Miss Hattie Bartlett, pretty and
well-known young woman, living in
West Pittstown, was removed to
the State Asylum for the Insanee at
Danville, she having become violnetly
insane on the subject of religion.
About month ago Evangelist Vat
man began revival meetings there aud
Mics Bartlett was among the first to
be converted, and since that time her
hobby has been to get away from the
wickedness of this world and nearer to
Heaven. Ia her insane eDdeavors to
do this she would climb to the top OF
tall trees in the vicinity of her home
On other occasions she would &c
miles in order to get into the attics OF
the tallest buildings.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
after being found, that she could be
induced to leave her supposed Heaven
ly places of refuge. Upon her father
and mother, who are respectable
people, refusing TO follow her steps
she termed them "deYils" and refused
to associate with them, saying she WA
afraid che would be contaminated by
their influence.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites in

ever, has proved this to be a fact and the
result is that simple remedy has been for
mulated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
at home by the patient once in two weeks.

$50 skilled hands who are paid not less than

plant, &c. The new structure which will be
commenced Immediately will be 2ooxroo
feet in measurement and three stories in

The Sussex County Debt.

A few weeks ago the Dover Index accused
the Levy Court of Sussex county of extraya.

Of that body had increased the county's debt
by about $1,000. Last week, however, the
SUSSEX Journal, good Democratic author.
ity, stated that the Indebtedness ofthe county
when auditor Boyce made his report was
$500, but that since tn en- 5000 Of this in
de5tedness had been paid, leaving S23,5oo
only as the county's debt. The Republican
majority of the Sussex Levy Court is Ger.
tainly starting well in paying off s., 900 ofthe
county's debt the FIRST six months of their
control. At the same rate Sussex would
have none of the debt that Democrats piled
up during their administration of county
finances, and the amount Of which was not
known at all three years ago. The IHde9

Hampering the Militia,
CFyom Morning Mesos ,

(FrOm Morning Ne50s
The necessity for citizen soldiery is recog.
nized in every state in the Union, not so
much for the actual public service performed
as for the moral effect that the existence of a
standing army produces The knowledge
upon the part Of the lawless that there is an
effective force behind the municipal and
country authorities, to step in when their eff
fort to preserve the peace fail, frequently
prevents disorder and blOodshed
1t is the duty of every good citizen to do
what lies in his power to encourage the men
who given their time and in many cases, their
money to build up and maintain the National
Guard. 1t is therefore very unfortunate that
some ofthe employers in Wilmingtonnot only
objected to their employees attending the
annual encampmeut, but threatened them
with discharge in the event of
their answering the company roll call
for camp duty. This is not a far-sighted
policy and is inconsistent with the public
spirit that should be displayed by those for
whose benefit the militia is in great measure
supported The employers here had a year
in which to provide for the temporary alb
sence Of those Of their employees who are en-
listed men and they could easily have done
so.
Sacrifices for the public good should be
made by all employers, and the brief annoy
ance caused by the absence ola few men has
no comparison with the personal and busi
ness sacrifices made by some of the soldiers
themselves. Anything that tends to dis
orgaize the militia, which the state has de-
cided to support, is not exactly in the line
Of good citizenship.

crops are drowned, and those that are not
are burned by the suns hot rays, upon
the mOistened and watery ground. Within
the habitations Of town, desk lids are
swollen, Libraries are mouldy, kid gloves
are ruined, and numberless multitude
of evils are entailed on the human fam
lily. Mr.. VIM. Chandler, who has been
extensively shipping berries, was obliged
to suspend picking on the last three DAYS
of last week, On Monday he again
picked and evaporated the berries. Mr..
Chandler has been doing quite we'll with
