PIONEER SKETCHES have en-
gagged, from an able young writer, a
series Of Pioneer Sketches Of Delaware
County, the first Of which we print to-
day. We propose to continue these
sketches 50 long as.we can obtain facts
and incidents relating to the early settle
.Fhent and history Of the county which
will be. Of public interest Many Of the
OHginaf settlers Of the county. though
still Living. are SO advanced in years that
iris not unreasonable 10 suppose that
they.w viii soon. disappear from the stage
Of human action. Each and all Of these
veterans, who first shewed the path OF
empire through the wilderness home Of
the Lenapes, and, in the depths of the
forest gave "a local habitation and a
NAME" to our present intelligent and
fourishing community, have reminis-
cences of their early experiences which
are interesting and valuable to the pub
lc, From all such we respectfully So
lieit a'free communication of information
embracing matters Of personal adven-
ture and experience, together with rec
objections of the settlement and history
of each neighborhood, and of the county
at large, to be used in the preparation Of
/
these papers. Such information may be
given in writing. or. where that is not

arrangements toreceive it orally. In all

: CHORAL SOCIETY OF DELAWARE.
It gives US pleasure to refer to the or
ganization of this musical society, which
was consummated a few weeks since.
It already has a membership Of about
thirty persons, composed Of ladies and
gentlemen from town and the colleges.
They meet every Thursday evening in
the beautiful hall Of the Zetagathean
Society at the University. As the organ
ization has just been effected, it needs
much encouragement 1t has long been
a reproach to Delaware thar She does
not possess an efficient musical society.
and social entertainments that
could employ vocal music to advantage,
have been compelled to seek elsewhere
thdnsin Delaware for Societies capable
Of furnishing such music But no one
claims that this needs to be SO. tt
would be strange indeed II Delaware,
with all her acknowledged intelligence,
and culture. had not musical
taste and. talent sufficient to support a
frst-class musical society. There is an
Of talent. and the only ques-
ton to be decided is how to concentrate
and develop it. We are Of the opinion
that this may be done in a greater or
less degree through this Choral Society.
Its membership should include all of
the best singers of the town, and every
possible encouragement should be given
to it. A persistent and earnest effort in
this direction, we cannot but think will
be productive of such an organization as
Delaware may well sbe proud Of long
life and brilliant success we wish for the
Choral Society of Delaware.

EUGENE.
From tAe N. Y. Tribune.


The truth must be told: we do not relish
that picture of Eugenie on the back-stairs.
We are ready to cry La decheGncsl with the
loudest Republican who yelled Vjoe rEna-
pereur yesterday so long as it includes only
the Emperor; we can hear of ''the convulsive
quivering of his waxed moustache," OF see
him wipe away the tears with his glove, y
and smile with stern composure. 1t is the
progress of free ideas, we say, that has over
thrown this Dagon of tyranny. But-let us be
honest-when free ideas drove the Empress
in a shabby cloak into hackney-coach across
the quay, they nauseated us. She is no Dagon.
We remember at once that we are men and
she is woman. More than that-a woman
ish woman. In these days, when our
wives and daughters have in turn each been
"a spirit yet a woman too, and broker
and promulgator of infinite truth into the bar
gain, what a relief our souls have received
afar off in the wife whom Napoleon had hap
PLY found, with her wonderful beauty and
