School Meefing-Fatal .Accident-Im-
provements-" Tatler.p
DEAR BEACON considerable excite
ment prevailed at our school meeting
on Saturday, and some pretty harsh ex-
pressionsiwere used by those warm on
the subject but | am happy to say that
the agitation has now pretty generally
subsided, and halcyon days are again
prospective, 9.la a.
"A very serious accident occurred in
the neighborhood OF Cannon's Ferry, in
this County, on Tuesday, the 2Sth inst,
the history of which is as follows; A
gentleman named Kendall Beach, was
driving a yoke of oxen to a Landing for
load of lime, when they became fright
ened and started off in run, he, at the
same time ran ahead Of them, and in
his efforts 10 stop them, unfortunately
fell, the oxen and cart passing over him,
and fatally injuring him. sp
Drs Shipley ard Martin were called
TO him, and rendered every assistance
their skill could suggest, all of which
proved remedless, and on The following
morning he expired. The most remarka-
BILE feature in the case was that there
could not hefound .sirgle scar or bruise
upon any ,paft of his body. How sud-
den the chahgel How true the adage !
"In the mitlst oflife we are in DEATH"
Considerable improvement is mani
fest in ourItown. Mr.. Jacob Wallace
is about finishing very neat, two story,
frame dwelling, for w. B. Horsey, Es-
quire, on Market Street, and two hand
some M. D. Offices are about being erec-
ted on the s3me Street; aad, again, our
worthy land lord is putting, his house
through thorough repair, which will
soon be rendered very comfortable
hotel.
"Tatler," of the Reporter, in his letter
of the 30th states that the United States
District Court was to have me at New
Castle yesterday, the 3rd, this is mis-
take, the Cotrt of which he speaks is to
meet on Tuesday, (not Monday as he
states,) the eleventh instant.
Very Truly, INDEPENDENT.

Reply to Agric0la.

MEssRs EDlToRs IL noticed in your
paper of the 31st ult,, communication
from "Agricola,' in which he complains
most bitterly of what he is pleased to term
an advance of freight on Guano. Itmay
be well to inform the gentleman that
the uniform rates on Guano, from Phila-
delphia 10 Milford, has been $3.50 per
ton with but very few exceptions a
short time previous TO the new regula-
tions of freights by the Captains of this
port; so that it is not an advance but
merely going back TO and establishing
the former uniform, and as we .hink ve-
ry reasonable rates. Your correspon-
dent seems also, deficient in knowledge
of the freights changed on the article in
question by our neighbors of Frederica,
or otherwise his threat to patronize Fred
erica vessels amounts to mere gas, for
the uniform rates on Guano from Phila-
delphia to. Frederick is $1.75 per ton
and 10 Milton $2.25. He ought also to
know, that when the farmers purchase
the article in the city, it is always in
small lots, requiring seperate bills and
double trouble to the Captains. He
should also bear in mind the fact that
there has been general advance in pri-
ces Of the farmers products, and of eve
rything else, and that we are consequent
ly compelled to pay our men from 81 to
81 per month more than we paid them
three years. ago, and the same rates for
our stores, and by the latter the farmer
Of course is benefited. II i1.
We cherfully subscribe TO the motto
sLive and let Live" but wsf do not ic-
cognize that principalin Agricola's COM
plant, or doctrine; it is unjust to say
that $3.50, is an advance on Guano, and
still more unjust to say the watermeni
must be bound down to the same old
rates of freight amid unusual prosperity
and advance of prices. Another thing
should be considered in this matter viz:
The well known fact that the naviga.
tion Of our creek is a very difficult one
and that vessels with back freight are
generally detained long enough TO have
come up, light and cleared with another
freight and~in the end make as much as
by their back ffeigbt. a
Respectfully, A WATERMAN.

tits the establishment of steamboat COM
municatibn from Florence to Philadelphia.
We are aware there are some who have
stood alooffrom this enterprise, and thrown
on littlecold water when occasion would
suit, byssing the scheme would not do
it would. d.SfilA=-a boat could not be supper
ted--the fiver was too narrow-z-and many
otherin ingenious sayings, to suit their own
convenience; butitappears the greater part
of them are stockholders in some other
boat. To prove the thing and reduce mat
tiers to certainty, our enterprising farm
ers have chartered the steamboat Liberty
to make trial trip up the river. She came
in on last Tuesday morning, and left on
the following day, making two successful
trips upand down the river, from its mouth
to Florence, loaded with passengers. She
was timed at one hour and ten minutes
against the tide, and fifty minutes with the
tide, removing all doubt as to the practical
bility of steambcating on Dover River; and
we havepo hesitancy now in giving it as our
opinion that the enterprize will go ahead,
despite ofall the the throwers-on of cold
water. and by the first of August suitable
boat will be plying up and down Dover riv-
er, stretching out her wings to Murderkill
Hundred and st. Jones' Neck, who will reap
the benefits of their industry and enter
prize for years to come. D.

