On Tree Planting.

AT the State Normal school on Monday
Mr.. B. g. Northrop made sensible talk
ON the observance of "Arbor Day" and
the Importance of tree planting. Among
other things he said: "Arbor Day was
first celebrated by Nebraska seventeen
years ago. On that day $4,000, 600 trees
were planted and COS, 10000 are now
growing, and the State has been made
habitable and hospItable by the planting
ThirSy-four States now observe the day
and New York will shortly celebrate it's
first Arbor Day. Millions of trees have
been planted throughout the Northwest,
roadsides are lined and the villages filled
with trees. grew up under spreading
boughs planted by my mother. Trees are
the grandest product of nature; study
their habits and love them and you can't
help wanting to plant them. 1t is to the
advantage of the student to study nature
and he should observe in the trees six
distinct marks, bark, leaves, flowers,
fruit, form and angles. The student
should know woods in his school-room by
their grains. Arbor Day should be one
of social enjoyments. 1t is an occasion
tCc recitations, exercises and patriotic
sentiments. You, as future teachers,
should instruct your pupils as to the nee
essity, beauty and knowledge in tree
,,la II 10 e.,
tree planting in large cities, but there is
always room to plant shrub or vine to
beautify the homes. A nation is known
by it's homes. The wigwam of the Indian
tells how he lives. The home should be
filled with sunshine and surrounded with
natures richest hues. l think the jap
anese ivy one of the best vines. 1t is
rapid grower, but must be gwen a rich
soil, and not the earth thrown from the
cellar while the foundation were beng
dug. 1t grows with firm, fiat pod, and
building nor injure the mortar. 1t will
grow on wood, but is not partial to fresh
paint. The vine has deep garniture
and the leaves overlap like shingles.
Washington Irving says: There is some-
thing nobly simple and pure in taste
for trees There is grandeur of thought
in this heroic line of husbandry. VIM.
Cullen Bryant planted rows of trees at
his home, and Scott of Abbotsford said:
Every tree, shrub and vine owes it's be-
ing to me, and tree once planted will
keep on growing when you are asleep
Webster advocated the planting of trees
on the dunes of Cape Cod. H. G. Russell
of Rhode Island, has reclaimed three
hundred acres of sand by planting trees.
A hundred thousand acres of dunes on
the Bay of Biscay were reclaimed by
Bremontier, which now yield France
hundred and thirty thousand francs yearly.
A bronz statue of Ceremonies stands in
the centre of the forests he planted" Mr..
Northrop is of the opinion that the poor
tobacco lands of Maryland can be re-
claimed by planting them with trees, and
that the most barren soils can be fertili-
zed in this way.

A Displeased Congregation.

The members of Bethel Nj. Z. Church
at Pivot Bridge, Cecil County, are dis
satisfied with the action of the Whining
ton Conference in removing Rev. Asbury
Burke from Bethel and Glasgow charge
and appointing Rev. Mr.. Hammersey, in
his place. The official members of the
church held meeting soon after the ad
journment of conference and adopted res
olutions to the effect that they wanted
Mr.. Burke aud not Mr.. Hammersley. Eff
forts were made to persuade Presiding
Elder Murray to arrange so that Mr..
Burke could continue at Bethe,ss-s with
out avail.
Mr.. Burke preached his farewell SER
mon on Sunday morning in which he ad-
vised the congregation to accept the
choice of the conference and accord him
hearty welcome. The congregation was
not disposed to act on this advice, how
ever, and meeting held after service the
resolutions adopted during the past week
were endorsed
Mr.. Sewall Biggs, a member of the
church, who is a brother of Governor
BENZ. F. Biggs of Delaware, went to
Dover on Tuesday, and In company with
the Governor and Elk United States Sem
ator Salisbury called on Presiding Elder
John A. B. Wilson to whose district Mr..
Burke was sent and requested his release
Notwithstanding the solicitations of these
distinguished gentlemen the presiding
elder who is noted for having a will of
his own, and strong one at that, refused
to make the change.
Mr. Burke like loyal Methodist
preacher left on Wednesday for his new
appointment. He did all in his power to
smooth the way for the new pastor at
Bethel. The congregation at Glasgow,
although it made no protest against the
action of the conference wanted Mr.
Burke returned, all the members having
signed petition previous to conference
to this effect. Mr.. Burke who is a very
energetic aud popular young Clergyman
was only admitted to the Wilmington
Conference three years ago when it met
at Elkton. He served his first year on
Elk Neck Circuit where he was very
much liked. He had been stationed at
Bethel and Glasgow for the past two
years. Rev. Mr.. Hammersley has been
located at Chester, Del, near Whining
ton. He was formerly on Charlestown
circuit, in this county, is a brother of
Mrs. Rev. Chas. Hill of Elkson, and has
many friends in this county. The situa-
ton is unfortunate and places Mr.. Ham
mersley, who is very estimabe Chris
tian gentleman, in very unpleasant pc
sition. His assignment to Bethel is not
his own act, fact which his brethren
should not forget.

