to remain here for the remainder of
his days. lie bought nice little property
opposite Glenwood Cemetery for which
hepaid $500, and lived there comfortably
until two years ago when his wife died

children or near relatives. By will he
bequeathed his property to the Bethel

will make them good parsonage, or
could be exchanged for a similar house
nearer the church.

trymen. He is connected with the
Baptist Mission and impressed him
self favOrably as a man of piety and

YESTERDAY Smyrna was suggestive
of "GOldsmith's Deserted Village" the
occasion being the picnic of the Meth
Odist Sunday Schools at Woodland
Beach, which was virtually a picnic of
the town. The youth was mostly
there and large number of those of
mature years: there were over a thous-
and persons of the town and iInmedi-
ate vicinity, besides those from else
where. There was nothing to mar the
pleasure of anyone and the day was
fully enjoyed except that it was unfor-
tunate in having a land breeze instead
of from the bay. It was noticeable as
being a day of reunion of distant friends
a number from Philadelphia, Chester
Wilmington &c, coming down on the
Clyde for this purpose, having three
hours together. Host Campbell of the
hotel was we'll patrOnized, and all were
warm in their praise of his table.
This was especially so of the supper,
which, in addition TO the usual prOvis-
ions therfOr, had the delicacies of the
bay-6sh and Oysters-prepared in
the most palatable manner.
THE proprietor of the merry-go-
round who set up his machine here
some three or four weeks ago for a day
or two but pulled up stakes because of
the bad conduct of the boys in egging
his tent, and moved to Middletown,
somehow, after a week or so he became
obnoxious to the boys of that town and
was similarly treated on two evenings,
concluding after the last dose to move
on to another town. Why this man
should be thus treated by the boys
when other establishments are not dis
turbed, is little singular, but it grew
perhaps out of the mans general un-
tidiness, the whole thing appearing to
the boys more of sham than reality.
Boys are quick ITO recognize what is
really genuine and what is not.
WE were the recipient a few days
since of a beautiful bouquet from Mis-
ses Ida and Mary Armstrong of Thor
oughfare Neck, looking as fresh and as
beautiful and as fragrant withal, as if
the past several weeks had been sea-
soned with refreshing showers. The
Misses Armstrong are worthy success
Ors of their mother in fondness and
love for flowers, of which they have a
very large variety. In addition to the
garden flowers, they have a number OF
choice potted ones. Notably among
these, several blooms of which
composed a part of the bouquet, is an
oleander that has grown a height Of
of nine feet and been in constant bloom
for three months. They have also
fourteen varieties of Cactus, some ol
them with very rich blooms. A flower
from one of these was of a delicate
white, fragrant, rare plant known az
the Club Cactus.
AN item in our State news last week