Booth and Mlligan both being sick.
The Temperance question seems to be
reviving here; we had the first Temper
ance lecture for three years past, last
night, delivered BY one one Of your most
worthy citizens, Rev G.. W.. Kennedy.
The lecture was well attended and list
ened to with marked attention, bis argu-
ments were good and impressive.
The School Commissioners Of this dis
trict by the assistance OF Col. johnson,
have settled the question of the bounds
of this School District by an actual sur
vey, which question has been of no little
controversy among us for several years,
and more especially since the passage of
the new license law. By the surveysand
the establishment of the bounds of the
district, it has taken off several of the
signers TO the petitions for the sale of the
creter, ard the strong probability is that
the petition or petitions for the sale of
liquor in this district will be little mi
nos, and no license will be granted at the
next term of our court.
The workmen commenced on the new
Banking house on Monday last, and are
running up the wall rapidly. Our citi-
zens appear to be enlvened up TO day by

look cheerful, it is only to be hoped that

Meeting ofiho Dover River Steamboat
Company.
MAGNOLIA, March 31st. 1854.

MAGNOLIA, March 31st, 1854.
The Dover River Steamboat Company
held their sixth meeting in the Academy
at Magnolia, District No. so, Kent Co.,
Del. The meeting was opened by CALI
ing Asa W.'Lodahd 10 the chair, who,
after stating the object of the meeting,
declared it then open, and ready for bus
mess.
The Committee appointed at theit last
meeting TO charter the Steamboat Libers
ty to make an experimental trip up the
river, then reported, that the Steamboat
Liberty arrived at the meuth of the river
on Tuesday, the 28th, in The morning,
leaving there twenty minutes before ten
o'clock, she arrived at Florence at elev
en- stopping at FIVE landings on the way
10 take on passengers and landing at
Warren's 1000 shingles and 1900 feet Of
lumber.
She performed the trip in one hour and
twenty minutes, against a strong northi
west wind, being a distance of eight
miles. And on the 29lh, she made the
same distance down the river In one hour
and ten minutes, against strong food
tide; leaving it beyond all doubt 10 the
doubling part of the community fhat
steamboaiing is practicable in Dover Riv-
er, Isl. Jones Creek)
The meeting was then very ably ad
dressed by S. I. Warren, Esq, setting
forth the benefits to the community that
would naturally grow out of the establish
ment of steamboat communication be-
tween Florence and Philadelphia. Then
followed Burchenel Heveren and j. B.
Conner, with very appropriate speeches.
After which Jas. L, Heverin one of
the committee appointed to frame Con-
stitution for the Company, presented one
under the name of "Dover River Steam
boat Company" which name was unan-
imously adopted. The Constitution was
then read, and amended in some res
poets. l. now stands approved by the
Company, and will be adopted at their
next meeting.
The Committee on Sale of stock re-
ported that sales had been affected to the
amonnt of about six thousand dollars.
The meeting then adjourned TO meet
again on Saturday the eighth of April at
the same place, al o'clock P. NJ, re-
questing all the stockholders TO be pres
ent, as they would come to some definite
conclusion on that day, respecting the
purchase Of a steamboat TO run between
the above named places.

In England, whether man shall be an
elector or not, depends upon he house
he lives in. If his annuel rent is ten
dollars, then he is qualified 10 vote, it
being presumed that person living in a
poorer house than that is not competent
TO exercise the right of suffrage. The
consequence is, that in some villages
there is not voter. A Yorkshige man
ufacturer lately stated, that of one thou
sand men in his employ, there was no,
one who possessed a vote yet if that
manufacturer was the proprietor Of the
entire borough. he would either 60 to
Parliment himself, on bis own vote, or
