THEY STOLE HIS GEESE AWAY. Captain
George d. Parker, of Ferry Point, had a
dozen or so Of good fat geese, which he set
great store by, and on Wednesday night
last some one paid his promises visit and
testified their appreciation of the merits OF
the geese and the good taste ofthe Captsin,
by stealing every one of them. On the next
day, however, the Captain was slightly
Modified for a short period, by one of the
geese coming home again. The Captain,
no doubt, began to congratulate himself on
his return, and although one goose was
but small stock in trade to set up goos-
cry, still one goose was better than no goose
at all. Even this however was not allowed
him long, for before the going down Of the
sun on that day some thief walked in and
walked his goose of. The Captain, we
learn, suspects the latter theft was CONS
mitted by one of the nations wards And,
by the by, speaking of wards, reminds Us
of a rather queer saying in regard to the
geese of an individual named Ward. His
geese flew away, probably very much as
the Captains has done. Ward wa, pro /.
fame man, and when asked by one of his
neghbors where had his geese flown to, he
answered 'hellwards.' Hence the saying
that Wards geese few hellwards.'
We suspect, however, that the Captain s
geese have not got very far on their jour
ney; and if he institutes speedy and rigid
investigation he may be able to come up
with them before they get to pot.

THE SPRINa-CoUNoIL PROCEEDINGS.
AT its meeting on Tuesday evening
the Council adopted the following:
"WHEREAs, A number of the citi-
zens and tax payers of the incorpora-
ted village of Delaware request an ap-
preparation Of 1000 by the Council for
the Improvement Of the sulphur
Spring on the College grounds, there

ResoLUed, That the Council agree that
one thousand dollars be appropriated
for such Improvement, provided that
$500 be secured for the same purpose
from private subscription, andthat the
Mayor be authorized to borrow said
sum of 81 1000 at a rate of interest not
exceeding eight per cent, and that
Messrs. Sidney Moore, JAS. A. Barnes
and &. F. Bradley be appointed a COM
mittee to receive and eXpend said sum
of 81. 0 together with the $500 on sub
scription in making said improve
ment."
This action of the Council secures
the Improvement, and we believe viii

citizens.

TIE Mr.. yEREoNR AmwAY AGAIN
on Saturday last Mr.. JamesA. Barnes.
OF this place received a dispatch from
Philadelphia sent by Judge Hurd, Of
Mt. Vernon, in the words following:
"Can you pledge Delaware county for
S75.OoOto complete the railway from Mt.
Vernon to Delaware in the interests
of the Pennsylvania Central road con
Meeting with the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne q Chicago road at Millers-
burgh 2'' Mr.. Barnes replied by tele-
graph saying that while he had no au-
thority to pledge seventy-ive thous-
and dollars he had no doubt it could
be raised.
should such 2 proposition as that
embodied in Mr.. Hurd's dispatch be
definitely made to the people of our
county it would bring up the Mt. Yer
non railway project in a more tangi-
bic and practicable form than ever be-
fore. There is not a particle of doubt
that the amount Of subscriptions
named would be taken in the county,
and the moment the Pennsylvania
Company shall see fit to make us a
proposition Of the kind foreshadOwed
the completion of the road Will be
rendered morally certain.
By a glance at the map it viii be
seen that Delaware, Mt. Vernon and
M~iIlersburgh lie nearly on a straight
line, and that the completion of the
proposed road from here to the latter
point would give us a new and short
route to Pittsburgh and also a through
line from Delaware to Philadelphia,
all under the same management. In
short it would be equivalent to bring
ing the Fort Wayne and Chicago line
right to our doors, that road now
being under the control of the
Pennsylvania Central Company. The
same Company controls the Sandus-
ky Mansfield q Newark line which
would still give us che necessary
through connections, evenifthe branch
from MilIersburgh to Mt. Vernon were
not built.
The advantages to the Pennsylvania
Central of the new route to Delaware
and thence west to Springfield by con-
nection here with the Branch Railway,
are obvious. 1t would thereby tap a
portion of the State which now, to a
extent, seeks other outlets for
its eastern bound freights.
We hope hat if any action on the
part of our citizens is necessary to Sc
cure an arrangement upon the basis of
the terms t~elegraphed to Mr.. Barnes
such action will be promptly tax

MANUFACTURE OF AGRICULTURALIM-

doubt as to whether the movement to
increase the Manufacturing interests of
this city means business, hat person
should have attended the meeting at
Templar Hall on Monday evening last.
Not only was there present a large

was manifested on all hands, that
prompt and enthusiastic readiness to
take hold of and carry out the proposed
enterprise, which is the best encour-

Second, The business of working
farms by machinery is vet in its infan-
ey-the Held for the sale Of machinery
IS daily widening. the great west and

piled and Ohiois and is to be, the great
workshop for their supply. Why
should not Delaware keep pace with
other smaller and less faVorabIv situ-
{ t0wns-when insteadof buyiug Of
we may sell to them.
Third, Such an establishment, if well
conducted, would give employment to
a large number Of our citizens and
would call in from abroad a class of
skillful artiZans and manufacturers
and would be a nucleus for the build
ing up of other similar concerns.
Fourth. That the company should be
organized as a joint stock company the
stock to be divided into such shares
as to place at least one share within
the reach of every citizen-the capital
stock to be employed in the manufac-
ture of Reapers and Mowers and such
other machinery as may from time to
time be found profitable.
Fifth, We would recommend that
steps be Immediately taken to procure
a charter and to raise the stock which
should be at least SI50.OO 0 to be divided

Pending the adoption of this report
interesting speeches were made by
Messrs. J.. D. Van Deman, Jno. Neil
roy, J. C. Evans, J.H. Humphreys and
T. W. Powell. The voice was unani-
nous in favor Of the feasibility Of the
plan proposed in the report which was
without a dissenting voice adopted. A
committee was then appointed to carry
out the plan submitted and was in.
strueted to open the books for reeeiv--
ing subscriptions at once. This COM
mittee, which embraces that to which
the meeting wasindebted for the point

consists of the following gentlemen:
S. Moore, J. II. MendenhaII, J. G..
Evans, D. Miller, Chauneey Bradley,
J. D. Van Deman and DIR. A. BIymver.
The meeting then adjournedto assem-
bic again on Monday evening next,
when a report Of the subscriptions re-
eeived viii be made. We hope the
solicitations to take stock may meet
with a liberal response on the part Of
all classes Of citizens, for while all
are equally concerned in charging the
business interests of Delaware we
know of no investment which prom
ises a more renumerative return to the
stockholders than capital employ
ed in the manufacture of agricultural
machines and implements. Our faeiIi-
ties for carrying on this business are
of the best and the demand, both at
home and abroad. for the products of
this branch of manufacturing skill is
C instantly on the increase.
