J. w. CliftOn's sister Alice, residing at

died yesterday morning. Mrs. Bailey

Delaware friends. Her father J. B.
Conner, of FELTON,, left yesterday for

IT is difficult to divine the spirit that
animates a man (fOr the footprints and
strength required show that it was not
the work of bOys) that would deliber-
ately break off young trees at the top of
the box enclosing them, as was the case
on Monday night with two shade trees
corner South and Main streets. Where
no good can be derived and destruction
is the only result it looks like such a
person is actuated by very diabolical
spirit.
THE Harrington Sun, with a sub
scription list the editor says of 800, has
had to suspend because these, or the
most of them, have failed to pay their
subscriptions. They buy other things
the family needs and pay for them but
withhold from the publisher the small
amount due, thus crippling him or
sending him to the wall. The editor
in this case reminds them that though
the paper is dead and the obituary
written, that these little bills are alive
and will be seen after by the constable
CAPT. S. w. EVANS, residing on the
state road a mile below the "Big Oak
hung his overcoat and a blanket or
the road fence where he was working
on Wednesday afternoon. On return
ing shortly after from another part o
the field he found they were missing
immediate search revealing that pass
ing peddler who was coming to thi
town had taken them. On being cap
tured he begged piteOusly, offering
anything from his stock, but in defaul
of 5000 bail Alderman Budd commit
ted him to Dover Jail.
WE have sent out lot of bills 70
subscription after waiting as long a
could be done. A number of theu
, have been sent out before, withou
having received any response
Newspaper bills are small and easil,
, paid unless they are allowed to groN
by neglect. Where conditions ar
such under the peculiar circumstance
, of this year that the bill cannot b
! liquidated, the person can at least re
I port at this office, pay what they ca
or give some assurance of good inter
tiOns.
IN the Wilmington Teachers Inst
tute last week, DR.. N. G. Shaefft
I, gave arguments favoring belief in th
f solidity Of the centre of the earth, th
absence Of twilight and water at tn
o moon, which he called the dead bod
! Of the universe, and that the laws {
! nature decree the same dryness in fui
ure for the earth. 1t will be hard fC
DIR. Schaeffer to make much impTessio
on the people after the floods of tn
a year, in fastening the belief that tn
J. earth will ever be without mOistul
y like the moon. 1t will be time enoug
T to think about that when we have
n taste of really dry weather. TT
., learned doctor goes on. to TemaT
:; about the seasons! "In regard to Il
l., seasons the earth is nearer the sun
3; winter and farther away in Il
]. summer. In about 10000 years Il
e; north pole will be towards the 81
"a when we are nearest it and SUNNI
j; will be hotter than it is now when v
are farthest from the sun the nor
n pole will turn away from the sun al
a winter will be colder"
