Whether the winter is harsh or inild, the month of March may always be. depended upon for it* fall quota of stormy and blustering days. March, 1880, has certainly had its share of disagreeable weather. Friend Shimpnt the depot ha* a brood of young chickens which when they* were six weeks old were adopted by another hen and are thriving under her protection.

The following conversation took place upon one of our streets a short time since: Said A, "there's a pin, pick it up." "Ob/1 said B, "I nevefr stop for a pin unless I need it/' A replied, "my motto is, pick up a pin when you see it, and you will have it when you need it." Our thanks are doe to Dr. Maurice Beeslcy the efficient county Superintendent of Public Instruction, for a copy of the report of the State Board of Education. It contains much interesting matter and we shall probably make aome selections from it at a future day. A fow d^y* since as K, O.

Mr. Mills at once took the dog out but it died in a few minutes, evidently from the effects of starvation. Fill your ice houses And the dogs can't get in . Another wreck is reported from Station number 31. The Bark Douglass from South AmArica, bound to New York, with a cargo of scrap railroad iron, came ashore on Peck's beach, opposite Life Saving Station No. 31, on Sunday morning last at 4 o'clock.

Their provisions were entirly exhausted with the exception of a few beans and a small quantity of sea biscuit. It is thought she can not be gotten off Wo understand that she was insured. HANDSOME WAGON. We had the pleasure, a few days since, of examining the beautifal wagon of Thad. Van Gilder k Son, of Petersburg. This wagon has just left the hands of the painter, Mr. Frank Dow nan of Boealcy's Point, and we. can salbly say that it has no equal in this county, and few, if ant, in South j ersey. The mechanical fix t urea compare favorably with the painting and in fact all jiarts are in unison. These gentlemen have earned a reputation for fair and honest dealing, good stock and reasonable prices, and this handsome wagon it but another evidence of the enterprise and energy of the firm. Their stock of Agricultural Implements is the largest we ever saw and an inspection of their immense depot will repay any one for a trip to Petersburg.

At the but aeHafcm of the legislature a the establishment of the tttab- agrioultu ra 1 oxperimant station, with suitable branches. The organization U completed and the following b the board of Director* : His Excellency Geo. B. McCUllan, President Rutgcr's College, Prof. Geo. H. Cook, and the Visitors to the Agri cultural College. The officers for the coming year are President— -Tho*. H. Dudly, Director— Prof. George H. Cook, Soc'y. and Treas— James Nelson. The first meeting in Cape May county will be held at the Court House on Wednesday next, April 14th, at quarter of two o'clock, sharp, and it is to be hoped that there will be a large attendance. The object of the association is an excellent ono, (that of promoting Agriculture by Scientific investigation and experiment on fertilisers, soils, seeds, cattle feed, u*eful and injurious plants and- insects, crop failures, etc.,) and wheu it k known that the meeting U to be •ddre*,.,! by Hon. Thomas H. I Dudly, Prof. Cook, and James Kelson, public confidence in the movement must necessarily follow. The principal station is located at Rutger's College, and any thing that can be done to forward the farming interests of the state will recieve attention. To put itself in closer connection with the formers, to make known its objects, and to learn more of their specific wants, a deputation of the Committee propose to visit the principal agricultural districts of the State. During this visit they hope to meet some of the thoughtful and progressive farmers, and to enlist them in the cause the Board has undertaken. The ladies are especially invited to be present on Wednesday, and they will no doubt be interested in the addresses. Let there be a large attendance from all parts of this county and thereby show these gentlemen that we appreciate their efforts in our behalf. TUCKAUOE' ITEMS.

He was buried at Petersburg on Wednesday . > * Mr. Freeman of Philadelphia and MissS&llie Bishop of West Creek, spent last Sabbath with Miss Martie Steelmnn.

