W. Hoyer'nCuse. Judge Frederick Slump presided over the chancery term of the Circuit Court which was convened on Monday last. Two cases were heard by special appointment, and the session which usually lasts but one day was not concluded until Tuesday afternoon.

Boyer, for several years a merchant at Marydel. Mr. Hope H. Barroll, representing the creditors, petitioned the court to adjudge Boyer an Insolvent and testimony was heard on Tuesday. Mr.

Jas. N. Todd was counsel for defendant. Judge Stump, after hearing the evidence, declared Boyer insolvent, and a trustee will be appointed. There has already been considerable litigation in the case of the Philadelphia and Wilmington merchants against Boyer and it is thought the interests of the various plaintiffs, some of whom have attachments on personally, will clash.

Redden, George W. Gravalt, James H. Nichols, George A. Fisher, Harry A. Roe, Wm.

The heavy fall of snow last Thursday was too much for the good of the ice, or skaters either, so in lieu of a skating party the Wednesday Club gave an impromptu party in McShane Hall, on Friday evening. Several charades were on llie programme for the evening entertainment, and were pronounced excellent by all. With those and different games--not forgetting the refreshments-- Ihe evening passed very rapidly. It was decidedly near midnight when the company dispersed, all exclaiming in one voice, so to speak, that Ihe evening had been delightful indeed. The young folks of Ridgely have been making the very best use possible of the fine skating of the past week.

A large peach wagon loaded with merry belles and beaux, drawn by four horses, also loaded with bells, leaving town for the pond was a very frequent occurrence and hugely enjoyed by all participants. Owing to the heavy drifts of snow our trains have been delayed several hours nd required the assistance of an extra ngine.

Saulsbury, left for school ast Saturday. School commenced at the "Plains" on Tuesday. by this on the will do me the favor to publish, will set our teaching concerning the other life in a proper light before your readers. Very truly yours, (Ruv.) THOMAS A. KING.

The love of life is universal, and there is a general belief in its immortality. We feel a this life does not end all. The human soul is a created spiritual organism. It is formed of the substances of the spiritual world, and its immortality grows out of the fact, that as an organical form of life, it is held in constant contact with Jesus Christ, who said: 'Because I live ye shall live also. 1 The spiritual world is the necessary environment of the soul as a spiritual body.

It is the grand theatre of the soul's life, and is as real to its inhabitants as this world is to men in the flesh. While distinct from this world, as to the substance of which it is composed, it is nevertheless not remote from the world. The spiritual world was created from a spiritual sun. It is the world of causes, and is all about us, just as the natural world is all about an unborn child. Where there are material substances, then, as the life of them, there are spiritual substances.

That world circumferences our spiritual bodies. It is only lo unintelligence that it is distant. The blue, beautiful sky is the material emblem of the spiritual world but that world does not lie in nature. It is distinct though not far away from the natural world, as mind is distinct though not remote from malter. The nearness of the spiritual world is indicated by every reference to it in the holy scripture; but that world cannot be seen with natural eyes.

The soul being the real man and the outer body merely his material garment, then the soul, as an absolute organism, has faculties and organs that relate it to the spiritual world in the same way that our bodily organs relate the body of flesh to the natural world. Ordinarily man's spiritual senses are closed in this life; but they can be opened by the Lord for purposes of revelation; and when they are, the beings and things of the other life become distinctly visible. This condition and law of man's capability of intromission into the spiritual world explain the supernatural elements of the Bible. Its grand old prophets and seers heard with spiritual ears, and saw with spiritual eyes. These spiritual intromissions were for the communication of divine truth to men they were exceptional.

Swedenborg, from the Lord, has explained their rationale but he has done us the service of showing the evil of seeking communication with the departed through any violations of the divine law thai relates the two worlds. The spiritual world is, therefore, here and now. As to our souls we are living in them, only we are unconscious of them because of the closed condition of our spiritual senses. What men call death is simply the real man's release from his connection with material It is his resurrection and entrance into real life in a real and substantially organized world. The doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church, unfolded as they are, from the internal sense of God's word, point us lo .1 real spiritual world--to a world where exist all the living prototypes of the beautiful things of this world.

