IMpRoyEMENrs-THE NEW DANK--sCHooLs, ETC
M1DDLErowN, December 2O.-The large brick
store that has been put up by Robert Cochran
is nearly completed, and Reynolds 4 Sons, who
have rented it, intend to take possession this
week. These gentlemen have for several wears
occupied the building adjoining the new one, and
their present stand is to be occupied by new
conner named also Reynolds. The new building
is three-stories high and presents a fine appear
ance: On the same street. adjoining it on the
south, is the new bank. The work on the bank
is progressing rapidly. The brick work is COM
pleted and the zinc roof put oil. Part of the
roof, however, is 10 be covered with stating. But
little has yet been done to the inside, and it will
probably not be ready for occupancy before
March or April.
The school at the Academy closed its first
term of the school year on the End instant, after
the usual examinatic A., which continued three
days. On Friday last 1t closed for a vacation of
two weeks which continues until after New
Years. Most of the schools here are accustomed
to spend Christmas week in rest and recreation,
as a general holiday. There are three schools
IN town numbering in attendance about $780,
Ladue still has charge of the free school which,
on account of the number in attendance. ought
to have more than one teacher. Miss Walker is
CARRYING on a select school opposite the Academy
which is well attended The Academy was never
in more hourishing condition.
improvements still go on, around the depot,
the low places are being filled up with dirt and
around the new depot some more ornamental
work is to be done, such as fancying and making
a flower garden.
Prof: Heginbotham gave a concert in the Hall
on Friday evening of last week, with his singing
class. The attendance was not very large.
Something Of a more comica nature would have
drawn larger house. The Prof. is an old
teacher Of sacl ed music, and for that kind of an
entertainment The concert was success, and
was well received. We think it would be better
il those who attend these entertainments in the
Hall, only to disturb others, wond stay away.
On this and some former occasion there has been
some disturbance from this class.
The stores have laid in fine assortment of
Christmas presents, and trade in that kind of
goods is brisk. The Episcopalians are to give a
grand supper in their chapel during the coming
week, for the benefit OF their church, which will
continue three evenings. They contemplate
erecting a new church in town. The present one
is about mile out. and bad weather necessa-
lily affects the attendance considerably, and
besides the present one is very old and new
one is greatly needed. OBSERVER.

AN INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC NEWS
PAPER AT DOVER.

81 |"
The Independent Democracy of Kent County,
though beaten by the saulsburys, in November,
arc not destroyed. They appreciate the true
situation of affairs, and see that not only are
they bound to go straight on in their opposition
to Ring Rnle, in order to Justify themselves and
assert their own manhood but that the cause for
which they labor is Just valuable since the Sth
of November, as it was before that time.
For the purpose of making their opposition
effective, and throwing light on the dark places
in the State management, newspaper is about
to be established at Dover, by the Independent
leaders. This is most appropriate and saga
cels step. 1t will supply, if vigorously con-
duuted, precisely what this movement needs.
The people want fuller information as to its
origin, its object, and the points on which it has
taken issue with the Saulsburrys, as well as a
thorough and persistent dissection Of the gaping
joints in the Salisbury control of the State.
The new paper, printed at Dover by active and
energetic Democrats, enlightened by men who
have thebest opportunities for acquiring accurate
information, will have most admirable chance
to do great work. We hope to see itimprove its
opportunity. The people want light they want
facts they want facts from official sources al
Dover.
During the coming winter an important session
of the Legislature is to be held. The present
tax system will be oyerhauled, and new taxes
levied. A United States Senator, to serve fol
six years, is to be chosen. Efforts will be made
by special legislation wholly of a partisan char
acter, to bind the city of Wilmington at the feet
of the Ring These and other matters will
occupy the session. A Democratic paper at
Dover, thoroughly Independent in its character
will do great good in keeping careful and
yigilant watch upon them. Let its conductors
tell the TRUTH tell it simply, fearlessly, and
promptly; give the people plain statements ami
not mere innuendo let them cry aloud and spare
not, and the people will honor and stand b,
them. A Free Press, wlliat tells The Truth, cat

Wilmington Correspondence Philada. Bulletin. ]
Since the building of iron ships has become
topic OF general discussion, have several times
seen il stated that the shipyards of this city,
though admirable for building river steamboats,,
Nc, are not capable of turning ont ocean steam
ers / wish to nail that falsehood now and here.
The steamer Wyanoke, sent away from the Har-
Ian " Hollingswoith Company's works some
months ago, is in every respect a sea-worthy
ship as large and staunch as the most of those
now plying between New York and Liverpool /;
and as large an iron vessel can be built and sent
away from here as there is now afoat, xcept
the Great Eastern, and probably one or two
others. Let us have the truth in this matter,
and not let local jealousies obscure the impor-
tant fact that here, in Wilmington, there are
shipyards capable of turning out as fine iron
vessels as are built anywhere in the world and
which have built more than all the other ship
yards in America put together. There is ITO
question whatever az to whether such vessels
can be built in this country Though the free
trade Journals ignore this) the only question is,
can we build them cheap enough to make avail
able for foreign commerce without lowering the
| wages of our workmen to the English standard :
