NEWS AND NOTES.

A man who lives near Starke, Fla,
had chickens stolen from him until at
last only an old rooster was left. Hav-
ing a chance to buy bald eagle that
had been wounded in the wing, he sub
stituted the bird for the rooster in the
fowl house and watch, d for results.
One night one of his sable neighbors
entered the hennery, grabbed the eagle
and left. 1t was not long before pro
lOnged Oh, Laval was heard in the
direction of the theft path, and the
following morning an ole VirgiDny

cabin with one eye nearly out, under

They Ought to Report.

RecorderJ. P. Morris requests us to call
the attention ofministers, doctors and under
takers to the law which requires them TO re-
port marriages, births and deaths that come
under their notice. Itis necessary that theiI
reports be made in order that the Secretary
of the State Board of Health may gather
important statistics. That officer writes Re.
corder Morris that not over fifty per cent. oi
the births, marriages and deaths that occur
in Sussex are reported. The doctors are re-
quired to report the births, the ministers the
marriages, and the uudertakers the deaths.
They get fve cents for each name reported,
and there is a penalty of S5 for each neglect
of duty. They are required to report every
quarter State pride, ifnothing else, should
prompt them to make these reports. The
information is ofgreat use to the State.

Open Grange Meeting.
'ABoL1sHlNa DIVISION FENCES.
PEACH YELLOws.


At an open meeting of Milford
Grange on Saturday afternoon last
cussion was had upon important meas
ures now pending before the Legisla-
ture. The first subject discussed was
that of division fences" John J. Rosa
said that fabulous sums of money are
wasted in fences, and undertook to
demonstrate that the maintenance of
division fences is hardship TO many
men who are not stock raisers, in
fencing against other peoples stock
He thought that popular prejudice
against the enactment of bill abol-
ishing fences, would be removed by a
more thorough defamation of knowl-
edge of the advantages of the soiling
system.
Mr.. Hydorn eOncurred with Mr..
Rosa.
Mr.. William P. Corsa thought the
bill grand good thing for the State;
but was inclined to believe that the
measure is little ahead of the times
for Delaware. A popular education
of the public mind must be first had
that will demonstrate the advantages
of the soiling system before such
statute could be put into force in Del
aware.
Representative Sackett and Hyn-
son were present and both agreed that
fencing is expensive; but they evil
IDENTIFY differ on the subject per force
of occupation. Mr.. Sackett is a fruit
grower and needs no fences; while Mr..
Hynson is grain grower and stock
raiser, and for grazing must have fences
yet under the soiling system was n OF
prepared to say just what the State
could best afford.
A discussion on ''peach yellows"
was started by the reading of the law
now in force in Michigan touching
this subject, by VIM. p. Corsa, who
followed the reading by speech set
ting forth its advantages; how it was in
troduced into that State and its results.
Mr. Sackett considered the measure
good one; but thought it would be
impossible to pass the law to effect the
entire State. as it would practically
wipe out the orchards of New Castle
and the upper part of Kent counties
He thought an Imaginary line would
have to be drawn across the State, at,
or about Frederica.
Mr.. David Coverdale rolled a neat
little ball of common sense into the
discussion. by his plain, bluff argu-
ment. He said that he did not believe
in any line, imaginary or otherwise.
The "yellows", and he had had a wide
observation in travelling over the PEN
insula. did not spread by cOntig-
uity. The disease jumped twenty miles
A. often as it moved twenty feet, and
without apparent cause. If any law
was to be made, he was in favor of a
radical measure. He had no sympa-
thy for the man who would jeopardize
healthy peach trees Of his own, or his
neighbors, for the sake Of getting a
half bushel Of wOrmy, prematured
peac6es, by letting the diseased tree
/ remain
VIM. T. Case, OF FELTON,, wanted no
class legislation Ifsussex alone was
to be protected, where were the large
peach growers Of lower Kent county

Half Fare TO Washington.

For the accommodation of all who desire
to witness the Inauguration of President
elect Harrison the B. & o. r. R. will sell
excursion tickets to Washington from all
points on its line at one fare for the round
"trip. Tickets will be sold March Ist to 4th,
inclusive, and will be valid for return passage
until March 9TH, inclusive. The B, & o. is
the shortest and most direct route to Wash
ington from all points touched by its lines.
1t has more track and yard room at Washing
ton than any other road, and consequently
more facilities for the prompt movement Of
trains and the expeditions handling ofal large
passenger business than any other line.
The B. & o. handled an immense passen-
ger traffic at the Inauguration of President
Cleveland, without delay and without injury
to a single passenger.
Its facilities have been greatly augme nted
since that time, and it is in position to give
more satisfactory service than any line touch

ON THE PENINSULA.

The Experimental Station at Newark, Del,
at present is purchasing seeds at diienent
localities in the two lower counties, to be
tested at Newark, in order to ascertain
whether the large seed dealers were furnish
ing the local dealers with fresh or stale seeds.
Nearly all the tests of small fruits and vege-
tables will be made in Kent and Sussex in
the spring.
Now it begins to be whispered about that
this or that man would make good governor
next time. There are many men in the
State who would fill the position with honor
to themselves and benefit to the State. 1t is
conceded, however, that he will come from
either Kent or Sussex county. In Kent the
Republicans have talked of. H. Hoffecker
and A. L. Hudson, of Smyrna, both excel
lent men A. B. Richardson, of Dover, who
IS sans benref sans yeproche, and D. P. Bar
nard, the very efficient secretary Of the State
Fair Association. In the same county the
Democrats have a man equal in ability aud
integrity to any of these gentlemen in the
person Of Caleb Pennewill. Sussex has her
