Milby referred brcllly, at the couclusion of service iu the M. E. Church iu this town on Sunday evening Inst, to the frequent dances thnt have taken place here this winter. He said he would hold no controversy with any one ns to the subject of dancing. As to their convictions on this subject it depended upon the idea held ns to religion.

If thair religion consisted of the ideal, or of creeds or ceremonies they could embrace tho spirit of tho world nnd be of the world. But if their idea of religion was siucere, spiritual nnd born of thu spirit of God, they would be partaken of nona of thcso things. Ho also declared the spirit of the churches, of all denominations, were opposed to this frivolous nmuseraont. Tlie true Catholic renouncing tho world fled to the walls of a convent. He cited the Prayer Book of the Episcopal cliurch as the spirit and aim of that church and paid a glowing tribute to the beautiful language employed in addressing Supreme Being.

The M. E. Church bore the weakest testimony of against this wordly spirit, although professing to possess largely of tho spirit ol Christ. Weather to Remembered. Whatever might have been the hopes of the old man, who remembers such cold wcathur in his boyhood, that his recollections would uot be eclipsed tliiswintcr, he must certainly relinquish tliem, imd give over to the rising generation the coveted cold weather yarns in the future.

If he persists in saying he has scon hnrdur winter, he will get soundly sneered at. On Monday uight the sky had a laden hue, nnd the heavy atmosphere was chilling. At about 10 o'clock that night snow storm began, which developed info one of the severest of tbe season. It was the eighteenth snow storm this winter. Tho -flakes wero small, nnd they seemed almost 'ike hail in their sharpness, ns they blown in all directions.

Tho wind blew a gale and the mercury hovered around 8 degrees nbove zero. Dispatches from all points in the and Norlhwest report a recurrence of severely cold weather, in nmiu' plnces exceeding coldest yet ex- ricnuod during the winter. At Ot- tawn, Canada, regular northwestern blizzard" set in Wednesday, the- mercury fulling to 30 below zero; while at Whitehall, Now York it descended to below. Bath, Now Ilamsltire, reports 30 below, and three feet of snow on a level, and trains blocked ou all the roads.

Before th was given the (ire was burstin out the windows and roof of the bad part of the building.

A destructive fire visited Cambridge also on the same night of the Ension It had just turned inidnL'ht when It was ed that the office of J. Hooper Shepherd, in the L'lttonide building, aud just over the Chronicle office, was on fire. Knpidly the fire spread, and before long the entire building was destroyed.

Erom here the fire reach- oil the house of Mies Jane Brown urn! thu house of Miss Fanny Dyers. These buildings wure nil located in the best part of this town. The losses amount to no insurance. The Chronicle newspaper ollice, we understand, was totally destroyed, nud it is dead to that p.ipcr of nearly Cruelty to Children. TKE.YTMKNT OF HOUND-BOYS IN OKJ.AWAKE.

Tin 1 tigcnts of the Philadelphia charity societies aro much excited about the cruelty of Delaware farmers to the children they have on their farms under indentures. A lea'ding citizen of (icorgetotvii, Sussex county, who has been invt-itigating the alleged cases of cruelly, s.iys thc.ru nre a dozen farms within five miles of tho county-seat where childrou arc not only compelled perform the work of grown persona, but nre liulf starved on scraps from the tables of their employers. Many nre shockingly beaten, and all nrc scantily clothed. lie cites a case where a furnier, who acts as agent for one of the Philadelphia charitable to secure good treatment of indentured children, was himself before the court charged with maltreating it bourn! hoy of his own. A colored boy named Tom, ou one of thesu farms, had his feet frozen so that they have become mere stumps, through the brutal treatment of his employer.

The postmaster nt Georgetown says the homes ol sonic of these li'tle ones found in Sus sex county arc, with the exception ol tho wurnith, perfect hells upon earth', nud tlio pcoplu having them in charge arc in no way tilted lo raise childruu. man who lives ncnr Milford, who caused his own con, fifteen years old lo commit suicide by threats of a hruial horse-whipping, has since Ihnt event been cnlrustod with two charity boys, who are now suffering from his cruelty. One cf them has his cars and feot frozen. These complaints are, however, not confined to Delaware, the farmers of the Eastern Shore of Maryland arc concerned. As to Tho fable of tho hen that laid tho egg has been treaied heretofore with contemptuous disbelief, but so high is Iho prico of eggs now that the fable is no longer a fable, but an actual truth for it would seem that all the old hens in the country are laying nothing but golden ongs.

Since the Christmas holidays the price of eggs, instead of going as is usually the case, has been steadily goiug up. Eggs are selling in Baltimore for iifty cents a ilozen, and in Philadelphia arc several cents higher than this. The price paid iu this town has been or suveial days 40 cents. It is said the cause of the scurcity nnd the consequent, high prices is owing to the cold weather and snpw-covored ground from which tho chickens cannot find inything to eat. They nro fed regularly, but it is said tlicra is something in the- ground is peculiarly productive of eggs.

THE HARD CASE OF HAURY Myers. --One nivrningtost week Hurry livers a white boy, aged fourteen years, fade nto Harrington with a jug t-cd around lis neck. The child was dressed in a coltoa shirt, torn jackal, breeches of overall stuff, and shoes, without stock- ngs. The bottoms of his breeches legs only renclicd a little below his knees, nnd his hara skin and ankles wcro wdly frosted. He wns taken oil the lorsc, and thawed out iu tho house of a neighbor, who tent llto horse homo, tept the boy until the following day, when Ira Z.

Wllkcrson, t'uo lad's master, came and carried him away, hut lot before telling tho good Samaritan he should "mind his business, and mt stop other people's bound boys whan they were sent ou errands." The boy wns going after a jug of mo- asses, nnd bad ridden four miles when ic was taken down and cared for. A LOCUST nglon dispatch credits Poof. Ililey, lie entomologist, with saying that the 7 years locust will abound next Juno Marquctlc and Green Lake couuties the neighborhood of Wheeling, V7. Virginia, and probably in Maryland, Virginia nnd the District of Columbia, ey may also appear, he says, in the vestcrn part of 3forth Carolina, in Xorlliwralcrn Ohio, Lancaster county, nnd West Chester county, New York. There aro two broods of these tcriodictil locusts, oncjappearing once IT years, nud the other once iu 13.

3oth broods will appear this year, but not in tho samo localities.
