FREDERICA.

CThe following letter was written last week, bnt
being storm bound arrived too late for publica-
ton. Ed
Never in the history of the oldest inhabi-
tant of this town has there been such all i'm
mense snow storm as that Of last Monday
and Tuesday For two days we were shut
in from all the news of the outside world ex-
cept what little could be learned by tele-
phone. Mr.. Spurry who carries the mail
from this place made an effort to get to Eel
ton but had not gone far when he discovered
that the roads were impossible and was com
PEELED to return finding banks of snow in
some places where it had drifted five or six
feet high He succeeded in reaching Eel
ton on horseback, Wednesday, and bring
ing the mail, by going through the fields.
On Monday John c. Baker, a farmer living
about three miles north of this town started
here on horseback. The wind was blowing
very hard and his horse in plungiug through
binding snow had fallen down several times
and when within mile from town was COM
pletely exhausted with ice and snow frozen
to him an inch thick. Mr.. Baker dismount-
ed and walked the balance of the way, leav-
ing his horse under a shed which was fortu-
nately near by, where lie gave him all the
attention he could later in the day.
Mary Harris, a colored woman seventy
years Of age was found dead Wednesday
morning at her home about one mile west of
this town The supposition is that she was
frozen to death, as there was no wood or fire
in the house. The coroner will hold an in
quest.
Our town election was held on Monday
the 5th inst, and the following gentlemen
were elected commissioners z W. Thomas,
Nathan Spurry, W. H. Mason, r r.
Wingate and Joshua Torbort. All except
the last named have been reelected at each
annual meeting for the past three years.
Mrs. Elizabeth Townsend vino has been
under the medical care of DR.. A. Whiteley

Mrs. Harry McKnitt has been on the sick
list for the past week.
Mr.. r H. Lowber has returned from
Philadelphia where he has been for the past
seven weeks.

1T is reported that Sussex county is
about to pay S., 900 other debt. and that
herorders are met without delay. This
condition of affairs is certainly satis-
flying to contemplate, in comparison
with the record of the past. Credit
foT this is due to infusing business
principles and common sense into the
Levy Court. Wild allowances are now
rarely made, and bills undergo strict
examination. Then the county Off
GERS are disposed to reduce their bills
to the minimum, INSTEAD ofattempting
to gouge every cent from the treasury
possible as heretofore. If the method
of working public roads by pillow aud
road scraDers were generally adopted,
we would have better thoroughfares
and the county would save thousands
of dollars. This present Levy Court is
disposed to buy more road machines,
and in this expenditure we think it
wise.

COMMUNICATION.
MILTON.

Several Of our young men left this week to
seek for city employment It is said that
there are many sad hearts among the fair
ones, since this last exodus. Our postmas-
ter will now undoubtedly be called upon to
cancel larger number of stamps than usual,
on account of these fresh departures One
of our business ladies offers to sell tear re-
eeivers at reduced rates while these tender
memories are kept alive.
Reaper death has been busy for the past
week near town. Mr.. Elisha Holland died
after brief illness last Saturday morning.
His funeral was held at Whites Chapel

charge ofthe services. Judge Holland, son
Of the deceased was in nattendance. Mrs. las.

have runaway in south Milton this morn
ing. The team started from the front Of
Wiley & Virden's and ran down Mill street
aud up Chestnut when it was stopped near the
public school building. No damage was
done except the loss of few nuts, cakes, sc.
The ever alert town boy was soon around
with hands, pockets and mouth full of good
les. The boys do not wish Mr. G. any harm
but they will not object to scattering of
nic-nacs every day.
The Oldest inhabitant says the blizzard OF
last week was the severeste ever known in this
section. The roads are still blockaded in
places with immense snow banks. It is to
be hoped that the warm rains Of this week
may open the way for all kinds Of travelling.

THE CENTURY.


Mr.. Kennan's Siberian papers, illustrated
by Mr.. c. A. Frost, who accompanied Mr.
Kennan on his trip through Asiatic Russia,
will begin in the May Century. Their ap-
pearance has been deferred on account Of
the authors desire to group in preliminary
papers-the last Of which will be in the April
CeHfH'J'-an account Of the conditions and
events in Russia directly related to the exile
system. This system is now to be minutely
described and deliberately pictured; and by
way Of preface to the first illustrated paper
Mr.. Kenuan will, in a brief statement.
answer the question as to how he came to
enter upon his arduous and somewhat peri
lous investigations, and why he and his COM
panion were accorded such extraordinary
facilities by the Russian Government itself
In the April CeHfN,y Mr. Kenuan will write
Of "The Russian Penal Code"

HARPER,s MAGAZINE.

The prejudice against the regular army
III this country has long been due in part to
the notion that after leaving West Point
our gallant lieutenants and captains spend
their lives, first, in flirting and dancing, and,
later on, in lobbying at the capital for pro-
motion, and for fat places in the War De-
partment, on military boards, or at agreeable
army-posts. This is a mistaken idea, as a
persual of Captain Charles Kings article in
HatPe5'S Magazine for April entitled
The Leavenworth School," will show.
Infantry and cavalry officers are not through
with work after leaving West Point It is
the lot of many of them later to continue
their education on a larger scale at the Leav-
enworth School in Kansas, where they study
military tactics of all kinds, with a regiment
of men for their unit That life is not all flirt-
ing or dancing or posing or lobbying. It
is hard work, but beneficial, as we should
surely see if the country should get into war
Meanwhile, it might be just as well for crit
les and censors of the army to modify their
remarks about lives of Incidence aud use
lessness, as is intimated by the tone of Cap
tain Kings article. There are many excel
lent illustrations, some of them full pages,
scattered through this article, by R. F. Zog-
baum, and in his best style.

