Whether the winter is harsh or mild, the month of March may always be. depended upon for its ftill quota of stormy and blustering days. March, 1880, hoa certainly had its share of disagreeable weather. Friend $himp at the depot has a brood of young chickens which when they were six weeks old were adopted by another tarn and are thriving Wfc*er her protection. This la an unusual c*v as hens are generally very particular ato whose children they cover. The fallowing conversation took plar< upon one of our street* a short time since: Said A, "there's a pin, pick it up/' "Oh," said B, t4I nevefr stop for a pin union* I need it." A replied, "my motto is, pick up a pin when you see jt, and you will have it when you need it." Oar thank* are due to l>r. Maurice Boeslcy the efficieut 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 4 1 from *t at a future jjay. looking into the. ice house of Charles Garrison he discovered a dog imprisoned therein. Mr. Mills at onoe took the dog out but it dted in a few minutes, evidently from the effects of starvation. Fill your iee houses and the dogs can't get in ; Another wreck is reported from Station number 31. The Bark Douglas* from South America, bound to New York, with a cargo of scrap railroad iron, came ashore on Peck's beach, opposite Life Saving Station No. 31, on 8unday morning last at 4 o'clock. The crow, numbering 10 in alt,' were rescued at 7 o'clock, by the boats from the Station. The wrecked vessel carried about 400 tons. She had been out 85 days and encountered severe weather, her compass became worthless, and in sounding the lead was lost. 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. We understand that she was insured. HANDSOME WAGON. We had the pleasure, a few days since, of examining the beautiful wagon of Thad. Van Gildsr A Son, of Petersburg This wagon has just left the hands of the painter, Mr. Frank Downan of Beesley'a Point, and we oan safely say that it has tro equal in this county, and jfast, in South Jersey. The mechanical fixtures compare favorably with the painting and in feet all part* are in unison. These gentlemen have earned a reputation for fair and honest dealing, good stock and reasonable prions, and this handsome wagon is 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. '

The first meeting in Cape May county will be held at the Court House 014 Wednesday next, April 14th, at quarter of two o'clock , lilmrp, and it ie to be hoped that there will be a large attendance. The object of the association is an excellent one, (that of promoting Agrldulttoto by Scientific investigation and experiment on fertilisers, soils, needs, cattle feed, useful and injurious plan U and insects, crop failures, etc.,) and when it is k nWn. thatthe meeting i„ to be ad4r<-»t-d by Hon. Tbonw.il. Dudly, Prof. Cbok, and Jame* Nelson, public oonfidence in the movement must necessarily follow. The principal station is located at Rutgeria College, and any thing that can be done to forward the farming Interests of tho state will recieve attention . To put itself in closer oonnection with the farmers, 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.' TUCKAHOE ITEMS. Mr. John Busby died last week at the advanced age of 86 years. He was buried at Petersburg on Wednesday.

Mr. Lynn Steelman. son of Anthony Steolman, Esq., arrived home from Pennington Seminary on Saturday evening last, for a short vacation. Our quiet little town was thrown into excitement on Tuesday last by the grand wedding that haa 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 cotiple 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 brid»«ps;d« w»ro Miss SeW* - - M auiviuv,^.. - /%_ and "Hoffman did "the polite" as groomsmen. About eighty friends witnessed the ceremony and after we had 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 Kerenode by the Juvenile Band who StA * * were made happy by the gift of a V. Later in the evening the larger boys were permitted to congratulate and then partake of ice cream, cake etc. We have not hod so grand a wedding tut this since that of Dr. Marshall a few months since. That they mag have long life and happiness is the sincere wish of Delta. CAPE MAY*. Something new turns up every day and all is going along nicely. For a good Sogar, call at R. 8. Hand's, and try one of his little Jewels. The work of remodeling and repainting Congress Hall will begin next week.

To rxjsrKsrr meat from scorching during roasting, place a basin of water in the oven ; the steam generated prevents scorching and makes the meat cook belter. India* Loaf. — Take two cups of sour milk, One cup of sweet milk, two cups of Indian meal, one cup of flour, six tablespoonfula of molasses, one teaspoonful of soda, salt to taste. Steam two hours. For worms and flies infesting house plants several readers of the Tribune recommend watering them with limewater. Close the opening at the bottom of the pot, fill with lime-water and let it stand for an hour or two, then remove the plug at the bottom and drain off. If one application is insufficient try a second. Ego Toast. — Make a soft toast j have ready one or more fresh eggs which have been boiled twenty minutes ; remove the shells, cut them in slices, place upon the toast and season. They may be eaten with Impunity "by the 1 delicate invalid, as an egg boiled twenty minutes is even more easily digested than when soft boiled. Undkrc loth 1x0. — Winter or summer, nothing better can be wom 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 drops on tlie outside of the shirt, where it is soon dried without injury to the body. The latest expedient for ridding a ^ oeriv. ys : clean our premise* of these detestable vermin by making whitewash yellow with copperas, and covering the stones and rafters of the cellar with a thick coat of it. In every crevice where a rat might tread wc put the crystals of the copperas, and scatter the same in the corners of the floor. The result was a perfect stampede of rats and mice. 8ince that time not a footfall of either rats or mice has boon heard about the house. Ever}' spring a coat of the same yellow wash is given to the cellar as a , rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery or fever attacks the family. » » « State News.
