I'M, with lis singular energy, the scheme of u

spirit, to support him, would have completed
such road long since. Two routes surveyed
last autumn by lrof. Il. ID. Porter, of Newark,

Junction one five miles and the other five and-a-
qRiter miles. few days since Mr. Money,with
ihTeu other gentlemen of Delaware City, survey
ulA line following the river to Red Lion Creek,
thrn 10 Bear Station and made the distance four
and a-quarter miles, TIL. cost OF this road, in
consideration of the commercial advantages to
Dllawie City, would be Insignificant. How
uiciona therefore the hesitancy and Indifference
d the moncyed men of that section to such an
Important enterprise?

s,rr large concourse of mourning friends.
He was siXly-iline years of age. Within nine
months previously to his death, he had buried ii
daughter and u SON. This bereavement therefore
lilIs with peculiar weight on the mourning
widow, and two children.

Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1868-03-12

We noticed in December last, that small boy,
named John Harrop, whose parents reside up the
Brandywine, had suddenly disappeared.
His mother had come in iowa to market and
left him at home. Some neighbors passing the
house, sometime after, had seen him near il,
playing with large dog. After that he had not
been seen, and his family have been from that
time to this in terrible anxiety as to his where
abouts. His father has made active search for
his boy, going as far as seven hundred miles
Westward to see q boy who appeared to answer
the description Of the missing child. He was un-
successful, however, and returned home, fea. ing
the boy was dead, but still hoping, almost against
hope, that he might yet be found alive.
The little fellow at the time of his disappear
ance was about three years old.
Yesterday, as man named Patrick Cronan
and boy named Edward Bawn were going up
the Brandywine, the latter discovered II body
floating in the water. The two got 1t out and
sent word to Mr.. and Mrs. Harrop, who came
and recognized their long lost child in the swol-
len and mutillated remains before them.
Deputy Coroner Curry held on inquest on the
remains, and the jury rendered a verdict of acct
dental drowning.
