and
sung by gentlemen now prominent in
Democratic politics in Delaware. Our
memory Is not good, put we can certify
that these "free trade" enthusiasts
once Joined their voices in making
melody in the words:
Come. farmer boys, and sing the song
To pass the hours away,
Until the time doth roll around,
OF the election day
And then wen vote for Peter F.,
As sure as we are born
Because we know he goes foI us,
The fayif and yellow corn.
CHORUS
The yellow corn the yellow corn
The yellow, yellow corn,
Because we know he goes for us,
The tariff and yellow corn.
Citizen also suggests that slight modi-
foatioNS which experience has taught
the grand old party to make most read
lily and happily, would place this old
campaign song among the list Of avail

HOW to Reduce Your Expenses.

How to Reduce Your Expenses.
You can do it easily and you will not have
to deprive yourself Of a single comfort on
the contrary, you will enjoy life more than
ever. How can you accomplish this RESULT
Easily cut down your DOCTORS bills. When
you lose your appetite, and become bilious
and constipated, and therefore low-spirited,
don't rush off to the family physician for a
prescription, OF, on the other hand, wait until
you are sick abed before doing anything at
all; but just go to the druggists and for
twenty-five cents get supply of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets. Take them as
directed, and our word for it,your unpleasant
symptoms will disappear as if by magic, you
will have no big doctors bill to pay, aud
everybody interested (except the doctOrl viii

Both Wednesday and Thursday af-
ternoons were occupied by the fun-lOv-
ing patrons of the community in view
ing games of base ball on Milford
grounds. Wednesdays game was be-
tween the Dover and Milford clubs,
and after hOtly contested game Dover
won in score OF two to one. Both
runs made by the visiting team were
in the first and were due to the
fact that Sprogell had not got himself
in shape. As soon as he warmed up"
to it the batting ceased, and all the
efforts of the visitors were vain-they
didn't even make base hit. The run
scored by the home team was in the
seventh inning and was hard earned
one; but was all the boys were able to
get. 1t was fine game, and Scotia
decision were so plain aud square that
nobody kicked and all went along very
smoothly. Thursdays game was be-
tween the celebrated WilmingtOn's
and the Milford's. The game WAS
played with but few errors.

TWENTY boat loads of oysters were
tOwed up the MispilliOn by the tug
"Bonnie Doom" on Monday night.
These at an average of twelve bushels
each, aggregated 24O bushels; yet the
little fleet was uuloaded, sold out and
gone on another trip before twenty
four hours had passed. This immense
quantity was sold to and consumed by
the citizens of Milford, almost to an
entirety, and reckoning that these
boats make three runs per week (some
make four or five) one may form some

and then beautiful distant views of the
mountains of Harris, but pale blue shadows
on the western horizon, and Of the high peaks

would long since have filed columns OF The
