How Newark Is Located,

Perhaps but few persons outside Of
Newark understand how this beautiful
town is situated and what advantages it
has over other towns. Not going into
geographical detail about what degrees
and longitude we lay under, but it is
that particular part of Delaware where
sickness is hardly known, and railroads
bound the town on every side. This is
the news we want mon Who are looking
for healty location, Valuable railroad
facilities, to know These advantages
have never been advertised, and we
would like to send 100000 copies Of
THE LEDGER to different parts of the
world and let men know our valuable
location. We could enumerate columns
about our beautiful town, but as the
above is only a pointer, we shall only
add that there is no town any where that
has the same railroad facilities.
The following statement is made up
from the time tables of the respective
railroads named showing the rare facili-
ties which citizens of this town enjoy for
intercourse with the East, West, North
and South.
On Phila., Wilmington & Baltimore,
(main line) there are sixteen arrivals
and departures. The same road at New
ark Centre, six trains, daily.
Phila., Wilmington, and Baltimore,
connecting with Delaware Railroad and
Delaware City, four trains.
Newark and Pomeroy Road four trains.
On the B. & o., IA trains daily.
There are in all forty-eight trains
stopping and leaving this town every
day. This is about on an average of
two trains an hour. How is this for
railroad facilities? Can it be surpassed?
We guess not Newark is bound to
come forward, in spite of opposition, if
there be any.

"All Nations Witnesses. -
THE WONDERFUL MISTAKES OF SCIENTISTS
AND EDUCATORS.

prove all things" seems to be the
guiding maxim of the people of this age.
This would be all right, were it not for
the "know-alls" in every community,
who are sure that every introducer of
new idea is "crank," and that every
new invention is utterly impracticable."
The astonishing fact is that in this class
educated men and scientists are found.
In the days of George Stephenson, the
perfector of the locomotive engine, the
scientists proved conclusively that rail
way train could never be driven by steam
power successfully without peril but the
rushing express trains all over the world
show how mistaken they were. There
went up gufIaw of laughter at Profess
ors Morse's proposition to make the
lightning of heaven his errand boy, and
it was proved conclusively that thething
could never be done but now all the
news of the wide world by Associated
Press, put in your hands every morning
and night, has made all nations witness
es.
Rev. DIR. Talmage in one of his SER
mons says "Iften men should come TO
you when you are sick with APPALLING
sickness, and say they had the same
sickness and took a certain medicine, and
it cured them, you would probably take
it. Now suppose ten other men should
come up ard say, ave don't believe that
there IS anything in that medicine"
"Well, l say, "haye you tried it? "No ]
never tried it but don't believe there
is anything in it," OF course you dis
credit their testimony. The sceptic may
come and say "There is nopower in your
religion" "Have you ever tried it?"
'No, no." "Then avaunt !" Let me
take the testimony of the millions of
souls that have been converted to God,
and comforted in trial, and solaccd in the
last hour. We will take their testimony
as they cry ave are Witnesses
The proprietors of Warmers safe cure
have received over 10000 voluntary tes-
timonials to the efficacy of that medicine.
These have come from almost every civ
ilized country, and they may fairly claim
"it has made all nations Witnesses"
The evidence comes from all classes.

Robson late surgeon in the English navy
and DIR. Wilson, editor Of Health" Of
London, Eng; and clergymen OF the
highest reputation like Rev. DIR. Rankin,

This test is very valuable one in

to ascertain if possible, which of the var

The results so far substitutes the claim
made by breeders of Holstein-Friesians
that they are very superior beef pro-
ducers

to-day ahead of all other breeds. The

stein-Friesians have done Aggie H.,

% Ozs., in ninety consecutive days. We
have no record Oft COW of any other
breed with such record. She also gave
as 4 two-year old l7,746 lbs, ozs., of
milk in one year. Clothilde gave 26,02l
b.., > ozs., Of milk in one year and made
- lbs. 2 ozs. of butter in seven days.
Cluthilds won first prize over all breeds

ton. Thirty-seven cows and heifers have

cludes twenty-threc mature COWS, nine
four years olds, two ihree-year old, and
three two-year old. These COWS are of
the Aaggie, Aegis, Netherland, Arts, and
ClOthiide families. Thrty-four of this
herd, -two-year old heifers-average
2,465 lbs. 7oz., of milk in one year. /
could name many more herds of other
breeders of lIolsten-Frieisian but think
this enough to show their very great SUI
periority over all other breeds of cattle as
the best milk, butter and beef producers
therefore, they are the most valuable
kind of cattle for the farmer.

cattle is no longer doubted. They are
also second TO none as beef producers,
both as to size and quality, as the very
careful tests now going on at the Agricul-

ject of which was to get good auerdge
animals of the various breeds; feed and
care for them well, and erdctly alike, save
in amount of food, and see how they
would respond in growth and flesh "
The cattle selected were lIolstein- Erie
slams, Shorthorns, Galloways (the polled
or mooly), and Jerseys, two of each, one
Hereford and one Devon. A complete
record of food consumed, daily rations,
monthly weights, and gains for seven
months, ending October 10th, 1887, were
kept with the following result:
The two Holstein-Friesians made the
largest gain per day in pounds for given
time, and and of them the largest pei
day since birth of the lot, 2.03 pounds
per day being the gain. For one month
