Three small children were fatal y poisoned at Wilmington, Del. by eating raw siveet potatoes the vines of which had been sprinkled with Paris green. Hanlan, the representative American v oarsman, won, by three lengths, the race for tho championship of the world. Thus America leads the world'in another sport. On Monday last tho Baptist Conference passed tho following in regard to the production of the "PasHjon Play"; "Resolved, That a.i a conference wo protest against this sacriligious use of the most sacred thing of our religion."

Two young ladies in Arlington, this State, wore recently slighted by a social and literary society of that village, for no other reason than that they did house work for a living, and made themselves usoful a* well as ornamental. It is to be regretted that the trees at Thompson's Run are all to he cut down. This is one of the many romanVSc looking spots of this vicinity and has for years been much admirod by many of our residents. Thus all must givo way to progress. % It strikes us that literary men delight to torture the unfortunate compositor. Dean Stanley'* manuscripts, for in«tance, are so bad that his publishers said that it is hard to find sny ooippositor who will undertake to set them up. They have first to be copied by a clerk familiar with the Dean's hieroglyphics. By a beautiful dispensation of Provi dence, whenover a poor, shiftless, good-for-nothing man is sent into our world, some active, go-ahead little woman is invariably fastened to him, to show liiin along through, and keep his head above water.

The streets are filled with excited people —some weeping, some cursing, and a general wail of woe and vengeance fills the sir.

— Our Washington correspondent, whose letter will be found in another column, advances the idea that at the investigation of the Wast Point outrage* it was proved that Whit laker, the colored caI del, was the author of his own injuries. We pan't, fur the life of u*, see wherein ! he finds auy such evidence, and from our standpoint the case was so plainly against the white cadets that we can . hardly appreciate the force of "Au- : gust's" argument. When they shear sheep iu Australia, 1 they mean business, as may be imagined, when the flocks aggregate over 200,000 I head. There are some proprietors who ! own more than 500,000 sheep. Eddes A Co., of New Houth Wales, upon one of their sheep farms at Burrawary, had a sheep shearing which lusted ten weeks, and was concluded early in December, during which time no le»s than 20fi,123 sheep were shorn. To do this work 100 shearers, besides the regular fariu hands, wore employed. "Justice," in la»L woe*'* "Star," complains of the Gazcttb for noting the fact that a youth from Dyer's Creek was intoxicated on election night, and not exposing our own townsmen who "drank of the same.'1 "Justice" seems to feel that the item referred to was in tended as a slur at the village of Dyer's Creek, and in this he is mistaken. The citizen* of that pleasant little hamlet have done much toward the succea* of I U > W * blish-f, — ' - **■ * * ►

llousers" boing in tho same condition as the youth in question we have but little to say. We, of course, are not qualified to say that the charge is false, but we dp say, that, if it is true, they kept out of sight. We are sorry to say that there arc those in the town who imbibe too freely, and when this is the cuse we consider them no Umui to blame than those of other towns who do the same. If "Justice" desires to make any further state- \ ment tho Gazbttb will lend him the spaee. Much has been said by thencwsj»apers of this state in reference to Utepropoeod changes in the Constitution of New Jersey. Nome arc doing all that lies in their power to convince the members of tho legislature that there is but one side to the question, viz : to adopt the proposod amendments. Their arguments are that by the legislature meeting but once in two years, instead of every year, as at present, a great decrease would be made in the ex]>enscs of the state government. This, at the nrst glance, Iboa* i**y convincing, but tho more thought one gives it the weaker becomes this point. If tho only object of our people is to save money, (hen that object can be best reached by abolishing the present rule of representation and elect one member of the legislature from each congressional district. The answer to tli*.« would at once be, "Oh that would not Answer the requirements oi tho people. They would be deprived the right of local benefit from the legislature." Admitted. But then the passage of the proposed amend- ' ineivis would also cripple the usefulness of the legislature oven to u greater degree than would the above. A* the days come and go there is constunt necessity for some new law was discovered after the adjournment of the legislature it would be two years before its passage could be effected, iu this space of time the interest* of hundreds of individual*, as well as those of the people at large, would be made to suffer, and the industries of the State retarded in thoir 1 progrots. Another objection is tho tampering with tho present Senatorial terms. The more change that i* made in this matMr thr> worse )Vie romVirirm of IV. The State of Connecticut has had this question put before it in all its phases and lias very wisely decided that a change would not be beneficial. COMMUNICATIONS. |The following letter has been handed us for publication, it ox plains itself.— It).] Cam May, Nov. 15, 1880. Dbab Sis : 1 am' authorised by Jno. Hilgert's Son*, Sugar Refiners to propose to the farmers of Cape May Co. that if they will agree to cultivate tho coming season 1500 to 2000 acres of 'A inher SugarCane,' they, Hilgert's Sons, will construct a plant somewhero along the lineof the Cape May railroad, costing not less than $40,000. They cannotfrom test of tho experimental works erected Bt CpM ° Ting the last season, make It t- - - on a limited scale. On an acre of good land, well cultivated in drills 3 feet apart, tho farmer can realise .30 bushel of seed par acre, weighing 57 lbs. U> the bushel which is worth as much as corn, besides 3 tons of blade fodder worth $5 per ton, making $26 per acre equal to corn on the best land. Hilgert's Sons guarantee and will pay for every bushel of seed delivered at any Railroad station 40 cents per bush* I el. It I* telling *t this place now fbr 50

