from Sharon Hill, arrived, he was quite
comfortable, and left for his home in the

Fire broke out at New Castle, in the
bending mill ofthe Delaware Iron Works
about 3,45 Tuesday afternoon and burned
with such fury that the entire plant was
threatened. The works are well equip
ped with fire apparatus, which were soon
put into service. An alarm was sounded
and the Lenape fire company, quickly
responded. Steam was gotten up on the
engine in few minutes and six streams
of water were thrown upon the burning
building.
The firemen worked with a will but
the fire had cotton such Roadway that il
was five o'clock before the flames were
gotten under control. The fire origina-
ted in the east end ofthe bending mill,
and owing to the inhammable matter
stored there, such as oil, benzine, &c,
quickly spread to the pattern room, on
the floor above. When the flames reach
ed this department, they burned with
great rapidity, and in a short time the
room and contents were completely DIES
troyed.
The loss on the building will reach So
600 and on the patterns, which were very
valuable and will be difficult to replace,
it is estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000.
1t is thought insurance will cover the
loss
The fire was cause by the explosion of
a composition of standard black and
tar, which was being used as a new de-
vice for coating the inside and outside of
red hot pipe.

The Fourth.

Just now many are wondering how
and where they will spend the Fourth
To some we make no suggestion, because
they never go away from home during
the hot weather, unless it is to the sea-
shore or mountains. To those who wish
to enjoy pleasant day, and cool one,
attend the trotting meeting at Elkton
Fair grounds. This is managed by live
young men and they have spared no
pains to make it pleasant for those who
attend. There will be large number of
races, and we understand fine string of
horses will contest for the purses offered.
Perfect order will be cardinal principal.
No intoxicated persons will be allowed
on the grounds, and, therefore, ladies
need not hesitate about attending. The
notice elsewhere shows what races may
be expected. The rate of admission is
small, and we know of no other way to
spend the Fourth so pleasantly.

Tine following taken from the
New York Mail and Express ex-
presses what an old lady thinks of
an egg for many purposes:
An egg is worth its weight in gold.
'Sposing you're warm and fan your
self or cookin' crullers and the
grease spatters up an scald you, the
white of an egg is the most soothin'
thing you can put ON it. If you're
chopin kindlins' and bark your
fingers, nothin' like egg. 'Sposin
Jim gets Job comforter. That lit
tic skin that lines the inside of an
egg shell eel do more in one day than
all the bread and milk, haxseed and
soap and sugar poultices or cob
blers wax, you could use in week.
For cleanin' your fiat irons an max
in EN- smooth use the yolk Of an
egg, and for riddln your head o
dander-well, there hain't nothin'
to compare with it. For corns and
bunions nothin' is so coolin' as the
white of an egg. For toothache it
cant be beat, while in cases of dys-
EMERY l want no other medicine.
Beaten up slightly with or without
sugar, and swallowed at one gulp, it
helps to allay the inflammation of
the stomach and the intestines, and
finally brings you around all right.
If you don't want TO drown loves
young dream in cup of muddy cof-
fee, use eggs. to clear it-and, see
you anything in the world SO good
in cases of poisonin' as the white of
an egg"

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted E?
Ifyou will remember a few years ago

known to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past So it is with nervous diseases. as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from diseased condition of the Liver

it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.

Had my attention called to deceased by
an old colored woman who informed me
that the man was sick. On finding him
he said that he had been sick for some
time and had been doctoring himself
He then asked me to get him the City

did not want to go to the hospital.
He was heavy drinker and did not take
care of himself. An hour after found
him dead. The jury returned verdict
of death of natural causes.