Are YOU respOnsible>

PHILADELPHIA. Monday, Mar I9. 1888.
Are you responsible?
advertising is a sort of
by word. The reproach
"Only an advertisement was
and to many still is a complete
condemnation Of business adj
dresses to the public. The
Hebrew King and Poet was
incorrect in his hasty conclu-
sion that "All men are liars"
An you also err if you put all
advertising in the same limbo.
But still the Indictment Of
false witness will hold against
much advertising, 1t wouldn't
be so if every body we're care
ful to compare statement and
fact. Therefore, if you con
demn, stop and think whether
you have always been careful
to discredit lying and encourage
truth in advertising.
Commercial literature in ad-
vertising is too great a force in
modern life to be ignored. You
can neither evade the fact nor
your own relation to it. 1t has
inAuenceand makes impression
whether you will or not.
Behind the advertising
scenes you may see strange
statements; Thousands ofI
dozens or pieces or yards,when
the total stock at command is
only scores or hundreds; prices
reduced, when the process of
reduction is to open new goods
and mark two prices at the
same time, a high price above, |
a lower one beneath it; to state
a value as normal and with a |
reduced price, when all the time
the market has ruled as low or
lower than the so-called reduc-
ton; and so on through devious
and dubious statement in
scores Of forms.
This sort of thing only lives
by encouragement. They that
encourage share the response
Dility. You may soon find
the truth-tellers if you care to.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING

A well cooked dinner is just as much a
proof Of the superior refinement and culture
Of the individual as any intellectual task
The difference between a family of healthy
children and a family of sickly children,
the difference between despondency and
hope often lies in the hands Of the cook
The entire life is sometimes wrecked by i'll
health, and health is often wrecked by
poorly cooked food or poorly selected food
or some ignorance Of a fundamental law of
food supply. 1t is not enough to supply
plain food" if this means a monotonous
diet Of bread aud butter, meat and potatoes.
There are other articles that offer variety,
just as inexpensive It is a housekeeper's
duty to see that there is a variety on her
table. A housewife has no reason to scorn
her work because it is not intellectual. It is
senseless for her TO neglect her mission at
home as of minor importance. No house
keeper can provide the proper food and
variety of it without giving fully one-half
her time to the task and the most valuable
aid in every department Of we'll regulated
home that we know of is that very practical

LITERATURE
The Library Magazine for March comes
out in new dress which is highly credita-
Bile. It is certainly very liberal dollars
worth of literature, the near $500 pages per
annum which this Magazine gives 70 its sub
seribers. Those who see it are not surprised
at such emphatic endorsements as given, for
example, by Prof Perry of Williams Col
lege, in a recent letter to the publisher; II

THAT our patent laws need a thor
ough revision, the decision of the SUI
preme Court in the Bell Telephone
suits this week furnishes ample testl-
mOny. Every mans labor, of either
mind or body, is entitled to ample re-
ward and protection; but when the
laws of any country operate to make
the result of such labor, that partakes
Ofalmost the comforts and necessities
of the business world, a source of ex-
horbitant revenue to fabulously
wealthy stockholders in monopoly
for twenty years, such laws initiate
against public interest. In less than
ten years all ofthe patents of any value
have yielded millions annually to the
controllers, and as the average busi-
ness lifetime of one individual rarely
extends over fifteen years, it is seldom
that an invention of one generation is
of any use without almost prOhibitive
tolls to those living at the time it
comes into general use. Ten years is
time enough to protect such patents as
sewing machines, telephones, and
things of similar nature.

LIQUOR dealers and saloon keepers
Of Philadelphia are in hard rows for
them to get out Of Under the new
high license law the customary appli-
cation Of six thousand for license has
been reduced TO less than three thous-
and, and even this number has been
reduced by the Judges of the License
Court fifty per cent. This result in a
great city like Philadelphia, exceeds
the most tsangulne expectations of the
anti-saloon people. This great change
for the better will give the Quaker
City a more savory reputation than it
has enjoyed for several years past. In
reaching their decisions the judges
closely questioned the applicant as to
their past Observance of the laws
especially the Sunday law. Where
the record was not clear, the applica-
tion was refused. The law under
which the License Court of Philadel-
phia acts, is very stringent; and after
June next the lovers of law and order
will not only have less saloons to con-
tend against, but will have the men
who have paid the high license to as
sist them in seeing that the law is en-
forced. Delaware could well afford to
try the high license law, and we nope
that the temperance people instead Of
aiming at the impossible-prohibition
will bend their energies towards the
adoption Of this powerful lever for re-
form,

THE meeting of the Board of Trus-
tees of Delaware College which is to
be held next Tuesdays full of impor-
tance to thepeOple of Delaware; mas
much as it will then establish the
Agricultural Experimental Station,
which is provided for by the general
government in each State. The far
mers of Delaware want the station
located in Kent county, and as its
results will mainly be beneficial to
the interests of Kent and Sussex cOun-
ties,it would appear to be good policy
to place it centrally. Unfortunately
the lawyer-dOctOr-politician element
predOminates, and it is odds in favor
of its location at Newark. Governor
Biggs is an active political element in
the question, and an effort is being
made to bring this important step in
favor of agricultural interests into
politics We hope that the Trustees
will rise above petty things and spend
the $4,000 annually given by the
United States Government in wise
manner, and for the legitimate pur-
poses for which it is given. There
has been enough "white-washing'
done in attempting to cover up the
shortcomings ofDelaware College,and
the people don't care to see this money
poured down the same rat-hole.
