men at the Little Election, by deceiying them in
Democratic tickets. bold effort

see that work is resumed on this extension and
that force is now employed in grading for the
necessary crossing Of the p. W. ~ b. r. r., near
the southerly boundary of the city. The bed of
the extension thence to the Christiana was graded
some time ago and is ready for ties and track.
The wharf, too, which is fine large one and
Very well built, is completed all but filling in so
that as soon as the company once gets its tracks
across the p W. 4 d. II. r.. il can complete then

terminus at the mouth of the Christiana.
