FOR five years the supply of wheat in
this part Of Delaware has fell short of sup
plying the local milling demand, aud the
millers are compelled to pay more than
the marker price in Philadelphia to keep
their mills running. The cause for this
will be found i'll the necessity Of farmers
20 sell wheat to pay their phosphate bills.
This week Frank and Mark L. Davis re-
ceived a cargo of wheat by the schooner
Belle OF Dover" for their Lincoln mill.
1900 bushels of it have to be hauled from
the wharf in Milford to their mill. If
farmers could get forehanded sufficiently
to market their wheat without simply ex.
changing wheat for phosphate and giving
their labor, it would be blessing to Del
aware

ON Friday last horse belonging to T
B. Windsor ran away on Walnut street
One Of the reins became unbuckled and
the horse started away on run, Ed
Windsor was driving the horse, and the
instant he knew the trouble he jumped
from the spindle wagon on to the running
horses back and reached down aud got
hold of the bride bits. At the same time,
X. P. Small, who was with him in the
wagon jumped out with the one rein we'll
in hand. He fell and vas dragged about
twenty yards, when the efforts Of the two
brought tue horse to a standstill. The
work Of young Windsor was pretty and
timely. His presence of mind and cour-
age saved the wagon and probably the
horse, and possibly a neck or two.
