BOYS ELEcrIoN.-Tne boys of this baili-
wick are preparing to hold an election for the
purpose OF testing their strength, anC have, we
believe, made out their respective tickets, from
Governor down to Levy Court commissioners
full in every department. The election, we
understand, takes place Saturday week, and, as
a matter of course, they are busIy marshaling
their forces. 1t is question with some whe
ther such youthful dabbling in politics is of any
advantage. 1t is an old adage that the boy is
often father to the man" and if applicable in
any instance, it is in this, for the bias Of the boy
grows into the firm conviction of the man.

ATTEMPT TO SMASH THE CARS ON THE della.
WARE RAILROAD.-Another attempt was made
on Tuesday evening last, to throw the cars from
the track, as they were proceeding on their
downward course, short distance below Town
send, by placing on the track railroad.tie.-
The attempt, however, proved abortive, as the
timber was pushed along ahead ofthe train un-
til 1t could be stopped and the obstruction re-
moved. The wretch who would thus, for the
sake of gratifying some personal prejudice or
dislike to the railroad company, (for such wa~
doubtless the motive,) perpetrate so wholesale
slaughter as the throwing of cars from
the track when going at rapid speed, would
inevitably produce, deserves the scyercst penal
ty which the law can nAict. If we mistake
not, several attempts have been made in this
locality to wreck the cars, and the people Of
the neighborhood owe it to their honor and
good name, in view Of the reputation Of the
pace and themselves. to use every exertion in
terre'ing out and bringing these heartless ndi-
vlIuals to justice and trial of the hempen core.
