Which, When Operated will be Worth
| Investigation.
A busy woman reformer of the city has
elaborated scheme for the establishments
| of model Christian industrial home on
the family plan, in which the old bachelors
and spinsters shall dwell together under
one roof. to be provided by her. 1t is a
| most interesting scheme, and if all the
bachelors and old spinters shall dwell as
provided, it will more interesting yet. We
shall gladly do all We can to help them
along and to promote peace and unity
among them. Old bacelors are to be pitied
and they always are pitied by spinsters of
age. but more particularly by those of
them who, to use kindly phrase, have
reached certain age" The very greatest
danger of the scheme would undoubtedly
arise from the intrusion of the matrimonial
boom among the bachelors and spinsters
under the roof We are of opinion that
the institution would be destitute of in
habitants and wholly emptied every few
months, or as fast as the bachelors could
wed the spinsters. 1t is we'll known how
rapidly friendly feeling spring up between
an aimable old bachelor and determined
spinster under the same roof; and when
once friendship is perfected love often fol-
lows it, the result of which may be mar
riage. The couple would then have to
leave the institution voluntarily, or else
they would be driven from it by its keeper
as it is to be only for the unwedded Ex.
perienced boarding house keepers can tell
lots of stories aoout their bachelor and
spinster boarders.
The inventor of the scheme under the |
same roof of which We are speaking, must, |
therefore. take means to prevent it from
degenerating into a matrimonial intelli.
gence Office.
Wehave not any objection to trial of
the interesting experiment of the unsquel-
chable woman reformer, who has thrown
her whole soul into it.-N. Y. Sun.

Died from Exposure.

The dead body of an unknown colored
man was found Saturday morning on the
road between Frogtown and Armstrong;.
He was brought to Middletown, and by
order of the coroner was taken to Whining
ton on Monday and placed at the morgue,
but his body was not identified and after
the coroner's inquest be was inferred at
Farnhurst on Thursday. 1t was learned
from Chas. Smith of Little Creek, that he
was one of two men whom he had hired at
New Castle to drive some horses to Dover,
which he had purchased in Philadelphia
and was returning with them on the
steamer Ella of the Smyrna line. Owing
to the extreme bad weather the boat put
into New Castle. Here he hired the two
colored men to help him drive his horses to
Dover. They proceed through the rain,
hail and snow and late in the night one ar
rived at Middletown almost exhausted, and
the other perished along the way.

A New Swindle,

This is the latest swindle practiced on
farmers down the Peninsula. Stopping at
farm house that is insured, the swindlers
represent that they are special agents,
around inspecting risks, and so get the
names of the company who have insured
the house. Later they return with type
written paper to the effect that the CON-
pany has failed and that they are empow-
cred with authority to transfer the policy
to another. The farmer is prevailed upon
to sign what lie supposes to be transfer,
but which proves to be a promissory note
for sum ranging from $40 to $1OO. The
swindlers are reaping a rich harvest and
rarely fail to work the game. Farmers
look out, they may come this way.-Ches

The Proposed Railroad Extension.

The people of Sussex county are much
interested in the bill which is now before
the General Assembly to allow the Queen
Anne Railroad Company of Maryland to
extend its line across the Peninsula to Re-
hoboth. Farmers think it would enable
them to ship their crops to Baltimore and
thus open new market. There are still
others who believe that the excursion
which would be carried to Rehoboth in the
summer time would make trade better for
the whole lower portion of the peninsula.
So far as is known the bill will not be
fought by any other railroad company. If
it is, there may be expected large delega
CATION of Sussex countians at Dover in the
interest of the bill. The road will be built
entirely by Maryland Capital and many of
the people of the lower part of the State
think that all possibly should be done TO
bring foreign capital into the State.
