For some reason the steamboats,
coming to Delaware towns along the
bayshore, have brought lots of horses
at almost every trip. There is no rea-
son why this State should not raise
every animal required by its citizens,
and especially horses. Farmers on
Neck lands should have one or two
young horses for sale every spring
and would have if they made a study
of farming and the profits of stock
raising. A colt, bred and raised on
a farm we venture to predict, does not
cost $50. His keep comes largely from
grass and coarse food, for which the
manure it makes is an ample reim-
bursement; that is, If Its owner gives
the making of manure any attention /;
for one animal will turn bedding and
food enough in one winter into ma
nure to make ten wagon loads worth
to the farmer on a crop from Sl5 to $50.
This, Of course, does not apply to the
careless farmer, with fences aud build
lngs out OF repair or 10 the man VINO
isalways grumbling thatnOthing pays.
To such men nothing does pay; be-
cause the energy they waste in grum-
bling, If applied to study Of how to
make it pay, connected with industry,
would return to them more net profits
than their present gross receipts.
Neglect, carelessness and grumbling
are the stumbling points that consume
their profits. Stock raising is more
profitable than grain growing,a and the
men living on rented farms will bear
testimony to the fact. For this rea-
son we should raise our own horses;
and not only horses, but cattle, sheep
and pork.

THE THREE HorrEsr DAYS IN Isss

In his article on 'ewhere to Spend the
Summer" in Sc,f5Ne,ss for April, Gen
Creely, chief signal officer, makes pro-
phesy as to the hottest days in the year
1883. The Detroit Journal, taking the
matter up, has offered prize Of $500 to the
person guessing correctly, before june Ist,
what the three days will be. Gen Greedy
immediately telegraphed his guess to the
paper in accord with his reason in .Sey'i6-
Ne,ss for April
A wonderful interest has been shown
throughout the West in Prof James Bald
wins paper, 'rhe Centre Of the Republic, -
in .Sc,T5ney's Magazine for April It is an
inspiring account Of the rise and progress of
the Ohio Valley, suggested by the centen-
nia1 celebration soon to take place at cincin-
nat. Prof Baldwin's account Of what has
been accomplished produces glow of pa
friotism aud makes his readers proud Of
their birthright

THE taking of shad at the creeks
mouth, or within reasonable distance
oft in any direction, should be prohib-
ited. The catch of these fish in the
creek is exceedingly small this season,
and if the practice Of heading the fish
off at the creeks mouth and not allow
ing them to enter the creek at all is
maintained, it will almost annihilate
this important food fish. OF the roe
shad that come up the creek it is esti-
mated that about one-third have oppor-
tunity to cast the spawn, and it is on
this that we must depend for the sup
ply of following years; so it is readily
perceptible that the larger the number
OF fish allowed to enter The creek, the
more abundant will be the supply.

Come to the bridal chamber, Death


Come to the mother, when she feels
For the first time, her frst-borns breath,
And thou art terrible
The untimely death which annually car
ries off thousands of human beings in the
prime of youth, is indeed terrible. The first
approach of consumption is insidious, and
the sufferer himself is the most unconscious
of its approach. One Of the most alarming
symptoms of this dread disease is, in fact, the
ineradicable hope, which turks in the heart
of the victim, preventing him from taking
timely steps to arrest the malady. That it
can be arrested in its earlier stages is beyond
question, as there are hundreds Of well-au-
thentieated cases where DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery has effected complete

TO our Friends and Patrons

We take this method of informing our
past patrons, friends and farmers gener-
ally that we have formed copartnership
for the manufacture of the brand Of Raw
Bone Super-Phosphate generally known
as JUMBO" Raw Bone Super
Phosphate. which has for some time
been manufactured by Thos. E. 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 LoAand & Davis, and which
has earned for itself widespread reputa-
ton as a successful and economical ferti-
lizer.
Our effort and aim will be 10 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 withdrawal Of their
patronage.
Fertillzing 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 a
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 i'll 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 No. 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
Maryland and vicinity for past patron
age and soliciting a continuance of the
same, we remain:

WE are informed by County Super
intendent OF Free Schools, Prof J. H.
Ward, that he has completed his cir
cult of visits to the schools in this
county, and he has also promised to
givea special report to the CHRONICLE
of the results of his labors. This re-
port will be read with interest, as the
Professor purposes to give unvarnished
facts, by criticisiug where the districts
fail to measure up to the requirements
and bestow credit where it is due, The
school question is a live issue in Del
aware, and before many more years
have passed, we expect to see radical
changes in the laws on this subject.
The school tax should be raised by the
county in some manner,as the county,
road andpoor taxes are laid, and the
amounts applied by the State pro rata.
This would result in general desire
TO operate the schools for longer periods
than Superintendent Ward has found
them open in Sussex. county.

