NEW BUILDINGS, &C.-Am,ng the new
buildings now going up in Ekton, are new
brick dwellings for E. Brown, Jr., James
Denny, VIM. j. Jones, and The Cecil Wing.
Mr.. James b. White is building new school

x Crcswell, Enoch Crouch, Col. G. R. Howard
and Samuel Miller are making or have made
extensive repairs. Aldridge & Grant haze
bought the old Smith-shop in The Hollow

busy, and the present summer will be one Of
great Improvement to the town.

Town Lors. We hail it as propitious for
Elkton that building lots arc now in the
market in eligible situations and at fair
prices. a LOT of ground near the Railroad
Depot has been laid out into streets and
building lots, and another lot belonging to
the T.. r. Company, we understand, is also
for sale. We trust no spirit of speculation
Oh the part Of any moneycd citizens will lead
to the buying up of these grounds for the
purpose of awaiting an advance in prices.
Let those have them who wish to build at
once-let the town grow as its business de-
mands it should, and the increase of popula.
ton will tend to the general advantage of
all. Hitherto it has been almost impossible
for mechanic or man with moderate means
to obtain ground to build on, and we arc
glad to see change in this respect.

LIQUOR SHOPS AND THEIR EFFECTS.-The
following extract from the address of Judge
Hopper, to the Grand Jury of Kent county,
Md, breatkes proper spirit and is worthy
Of perusal -
There has been so little criminal business
in your county for tho last few wears, it
seems scarcely necessary to give you chalgo.
| cannot urge you to diligence with any pro-
priety, as you are always dligent and des-
patch your business in one-third Of the time
generally consumed by the Grand Juries, in
other parts of the Circuit. fear, however,
that you will hereafter be called upon to do
more service. The late restriction in the sale
of intoxicating drinks, III the State of Della
ware, will cause the whole line between that
State and this. to be stretched with erog.
shops, which will produce assaults and bat
terics, riots and unlawful assemblies. Our
border citizens will b. incomlnodcd and over
run, unless proper steps are taken by you to
prevent It, The power to grant licenses is
given to the Grand Jury Of our county, and
you should be careful not to grant licenses
to any suspicious or irresponsible person on
that line. In case of the setting mp of shops
to retail without license. the constablcs and
the justices of the peace should take the mat
ter in hard. and for every sale without
license, the offending party should be recog.
nizcd to appear to the next Court to answer
the charge. The fine for this offence is fifty
dollars, and the enforcement of the law, in a
few cases, would prevent the breach of the
law. Besides. if the citizens of Delaware
come over to our State to riot and fight, they
should also be bound over with security to
appear at Court to answer for the offence, and
if bail be not given they should be commi It'd
to Jail. If this be not done, they may per-
petrate what outragcs they please, and when
presented may step across the line and bid
defiance to your authority. A firm stand
taken by the officers of justice in this State,
at the commencement, will put a stop to
many outrages, which will otherwise DC COM
mitted. Keep people sober and there will
be few violations of the peace, and there will
be seldom murders, manslaughters, assaults
and batteries. etc. attribute to the caution
of the Grand Jury, in your county, in grant
ing licenses. the little criminal business which
you are called on to notice. In other coun-
ties the clerks are obliged to grant license to
every one who asks them, and hence the
business falls often into the hands Of irres-
ponsible and improper persons. Any viola
ton of the license laws should be presented
by you, and you should refuse to license any
one in whom you want confidence.
