Letter Writing i'm America.

Americans are the greatest letter writ,
ing people on the globe. OF the fifty
odd billion pieces Of mail which are
posted in the world every year nearly
5000, OOO, 900 go through the postoffices
Of the United States. We spend every
year more than So, 900 900 for postage.
and during the year 1891 American
tongues licked the backs Of $37, 00O. 00C
worth of sticky stamps.
The postage stamps sold every year
the world owe far surpasses in value
the riches of Jay Gould or the Roths-
childs, and the postage stamp industry
Of the world is one of the greatest fac
tors in the machinery which moves the
universe today. And yet postage stamps
are of comparatively recent origin. Ii
is barely fifty years ago since they were
first used in England, and in 1S47 con

The Phoenix of Arabia.

In olden times a bird called a ''phoe.
nix" was thought to live in the deserts
of Arabia. His lease Of life was said tc
be 500 years, at the end of which time
he built a nest of spices and famed it
into a flame with his wings. The flame
reduced the bird to ashes, out of which
he sprung to live another 500 years.

Report of the Committee Appointed to
Audit County Treasurer Dickey's Ac-
counts.

Report of the Committee Appointed to
Audit County Treasurer Dickey's Ac-
counts.
The report Of the committee APP
pointed TO audit the accounts of County
Treasurer John Il. Dickey was made pub
lie Monday. In submitting a detailed ac-
count of their work to Judge Grubb,
the members of the committee say.
Your committee found the books in
satisfactory condition, and that all the
amounts collected had been faithfully
accounted for and deposited in accordance
with the requirements of the law. In this
connection it should be stated that on &C
count Of ohscnrity in the law it was agreed
between the road commissioners of the
several hundreds and the Levy Court conf
missioners and the county treasurer that
the road taxes paid to the receiver of
taxes should be by him turned over to
the road commissioners of the several
hundreds direct.
The difficulties we have encountered in
the comparison of the duplicates with the
| collections induce MS to recommend that,
| to facilitate the auditing Of the books and
accounts in future, and for the convenience
of the taxpayers in the examination Of
| their bills, rs well as for the convenience
| of the receiver of taxes in ascortaining the
amounts due from individuals, the dupll-
Gates for the several hundreds be SO pre-
pared that they shall show all the items of
property, etc, assessed to each owner as
| they appear upon the assessment books of
| the Levy Court and so arranged that all of
| the assessments to one owner in any one
| hundred shall appear together.
| We would also respectfully suggest that
| the law be so amended as to provide that
on the first day of January in each year
the duplicates and all the books and ac-
counts of the county comptroller and the
| placed entirely at the disposal Of the audit
ing committee for period of not less than
one month, and that the duplicates should
not be placel in the hands Of the delin-
| quent collectors until the cS piration Of that
time. ANDREW G. WILSON,

Your committee on temperance would

sentatiyes Of churches and Temperance

laws, an agitation whose aim should be !:
First, the securing OF greater restrictions
about our present laws Second, the pas
sage Of local option law by our Legisa-
ture. A committee was suggested, coh-
sisting Of a minister and layman from
each denomination and two members
from each TEN pgianpe organization, OF
which the Rev. John d. G, Hanna should
be chairman, TO open this campaign by
calling mass meeting in Wilmington at
an carly date 70 make sentiment here
along the line suggested above,
The Rev. Isaac Jewell read paper

EXCITING rrnE ar NEnpoRn

Tho Dwelling, saw-mili aud outbuiidings
of j. Ross Barrett Leyeled to the
Ground.
Two men passing the house of J. Ross
Barrett at Newport, Monday, dis
covered flames issuing from window
in the second story of the building. An
alarm was Immediately sounded and q
bucket brigade organized to save the
house from destruction. Mr.. Barrett was
in this city at the time Of the fire. The
occupants of the burning dwelling were
his wife and two small boys. The flames
burned with such fury that they soon
enveloped the dwelling and lept from
house to saw-mill and from the saw-mill
to barn some distance away. Willing
hands went to work and the battle with
the flames began.
When the fire broke out tho two
children of Mr.. Barrett were asleep in
the second story of the house, some one
stated, and a ladder was run up and
brave hands went to the rescue. 1t was
subsequently learned that the children
and Mr.. Barrett were safe, at the nome
of a neighbor. Then the work of saving
the furniture began. When the roof OF
the house fell in the sparks flew high in
tho air, threatening to set fire to house
roofs near by. The house Of George
Houck caught fire, but the bucket
brigade soon extinguished the flames
The next building to catch fire was that
of Representative John A. Cranston
Again the bucket brigade rushed to the
fire and quickly subdued the flames on
the roof. The next fire was started on
the roof of the freight station, which
was also put out. In the station were
ten barrels of coal oil and five kegs Of
pure white lead. William Parkins'
large barn also caught fire, but the fire
was soon put out.
Mr.. Barrett returned from this city to
Newport only to learn that his home
and outbuildings were burned to ashes.
He estimated his loss at from 1000 to
$4,000 and said he held two insurance
policies of $1,000 each. One was with
the Delaware County Fire Insurance
Company of Media and the other with
L. A. Van Trump Of Wilmington. A
sum Of money secreted in a bureau
drawer BY Mrs. Barrett was destroyed
in the flames. The fire is supposed 10
have caught from a defective tlue.
While the fire was raging word was re-
ceivcd in this city asking Chief Engineer
Robinson to send fire company to
Newport. The Friendship and Reliance
companies were at the r., w. IL b. sta
ton ready to go but second message
said the fire was out.
