ers. Seven presented themselves, and all
were engaged with one exception. The poor
man thus omitted said:
Master, won't you hire me:"
NO." said the farmer.
"Why not p"
because you are too little"
Too little exclaimed the astonished
freshman 'does your Honor reap your grain
at the top?"
What could farmer C. do but roar with
laughter, and send the little man to join his
comrades in the field !

OBITUARY.
John A. Duncan.

1t is with sincere regret, which will be widely
felt throughout business and social circles in this
city, that VIC announce the death of John A.
Duncan, in the 9th year of his age, at his resi-
dencc in this city, last Wednesday evening.
Deceased was for many years one of our most
prominent business men, and though, OF late
years, he has not been actually engaged in busi-
ness, he was connected with many public and
business institutions.
Somewhere about the year 1928, Mr.. Duncan
came to this city from Hartford county, Maryland,
and subsequently went into the hardware busi-
ness with Newln & Woolston, in the store now
occupied by his nephews, Capelle II Bro. In
course OF time he bought his partners interest
and became proprietor, and remained in the bus
ness until few years ago, when he was sdc-
ceeded by Capelle & Duncan and subsequently
on the retirement OF Capt. Duncan,by the present
firm.
BY his energy and careful business habits he
amassed quite fortune, and entered largely into
public improvements. At the time of his death,
he was Director of the Philadelphia Whining
ton and Baltimore r. Il. Co., President of the
National Bank of Wilmington and Brandyyy Inc,
a director and Treasurer Of the Wilmington Coal
Gas Co., one of the managers OF the Wilmington
Savings Fund, director Of the New Castle
County Mutual Insurance Co., and was similarly
connected with number of others of our oldest
ard most substantial institutions.
lie served as the Representative of this city in
the Legislature for two terms, and was several
times elected a member OF the City Council by
the Wings in the old days and by the Republicans
OF late years.
Though not an active member of any religious
society he was attached by birth and lineage TO
the society Of Friends. He was man of large
but unostentatious liberality and unquestoned
probity and acquired SO great reputation for
making just and clear decisions in cases of arb-
tration. that he was very frequently called on to
assist: In this peaceful manner, in settling long
standing disputes.
During the war, and always he was man of
irreproachable loyalty, and in the darkest hours
of the Rebellion, his steady, serene, and almost
cheerful faith in the ultimate triumph of right
and justice, gave encouragement to many who
We're disposed to doubt, who still remember with
gratitude the comfort his unshaken faith afforded
them.

Horatio Seymour has at last accepted the
Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
OF course it was unsought and unexpected,
but he now finds himself unable to resist its
acceptance. He explains that his delay in
formally accepting the nomination by letter
was caused by his waiting to see what Con-
gress would do before adjourning. AS was
to be expected, nothing has been transacted
by that body in accordance with his wishes
or those of his political friends and he then
arrsigns Congress after the manner of Blair,
Hampton, Forrest and other representatives
of the Democracy. He cordially approves
of the platform adopted by the New York
Convention, and pledges himself to carry
out its doctrines in public and private life,
and then continues his arraignment of the
Republican party, and denuncation of its
plan of reconstruction.
Wilkes Spirit says it hasn't heard from
the Philadelphia Mercury on 'sput up or
shut up" 1t evidently concludes to do the
latter. Wilkes adds: AS to the State of
New York, the betting may be quoted even.
The last transactions we have heard of were
that Seymour would carry the State by
twenty thousand, au contraire. This, how
ever, was ten daysago, since which time we
have heard of no more bets upon the State.
On Grant, however, bets of two to one are
being constantly offered, with no takers.
This accurately gauges the pretcnped conf
dence of Seymour and his friends.

RoBIERY.-on Friday night week some thieves
entered the smoke house and spring house on the
farm just this side of Christiana Village, owned
by MIR. Z. G. Stotsenberg, of this city. They car
ried OIL all the meat iu the smoke house 80 hams,
shoulder, and some other pieces, and all the
butter in the spring house except several pounds
they accidentally spoiled entering at the window.
The family of the tenant had been at the spriug-
house at 10 o'clock the evening before and dis
covered the theft on entering the house at 0
O'Clock the next morning, so the robbery must
have been committed between those hours The
thieves, (therc must have been more than One)
very skillfully broke the locks with an instru-
mcnt prepared for the purpose, and are supposed
TO be professional characters. The buildings
broke Into are but hundred yards from The
Christiana, and it ssupposed that the thieves car
ried of the stolen property in a boat.

ISTEMpERANCE AMONG WoMEN.-We regret
to say that intemperance among females is be-

this vice is becoming more frequent every day.
On Wednesday last two women were taken to the

few hours afterwards we saw four young girls
each escorted by young man, SO much intoxi-
The latter party were evidently Phiadelphians
and were on their way to the depot when we saw
them. Some more effective measures should be
taken than have yet been employed to save our
