The Harrington SIN has made it,
last issue under its present manage
ment. and in its official notice of the
same, editor Mears Gays that its short
life was due to want of patronage and
prompt payment of subscriptions.
This is the same old story that gener-
ally results when paper larger than
the town is attempted. Harrington
would at one time have supported
well edited six column paper, and its
publisher could have done fair Job
printing trade; but the mistake was
made when an eight column paper
was attempted. The country tribu-
tary to Harrington is poor, aud the
business was not there for the SIN to
draw from.

FROM all parts of the great West be-
yond the Mississippi river and east o,
the Rocky mountains, reports of terri.
bic billiards of cold and snow have
been telegraphed east this week. In
New Mexico, Kansas, and even in
Texas, thousands OF cattle were frozen
and probably a score of human lives
lost. From points in Kentucky, the
thermometer was reported as low a.
two degrees above zero. From gem
eral indications, we may expect some
cold weather here this month.

Apy observer who has frequented q
Delaware court room while court was
in session, has noted the absence of an
official stenographer. Itis almost mar
velOus that the prosecution or defence
are able to follow the testimony as ac-
curately as they do; but the main
point is in the great risk that iesti-
mony delivered in cases where it is
vital may be stricken down by sudden
death. A witness testimony recorded
by stenographer as it was given,
would prevent any dispute as to what
he did, or did not say, and would be
another safeguard against perjury.
Delaware certainly needs a court stem
Ographer, and the extra allowance of
five dollars per day to the judges for
each day they sit, would have been
better spent in paying for first-class
stenographer.

That Little Tickling

In your throat, which makes you cough once
in while and keeps you constantly clearing
your throat, arises from catarTh, and as
catarrh is a constitutional disease the ordi-
nary cough medicines all fail to hit the spot.
What you need is constitutional remedy
like Hoods Sarsapariila. Many people who
have taken thismedicine forscrofnla. dyspep-
sia, loss ofappetite, and other troubles, haYe
been surprised that it should cure this
troublesome cough. But to know the
actual cause of the cough is to solve the
mystery Many causes Of consumption can
be traced back to the neglect of some such
slight affection as this Consumption can be
controlled in its early stages, and the effect
of Hoods Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood
building upthe general health, and 'expell-
ing the scrofulous faint which is the cause
of catarrh and consumption, has restored to
perfect health many persons on whom this
dreaded disease seemed to have firm hold.
