eT While riding through New Castle coun-
T.a lew days ago, we were much gratifed to
lind the crops. and everything in the farming
line, SO prosperous The great staple of that
county, wheat, is generally fine indeed; we
never recollect seeing the crop so unusually
good. The yield viii be abundant, and the far
mer amply paid for his toll. At the present
prices of grain there is no business so certain
Of success as farming. We passed through
some beautiful agricultural districts, particular
ly that denominated Delaware City Neck
The farm houses and out-buildings ere beautiful
structures the land certainly could not appear
in a much more highly cultivated condition.
We observed that the extensive peach orchards
of the Messrs. Reybold, had very few peaches
upon the trees, but in other parts of the county
we saw many orchards which were well loaded
with fruit The yield of peaches, we think,
viii be about two-third, and the apples about
half crop. sss>.... - s..--,~. ,..es

CoSsEcTIcur.-THe Prohi6itory LGD En-
ocfed.-The Legislature Of the land of steady
habits Srather misnomer, by the way,) passed
the new prohibitory act last week. The vote
in the House stood l4s yeas to 65 nays-in. the
Senate ID yeas to nay! The Governor has
probably signed it before this time 1t will be
remembered that he recommended the passage
OF tae law IN his message. There is nothing
Seymour-ish about him-he is aeverv inch a
man." The law goes into operation the first
day of August. The Connecticut Law is an
improvement on other similar laws. 1t should
be enforced at oiee, and with great energy, so
as to destroy, inra great measure, the influence
OF the greg-shops at the next election.

INVASION or GuBA.-The New York Times
publishes private letter from jackson, Miss,
which mentions, merely as rumor, however,
that Gen. ouitInan and staff are now in New
Orleans, that they have all the forces for the
invasion of Cuba enlisted which shey deem
necessary; that two ships with arms and am
munition have been for scme time in the Gulf,
and that 800, 900 have been obtained, and that
many merchants and wealthy men in New Or
leans, who have hitherto held aloof, now favor
the enterprise and viii give it their support.

THs WORKING OF THE LrouoR Law IN
fHIIADELPHIA.-Asa general thing, the Pro-
clamation of Mayor Conrad has been respected
by the tavern-keepers, although several are
seHing to ocustomersenteringt through back doors,
while others are selling openly, with a design of
testing the constitutionality of the law. Most
OF the rummies have resorteG to Camden and
Windmill Island, where immense sales are
going on at double prices. The Lager Beer
Saloons were also closed. and several had their
signs craped, and flags displayed at half mas
and craped. One exhibited placard, "Gone to
church for the 'ease of creation open t, :
morrow" The city was uncommonly quiet all
day Sunday, not drunken man seen.

The New Castle County Temperance
Convention

MeS at Delaware City, on Saturday last, the
18th of June JAMES W MooRE, the last Pre-
sident, opened the meeting. 3
On motion, the Convention went into an cleo
tion for officers for the ensuing year. James V.
Moore was elected President; Samuel McCaul-
ley, of Wilmington, Henry Cazer, of Penca-
der, Vice Presidents; and Edward Belts Secre-
tary. sv.,ss '%fs.l e- =, ~
On motion, the Committee on Business was
appointed by the Chair, as follows:-George g.
Lobdell, Henry Cazier, WIN. R. Smith, Rey-
meth Weldon, John Appleton, Nathaniel Smith
ers and DR.. Robert McCabe, who, after retiring,
reported the following resolutions. --.s.-.,
Resolved, That every true American should
boldly ayow and advocate the passage of law
prohibiting the traffic in intoxicating liquors;
that we rejoice at the great and extensive
change in public opinion on this subject, and
believe the time has fully come when that opin-
ION calls for and demands of our Legislature
the passage of such law.
Resolved, That we will not vote for any can
didate for the next Legislature, unless such
candidate 10 known to be in favor of the enact
ment of a law prohibiting the sale of intoxica-
ting liquors, and unless such candidate will, if
elected, vote for such law, with provisions to
render it effective.
. Resolved, That so far as the existing poiti-
cal parties have expressed an opinion, we regret
TO say that the Democratic is one more of def
ance than OF sympathy, and the Wing is weak,
unsatisfactory and evasiye, and if they disap-
point US in giving us names for which we can
Tcensclentlously vote we will proceed to form for
ourselves ticket IN conformity with our views,
sentiments and purposes
On motion, report Of committee was accept
ed.
The lst and 2d resolutions were adopted
without debate, and MIR. Smith moved to amend
the Sd by striking out all after the word aya-
sive, which was voted down, and after debate
by Messrs. Lobdell, Smith, Stats, Bowman,
Appleton, Smithers, Wilson, McCabe, Tatum,
Moore, &c, was adopted.
On motion, the next quarterly meeting will
be held at New Castle, on the first Tuesday in
September.
About thirty persons were in attendance, and
the discussion on the third resolution was quite
spirited. The debate was mostly in regard tc
the dependence on the old parties, and the policy
OF running third ticket, as separately organ
lied temperance party. 1t was the opinion o
most of the Convention, that if the Prohibition.
lists depended on separate temperance ticket
they would be sadly defeated, and one of the
speakers said, (witl the request to be corrected
! If wrong,) that in no instance where Prohibi
tory Law has been passed, were the member
of the Legislature elected on the thrd-party
principle, but out of the old parties The
The delegates, generally thought it best to wal
aud see what course would be taken by tn,
other parties, and if they did not adopt measure
wIlch the temperance men could support, thcl
they would themselves form a ticket

BaoKE JAiL.-The old man CORNISH has at
last succseded in breaking from his prison con-
6nensnt, and has made tracks for parts un-
known. This occurred some time during last
night. He effected his escape by removing the
bricks and mortar from the same place where
he had made two previous attempts. Twice
had he picked his way through the wall until
daylight shone through the cracks, when his
attempts were discovered and frustrated. The
mortar being fresh on account Of the repairing
necessary TO be done, he had easy work, thus
time, in removing the bricks. The unsound
condition Of the Jail of this county, it's walls
showing many evidences Of former escapes and
breakages, is matter worthy the attention OF
the proper authorities. AS it is. there is no
security for the safe-kceping Of any criminal.---

reward Of two hundred dollars for the apprehen-
sion Of the escaped criminal Dover Reporter.
