FRANKroRD. Nov. 29.-Sportsmen are
finding plenty of game. Rabbits are in
abundance, but par;ridges the farmers
seem to be disposed to protect this season.
In the Indian River and Assawaman bays
there have been plenty of wild fowl. The
strict cunning laws in Maryland have had
the effect of keeping many sportsmen
away. Just before the recent storm there
were numbers Of wild geese at both ends
of Assawaman canal. A flock which
probably stopped for food and rest for two
or three days in the salt pond drew num-
Der of gunners to that place. As the At
lantic Hotel which is situated on the
beach at Ocean View, is open for the win.
ter, for the first time gunners can con
veniently reach either bay easily and
quickly. Rabbits are higher this fall than
| ever, while the outside demand for par
| tridges is ST great that none at all are find
| ing their way into the local markets. The
demand for turkeys and other domestic
| fowl is the same and the streets this week
| have present quite brisk appearance q;
| the farmers have brought their poultry t
market. The purchases OF one local deale
will now amount to several tons. The pre-
pairing OF all this has given employment
| to many and remnnerattNe prices.
The Presbyterian Sunday.school ha.
already commenced preparations for it
| Christmas festivities.

What will Congress do when it meets:

What will Congress do when it lneets9
The time fol its meeting is near at hand,
and the above question begins to inter
est the people The Presidents annual
message will doubtless have great intlu-
ence on what the Democrats will try to
do in the approaching short session.
That document is anticipated as an inn
pu.tant political paper, likely to do
much towards locating the future line
Of battle between the parties II is not
probable, however, that the Democratic
majority in House and Senate will sue
coed at the coming session in putting
any legislation OH the statute books
against which the Republicans choose
to make determined stand. The an
nual appropriation bills must be passed,
and they consume much time. The
session can only last three months.
Under the rules and customs Of the
Senate the Republicans can easily talk
70 death any proposition to which they
may be earnestly opposed. Nothing
therefore, in the shape of legislation is
to be expected outside of the routine
| work. The parties will shift and fight
little in order to put one another OF
record, and out Of that shifting ant
sliirmishing the lines Of the heavier
battle two years hence may become es
tablished. That is about what Con
gress will do when it meets.

The communication which we print

times. 1t indicates that some thoughtful

Mr.. Higgins, aud arc turning their at
tention to the available and suitable

many admirerSas enthusiastic as Sussex
Countian," they can make him very
serious factor IN the fight He puts up
strong argument in advocacy of the
DOCTORS claim, and we know that there
is u basis of truth for his words of ad-
miration. If the Sussex delegation
should act upon the suggestion to unite
in support of DR.. Burton, there is
no doubt that they could secure
his election. Indeed, as things stand
now, even three or four Of the Sussex
members, who would cast their votes
for DR.. Burton from the beginning Of
the caucus, and stand firmly for him
through every ballot, could probably
come out victorious in the end. Those
familiar with the friendships and attach

that there are easily three or four O
them who would find great persona
