For the Delaware Gazette
The Morals Of Delaware.

Do the citizens of Delaware know,
that as community they have high
Reputation abroad for social refinement
and purity of morals This reputa-
ton has filed your institutions of
learning with students. These insti-
tutiOns have built up one-half the city,
and are the magnets which have at
tracted a host of your respectable cit
izens and-esta blished them amoDgy you.
The success and growth of these insti-
tutiOns depend to a great extent upon
the moral and religious reputation of
the community in which they are loca-
ted Does Delaware deserve the high
moral reputation it has abroad, and IF
this reputation has been fairly won is
it being honestly maintained /? The
interests of your correspondent being
identified with the interests of Della
ware, he is not diSnlsaa-se-riJ51 "
,.suriizrezzfn tine negative of the foregoing
question, and he has therefore never
counted the filthy doggeries that defile
the city, and mark the young man s
broad road to ruin. They are, hoWev-
er, numerous, and 50 strong that they
may be smelled as faS as the putrid
carcass of a dead skunk
Is the community of Delaware a
Sabbath observing community? / do
not mean to intimate that a majority of
its citizens are rTespecters of the
Sabbath day-are net sdecent. But i
do mean to charge that the moral sen
timent of the community lies inert, or
that it is not sufficiently strong to en-
force a respectful observance of the
Sabbath or obedience to those rules of
decency and decorum which must be
sustained in every civilized communi-
ty, and which, are required by the salu-
tary provisions of cur State. These
remarks may warm up the blood of
some veteran of Delaware morals, but
alet him keep cool and not demOlish
your humble correspondent until he
makes few Excursions down the river
south of the covered bridge, and he
will7sse the river lined with boys and
young men bathing ia a state of nudity
and recklessly exposing their persons
beside the highway, while ladies,
young and old, married and single, are
continually passiBg1 Let our vener-
able friend return to the scene on the
Sabbath day and he will see the same
sad state of affairs In worse form !;
and while he remembers that all the
church going ladies and Sabbath
School girls living in south east
direction are compelled almost every
Sabbathsat this season of the year to
pass TO their places Of worship, and to
their Sabbath Schools in full view of
a host of nude boys and young men !;
then let him say If he car that this is
no outrage upon our fair escutcieon-
no blot upon our civilization. Your
correspondent has been frequently ap-
pealed to By modest young ladies to
do something for decsnoies sake 30
abate this intolerable nuisance. He
has appealed to the powers that be
but in vain. Fellow citizens, can no
longer be silent spectator 20 these

DEATH OF ALLEN T. THoMPsoN.-
Rev. Allen TrimbIe Thompson, of
Hillsborough, o., diedon Friday last
at Binghampton, n. Y, whittier he had
repaired for medical treatment. He
was the son of Judge Thompson of
Highland county, and grandson of ex-
Governor Allen TrimbIe. His fatal NAL
ady was typhoid pneumonia he was
a young man Of brilliant parts and at
the time Of his aainistry one OF the
most eloquent divines in the M. z.
Church. But an unfortunate appetite
for strong drink paralyzed his great
powers and compelled him to abandon
his sacred Office. BY sheer force of
resolution he overcame the temptation
to indulgence and at the time of his
death was under treatment for the. res
toration of his shattered constitution.
Mr.. Thompson for some time attended
school here where he was quite well
known. His life is a lesson and
warming a

HABTTUAL c0srlvENEss OR CONSTIPATION

HABITUAL COsTlvENEss OR CONSTIPATION.
From this afiiction arises many of the all
iI.Es of mankind. In our everyday walks
OF Lie we hear people complain of Nervous
sshd Sick Headache, Biliousness, Inactivity
of the Liver, Piles, Iistlessness, Debility,
Loss of Appetite, Collie Pains, Want of
Sleep at night, and Drowsiness through the
day. Generally the cause Of all the train Of
difficulties can be traced to Costiveness or
CONSTIPATION of the BOTrg1ss and remedy
for this complaint is what is required but
among the multiplicity of cathartic reme-
dies how shall they choose? We all know
that most eathartics, after thorough action
on the bowels, leave them in perhaps
worse constipated state than before the REM
edy was taken. This, however, is not the
case with Robael's Blood Pills. They act
mildly, yet most efeetually on the Liver,
causing that organ to throw of the accuau-
lated morbid matter, leaving the stomach
and bowels in a perfectly healthy and natu-
raj state and not constipated.
Those ah1icted in this way would do well,
after the treatment above indicated, to have
Roback's Stomach Bitters where they could
take dose after each meal they would aid
digestion and strengthen the stomach N

VINDIcATION OF DIR. HIIIs,-Souae time
since q paragraph was Published In certain
papers rejecting on the official conduct OF
DR.. R. Hills as Superintendent of the Hos
pita1 for the Insane for the State of West
| Virginia. The charges upon which this
paragraph was based were originally made
by one p. NJ. Hale and were brought to the
notice Of the Legislature of West Virginia
by which a committee was appointed which
commenced an investigation on the 9th OF
May last, The committee gave the widest
scope to the testimony, often admitting that
which was frivolous and irrelevant to grati-
fy parties active in sustaining the charges.
The result has been the complete exculpa-
ton Of ,Dr. HiIls, The report of the inyes
tigation, signed by all the committee, In
Guiding Republicans and Democrats says:
+ After a fun, fair, and impartial investiga-
ton, in which the charges of fraud, rumOrs
Of misconduct and all the matters suggest
ed in the 1nterrOgafoF1eS," !" Hale pamphlet"
and newspapers aforesaid. we're considered,
the COMMITTEES came to the unanimous coz
clus1On that they were all In substance
the Board of Directors were all capable and
honest men, who discharged their duties
faithfully fully, and impartially; that,
under the circumstances they had managed
the affairs Of the Asylum in the best
manner possibles They also are unanimous
in opinion from the evidence, that all the
conduct published against the Medical Su-
peF1ntenden6y DR.. R. HIS, are without
foundation that he is peculiarly well fit-
ted for his position and that the State is
fortunate in being able to secure his valu-
able services. He is the right man in the
right place. +" > 5fttrf

redeemed and trained in different
way, they viii grow up TO corrupt your

abroad. Will not the moral strength
of Delaware awake and see that de-
cency and morals, law and order are
respected. IF this is not done, the
friends abroad who send their sons
and daughters TO our colleges to be

able reinforcement ana other Improve
ments lately made we natter ourselves
y that our printing Office is not exeeIled
ifequaled by any country printing es-
Enlistment in the State.
We have also gnst added to our equip

prints the name and address of each

that it fully meets our expectations,
Our friends and patrons viii under

ments not merely with a view to our
own profit. Whatever economies toll
and more especially whatever converts
mere drudgery into skilled labor con-
tributes to the benefit of the entire COM
munity. And of journalism which ex-
erts so constant and 50 powerful an in
fiuence upon society this may be most
truly said. Whatever improves it

standard it may now reach and the
grand profession It is destined to be

and faith in our endeavors to do the
best we can for those we serve. We be-

patriotism, high social re-
