Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1866-03-22

MR. EprroR:--Tbe late veto of the Freed
mems Bureau Bill by the President has acted
upon the copperhesds Ike the warm sun of
April; 1t has warmed them into lite, and in
moving a-ouud yon now aud then hear one
hiss, but that 10 all they can do. That great
experimenting Power which has so signaly |
displayed i,sell during the struggle Tor the life
OF the nation, and the freedom of the bonds |
men, ID sull watching over the affairs of men
aud will not let the great victory achieved
under Bis guidance be turned 10 noughi. -
Therefore have no fear of the haal result.
The first Congregational Church, or Society," |
Of Delaware, organized at Canterbury some
eighteen mouths ago, has got into trouble
The mistake was in the material used in ma.
king Deacons. One proved SO very q scrub
that he left tor the benefit OF Kent County,
and the other, from present appearances,
would do we'll to follow his example. The
society located the site of the building on
a beautiful lot in the rear OF the Canterbury
depot, and all seemed right till the Deacon
proved contumaoious. The certificate OF the
| Trustees, intrusted to his care fer record, in
order 70 incorporate the society, he failed 10
| get recorded, and then set to work In any other
than Christian spiritto break up the society
at Canterbury, and start one at Plymouth, on
bis own hook. Now your readers will wonder
| where Plymouth is. Well, Plymt uth, without
station and FELTON,, and as Paddy would say
avid niver a road till it," But you know
| Yankees are money making people, and buy
| ing old fields at. twenty dollars and selling
them At City per acre without putting anything
| on Is tempting, and why may not more money
be made 10 speculatiug in town lots2 You
remember 10 1885, towns were built on paper
all through the West and why may not paper
| towns be built in Delawaref
| Wall. as old Aunt Mollv used In aav we
shall see, what we shall see, but | do not be-
lieve that old Mrs. Partington with double
pair Of eye glasses will ever see town at Ply
mouth in Delaware, even by Il knight OF the
| goose and shears. 1t is too poor to grow cab
bage.
We have had u few days of genial weather
which has brought out the good housewives
| To make their gardens and dress up their
| flowers; while our farmers are busy seeding
| down their oats and grass.
1t probably too soou to speculate much on
| the peach crop, but up to this writing it bijs
l fair.
We had meeting OF the Good Tsmplai
Lodge No. 70, at Canterbury last evening, ant
initiated come twelve or fifteen me libers aud
the cry Is "still they come We are to have
your townsman, Mr.. Thomas Roberts, deliver
| his celebrated Burns lecture Tor the benefit o.
our Lodge on Wednesday evening, the 2stt
inst, in the N. E Cnurch at Canterbury, whes
we expect rich treat from Mr.. Roberts whi''
delineaLing the character and poetry of one o
the greatest natural poots who ever sung hi
native lays.
Toe admission to the lecture is twenty q VI
cents by ticket, or paid at the door.
II anything special happens IN old Kent
Will duly spprise you, but
o "How the subject theme may gang,
Let time and c"auce de termile;
Perhaps 1t may turn out sang
n, Perhaps turn out a sermon"
