The Curriculum to He Raised and
Corps of Professors to b» In
creased,
The committee on the revision of the
curriculum of Delaware College concluded
their labors yesterday afternoon. Thera
will be tour courses, commencing with
September, viz. : Classical, Latin Scientific,
Scientific and the Agricultural. The first
three will require four years study and
the fourth, three years. The
faculty is to be increased by
ths addition of an assistant In chemistry
and a horticulturist at the next meeting of
the Board of Trustees. The committee will
recommend at the next meeting of the
board an iacrease In the salaries of the
faculty.
The coming oellegiate year will see the
college open under more favorable circum
stances than at any time for years. Over
flty students are assured.

The State League will boM a meeting tbit
evening at 3ad and Tatnall St». It will be
an important session, as matters touching
on the vitality of the League will n»
brought op. There was talk of postponing
the meeting until to-morrow evening, but
as the president has taken no action, it will
be held to-night, notwitbetandiog the
America» and Quickstep representatives de
sire it changed. According to all accounts,
the matter of the Americas Bedford game
will be brought ap. This is a matter which
will require good judgment end sense. It
should not be treated lightly, but freely
and above board. The Americas team
claim, very decidedly, that if they had re
ceived fair play in the gome they would
have been victorious. They soy that it was
made ap beforehand to give the game to
Seaford. The Beaford men claim that it
was a fair battle, and that they won
rqnareiy. The other league dabs are dis
posed to view the whole affair with indif
ference. The Wilmington»,with a brotherly
antagonism to the Americas, say that the
dab was treated as fairly as possible. The
Quickstep holds a neutral position on tbs
subject At the meeting wot only will the
contested game be talked about, bat the
matter of the various elubi breaking the
roles will be brought up, and it is under
stood that nearly all the dabs have chargee
and countercbargee to bring against each
other. To marshal such a meeting so as to
act to the.good of the League will be a deli
cate matter, requiring a great deal of tact
and discretion. Steady, members of the
Delaware State League. Be careful.
David Aiken of the Quickstep was at
Smyrna Del., and not .Syracuse as stated
in yesterday's paper.
The Young Men's Temperance Union

The Quickstep« are confident of victory
over the Beaford to morrow. Maybe they
will be disappointed. They defeated the

The Peninsula editors as they eit upon the
plena of the Blue Mountain Uousasee w 1th
some concern, by means of powerful
glasses, that there are thousands of peach
trees now developing into a productive
state la the Cumberland Valley. The
whole valley, of which fully 300 equare
miles is within sight, Is dotted with yonog
peach orchards. Here this tender tree la
sheltered between mountain ranges and it
as safe as on ths sunny sids of a Peninsula
slope. S. G. Hollinger, a prominent young
farmer of the valley, residing about
six miles from this place, told the corree
pondent that last year oas of his neighbors
cleared (8.000 on hie peaches. The indus
try ia just being developed and In a few
years, six at the onteide, this valley will
probably be an Important competitor of the
Peninsula in the peach market. Fruit
here runs about ten days later than it does
in the Peninsula. But fine large peaches
of excellent taste and quality are brought
hers every morning by little boys from the
valley who sell them to the guests at ten
cents a dozen.
The editors are very reluctant to leave
the Blue Mountain House They all agree
that It is the beet appointed hots) ever
