proud OF their new church building. 1t
is an ornament to the village, and a
monument to the morality and public
| sentiment OF the community. The cut of
the church herewith presented gives a
| better idea han could words OF the sp-
pearance OF the building. The church
is centrally located, on the Waltham road ,
short distance above the fork of the
road at the centre of the village. 1t is on
high ground, which gives it perfect
drainage. The church is painted yellow,
with white trimmings.
II the exterior view OF the building is
pleasing what may be said Of the in
| terror? The entrance is from the south,
in the base of the tower, as shown in the
cut. This opens into a vestibule abou.
eight feet square. From the vestbule
large doors open into the lecture room
and auditorium. The lecture room is
29xi0 feet in size. At the northern end OF
the room is a raised platform 10x14 feet,
and in the rear Of the room is gallery
29x14 feet. Access to this gallery is by
stairway leading from the vestibue.
The auditorium is 3ix3i2 feet in size,
with pulpit at the eastern end. TO the
right OF the pulpit is the pastors study
room 7x10-and at the left the choir
room, Sx10. The auditorium is fitted with
handsome pews OF oak. There are thirty
six pews seating five people each.
The lecture room and auditorium are
separated by wooden curtain, which
may be raised or lowered at pleasure, so
that the two rooms may be thrown into
one large auditorium. The ceiling is
adorned with ornamental beam work
arches.
The building is finished throughout in
hard pine; the floors are of the same
material. The windows are OF colored
cathed al glass, set in sixinch squares,
and are OF very pretty design. They
fasten with a patent bar which allows
them to open outward from the bottom.
The contractor for the building was A.
NJ. Foster, of Ellsworth, and its con-
struction shows thorough workmanship
in every detail.

A NEW INDUSTRY.

Two or three weeks ago we made
reference in the TINES to a possibly
new industry that was to locate here
or at Centreyille, Nd. What is
wanted is the straw of wheat
or rye, the grain at threshing time
being cut off as near to the head as
possible, by a machine devised for the
purpose.
Mr.. Bacon wants about 600 tons of
wheat or rye straw the first year and
will employ 100 OF more hands. If this
industry could be located here it would
result to the advantage of the town and
community. If farmers did not have
straw to spare from present acreage
they could put in five to ten acres es-
pecially for this purpose. If landlords
and tenants would come in and talk
the matter over there is no doubt but
that Mr.. Bacon would meet them at
some specified time and more fully
explain matters. In the meantime
information can be had of A. E. Jar
dine, secretary of the Philadelphia and
Smyrna transportation Company,
Smyrna, Del.
The following letter of Mr.. Bacon
explains itself:
Mr.. A. e. Jardine, Esq, Smyrna, Del;
My Dear Sir:-I write to say that
we will use almost all of our straw
from 26 to 30 inches in length, and if
it will stand three feet or yard stick
by your side you will see that it does
not require much of growth of straw
for us. Further, l wish you to say to
your farmers that there is a wheat
thresher which is fed sidewise and a
gauge so set as to cut the heads off,
and the heads alone go into the cyin-
der, the butt end of straw, the part We
want, passing out straight as a shin
gle. The cost of cutting heads off is
almost nothing. I presume arrange
ments could be made whereby one
thresher could be secured to thresl
out lots we may secure. Wishing you
early success, l am,
Yours respectfully,
THos. BACON, JR., Laurel, Del.

The Lecture Course Finished.

The sixth and last University Exten-
sion Course, on American History, was
delivered by Prof Elson on Thursday
night last. The lecturer dealt with
the second war with England-1S12-
often designated as the "secOnd war of
Independence" 1t was nearly an
hour long, (some of the lecturs have
been only As minutes) and was in this
respect as well as in historical classi-
fication of the statements of facts, more
interesting than several of the dis
courses. He had gotten away from
Jefferson and Hamilton who had un-
doubtedly acted conspicuous part in
the great drama of American liberty,
butOne or two portraits of clear outlines
would have sufficed where there was
so much to set forth as best it could be
coditied and presented in six lectures.
Whether Madison was the author of
the Constitution more than any one
else and that Hamilton had nothing to

seem, of historical research, as they do
not all agree, but in statement of an
event that is mooted there is stimulus OF
thought that leads to discussion and
eventually to the accurate facts
in the case. Much of our his
tory is not known at all to the average
listener, while with the others in whose
minds it existed only in a vague form,
such lectures bring out the subject
matter with vividness and clearness.
But few men have time to read his.
tories, and hence their information is
kept revived by the fugitive sketctes
in newspapers and what is heard in
public discussions. TO the individual
who wants to know but HASN'T the
hours to give to literary research, sucL
and opportunity as the University Ex
tension Course presents, is invaluable
We hope another course will be giver
next winter.

