had the privilege of hearing Methodist
preaching, to which sect he belonged.

to reside on his wife's farm near Black

Methodist society in the neighborhood
at that time. He opened his house for
the MethOdists to preach in, where the
usual ceremonies of church worship
were performed. Many came from a
distance and tarried for their meals.
This, after awhile, produced liabilities
which he could not meet. With this

their only child, embarrassed in circum-

Chancellor and told him of her distress
and when he heard the property washer
mothers, he told her to return TO the
farm; he would attend to her case.
The Chancellor would not let it be
sold, and my mother carried on the
farm for years until she got tired and
left 1t, and then it was sold.
Some years after this the falm was

THE DRAMA PRESENTED AT THE OPERA
HOUSE CHRISTMAS NIGHT.
One of the best amateur dramas ever
given in the Opera House was presen-
ted to large and appreciative audi
ence Christmas night. Worthiness be-
ing the incentive and their former
plays being the prestige, made it one of
unusual interest, The participants de-
serve a great deal of credit for their
perseverance In promoting the success
of the drama. 1t has served as a great
feature of the holidays. Miss Mary
Heitshu acting the part of "Mrs. Nav
Manning" performed her part admira-
bly,, as the centre figure of the plav
was adapted to her ready ability and
fine delineatiOn. J. B. MiGlin, "Rov
Manning" o. B. Voshell, the Tramp
and H. P. Hall, Marcus Graves" per-
sonated their respective characters
with unusual aptitude, and as for G. B.
Taylor, "Simon Stone" there's moth.
ing shabby about him." Miss Lizzie
Fell, "Bess Bradley" and Miss Alice
Spruance, Nancy Nipper," performed
their parts with admirable naturaluess.
This bright little drama in three acts
showed the life of two comrades who
had fought in the battle of Antietam.
In this battle Roy Manning and Matt
Windsor, THE Tramp" pledged them.
selves to help one another whoever
might be the lowest in circumstances.
Matt turned out to be drunkard. He
wandered about from place to place
until he came to ROy's home. In keep
log their mutual agreement 1t lead to
misconception between Roy and his
wife and caused rupture between the
two lovers, Marcus Graves and Bess
Bradley, who represented young and
gay society. The usual plot and coun-
terplot growing out of the love scenes
in connection with the obscure featu res
in the former conditions of the lives of
Marcus and the Tramp, revealed by
Nancy Nipper and Simon Stone. their
own love scenes bringing out the start
ling revelations ofthe others. Miss Alice
Spruance is a favOrite in comic charac.
terization, and Mr.. G. B. Taylor exhib.
hlbits the traits Of natural born com.
edian, and If he We're to give himself
to the stage would doubtless mako a
decided hit wherever appearing before
the footlights.
In The two hours consumed it was
unhaging in interest from beginning 10
end, as was shown by the close and
earnest attention of the audience
Miss Mary Heitshu, the leading char. |
acter, just as the curtain was falling at
the close of the last act, was presented |
with handsome basket Of tlowers
Inc drama was given in the interest
OF the Athletic Association and with
the proceeds from which they hoped 70

THE great question now engaging
the public mind more than anything
else, is that of per cents. The farmer
of the East feels that per cent is a
burden, but the Western farmer pays
often ten and twelve per cent, which,
with two or three years of bad crops
often cleans him out. The widespread
demand for q. S. bonds at low bearing
interest, has prompted Mr.. Sherman to
name per cent bond in the report
of the Senate Finance committee.
Nearly nine years ago when Mr..
Window placed his 8 per cent bonds on
the market, it was freely predicted,
and nowhere more more freely than on
Wall street, that they would not sell.
The demand for them proved as uni
versal as it was unexpected.
The years that have since passed
have greatly reduced the ave-
rage interest on investments. They
have seen a great fall also in the quo
tatiOns for railroad shares, fall which
measures a profound distrust in their
capacity to earn the dividends they
pay. In addition, our savings banks
and building associations, are practic-
ally confined to the New England and
Middle states, or to one-third the pop
ulatiOn of the country. Just at pres
ent, also, grave distrust also exists in
respect to all banks, in the minds of
great class of people.
Under these circumstances it is be-
lieved a 2 per cent bond would sell as
well as a three per cent bond in 1881.

B. N. S. K. Reception.

The Formal Reception WHICH the
young ladies of the B. NJ. S. K. ex-
tended on Monday evening at the
home of Miss Bertha Hoffecker to its
friends was one of the most successful
events of the holidays and has won
encomiums, so far as we know, from
all the guests who participated. The
spirit of social independence and self
helpfullness that prompted the forma.
ton of the club was manifest through
out, thus giving refreshing esprit to
its social feature.
The rooms had been most tastefully
dressed in the emblems of the season,
holly, mistletoe. &C., which with the
aid Of the lights from candlelabra and
lamps added not a little to the festive
character of the occasion. The recep-
ton hours were from to IL O'Clock.
The ladies of the association, twenty
In number, were there in the double
capacity of hosts and guests, dividing
their responsibilities in the duties of
the OCCASION,
Misses Bertha Hoffecker and Lizzie
Hall receiving the guests as they were
ushered in by the colored bell boy,
passed then over to the introducing
committee, Misses Nettie Tschudy
and Flo GOotee, who then presented
each guest to the following:
Misses Farrell, Cooper, Mary Hall.
Nan Hofecker, Heitshu and Jefferson.
The other members represented
other committees as follows: Misses
Spruance, Cotton, Wood, Smithers.
Williams, Collins. Blackiston, Thomp.
son, Denney, Beck.
These young ladies received the
guests in a most charming and grace
ful manner, giving each a word of
welcome and cordial grasp of the
hand. They were in full dress and bv
common consent never looked more
charming,
From nine to eleven o'clock it was a
busy, moving scene, the available space
OF the three rooms most of the time be.
ing occupied, though, as with such for
NAL receptions, they were continually
coming and going.
After being received and spending
what time desired in social converse, the
guests were conducted to the refresh
ment room where they were served by
colored walters with cake, cream aud
coffee.
The company in accordance with the
idea of broadening sociality. was some
what varied. Thus, in addition to the
young ladies and gentlemen, there
was the minister, the bank president,
the merchant, the retired gentleman
&C., &c. all uniting in the common
object Of each adding to the social
pleasure of the other.
Those whose aesthetical tastes pre-
dominated as well as others who wished
variety had It for the asking by the
obliging young ladies in some rich
piano music. Misses Farrell, Gootee,
Cooper, Tschudy, Collins, Cotton, Will
liams and Hofecker, were the per-
formers.
The persons present during the
evening numbered between eighty and
one hundred.

