eIer, &c, &c, and have recently spent two
months in Cuba, and am lecturing OH the
condition of that island, &c,and wish you
to be one of twelve to guarantee each dol
lar towards my lecture here, &C." said a
Western Yankee who with ample cheek
visited number Of the citizens of Middle
town last Friday. At least half of the
twelve "Cuban sympathizers," as their
friends jokingly call them, could have pre-
pared the lecture by reading and study.
The twelve men were soon pledged by the
sharp Yankee though any prophet could
have predicted that not citizen of the
town could have secured the same pledges,
SO naturally do we fall into the clutches Of
the willy stranger. The night came, rainy
and uncomfortable. The "Dr." talked TO
13 citizens and two strangers. The lecture
of an hour was very good, well-arranged
and instructive, but some Of his audience
doubted his having visited the island since
he claimed to have been in the town in
Nov. or Dec. where DR.. Ruiz was incarcer-
ated while that patriot was not arrested
until February. The DR. did not get the
applause which he suggested that audi;

THE ANNIVERSARY.

Sabbath last was perfect day. Long be-
fore the hour for service at Old Drawyer's
Church the people began to gather there,
the balmy air and the delightful view be-
ing so inviting. At both the morning and
afternoon services the old church, which
looks as bright and clean as a new pin, was
crowded. The decorations were the long
green leaf of the marsh flag in front of the
pulpit, with banks ofivy in the windows,
decorated with old fielddaisies, all the most
appropriate in memory of the forefathers.
The sermon of the morning was an able
one, plain and logical, based on the life of
st. Paul, Acts XXVI-22 to %, by former
pastor of the Church, DR.. Crowell. With
him in the quaint old pulpit, assisting in
the services, were Rev. ]. L. Vallandigham,
the venerable pastor now in charge, Rev. F.
II. Moore of Forest Church Of. this town,
Rev. L. A. Oates, of Delaware City, Rev. R.
A. Davidson of st. Georges, Rev. o. 8.
Gillingham of Port Penn, and Rev. Mr..
Hurst of the Odessa M, e. Church.
The afternoon services were under the
auspices of the Friends of Old Drawers, !"
presided over by L. C. Vandegrift, Esq,
H. G. Conrad, Esqr., read paper upon DR..
Thomas Reed the Revolutionary pastor, 1868
-96. Brief addresses were made by others
and the reunion was one of true religious
spirit. hearty social greeting and the best
of good fellowship. May the memory of
all such historical churches ever be kept
green.

LIVER GLOGGING.
WHEN YOUR STOMACH CLOGS YOUR
LIVER SEE TO YOUR DIGESTION.

Eotone person in thousand knows that the
cause of biliousness is the clogging of the liver
by the poisons OF indigestion. Nor that the
only proper cure for it is tonic to aid the
stomach. But modern medicine declares the
truth of it, And the Shakers have proued it by
the wonderful success of their Shaker Diges
tive Cordial
One of the most important uses of the liver s
to arrest and destroy all posons which try to
find their way into the blood. When it's clogged
it can't do this.
Undigested food ferments and putrefes in
the stomach, and the poisons of putrefaction
clog and paralyZe the liver, after which they
find their way into the blood.
Here is the true explanation of all the dis
tressing disorders and complications caused by
indigestion.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is the only tonic
cordial which aids the stomach in a natural way
to digest its food. BY this means, it cures indi-
gestion, restores the liver and frees the body
from poison aud disease.
Headache, dizziness. neuralgia, mental de-
preston, weakness. bad taste. fever, 1atulence,
constipation, loss of appetite, anaemia. rheu-
matism, and many other disorders are relieved
and cured by Shaker Digestive Cordial.
At druggists. Ten cents for a trial bottle.

may be lightened by having no other sea

what the General shall send on scouting

I am informed that General Washing
ton has said. that if the General Court
would request it, he would send regi-
ment here; it is true that as the season
now is there can be little done at fortifi-
cation, but there must be vast many
plckets got this winter, to enable thous-
and men to defend this post in the SPRING
while the Militia may be gathering to
reinforce them, and -bottomed boats
should be provided to transport the
Militia over the water here, and in this
way General Frye may employ his forces
this winter, so as to be able to receive an
attack in the spring.
