GLENDALE.

Well, Nr. Editor, the readers ofthe CHRoN
IcLE at Glendale are swearing great ven
geance on Paul PIy because he don't appear
in that paper. OF late, one lady, new sub
scriber declared she would kill me because
she subscribed; but now jamie your are cen.
vinced we are here, and hope in the future
to be able to please you. Norhipg on earth
gives us such happiness as TO please the fair
ladies, but items are mighty scarce, tell
you.
Mr. David Reed familiarly known as
| Crockett Reed" gave fine reception and
elaborate dinner on Sunday last in honor of
his friend and enest, Allie Reed who is Wis
itiug here. Twenty-four guests of the fair
est and most gallant of Ellendale's bellies
and beaux sat down to the most elaborate
and fashionable repast of the season. The
whole affair was grand and bnt one fault
was susceptible, that was the absence of
Paul Pry. The previous evening the same
company were entertained at the hospitable
board of S. Z. Reed, where delightful even
ing party was hugely enjoyed.
The second series of our rural entertain
ments, in the way of an old-fashioned wood
chopping, was given last Thursday by c. T.
Cook, where twenty cords of wood was pre-
pared for market; then about thirty men did
justice to large pot-pie and plum pudding.
In the evening the young ladies came, aud
then the boys forgot their sore hands and
stiff joints and sport ruled the occasion un-
til late hour, and every pretty girl got her
cheeks besmeared with tobacco Juice and
her Jacket squeezed. There were few mod
est ones, but they had to come out aud play
"snap."
We have few sore heads and loug faces |
soured by disappointment among the would |
be Democratic road-oyerseers, but the Re-
publican Levy Court took everything, and |
now those who complained at last years
work, have an opportunity to show their skill
at road making There is no place in Sus-
sex county where the roads are such bed |
of black mud, holes and mire, as about here.
We are sadly in need of good live overseers,
who own land adjacent to the highway, with
good machinery and scraper, for instance,
such as Mr.. Henthorn advertised in the
CHRONICLE to make these old ruts fit for
a decent team to pass over. Iprotest against
any but land owners and permanent residen-
tiers, that are largely interested in the well
fare of the community, being appointed as
oyerseers. In fact the roads should be
worked by Contract by responsible parties
who can give security for the proper expen-
diture of our pnblie money.
Mr. John Clendaniel is still suffering from
a severe attack of infammatory rheumatism
which has prostrated him for four weeks
Our noble and handsome Esquire, preacher
and politician, found himselfunable to crawl
put of bed the other day; his loud cries were
heard TO say 90 my poor back p While
DR.. Pleasanton was in attendance at the pub
ic schools to vacciuate the scholars, he went
IN to see the Esquire, but he denounced the
Doctors medicine as sugar pills and rain
vater;'' but he took the doseknd was healed !
Now the fat Justice of-the'feace is loud in
lis praise of homeopathy, and declares that
)r. Pleasanton can cure the lumbago.
Mr.. George WEIGH, an old and highly es
eemed gentleman of New Market, is lying Q
eriously i'll at his home with heart trouble.
lie was stricken on Saturday and was sup
ossed to be dead or dying for several hours,
,hen DR.. Rittenhouse of Milford, came to
is relief He was apparently relieved, but P
mother attack followed, and now he is
pc echless and in stupor.. His life is de- u
paired of at this writing.
Mrs. Emma Macklin, who followed her "
uant husband to Philadelphia, has returned h
, her home and family here with flying cf
,lors, and in high spirits and much pleased | :.
ith Pennsylvania justice. She recovered a az
i'll title to three pieces of town property to

ort for three years. The property is hers
{ simple and valued at $500 to be made