Mill Dam Broken

About 8 O'clOak Sunday afternoon
last a cave of the dirt was discovered
on the south side of the waste gates at
Garrison's mills, four miles south of
smyrna, and small current of water
was forcing its way around the timbers
OF the bridge. Help was Immediately
called, but the force of water increased
so rapidly it was utterly impossible to
stop 1t and they speedily drew the
main gates with the view of Iesseninp
the volume and force of water tbrongb
the break, but before the pond was
emPtied about ffty-two feet of the
road was carried away and the bridge
partially undermined. The disaster
has caused great Inconvenience to the
travelling public in reaching points
north, who are compelled to take q
rounding course via the Central Mills
and Brenford to again interseot the
State road in their onward coursa
thus increasing their travel three or
lour miles. With the natural how OF
the stream, which is large one, great
difficulty will be experienced in
speedily filling in with dirt to admit of
travel over it and the Levy Court NAV
be compelled to appropriate a sum suf-
ncient to erect a temporary bridge
across the break for the convenience of
travel.
The mill in tenure of Hermon Apder.
son Will be run by steam power while
the repairs are being made. On Mon.
day crowds lined the emptied pond to
gather fish, Of which the mud sbadn
largely predOminated and were cauobt
IN abundance. One fellow was fortp-
nate enough to secure a German earn
that weighed thirteen pounds.
N. B.-The Levy Court Yesterday
refused to take action on the proposi-
ton to build a temporary bridge over
the wash out at Garrison's mill. The
public in consequence will have to
wan until Garrison fills up the chasm
with dirt, which to make a sure iob
may take six weeks, as piling is first

We referred two weeks since to the
long and able speech which Senator
Gray made on the Federal Election
bill, the Democratic Senators by COM
mon consent putting him in the front
of their line of battle. Senator Hig-
gins has since made speech strongly
supporting the election bill, claiming
that elections in the South were unfair
citing as an instance Of this the work
ings of the assessment law of '73 and
claiming that collectors in Delaware
can control elections. Mr.. Gray at
tackled him caustically for bringing
family or local affairs into national pol
itics, to which Senator Higgins intends
to reply in defense of himself. There
the matter stands at present, but it
will not remain in that shape very long.
Mr.. Gray will be put upon the defens-
i've by his colleague, and the public
will be left to judge between the verac-
ity Ofthe two Senators.

EVERY available vault in the treas

the country are already crowded to
the point of bursting. with the silver
dollars which have been coined, but
which there is no means of getting in
to circulation. These dollars of course
are represented by silver certificates,
and any additional coinage of silver,
simply means that much expansion of

In the next place the secretary wouid

ing that brains as well as property
should be considered good security
Thirdly, the loans at 2 per cent should
be open to all good citizens who have
neither property or brains. A certifi.
cate Of citizenship ought to suffice as a
basis for a loan, if it is in the power of
the government to go into the loan bu.
siness without injury to tax PAYERS.
The secretary is of the opinion that

would be popular. The majority of
voters would favor it. That, it must

THE Philadelphia Press in noting the
fact of declensiOn of sermons in the
church at Christmas and an increased
interest in the music, says:
This change may also register the
plain fact that Christmas is becoming
more and more a home day. The the.
atres, year by year, draw smaller aud.
fences. Five, ten or fifteen years ago.
the Christmas matinee was one of the
great theatrical audiences of the wear.
This was not true of the high priced
entertainments like that provided by
Mr.. Irving, for instance, who found it
to his profit in his second winter here
to give no performance on Christmas
day. But this was the rare exception.
though Christmas has never taken in
this country, the place in theatre 60
ing which it has held in England.
Latterly there has been a great
change in this respect. The Christmas
matinee has grown of less and less i'm.
portance, and the receipts of Christmas
night have not their old Importance.
An Increasing number of people, it is
clear, find that there is no place like
home on Christmas day.

Mr.. FREDERICK REMINGTON urges
IN HaTper's Weekly, that Indians be en-
listed as scouts and given a semi-patri-
arehal organization like the Cossacks
with an army officer as hetman. Sec
retaTy Proctor has also pressed a like
plan in proposing that the number of
scouts be raised 70 1000, making two
full regiments, and it has been more
than once suggested in the past, though
until General Crook began the experi-
ment, nc one had been willing to trust
TO the loyalty of an organized BODY Of
Indian scouts. Within certain limits
this would undoubtedly give the gov.
ernment valuable body Of light cayaI.
~, and the Indians, or a part of them
something to do.
Congress could not do better than 10
adopt at least Secretary PrOctor's pro.
posal and provide for 1000 Indian
scouts. Properly distributed, this
would give a large enough force to alb
