The oyster season in Maryland
will close April %. Packers report that
business during the winter has been
dull. The supply has been short al
though of good quality, but sales were
effected by the general depression. Not
as many oysters were steamed ms in
previous years. The raw supply was
nearer the normal mark than the
steamed. Workers in the packing
houses did not make as much money as
usual, owing to shorter hours.
The tornado which swept over
Still Pond in 1888, resulting in the
death OF eleven persons in the canning

The Wilmington Delaware Ercry
Erening of Thursday has this to say
about the markets of that city: Straw
berries sold at 80 cents per box in the
local markets yesterday. They were
from Florida, but very much resem-
bled the Delaware berry both in taste
and appearance. Potatoes are selling
at 30 cents and 81 per bushel and
apples at $3.50 barrel. Eggs are
quoted at 13 cents per dozen by the
crate. Asparagus, kale, spinach, let.
tuce and greens are also in the mar.

The whole population of the |
United States could be concentrated in
Texas without bringing up the density
OF her population TO that OF Massa-
chusetts. In fact IL nm area equal 10 /
that Of Indiana were cut off from Texas
the State would still hold the entire
population Of the United States without
crowding us as the people Of Massa-
chusetts are crowded Delaware would |
have more than room for us all could
the whole population he crowded as
are the inhabitants of New York city.
"A reference was made in the Wi /
comico Ncrs last week 10 the project |
of building bicycle track from Sails
bury to Snow Hill. Prospects for
such an undertaking are not very en-
couraging at this end of the route rs
the riders are few and the distance
great. thereby making the expense
fall heavily upon a few. Some OF our
bicyclists, however, think the time not
far distant when wheels will be so
numerous that there will be justice in
calling upon the county to provide
good roads for them.
There is strong talk OF the dis
banding OF Talbots' military company
known as Co. +, NJ. \. G.. At a
recent meeting it was decided to hold
on for short while The Easton
Ledger says: Under Captain Adams
the Company set up high standard
for efficiency, and became known in
military circles all over the State as
one of the most efficient companies of
the States militia. At the Frostburg
mining strike last summer il made
particularly good record Since that
strike however, reaction seems to have
set in, and the Company has been on
the downward path.
"A meeting of the citizens of Snow
Hill and surrounding county will he
held in McAllen's Hall on Thursday
evening next for the purpose of securing
another regular daily passenger train
over the ID. NJ. d V. branch of the p.
w. d Ii. railroad. Everyone interested
in better railroad facilities is requested |
TO be present at this meeting and take
a part in securing better facilities for
the travelling public which will add
much to the advantages of our town.
If proper interest in the matter is shown
we have no doubt Of satisfactory results
This branch of the road is paying a
good revenue, and we should at least
have the advantages of other towns
where the lines do not pay.
Charles Fooks, son of Daniel
Fooks, Laurers wealthiest citizen, died

Taylor, an aged citizen, was laughed
at for telling a strange dream, foretel-

record the deaths of an unusually |
large number 4 few DAYS later he
stated that he was worried over the re.