Mr.. Ricketts, INDICATED.

We stated the fact last week of the
arrest of Mr.. Robert W. Ricketts, in Phil
adelphia upon trumped up charge of
embezzlement by man named Liugle,
who as a coal dealer in that city had
transactions in the nature of partner
ship with the former The case was heard
on Wednesday last and Mr.. Ricketts, dis,
charged thoroughly indicated, the hear
ing of the case consuming exactly ten
minutes. His friends are now urging him
to bring suit for malicious arrest against
Jingle and if it turns out that he has any
property with which to pay damages he
may have Suit on his hands that will
prove troublesome. To arrest man OF
good character upon a charge of embez
element for so petty sum as 50, or al
most $40, and then make no case against
him, should cost the prosecutor some
thing.

ArbOr Day-NOtice to Teachers.

ArbOr Day-NOtice to Teachers.
AS number of teachers of the county
have inquired in regard to Arbor Day, as
to whether it is holiday for the public
schools. After consultation among the
School Commissioners, without any for
NAL action, the following conclusion was
arrived at; that while it is not general
holiday, the School Commissioners would
encourage in every way, the identifying
of the school grounds by planting trees
and shrubbery around the school houses,
aud for that purpose, would fully grant a
part of the day, so that the pupils under
the various teachers and boards of trus.
tees may embelish the school grounds.

Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO May 31-A moderate trade eX-
listed in wheat early in the session, but
quiet and dull feeling prevailed later, and
for that matter, most of the session. The
opening was strong aud prices were sc
higher, influenced by the continued cold
and rainy weather, and the top prices were
15@sSc over the closing figures of Wednes-
day. But at this advance the offerings
were increased, prominent floor trader
selling sufficient to prevent further ad-
vance and a gradual easing up of prices
followed, and the closing was about the
same as Wednesday for July. Some May
wheat was offered, and there being but
limited demand sales We're made at dis
count of 19a$sc on June prices. The
weather was the principal feature in the
market, and was the basis for speculative
trading. Some operators bought on &C
count of the unreasonable weather, others
sold in expectation of favorable change
which they thought must come soon.
A fair business was transacted in corn
and the feeling developed was rather I'M
settled, prices frequently falling within
sc range The market opened %915c
higher than the closing prices of Wednes-
day, stood firm for a time, but gradually
sold off &c, recovered, but then ruled
easier, closing 7s9Ac higher than We'd
nesday.
Oats were fairly active but unsettled
and higher. Opening sales were at &c
advance. The market held steady for
time, but reaction of $sc followed and
the close was steady at 15@Hc over the
last sales Wednesday.
The market for hog products attracted
very little attention and trading in all ar
ticles was limited. Prices were a little
more favorable to sellers at the opening Of
the market, but after few local orders
were provided for weaker feeling was
developed and prices receded again. The
market closed rather tame at medium fig
ures.
The leading futures ranged.