The proceedings Of the Horticul-
tural Society of this Peninsula should
be full of interest to every fruit grower
and farmer,and when possible, its meet
ings should be participated in; for
from such gatherings emanate the pro-
gressive ideas that have built up the
farming interests ofthis great country.
That its labors are profitable, glance
at the printed proceedings Of its last
meeting will amply testify. The prac-
tieal experience of large growers with
pears, peaches and small fruits is
interesting and suggestive; while the
active properties Of commercial ma
nures and the kinds of fruits that draw
most on each, are subjects that are
discussed by able men. Copies may

The Devil Fish Described by Hugo

Is not a more tenacious monster than malaria, whether 1t takes the form of chills and fever, bilious remittent, ague cake or dumb ague. Like the octopus of the story it clasps the victim in its tenta- culae, and folds him closer and closer in horrible embrace Attacked with Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, however, it gradually relaxes it's tremendous grip.

Dyspepsla, too, and constipation, those old and remorseless enemies of the hu- man family, give ground, and are finally driven from the field by this Napoleon of remedies, tHo greatest, the purest in the family pharmacupoeia. Rheumatism sue cumbs to it, so do kidney troubles. The nerves, when overstrained, regain quiet tude and vieor by is aid, and the ability to rest tranquilly and eat with zest are increased by 1t.

ESCAPE OF A CONVICT.

Sheriff George Shute and deputy Sam Bullock, accompanied by Probate Judge E. H. Cook, left Globe on Wednesday last, with the prisoners Harry BleFins, Thomas Burns and Raphael Arvizu. Blevins and Burns were taken to Pbenlx for trial, hay ing obtalned a change of venue to Aaricopa county. ArviRu was to have gone to Yuma to serve a three years sentence in the Territorial prison for horse stealing. Upon reaching Rlver- tide, however, Arvlzh ''played roots" n the guard ny feigning necessity o retire to the brush in the imme- Hate neighborhood of the station. He vas permitted to retire and having cached the chapparel he vanished rom slght, and upon being locked for " his late custodian, his tracks we're he only visible signs discovered of his ate presence. He, however. was seen ny person near the river, whe gave he alarm, but the searchers believing that the halloo was an admonition to m unruly burro, no attention was paid to the outcry. The shackIes had been removed from Arvizu'S limbs, he having complained that they hurt his ankles; and consequently he was in a condition for expeditions traveIIng,and availing himself of his untrammeled stride he braved the river, and upon reaching an island was seen no more. The Sheriff was feeding Lis horses when Arvizu left the room.
 Deputy Sheriff Frank NJ. Hammon learned from the driver of the Globe and Riverside blackboard, that Arvizu the Mexican prisoner, who made his escape there on Wednesday, was sbackled when he left the room and managed in some way 10 free hls limbs after reaching the brush, as he was not shackled when he swan the river.

The Nogales Reserve commenting upon tine election of Rev. G. H. Adams as delegate to the Territorial Republi- can Convention, says: Preeedents show that when politics enter the front door of a preachers heart as a general thing the regulation clerical meekness and lowliness creeps out the back door. Nogales had a Methodist preacher once who tried thumping the stufing out of the bible withone hand and the Democratic party with the oth- CT but the old thing wouldn't work. It proved disastrous to the preacher.

SAN CARLOS GETS TIE PesT.

 asking me to call al his headquarters. did so, and was informed that a post
 would be built at the San Carlos Agen-
 cy, and that he had recommended the same long time ago, as had also Gen.
 Howard and others. That San Carlos
 was near. enough to protect Globe, etc.
 In vain dld l urge the uselessness of a post at the Agency, and tue great lm- portance of post at or near Globe. I used all the strong reasons conialned in one of your early letters to me, and the weaker ones suggested by my own knowledge of the surroundings. I cannot get him to recommend the post at Globe. Sc after all this long, hard work and many fair promises, we find that we have the whole War Depart ment to fight, which means simply our defeat. regret this exceedingly, but l have done my very best, and I trust | you good people will attribute my failure to no lack of interest in this fight. Another thing which somewhat initiated against us was the hard fight made by the Tonto Basin people for the building of post there. These frequent demands, especially in a time of accidental peace, has, I fear, crea- ted a very unjust suspicion in the mind of the War Department.
