the Female College, Bordentown
N. j., filled the pulpit of the M. E
Church of this town on Sunday
last morning and evening. The

presented with rare force and pow
er. Rev. E. c. McNichol will
preach next Sunday.

The timidity of the Canary is
well known and it was fully exem-
plified a few days ago in the case
of one belonging to Mrs. George
Hall of this town. A screech owl
during the evening before the bird
was taken down seeing it in the
cage, pounded suddenly down on
the window shutter beside it, which
SO terrified the little thing that it
died from fright before it could be
got in the house. OF course there
were moist eyes at the sudden
termination of the long years of
attachment.
SCOUTS VINEYARD This is
emphatically a year for grapes as
well as other fruits and cereals. A
visit yesterday to the vinyard Of
Captain Scout & Son at the Land
ing showed the vines covering five
acres in splendid condition and
set in fruit. 1t would
be difficult to find in any state
vineyard than his
young one, now two years old,
vines uniform in size and well set
in fruit. He grows several variet-
les some for making wine, but the
most Of his grapes are grown for
market.
The papers of the Peninsula from |
up and Dover down,
speak Of the heavy thunder show
ers on Tuesday afternoon of last
week, in some towns the water
standing five inches deep in the
streets. We had but a passing
shower in lower New Castle and |
upper Kent Counties, in this town \
not enough to run in the gutter. \
We have not had this season a se-
we're clap Of thunder a fact appre-
ciated by the nervous and timid,
and in time of electrical disturb
ances, they constitute not a few
persons. With good growing rains
but no destructive storms, we GER
-ainly have nothing to complain of.