They show us that death is not a thing to be dreaded--but that it is God's crystal gate of life--the passage way from the valley of shadows lo the resplendent landscapes and sun-crowned summits of heavenly mountains--to the blessed world where what so many Christians sing with their lips but deny in their theology, is a living a "Sweet Holds beyond tho swelling Hood Stand dressed ili living green." The spiritual world is composed of three places, heaven, hell and shades, or the intermediate state. Heaven is a beautiful country, in the vast spiritual universe. It Is that part of the spiritual world where the good live. The Lord Jesus Christ is the God of heaven so that none can come into heaven but those who love him and one another. Mere admission into the place called heaven is not being moral character, it be good or a it is bringing the man to the surface so that it may be known what he is and where he belongs.

And it is the place of instruction for those both of the Christian world and the heaven, who have led good lives, b'll were in false doctrines. All mere errors of the intellect--false doctrinal theories--will be corrected there, and those once holding them will be prepared by truths for Heaven. But no change can be made there in a man's heart or character. If he dies a good man, though he may have been ignorant of the truth, he will receive it from angel teachers and ultimately enter Heaven; but, if he dies a bad man, though he may know the truth, there it will be taken from him and he will ultimately unite himself to his like in hell. 'As the tree falleth, so it Such is the doctrine God has revealed in the writings of the new church concerning the spiritual world.

Whether men believe these doctrines or not does not affect their truthfulness, nor our faith in their divine origin. Our only duly is lo intelligently receive them, love them, and ns'apostles of the new Christianity proclaim them in the Lard's name, leaving the question of their reception to Him who knows all human states. The Hard Freeze Did Not Hurt lludi. The JOURNAL reporter this week interviewed several well-known peach growers on the condition of the bud, and the effect of the recent prolonged and severe weather. The poor yields of the past several years have, of course, had Ihe effect of dampening the ardor of some of the orchardists who have lost considerable money, but they have hope of retrieving their losses this year.

Mr. J. W. Kerr has studied the peach, specially, for many years. He last Friday, January Cth, made an examination of about one hundred varieties, taking the twigs from all sides so that all conditions of buds might be scrutinized.

He finds them alt safe and sound. The wood is In the best condition. The hard freeze has done no damage what, ever. The peach bud in winter is safe until the mercury reaches a point considerably below zero. Mr.

Kerr does not attribute the poor peach crop of last year to the weather of the winter and early spring, but to the fact that the year, was an unnatural one for fruit trees. The buds, for lack of nourishment from the wood, perished the preceding fall.

Very respeclfully yours, THOMAS L. DAY. This circular is issued by Ihe above Association to advise growers and shippers of berries, the manufacturers of berry for a non-returnable or It has been the custom of tC N. 1 a mission merchants in the past berries to demand llie empty crate and to insure quired a deposit from the buyer, custom can no longer be enforced. Tri organized and unorganized buyer--, have determined that they will no Ion- ger endure the losses which the system of returning crales has inflicted upon them.

When berry crates were expensive we could enforce our demands for a deposit, but now there are several available styles of gifl and sales in the future made for the return of the crate will require a sacrifice in the price of the fruit. Last spring a fierce demand was made upon Ihe receivers of berries by organized retail grocers of this city and several thousand, for a immediate change to the gift or not returnable crate. A committee of 01 merchants met a committee of the jy cers and appealed to the latter for" year's lime to enable the growers perpare for the change. The comtrri sion merchants have resisted the chanp until in their judgment all would be best served by it, and now fully believe the time has when the package must go witt contents.

But no such untoward circumstances existed in the fall of 1892, and owners of peach orchards may regard th'e chances for a fruit crop this year as very bright.

Hon. A. B. Roe says the condition of Irees and the weather have been favorable up to this time. "The trees having been well cared for, and the buds being well matured, together with the favorable weather, lead one to expecl a good crop for 1893.

This, however, is of course subject to future changes in the weather." CordoTa. Moving is over and a number of our farmers have moved a long distance. Wm. E. Andrews has gone five miles below Trappe; Wm.

The doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church lay the greatest emphasis on two things, the acknowledgment of the infinite God-head of Jesus Christ, and the necessity of the new birth in order to live in heaven.

A mere humanitarian mortality will not save any man. Hell is the place in the spirilual world where those live after death who while in the life of the body denied the Lord Jesus, and confirmed themselves in sin. It is the chosen home of the evil. It is spiritual savagism and infernal anarchy. There is no literal fire there; but there is wickedness vrhich burneth as a fire.
