An OuTRAaE-A MAN BADLY BEATEs.-Yes-
terday, out along the Brandywine, party OF
bricklayers met carpenter and beat him badly.
all the parties were somewhat under the influence
OF liquor, and the alteration, or rather the as
sault was commenced by one of the brick-layers
who roughly accused the carpenter of putting up
seaffold with the intention of giving him (the
brlcklayer) fall.
The whole party then fell upon the carpenter
and beat him terribly, injuring him internally in
such manner as to cause him to yomit blood.
We have as yet been unable to learn the names of
any Of the parties or further particulars, but we
believe no arrests have been made.-F,iday's

Our HARDoR..-On the occasion of o trip We
recently mnde on The steamer Eliza Hdgcor, We
were more than ever struck with the immense
natural advantages of our port, and felt that 1
bright future was yet in store fol our city could
our citizens be awakened TO aproper appreciation

business energy and enterprise commensurate
with those advantages q GE
The winding sinuous course Of the Christians
which was in times past considered disadvan-
tage to city, and to avoid which 1t was at one
time proposed to cut wide canal directly to tie
river, will, when the city expands to Its proper
dimensions, be considered one of Ats greatest
natural advantages. It presents opportunity for
the building Of line Of wharyes in what will
some day be the very heart of the business por-
ton of the city such as will, with the wharyes
which must some day be built on the Delaware,
give it opportunities for the easy shipment of
merchandise such as are presented to but few
cities in thelworld. eittBG AMI
When the Reading Railroad Is built and in sue
cessful operation the value of the Christana, and
even the lower part of the Brandywine will begin
to be more fully appreciated.
We do not suppose for an instant that on these
rivers will be the points from which boats de-
signed merely for travel will startthe piers which
will be built on the Delaware will be used for this
purpose, but 1t Is In these rivers that fleets of
merchant vessels will lie to receive and discharge
their freights in safe and convenient harbor and
one which can readily be kept open with clear
passage to the sea at all seasons of the seyerest
winter.
Besides this the time must surely come when
the Christiana and Elk rivers will be Joined to-
gether bya canal; and then again the advan-
tages of the Christiana to our city will be seen.
The prohibition which now prevents this, lasts
but few years longer, and by the time il ex-
pires the importanoeof the city viii Justify the
carrying out of the project.
We call attention to these matters now, not
because they arc at all new, but simply because
they have been again suggested to us by our re-
cent examination Of the harbor, and because
since their spasmodic awakening last winter our
people seem to have once more gone TO sleep in
this matter Of improvement of our harbor and
