The railroad company has been using
refrigerator cars for berries, and they
are proving a splendid success. While
they do not make as quick time as the
express freight, the fruit arrives in
much better condition and brings more
in the market. Berries sent in re-
frigerator cars on Monday were sold
in Boston on Wednesday alongside of
fruit from the same vines shipped on
Tuesday by express freight, and the
former sold for two cents per quart
more than the latter. Freight by the
new cars costs $1.05 per cwt., and by
express S1.25.
An accident occurred in large Will
mingtOn factory, one day last week,
whereby a boy received slight injuries
to his arm. He was taken away to u
doctors office to have his hurt at
tended to, but before reaching there,
note was handed him says the Star
| from one Of the members of the bar,
Offering to bring suit against his en-
plOyers, percentage of the amount
| which might be recovered to be the
LAWYERS fee. If this is part of pro
! fessional" mans means of securing en-
ployment, the ordinary buncO-steerer
| NAV as well retire from business. He's
not in it.

Says the Milford Chronicle: If tn,
politicians will let Governor Watson
alone he will go out of office with The
respect, and highest esteem of the peO
pie. The appointment a day or twt
ago of Jefferson B. Foard, Esq, O
MiddletOwn, as Clerk of the Peace 0
5 New Castle county, shows that h
) wants to select the best men in hi
party to fill the Offices in his gift. Th
appointment of Victor B. WoOlle
Prothonotary is in the same commend
able line as that of Mr.. FOard. The
are both good men, and have the con
: fidence of the best people of the Stat
regardless of political affiliations
, Governor Watson by these appoint
ments, as by the selection of his Secre
tary of State, serves notice on the oil
New Castle ring that they must nc
! just now at least, expect anything q
] his hands. The time is not yet whe
/ | Dickey. Neary & Co., can expect
r run things as they did during the reig
\ of the last Democratic Governor.
