As a reward for her extraordinary literary

people for many years, she enjoyed a long

Indeed she still lives, for like the deeds of
all good mortals, her works live after her.
But modern ladies, envious of her enduring
fame, have endeavored to excel her efforts
and have partially succeeded in obliterating
her monumental glory. So that it becomes
the pleasant task of your humble servant,

the world by that electric poem, entitled,

Interesting Reminiscences About a Su

About fifty years ago, Kent County, in
this State, had a gentleman for Sheriff,John
Reed by name, who

the advantage of him in a bargain. In after
years he became, probably, the most exten
sive merchant in the town of Dover. He
was a most enterprising, useful and valuable
citizen, and I believe was the only
remarkably shrewd
who
built vessels in that county, and sent
them to get freights in Europe. Some of his
ships sailed up the Mediterranean Sea, and
brought cargoes from there to New York
and Philadelphia. He died about 35 years

fliction to his family was undoubtedly caused
by the malaria arising from this body

however,it was brought about by conjuration,
and suspected an old negro, who lived near,
of afflicting his family by his wiles in this
manner. There was another colored conjur
er living near Milford, and he determined to
go and consult with him upon the matter. w
Accordingly he went to Milford, saw the a f
conjurer, and made known to him his sus

The conjurer told him that the disease of
his family undoubtedly arose from conjura
tion, and described the old colored man
whom he suspected as being the author of
it. He went home excited by the informa- th
tion, and upon entering his house found two
of his children in convulsions. Acting on left,
the impulse of the moment, and filled with one
revengeful feelings against the supposed in
jurer of his family, he seized his axe, and
rushing to the old colored man's house, he
at once, with this terrible weapon, clove his
skull. He was immediately arrested, and as will
the laws of Delaware did not acknowledge
conjuration as an excuse for murder, the
prospect appeared to our worthy sheriff, who
had a great repugnance to take life, that he
would have to hing him. This he desired

I asked him his price. If it had been a dol
I would have paid it. But he told
my affairs were "weighty," and the
price would be $15. This I thought
paying too much. I accordingly told him
" I knew some little (just a little) of as
tronomy. I was in hopes he would take the
hint, and think that I was afraid that the
planets, rushing upon their swift courses
round the sun, would not vary their speed,

to take cognizance of the poor affairs of such

knew a little of astronomy. But the trouble
was he knew nothing of that science, and
did not take the hint. So I bowed myself
out and declined at present to get a know
ledge of my future. I have had my fortune
often told in my life by various fortune
tellers, but no two of them ever agreed as to
what was to happen to me hereafter, and
this discrepancy has shaken my faith a little
in prognostications. But at this time several
believed in them, and these charlatans
made a great deal of money.
Whilst Alderman of Wilmington, I had
several cases before me of conjuration. One
colored man complained of another colored
for charming his wife away, and after
gew.vn B dollars to charm her back again,
again charmed her and wanted fur
ther payment for the exercise ol his powers
in bringing her home. In the midst of a
trial before me for assault and battery, an old
colored man suddenly got up and said to the
witness then being examined, in

instances of a similar nature, occuring"v"^
15 years ago. Even in this short time tn»
community has made great advances, ard
the belief in conjuration and witchcraft l as
been greatly lessened. In a few years it will
disappear alltogether.
To practice conjuration is against the law
of Delaware. Section 7, Chapter 132 of the
old revised code, says:
"If any personshall pretend to exercise
the art of witchcraft, conjuration, fortune
telling or dealing with spirits,he shall be fined
not exceeeing one hundred dollars, and shall
stand one hour in the pillory, and may be
imprisoned not exceeding one year."

The peach growers of Kent have become
alive to the importance of evaporating a por
tion of their large crops, and "fruit dryers"
of various kinds arc going up in every di
rection. This is the only sure road to profit,
for any one who grows fruit largely, and the
comparative merits of the various "Dryers"
are being brought to the front by those in
terested. The tendency seems to be toward
low priced machines, that will not require a
whole crop to pay for, or much capital to lay
idle in seasons of failure. Good machines
that will dry from 75 to 150 baskets every
twenty four hours can now be bought for
$ 150 to 300 and make just as good fruit as
the high priced evaporators.