Esq., arrived home from Penuington Seminary on Saturday evening last, for a short vacation. Our quiet little town was thrown into excitement on Tuesday Inst by the gnind wedding that has been so long looked forward to by the society people. Your correspondent had the pleasure of witnessing on that day the marriage of B. T. Abbott, M. D. to Miss Emma Godfrey, daughter of the late Judge Godfrey. At 12.30 P. M. the happy cotiplc were united by the Rev. Wm. Abbott brother of the groom. The bride was dressed in an elegant silk and her costume throughout was very becoming. The bridesmaids were Miss Sallie Garwood of Camden and Miss Ifuttie Evans of .Millville, and Messrs Hoag and Hoffman did "tli© j»olite" as groomsmen. About eighty friends witnessed the ceremony and after we hod congratulated the joyful pair, we sat down to a bounteous feast and you may be sure we all did our duty in this direction. During the evening they "received" in their own home, and were favored with a serenade by the Juvenile Band who were made happy by the gift of a V. loiter in the evening the larger boys were permitted to con grntu lata and then partake of ice cream, cake cfe. We have not had so grand a wedding «* • 'v* TV M-- ' u ' -o i • - wish of _ Delta, CAPE MAY. Something new turns up every day And all is going Along picely. ' , For a good 8egar, call at R. S.

Saturday's arrivals numbered over two hundred } a Liuooln Institute excursion of oves 160 registered at the New Columbia, and a railroad excursion the participant* of which made the dial fontc their home. On the arrival of the Sunday train the number was augmented by about 76 more. The New Columbia gave the first hop of the seasou on Saturday night. MyGhurg's band of Philadelphia was in attendance. The music was excellent and the young folks all had a splendid time, and the older ones whoso hairs are turning gray declared that they ©jyoyed the sport as much as the younger ones. On Friday of last week, Mr. B. B. Swain made the soundings for the new iron pier at the foot of Decatur street. Ax a distance of 900 feet from shore he found a depth of 10} feet of water, at 1000 feet the result was 20| feet. In front of Grant street or the New Depot, seaward 600 feet the water wo* 14 feet deep, at 100 feet more gave 17 feet, and at 800 the depth was 21} feet. These surroundings show that wo have a sufficient depth for the largest steamers if they desire to oome. Chkistophkb HOUSEHOLD HINTS. To pxavknt meat from scorching during roasting, place a basin of water in the oven ; the steam generated prevents scorching and makes the meat cook better. Indian Loaf. — Take two cups of sour milk, one cup of sweet milk, two cups of Indian meal, one cup of flour, six tahlespoonfuls of molasses, one teaspoon - ful of soda, salt to taste. Steam two hours. For worms and flies infesting house plants several readers of tho Tribune recommend watering them with limewater. Close the opening at the bottom of the pot, fill with lime-water and let it stand for en hour or two, then remove the plug at the bottom and drain off If one application is insufficient try second. Eco Toast. — Make a soft < asf have ready one or more fresh eg which have been boiled twenty lir les ; remove the shells, cut them in shoes, place upon t lie. toast and season. They may be euton wTflT fmpuh7ly~By the most delicate invalid, as an egg boiled twenty minutes is even more easily digested than when soft boiled. Underclothing. — Winter or summer, nothing bettor can bo worn next the .skin than a loose, red woolen flannel shirt: red, for white flannel furls up, mats together, and becomes tight, heavy and impervious ; woolen, not cotton, because that merely absorbs the moisture from the surface, while (woolen) flannel conveys it from the skin and deposits it in drop* on the cgtaide of the shirt, where it is soori dried without injury to the body. The latest expedient for ridding a house of rats is furnished by a writer in the fk8" f ' ' t a clean Our v> tHMv Jetesu*. .. | vermin by making whitewash yellow with coppera.% and covering the stones and rafters of the cellar with a thick coat of it. In over)' crevice whero a rat might tread we put tlie crystals of the oop|>era5, and scatter the .same in the corners of the floor. The result was a perfect stampede of rat* and mice. 8in«e that time not a footfall of either rats or mice has been heard ubout the house. Every spring a coat of the same yellow wash is given to the cellar as a rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysenl^^^fever attacks the family. State News.
