GLENDALE.

Eilendale begins to assume its usual quiet
ness, after a very busy season. as the fall
approaches. The past season has been an
unusually busy one in this immediate Yicin-
ity.
has been running on full time and at the
heiqth Of its capacity for the past few weeks
closed the first Of last week aud will not
again open until next season. This enter
prise will be sadly missed by the laboring
class Of this place, as it gave employment to
every man and bow that could be secured.
As soon as the factory closed the genial pro-
prietors gave their employees, numbering
about forty persons, a trip and days sport
al Slaughter Beach. The Reed Bros. are
genial. good hearted and enterprising men
and deserve much credit for their thrih This
has been the largest seasons work since the
factory opened.
Samuel c. Fisher, our genial levy court
man. and brother, have leased David Gov
erdales' farm near here in Broadkilu hun
bred near the Cedar Greek line. They have
purchased the crops aud implements Of the
/ tenant, Harry CoveTdale, who has joined his
parents near Wilmington and will enter
Delaware College for full course Of study.
Mr. Fisher has just returned from Philadel-
phia with a lot Of city horses for his farm
work It is rumored, aud we believe It is
generally understood, having it direct from
/ Mr. lester, that he will resign his Office and
remove his family to the farm, believing that
farming is more cougenial aud profitable
than petty Offices.
The colored people are holding another
/ bush meeting in Morris Woods aud sue
coed in making night hideous for the inhab-
itants near by until late hour. It is far
/ from being a success, as people are disguised
with these Sunday picnics and night sprees.
Our old and respected friend, class leader
and devout Methodist, Bivins Morris, has
not been able to make his matrimonial life
with his young and handsome wife happy
one, and she concluded to yacate his prem
ises. He succeeded in tracing her to Phila-
| delphia last week where terms were agreed
upon, and they have agreed to try again to
| agree. She returned on Saturday night
much to the surprise Of every one. The
| folks attempted to give them an old FASH
/ toned calithumpian sereuace but failed ow-
/ ing to the absence of the boss fiddler and
the broken strings on your correspondents
violin. We sincerely hope our friends aud
kind neighbors will succeed in their new ef-
/ fort, aud believe they will as the bright
smiles that bedeck the cOuntenance Of Mr..
n. contrast greatly with the frowns ard tears
Of last week.
The annual building boom which occurs
with US every fall is here, and Contractor
| Welch is very busy with work.

an extensive back building shut in. This

Christmas.

building of an immense barn, stables and
storehouse for the accommodation Of their
mill and basket factory.

Wilmington.

niziug Esquire Ellegood's ability as just
