about two weeks ago, by the freight train
The company, to the shame of those in author
lily be 1t said, have neglected to put up the
ience through the farm of Mr.. O., and his
horses escaping from the enclosure where u.s.
ually kept, got into tile field bordering on the
road, passed up the track and IL being dark were
unperceived by those in charge OF the train
The neglect to fence the road is highly CEN
surable If not criminal, involving not only the
loss OF property, but endangerng the lives Of
passengers. Of course the compang will have
to make good the loss.

DrunkeRneSs.-This vice seems to be greatly |
on the increase IN tho county, as well as in the |
city. In passing along the road near New |
Castle, few days ago, we found young man, |
laying beside the way, stupid, and entirely |
senseless and helpless, from the use of rum |
On Monday We found man laying directly in |
the middle OF the road, about three. fourths of |
mile from the village Of st. Georges, expos
ed to the burning rays Of the sun, with flask |
of rum by his side. We supposed at first that |
We had discovered a job Tor the Coroner, but |
the fellow was only drunk, and we accordingly |
removed him to the side of the road, placed |
his cap under his head, and arranged his coat |
so as to protect his face from the sun. On ar |
irving at st. Georges we found tho Ostler sit |
ting ON the porch of the hotel, almost il not |
from which he could not be aroused. He pro-
cured his rum from a lowgroggery in the place
where white and black are indscriminately |
accommodated. In the morning he was in n |
crazed state, and threw his watch worth some
$50, and his pocket-book into the canal Some
persons made an effort to ecure them but failed
to do so.
n Disturbances The quarterly meeting of the
colored people took place at Delaware City last
Sunday, when the Steamboats, John Griffith
and Zephyr made excursions from this city,
and took down large number of persons, of
both cOlors. About one O'Clock number of
white boys from this city, calling themselves
Bleeders, went round to the wagons and stole
jug of whiSkey which they took over the
canal and drank Of freely. Some Of the color
cd people from the country resented this con-
duct, and attacked the boys, when some OF the
blacks OF this city came to their assistance, and
bricks and stones were thrown pretty freely,
doing some slight injury. As the Zephyr was
about leaving the wharf a shower of stones was
cast after her, when some persons were hurt,
and two or three females tainted. Fortunately
she was soon beyond reach of the missiles, and
thns further difficulty was prevented.
NarrOiO Escape.-As DIR. Baynard was pass
ing along the Street in Newark, on Tuesday
evening week, n telegraph pole was blown down
Immediately in his rear aud at the same time
the limb Of treo fell close before him. Had
he been few feet either way he could not have
escaped receiving severe blow The tele-
graph pole was allowed to remain on the street
through the night, and in the morning as VIM.
Campbell was coming to Market to our city, |
the top of his dearborn, coming in contact with
the wire, was torn entirely oil. The wire also
struck him on the head making slight wound,
and had it been few inches lower the conse-
quences might have been very serions. The
next time a pole falls it should be removed as
