Ere dericd.-Frederica Is quite q place, 1t
has at this time some ten stores several me-
chanical branches are In very good and sue
cessful operation. There was a schooner launch
ed there the day previous to our arrival
This vessel had been rebuilt and heightened
by adding some twenty feet to her. The town
is located on Murderkill creek, which teok its
name 1t is said from an old Indian Chief who
had command Of tribe of Indians, who il is
said, used to hunt on the ground where the
town of Frederick now stands. We were told
that near this town (Frederica) there used to
be and probably there is still, u mound of dirt
where hundreds of teeth have been washed out
frequently by Iains. About mile from this
place is the time and Heaven honored place,
Barratt's Chapel. This is, we believe, the place
where DR.. Cook and Bishop Asbury, first met,
embraced and kissed each other; since that the
house has been moderniZed, but still retains
part of the old seat in the Pulpit, and it was
our good privilege to be permitted to set on
the same seat.
The site which this old church is built upon
is beautiful one. 1t is thought by many with
whom we talked, that this old Chapel will soon
have to go down, as the members in Frederick
have built quite stylish church in town and
taken away the morning preaching on Sun
day, and the people in the country do not care
to go to church in the afternoon. The church
in Frederick is quite fine building, having
pressed brick front with a steeple, and q bell
weighing about 318 pounds, this church has a
very fine basement Lecture Room, and is well
constructed OF good materials.-Jonrnai.
Horrible.-Coroner Richards held an inquest
on Monday last, over the bod y of little girl,
aged between three and four years, and nam
cd Susan Curran, daughter of Edward Curran,
who resides in Eighth Street near Church,
The jury after investigating the facts, returned
verdict that the child came to her death from
an oyerdraught of whiskey ION a bottle which
had been placed in tho shed adjoining the
dwelling, by the hands of its mother. This is
sad lesson to parents who are in the habit of
Keeping liquor in exposed places, even in cup
boards, accessible to children, which should
have its effects. An innocent and confding
child slain by rum, beverage which many
parents indulge in and others sell in violation
OF the Statute, is matter not to be lightly
passed over. Those who love their offspring
should con the lesson well, and profit by it,

renee have greatly enlarged their manufacture
ing establishment on the Brandywine, within the
past five or six years, and appear to be doing
a very fiourishing business. They are now run
ming about $500 spindles, 201 looms, which
turn out about 500 yards OF cotton goo DIS per
day; and giving employment to over 300
hands. They are also making arrangements |
to put in a number more of spindles in u short |
time. Their manager MIR. John Woods, is very |
attentive to his duties, and well deserving the |
confidence reposed in him, there being few
more careful OF better calculated for so re- |
sponsible position.
n Carbohydrates one OF our citizens was
passing the corner of 4th and Arch Sts., Phila- |
delphia, few days ago, his sc toe" caught |
the dress of very fine, meek, looking lady, |
and was well nigh pitching him headlong into
the curb, and at the expense OF near a breadth |
from the ladies skirts. The scene was lHdicrous |
in the extreme, and not II little Notifying to
both parties; tho gentleman apologsed, and |
offered to redress all damages, but twas plea
sanity and politely declined, as the matter |
seemed to be purely accidental. Gentlemen,
look out, for the ladies (and the HOOPS are not |
far oil, y as you turn the corners.
Resumed Opsraiion.--Mc Arbuckle and
Hughes have taken til e factory above the new
bridge, on the Brandywine, formerly occupied |
by Mr.. Brock, and are now making arrange
ments to put in sixty new looms, making with |
those now running 100. They have also three
sets of mules engaged in making wooden yarn.
When in full operation tho number of hands
will be greatly increased. Mr.. Peter Taylor is
employed as manager, and from long expert
ence in the business is well qualified for the
post.
Nathaniel d. Grodfrey, formerly OF this city,
is carrying on the watch making and jewelry |

stock of gold chains, iewery, &c, which he
