state Of Southern society:

it IN this State. Unless this is
changed we cannot bring one-iourth

fear of the social effect on themselves

The EASTERN SHORE r. R.-No new ARRANGE
ment has as yet been made between the T. W. d
B. Road and the Eastern Shore Road, in regard
to the running Of the latter by the former. Our
readers probably know that the p. w. Il b. X.
X. Co. have been operating the entire Peninsular
line but the time for which the contract was
made having expired, the Eastern Shore Railroad
Company, who OWL all of the road below the
Delaware line were unwilling to renew 1t on the
terms of the old contract, and no new permanent
arrangement has MS yet been made; the T. w. q
b. Road still operating the road, however, under
q temporary arrangement.
The P. W. 81 b. R. r. have made proposals for
q new contract with the road, which will be de-
cided on by the Directors of the Eastern Shore
Road to-day.
IL is supremacy ridiculous that the Penlnsular
road should belong to so many corporations, and
it is great pity that they do not consolidate and
apply to the Legislatures Of the two States for a
charter for the company MS a whole. At present
the road runs from here to Noodles station over
the p. w. a. b. II. r. From Noodles to New
Castle 1t is the New Castle & Wilmington r. r.
from New Castle to what is known as Delawar,
Junction, 1t is the New Castle and Frenchtowi
Road from Delaware Junction to Delmar on thu
Delaware and Maryland line, it is the Delaware
Road, and from Dclmar to Crisfeld ii is w
believe the Eastern Shore Road, and each one
these sections, of what is practically ali one road
belongs to a different corporation.
An arrangement so numbering, inconvenien
and absurd would only be possible in place 81
absurdly divided in defiance OF natural law as
this Peninsula.

ACTION OF THE LEVY COURT.


The Levy Court Commissioners met at New
Castle Thursday, to take action concerning the
proposed bridges over the Brandywinc and Chris
tiana.
1t had been the intention of the commissioners
to have received subscriptions sufficient to build
such bridges as are required bv the act and to
add enough money to that obtained to build such
bridges MS ought to be built there.
Upon consultation with their Attorney, Mr..
Spruance, however, they asccrtained that they
are prevented by the act from contributing any
thing whatever to the building of the bridges.
Upon their arriving at this conclusion there
wa. disposition manifested to take no action
whatever in the matter but they finally concluded
we believe, to meet again at an carly day to con-
slider the matter further and now seem inclined
to let those interested 90 ahead and build such
bridges as the law may require, that is just about
| such as the bridge already across the Christian
at the foot of Market st.
| At tbs meeting yesterday the commissioner;
appropriated s. 900 towards the bridge which it il
proposed to build across the Christiana between
Stanton and Newport
| The parties interested in the Eleventh ST., brdg
have been very active, and have already procurct
subscriptions fer over $4,000 towards il, and, "
hear, have an estimate for Its cost, in which
contractor agrees to build it for $4,000 II Til
is the case tho bridge will soon be built, and tn
sooner the better.
Sufficient money is already subscribed to built
such n bridge At or near Third street. as is requi
red by the law, but we hope the subscriptions wi
be sufficiently increased to build such bridge Il
it was proposed by the Levy Court to build, la
the law permitted them.

The Price of Farm Labor-as given in
the Monthly Report of the Agricultural
Department is: In the Eastern States 1880
per month in the Middle States, $30.07 per
month; in the Western States, S2s.9l in
the Southern States, $1,000; in Oregon,
$35.75; in California, $45.7l. In Mass
achusetts the price is 1898 per month,
which is higher than any other State except
California This is attributed to the great
variety of industry in the state, only about
one-fourth Of the people being employed in
agriculture. This makes a very lively de-
mand for all farm products. The greater
variety of occupations in State the better
for laborers. There has been an advance
in the price of labor of about seventy per
cent. in the last forty years, notwithstand-
ing an immigration OF 100000 of people.
The greatest want Of the country is labor to
develope our resources.
