TEMPERANCE IN WlLMlNGTON--Ne
happened at temperance meeting in Whining
ton on Tuesday last, on the occasion of opening
a temperance Hotel. II was addressed by sew
cral speakers among them, the Rev. Mr. Cham
beers from Philadelphia, who was quite eloquent,
and very severe upon liquor sellers. The "mor-

speakers we believe, and the ground taken that
the sale Of alcoholic drinks should be made d
criminal offence.
The Hotel is kept by Mr.. Joseph Willis, for
merly known to many in this county as ali agent

MAN DROW NED-A Won

MAN DRON MEDIA young man
from the neighborhood of Elk Iron Works,
named Charles Williams, was drowned
in Elk River near Turkey Point, week
before last. The circumstances we un-
derstaHd to be these. He was taking a
passenger in a small boat from a fishing
shore to The steam tow boat John Jay
Atler the passenger was taken on board,
the steamer started before the rope that
made the small boat fast to her was un-
looscd, which caused il 10 swing round
in the eddy behind her and upset. The
captain we understand was aware of the
accident, but kept on and left the man to
drown. If this be true, he sAo uld be
prosecuted for murder.
