Needed Road improvements.
.1coMnuN1cArEDI.

lCOM0UN
Mr.. EDITOR I would like to call
the attention Of the Road Commission
ers Of this hundred to the condition OF
the public highway between Arm
strong's Corner and where the jurisdic-
tion Of the Commissioners ends on the
Chesapeake City road. The roadway
in this neighborhood is badly cut up
and full of holes, making travel
very unpleasant, if not dangerous. The
trouble could be remedied at very little
expense. Other portions of the road
situated differently, and nothing near
SO bad as this one, would have been
fixed long ago. The road in question
is used a great deal and there lis an
injustice being done to the taxpayers
of the neighborhood by allowing it to
remain in its present condition.
Let US have better roads.

ly isolated by old Duck creek from the
mainland on the west and south, and
Duck creek on the north. This island
lies for seven miles upon the Delaware
Bay. There is a high ridge or back
bone running parallel to the Bay.
Opposite the southern part is Ship
Johns Light and this point would
certainly be beyond the danger of
infection of any town on the Delaware.
While we do not desire to oppose
any advantage to Philadelphia, yet
we hope our people may be advised of
the Importance now. and for the
future, of fully protecting our citizens
whose homes might be endangered.
While the committee appointed by
Governor Reynolds have no authority
to commit this state to the expendit ure
of money by the state, we hope they
will have due regard to the welfare
of our citizens in any proposition they
may receive, or their report to the
Governor.

In THE course of a vigorous sermon
by the Rev. J. Beers in st. Anne's
church last Sunday evening on :" How
to Keep the Sabbath" he spoke very
earnestly against late shopping at any
time, but especially on Saturday nights,
by which the storekeepers and their
clerks were SO worn out with long
hours of labor as to be unfit to enter
with hearty earaestness and cheerful
ness Of spirit on the services in the
Lords house. He in strong words
condemned the habit, and expressed
the hope that, under the influence of
Christian truth and principle, the
storekeepers would all combine and
close their stores during the week at Z
O'Clock and on Saturdays at 8 or even
8 O'Clock P. NJ, that they and their
clerks may be able to retire to rest at
q reasonable hour and rise with renew
ed vigor to enter upon the privileges
and duties of the Lords day.

WITH remarkable regularity news
papers all over the country at intervals
furnish their readers with description
of Delaware's whipping post and pill
lory, and explain in copious language
how the punishment is administered.
The New York World is the last of
the metropolitan dailies to take up the
subject and last Sunday contained
really good account of the mode of
punishment, together with likeness
of the Sheriff and also of the post and
pillory. DeIaware's mode Of punish
ing criminals is not followed by any
other State in the union, but this does
not lessen the fact that the way is a
good one. The State Of Maryland has
a whipping-post for wife-beaters only
and since its establishment wife,
bea ling has become very uncommon.

Nothing New Under The Sun.


The Chicago Inter- Ocean call atten-
tion to the fact that the Australian
ballot system had its origin in Scot
land, and was actually used by the
Scottish Parliament in 1862 to secure
the ostracism of Lauderdale and other
political opponents, whose corruption
rendered them incapable Of public
office, and yet whose opposition it was
not prudent to publicly invite. It
was then know as the "Billeting act.n
and was opposed by Lauderdale, who,
as one of the members Of the cabal Of
Charles H., succeeded in securing its
reputation by the King. Thus we
have another illustration Of t. he saying
that there Is nothing new under the
sun. uD.-Philadelphia Record.