! J _ — — — cent* per bushel. It is gooff feed i<> horse#, cattle, hog* and chickens. it excel* corn lor fattening hof* as proven i by myself. The seed ground into ll«»ui makes as good griddlo cakes as buck wheat j if planted c orly iu April the i crop can be harvested in August, as 4t . i matures in from 90 to 100 days. ' I The seooud crop of shoots from the » stocks will grow from 4 to 5 feet before j • frost, making most excellent fodder . for stock during the winter ; thus it | will be seen there Is value it* the seed, j ' that it is more profitable to the farmer than a corn crop. Now in addition to tho above the said Hilgert's Hons will pay for the Cane delivered at any Rail1 road station in Cape May Co. $1.50 per ' ton. Twenty ton* per acre i* a low and reasonable estimate for an acre of good 1 1 land cultivated in the manner proj *o»ed, realising to the farmer $30 per acre, which added to the value of seed and fodder, makes $55 per acre, less the cfist of cultivating : [the cost of cultivating is not more than corn J, strij ping, bundling and cutting, which labor can all be done by the farmer within hiinaelf, paying him more than any otJiorcrophecan cultivate, and realizing to Lion-elf the whole $55 loss what he may pay for fet tilizers, which should not be mora than $5 an acre. This enterprise if encouraged will do more to advance the agricultural interests of Cape May than can at the first glance be imagined.

It will bring into the oountry in the neighborhood of $180,000 annually, to remain here — "It is a big thing." Please notify the formers in your viciuity and make an appointment for me to meet thein at whatever place and time they may designate and I will be pleased to confer with them and atoertain how many acres will be put under tillage the coming season. Metars Hilgert's Sons must know very soon in order that the necessary machinery may be ordered in time and that farmer* in Delaware and Maryland who are anxious to cultivate the Cane on the foregoing terms, may be notified. \V.

The return of the twelve tribes of Israel to Jerusalem will be "nothing to t lie inroad of ]»oliticianH on Washington the coming winter. The movement lias already begun and minor lights by the hundred and major luminaries by the dozen have ulre&dv put in an appearance. Among the latter are Hon. Wm. Kosson. Minister to Austria, and con-gressman-elect from Jowa, und Mr. Porter, Governor-elect of Indiana. It is said that Mr. Kusson has come ostensibly for the pur)»ose of receiving orders t'rom the State Department previous to hi# departure for Europe, while wiseacres assert that it is solely to lay pipes and pull wires, having theSpcnkosliijiof the next Congress in view. It i* thought that lili chance is a pretty good one, but politic# arc Very uncertain just now. \* for the appearance of Governor elect Porter it is conceded that he hn» come here on general principle#, as being the best thing he could do under the circumstances. The report of General Schofield in the case of Whittaker the West Point Cadet, the subject of an alleged assault meets the approval of army officers generally in his section. It will un- . doubtedly have the effect of preventing to any extent the appointment of colored cadets to tho Military academv. The whole testimony goes to show that the whole thing was a fabrication on the part of Whittaker and exonorate* the cadets from any complicity in the matter. The President a no hi* Cabinet have been at Fortress Monroe for tho past few days to witness a review of the Navy in Hampton Roads — Although a very complimentary account of the affair ap- » pears in the New York journals, yet it is a source of dissatisfaction that our Navy is such as it is, useless for either ; offense or defense. It can neither run i nor light, being slow in speed and weak . in the components of warlike efficiency. The blacks who wore convicted of tile murder of an inoffensive man by the name of llirth will expiate thair crime on the gallows next Friday. It was feared that Executive clemency would be invoked to prevent their execution, hut the President has declined to inter fere except in the case of ouo whose sentence has been commuted to imprisonment for life. It is a very fortu- ' nate thing for the safety of life and property in tho District of Columbia that these men are to be made a dead example of. Had such not been the case one's existence hrt'o would hardly ho worth the asking, as there are so many reckless men among the blacks in Washington who only want Uie opportunity to either rob or murder in order to take advantage of it. The bronze statue of Admiral Farragut executed by Mrs. Yinnie Ream Hoxie and erected on Farragut Square of this city will be unveiled on th* 10th day of December next. There will be' a large attendance of tbe Naval Attaches to take part in the ceremonies. The approaching society season will be a long one, -and promises to be remarkable for gaiety a# well. Lent does not begin until March 2nd, but even then the season will not be considered ss closed, as so many of our citizen* do
