Ju!ia's father was a wealthy ship

member the firm Of Hallowell and
Haddington. He was an upright
and highly honorable man; but whose

his power could be exercised.
Robert Moultrie was a clerk IN the
counting room, and his salary, which
was his sole dependence, though tar
above the p~ittance usually allowed to
Young men similarly situated, and
amply sufficient to warrant his assum'

elevate him to that Importance IN So

The character of this young gen.

A couple Of precious raseals. by the name of
- Blankman, brothers, protesting to be Dem
fists, from Philadelphia, took up temporary resi-
dence at the quiet and respectable Hotel ofJacob
Dehapen, Esq. in Newark, New Castle County,
Delaware; where they remained for several weeks,
during which time, the wife of ono of them was
confined These fellows had horse and carriage
with uem-dpring oil this time they received
every attention from an attentive host and kind
hostess, the landlord paying some small bills for
them during the lady's illness; oil which board.
ing, horse keep and all was frequently promised.
What then was the landlords establishment when
they packed up their baggage. ordered their horse
and carriage in order to leave the State on Sunday
morning last, when they supposed eiDii process
could not stop them. The landlord attempted to
stop their baggage, but they abused. bued, throat
cned and drew a dirk on him ind succeeded in
getting off, leaving the lady and her child at the
Rail Road Depot near Newark, to 60 to PhiadeL
phia in the cars, and proceeding themselves, in
their carriage to Philadelphia, by way Of Whining
ton. Mr. Dehayen the landlord followed them,
got criminal warrant for threats and drawing a
deadly ,oeapon on him, procured the assistance of
High Constable Dapid I. Moody, of Wilmington,
and followed the culprits who made all haste to
get out of the way. Constable Moody and De-
haven overlook them near Marcus Hook and ro-
ceiyed nothing but threats and abuse-they ali
went along as far as Chester, when each party
called on u La,cyr. The Constable went to a
magistrate and got his warrant lacked and fol-
n Il = x,,,,p nd attUhf
them at Darby, whom he attempted to arrest them.
They mado battle. Moody downod one OF them'
and was about hand. cutting him when the other
snatclled his pistol and fired it at him, the load
going in the ground near the officers foot without
iniuring him. A number of good quakers and
others, uptolders of the iaus, then came to tho
scene of action; ascertained tho facts of the case
and finding the officer with proper process, assisted
in tyipr the two scoundrels, and Moody brought
them along us far as Chester, when Dehayen joined
him, they then proceeded towards Wilmington.
When these two villains got near Naaman's creek'
in this State, fearing Delapars laps might do
them justice, they begged Justify, paid Mr.. Deha-
ven his bill, and were permitted to 60. These
two chaps, gcnteel in appearance, have been depre-
dating on the people 10 various towns and villages
in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware. New Jer-
scy and New York, getting in debt, taking all un-
due advantages. We hope this last adventure

well. She will arouse as sleeping giant in No.
vembcr next, and give Rodney from to 800 ma
jority at the least.
New Castle, what will she dol She is the bat.
tic ground. The wings conquered at the last
election by between l and 400 majority. Sheriff
Moore had a majority Of between 900 and 400
over his loco loco opponent Gardner, but those
who had been hanging on to the county Offices for
twelve years. let 60, or were shaken off with diff.
ficulty-they long for the flesh.pots again---they
will fight with desperation, using al! undue means
spending all the money they can raise-circulating
all sorts of falschoods &C., but the wings haye the
power-they have the votes, and if they will only
turn out on election day, We can beat the lokies
from 100 Ito 200 votes. If this is moi donc apathy
alone ~ defeat us, not tho want Of votes, but the
cunning and industry Of the lokies. With such
prospects the wings must not be asleep-the lokies
are ever wacthill-sver ready to take advantages
be wise wings stand united and victory must crown
the good cause in every County in the State in
1912, as il did in the ever memorable and glorious

Temperance and Politics.

Who is there that docs not admire the great
temperance revolution effected and going on within
a few ycars7 Who is there SO lost to the feel
ings Of humanity and the dictates Of virtue, that
would roll back on the human race this avalanche
of pollution, suffering, ignominy, crime and
death? This great reform has snatclied from
dcp.itution and infamy hundreds Of thousands Of
the Lying, and it will sape from vice and crime
millions yet pubsrn, but with all this we arc and
always have been opposed to minglng temperance
with politics as we are religion with politics. The

neither will we support those who drink little

prescription in every form, except the prescription
of vice and folly. We know some men SO super

belongs to temperance society. Whit will nine

for rum. Cundopr therefore compels US 10 admit

/, The PRoqREss or THE LARD On rRApE.--The
manufacture of lard oil appears to be increasing
with much rapidity at Cincinnati. The Chron.
icle speaks of the article manufactured by Mr.,
Lee, as admirable for affording clear, agreeable
light, and as possessing a decided advantage in
point of economy. The editor adds:
sThe importance of this manufacture to the
interests Of the West, can hardly be over estima-
ted. II will change the whole course of the
Sperm Oil and Candle trade. We happen to

The IHrEtcnnEsT.---Mr. Bolts said in his
place on Monday, that the Impeachment project
was exclusively his own, that he would carry 1T
out in the usual manner. He conceived it neces-
sary to uphold the dignity of Congress, The
Madisonian persists that such movement was IN
contemplation by the leading Wings in Congress-
This, ii is known, has already been positively con-
tradicted by the National Intelligepcer. The
story of an impeachment by the Wings, or any
number of them. is very generally discredited in
this quarter.
