tinctive differences which claimed con-
sent from our citizens to bear Chester's
burdens-unless the water supply be
considered, and that for that trouble a
remedy much better and safer could be
obtained by seeking another source for
their supply of drinking water. Mr..
Hughes, of Philadelphia, exerted him
self efectually at frequent intervals, to
keep the meeting in good humor, and
all the Commissioners and their friends
made most agreeable impression on
the gentlemen from this place. Mr..
Budd closed the meeting in which he
reiterated his former statement, and
declared that he had no interest what
ever in the sale of the lands of BOmb bay
Hook, but was endeaVOring fairly to
perform his duties as a commissioner.
The party from this town reached
home about IL o'clock p. NJ.
Why Delaware, with only Whining
ton to defend-while Pennsylvania
and New Jersey have so many more
exposed points and commerce vastly
larger-should be expected, in the alb
sence of especially important advan-
tag9s of location over coasts of the two
other States, to surrender her own ter
ritory for quarantine purposes, is not

of Kent county for their opposition to

Some of the young ladies of Kenton.

town OF Smyrna on a straw ride, Fri

great glee, with their bells and horns.

in town, making calls on their friends
But they met with the misfortune of
losing a wheel, about half mile from
Smyrna. The ladies made themselves
very useful by taking out the horses
and singing to the boys, while they.
with the wagon upside down, tried to
mend the broken wheel with a few
shoestrings which they secured from
the ladies, and it can well be imagined
how that crowd came home on three
wheels and a half. When within two
miles OF KentOn the tire came loose
from another wheel. Three of the
ladies being discouraged, decided to
walk, as they decided they would get
home much sooner, so they at last
reached home in the wee hours of the
morning, determined to have the
wagon repaired before taking such a
ride again. DEB.
