Worrying.

just as we were going to press on
Tuesday our engine refused to work. We
tried several ways TO get steam up, but
no good At last we secured an engine
and boiler, moved it some distance, set it
up in the back yard, and before midnight
had on steam. On Wednesday, steam
connection was made with the engine in
our office and before dinner hour WAS at
press. We consider this pretty quick
work. Just now we are working under
great difficulties. In the first place the
engine being on the ground floor and the
press on the second makes it bad
The second trouble j., the gentleman
who owns the building wherein we are
located thinks we are injuring his prop
erty, and some few disinterested persons
try to make him believe we are. This
is all wrong. We are careful, and take
as much care of the property as though
it belonged to ny.
What we want and must have is a
building suitable for printing Office
Won't several moneyed men erect us
a building, SO that we can become perma-
nently located We are tired of being
pestcred. The time has come when d
move must be made Any way that We
can get building we would gladly ac
cept the terms.

A gentlemen who has recently made
tour through Kent county says he was
surprised at the size of several families
that came under his notice. In Mispil-
lion hundred, he says lives Alexander
Simpson, aged SO years, with his wife,
aged 45 years, who has borne him nine
teen children. of that number fourteen
are still living, six boys and eight girls.
Reuben Ross, who lives in the same
hundred, is the father of seventeen
children by the same mother. Philema
Scotch of West Dover hundred has had
twenty-four children by three wives.
The janitor of the Kent county court
house, whose name The Morning Ncus
informant could not recall, has eighteen
children.-NeWS.

January 26th was tie 4Sth anniversary
of Mr.. Lewis McCo rmick's birthday His
wife got up surprise dinner for ~
O'Clock sharp, but TO her surprise he got
home at / :30, before the guests arrived.
From the appearance Of things he began
to smell a rat lie very quietly searched
the house, but finding no one, sat down
in wonderment. In the meantime Elder
T. b. Knowles and wife, DR. Whist er and
wife, Mr.. John NJ. Singles and wife, and
Miss Annie Mccormick nois essly got
into the parlor. Mrs. Singles accustom-
ed to being there went out and conduct
ed him in. 1t was enjoyable to see his
little sharp eyes pecfins around with
amazement to know how all was gotten
up in such quietness. Immediately all
were ushered to table apparently
grooming under its weight with the good
thing to satisfy the inner man, but soon
it was lightened Of its burden. The
Doctor assisting in the digestion Of the
food with his witty and mischevous eX-
pressions. The afternoon was spent
pleasantly
Sleighing has been fine, and all that
had an opportunity of enjoying it avail

Here is few locals and good bit of
gossip which send either for publica-
ton or the waste basket.
While the sleighing lasts the young
folks enjoy themselves.
Mrs. Anna Morrison has returned
home after an extended visit to friends
in Wilmington.
Miss Fannie Carson has returned to
Philadelphia after brief visit to friends
here.
One of the cold nights last week calf

A leap year party was given on Friday
evening of last week at the residence of
Mr.. John McKane, under the supervis-
ion of the ladies. About IS persons were
present and lovers of dancing certainly
enjoyed themselves. There were pres
ent guests from Philadelphia, New York,
Newark, and this vicinity. Refresh
merhs were served in abundance, and as
is always the case, everybody left MIR.
McKane's large and commodi0us parlors
well-pleased with their evenings fun,
and hoping to have the pleasure of re-
turning frequently on such occasions
We all feel deeply indebted to the
three young ladies who planned and SO
elegantly managed this party.
4 young man who went TO engage his
lady to go to party, was just leaving
when he heard noise and on looking
around discovered he just had time
enough to reach his sleigh and drive off
before the old lady with an iron spoon
annihialed him
Some persons are queer just because
they do not happen to be invited to par
ties they run around and tell tales and
try to make old folks keep their children
home.
Parties seem to be all the iage- On
Thursday of last week our lads and lasses
gathered ut John Warrens and spent Il
very pleasant evening. On Saturday
evening the residence Of Mr.. L. stray
horn was the scene of enjoyment. or
Monday evening party was held on
Iron Hill. On Tuesday evening the res
idence of VIM. Maxwell was visited and
a pleasant evening spent. Refreshments
with hot coffee and sandwiches were
served about II o'clock. There are to b'
several more parties in the near future.
Two young men took ladies out sleigh

other one in the parlorwith light turnec

ON THE SNOW.

While the sleighers enjoyed them
selves highly on Friday and Saturday
afternoons, yet it was not until Monday
afternoon that the fun began in real earn
est, and from half past two o'clock until
nearly shutdown, the trials of speed were
fast and furious.
On Friday DR.. Ulrich easily cleaned up
the street with his sorrel stallion, and
still reserved his little mare which is
much faster. We are sorry to say owing
to previous engagements the Doctor
could not be here on Monday to hold
the honors from the Elkton horses.
Monday afternoon Elkton against New
ark, was plainly written on the slate and
the many spectators went wild in glee
over their favorites. r. j. Morrison
handled Ida May splendidly, and many
seemed especially pleased with that
mares performance. Then of the Elk
ton gentlemen came Col. l. d. Davis back
of small bay PAGER. 1t was some time
before the boys could find out who the
Colonel was, but they finally did, and
they Immediately realized that as a side
wheeler he was justly entitled to the
name of little champion. The Colonel
has just consideration for those whom he
contested. When he passes fellow he
always waits for him, and this he could
easily do last Monday. r. t, G. Crouch
was first reigning Veloch, whose speedy
action was especially admired. Then,
perhaps to better illustrate that he was
as good as the people, he got up back of
that reliable side-wheeler, Sagwa. lie
had competition from all sides, and most
worthy ones, too, but the majority Of
them lacked foot" The brushes be-
tween all the trotters was pretty and ex-
citing and elected much cheering from
spectators that thronged the side walks
Some of our lawyer friends with their
friends, from Elkton, were ready, it is
said, to wager large amounts on their
favorites. Not only the above named
horses, but such others as Walkers fast

The Mccullough Iron Company has
notified its employees at the Westamwell
rolling mills where for several decades
the bar iron prepared at the North East
works of the company has been made in
to sheet iron, that the mills will be clos
ed indefinitely on February Goth. The
Westamwel mills were constructed
about 1854 by the company, and after
wards sold to f. A. Harvey, who, in 1867
sold them again to the company, in
which he is a heavy stakeholder. Twen-
" men have been working at the West
amwell mills which are situated about
four miles from this place. About hail
ofthe number will be employed at North
East where the company intends oper-
ating the Shannon mill which has been
closed for year, and thus save hauling
and freight charges. 1t is said that the
works at Westamwell will be sold.
