Kind-hearted farmers should not for
get their friends the birds at this
season of pinching cold. The dis
patches state that the partridges and
other feathered creatures which
linger hereabouts during the winter
are perishing in large numbers, not SO
much from the extreme temperature
as from want of food.

JANUARY WEDDINGS.
,rsrAt N11MBER FOR THIS
CHILLY MONTH.
A Brilliant wedding at Laurel NO
Social Event of the Season -
elmer p. Horsey of seaford and
Miss Minnie Wolfe wed-More

of the Same Kind.
The present month will go on record
for many things which give it peculiar
distinction, and, among others will be
the unusually large number OF wed
dings, for marriage bells have not
ceased to ring out their merry tones
since the New Year dawned.
One by one, the fair maidens are
being won from the gay, social whlrl In
which they have been the happy leaders,
from their homes of luxuriant ease and
indulgence; and from their various vo-
ca ions, to assume the higher and more
responsible duties of wifehood. "For
better, for worse" is the solemn vow
which each one takes at the marriage
altar, and many are the gentle, loving,
trusting wives, who, with the men OF
their choice, enter upon the all untried
sea of life with only Hymen at the
helm. Homilies on conjugal bliss and
walls of single woe are strangely mingled
with the triumphant strains of the we'd
ding march, while those who are''in The
same boat'' are wisely fearful and
hopeful. But the joy bells ring on, and
we trust merrily will run the years.
many happy years for these January
brides.

RETIRED ON PENSIONS.
JUDGES HOUSTON AND CoMEGYs
TO vACATE THE BENCH.
A Joint Caucus Decides the Judiciary
Question and A Bill VIII Be Passed
Pensioning Them for Life on
Salary of $1,000 Gray
Elected Senator.

DOVER, Jan. 20.
Our legislators put little more life
into things at the Capitol this week,
and did actually accomplish some-
thing. OF course "Blue Monday"
affected many, but in the evening our
Democratic members got together in
caucus, and following the pro-
gramme mapped out early last fall.
considered Senator Gray's nomination.
There was some little kicking no
doubt, for many of the members were
averse to having the Senator succeed
gfmself; but as payment for the work
done during the past campaign he had
demanded before hand this boon, it
was impolitic at this time,to kick over
the traces.
Bayard stock has fallen way below
par, and he has sunk into that political
grave from which he will never arise,
unless it be to do some more of that
class of work that wrecked his hopes
last fall.
There is no doubt that the Bayard-
Gray faction is in the minority in the
present Legislature of this State, and
had it not been for the pledges exacted
before the November election, Della
ware would have been represented in
the United State Senate by man who
to-day stands pre-eminently the master
of the situation at Dover-Willard
Salisbury, Jr.-and not by Senator
George Gray.
Notwithstanding the fact Mr.. Sauls-
bury took IA prominent part in the eau
Gus that nominated Senat or Gray, the
facts as above stated remain undis-
puted, for no honorable man could
have done otherwise than did Mr..
Salisbury. The "abortive effort" as
it is styled, to show the factionalism
existing in the organization of the Leg
islature, was we'll founded, and all who
gave the subject any consideration,
agree with what 1 said in the TRAN
SCRIPT last week.

The urgent need of bill to remedy
the judiciary troubles now existing in
this State, was forcibly brought before
the Legislature this week by delega-
tions from the members of the bar OF
the three counties, and will undoubt-
edly have the desired effect of affecting
means whereby the wheels of justice
will not be clogged in the future.
A joint executive caucus of both
Houses have decided that Chief Com
eggs and Associate Justice Houston
shall be retired on a peIsio of $4,000
year, this sum to be paid them as
long as they live, and to go into effect
Is days after the passage of the act.
The Chief Justice is in his S0th year,
and his enfeebled condition makes it
impossible for him to aItend to his
duties, while Judge Houston is only a
year younger, and also in enfeebled
health.
The question of their successors will
now be source of conjecture, but it il
to be hoped that Governor Reynolds
will act upon the suggestions of the
members of the bar of the different
counties. and select men for their rea
worth and not for partisan reasons.

The soul Is safe In heaven.
IT'S hard 10 break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart;

We must forever part.
Dearest loved one, we must lay thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will BIO cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are DER
On the border land we left him,
Soon TO meet and part no more.
Far beyond this world Of changes,
Far beyond this world Of care,
We shall find our missing loved one
In our Fathers mansion fair.
