FELTON,, Del, Sept. Goth, 1875.
Let the pen of your humble servant drop
you a few more words, and few indeed they
must be this time, for it is getting so cold
down this way that one needs a rousing
winter fire to keep from freezing. On last
Friday morning the frost was so heavy that
quite a little damage was done to the fodder
left uncut. The sweet potato vines were
also considerably injured, and no longer
does the blue-eyed hopper grass sing his
sweet melodies from the topmost branch of
frost bitten corn.


We feel very much blessed when we con-
sider how remarkably we have escaped be-
ing tormented to death by that species of
genus homo commonly known as the peach
pluck. Brethren rejoice with US!


To-day the number Of Students at the
Seminary was greatly increased, many of

more attractive home.


Coal is had here much cheaper than it can
be had any where along the road, from the
fact that those desiring it order it direct
from the mines, and 1t thus does not pass
through the hands of coal dealers and spec
ulators.


The congregation of the PRESBYTERIAN
church are much pleased that Prof. Collins
has accepted the position of chorister, and
that he has taken upon himself at the earn

expressed and the truths set forth are