About Fruit.

Since the blossoms have shed, there
is not the same assurance about the
peach crop there was at first. In fact
many say the crop is materially in
jured, especially the yellow varieties.
d. J. Cummins however says that
whatever may be the condition
with others, the trees on his farms are
sufficiently full of young fruit.
Apple orchards have been well set
with good healthy bloom, and indica-
tiOns point to large apple crop here,
and some varieties of pears have a very
full setting of young fruit.
Berries of all kinds look well, and
the present bloom indicates a large
crop.
Blackberries, where they have been
properly attended to, never gave better
promise than they do this season. The
Wilson plants winter killed badly, but
Early Harvest wintered well and are
full of bloom.
Peaches in some orchards have ap-
parently disappeared especially down
the State, while in others the young
fruit is as large as MarrOwfat peas
In sections where there was a full crop
last year the trees are reported as hav
ing very few peaches-but this is not
universal-as from the same sections
the reports vary from absolute failure
to half a crop.
At Frederica Warren Darby has al
orchard of $500 trees that will yield
full crop, while a neighbor nearby will
have very few.
At Georgetown and Bridgeville
careful examination of the peach or
chards shows that the frosts killeC
about three-ffths of the buds of lat
varieties and one-half of the buds o
early varieties. This leaves fruit suf
ficient to make the crop a paying one
unless the buds which are alive are af
fected to such an extent as to cause tn
June drop to be abnormally large
The apple crop promises to be tn
largest for years.

THE committee of the Legislature
appointed to investigate the charges
of corruption in the passage of certain
bills is not likely to result in more
than ''guilty but not proven. D."
Two members of the divorce COM
mittee have been on therack this week,
Senator Pyle and Representative Nc
Cullough, charged with saying that it
would require from one thousand to
fiften hundred dollars to procure a
divorce, Attorney J. H. HOffecker
being thus informed while working up
the Cause divorce case.
Francis, brother and law partner of
the above, corroboratsd the statements
of the two men, but they claim to
have been misunderstood, and the diff
fculty will be to furnish proof neces-
sary for conviction, thing next to an
impossibility. Many believe that de-
mands have been made on other than
divorce bills. This is shown in let
ter received by the committee.
The writer proceeds to array very
suggested chain of actions that were
strongly suggestive of improper inhu
ences in behalf of this bill, and the1
added: ''I firmly believe that money
was corrruptly used to secure the pas
sage of this bill, and that votes in it
support were bought, but 1 have nj
proof" And this letter is but a sam
pie of many others received.

sixties during Geo. b. McClellan's
famous campaign, and for whom he
was named. He is bachelor, and it is
rumored that a young lady is to be his
assistant. If Mr. Moore will study the
post-office business he may max com
petent postmaster, but there is lots
in it not learned in school nor the beef
business.
The Cheswold Town Counsil elected
is as follows: W. S. Hardcastle, Pres
dent; A. P. Jones, Secretary; II. G.
Ford. Treasurer; w. L. Sapp, and
w. J. Smith.
Our farmers are well up with their
work, the spring having been very fav
orable for farm work The peach crop
has about gone up, while few may
yet hang en- the trees. There may be
some pears but no bartletts, nor would
there have been any; they had no buds
to start with-can't lay their failure to
the frost. But the prospects are fair
for full crop of cherries, apples and
strawberries.
All branches of trades seem to be
booming and we have a Planning Mill
and Crate factory which is turning out
hundreds of crates daley. We don't
have very many lOafers now; of course
every village has its share of this un-
necessary contingency.
