The General Assem- bly,.

The State Legislature will meet on Tues
day morning next, occupying the remodel
ed State House for the first time. On
Monday night caucus of the Democratic
members will probably be held for the pur-
pose of selecting a reading clerk to succeed
the late G. W. Kern, of Milford, and also q
chaplain, to succeed the Rev. II. G. G. Vim
cent, who has resigned.
There are number of candidates for the
office of reading clerk, but it is impossible
to predict the chances of any candidate at
this time. The Office of chaplain will un-
doubtedly be filled by some clergyman of
fciating in Dover.
The chief business of the session will be
revision of State laws to conform to the
new Constitution. and consequently num-
Der of lawyers are expecting to be called
upon 10 aid in completing this work. Some
consideration will also be given to a general
corporation act. The question of salaries
OF county officers will be discussed and
an endeavor made to regulate them satis-
factorily.
The proposed new charter for the City of
Wilmington will receive consideration and
it will probably he adopted with some
slight notifications. Local legislation for
Kent and Sussex counties is also contem-
plated, as is also a change in the ballot
law some dissatisfaction having been ex-
pressed regarding the Australian system
now in force.

said: "The goose is one of staple products

Native island birds are the largest and

and also command an extra figure. The
Hebrews make it point to procure them
specially on account of their size and the
amount of fat they will take on. Three
years ago parties from New England visited
cur locality and purchased one thousand
geese in one season at 81 a piece. Seven
hundred were shipped in one day. We
have been selling large numbers the past
two weeks, and obtaining good prices, never
less than 81. so head."-Centreville Observer
