The Working Mems Benevolent Association, az
Tamaqua, Hazleton, Pottsville, and other places,

VINoENT's HISTORY OF DELAwARE.-The
18th number Of this interesting history is now
out. We now have picture Of the darker
.sAa4es ofanceut Delawares socislphse,, The FIRST
elopement case occurs. The minister's wife
runs away with man named Jacob Jongh.-
longh Is now dead but his evil deeds live after
him, and for the first time for over two hundred
years, the account of his wickedness is made
known in print to the public. He has the
unenvlable reputation Of being the first Delawa-
rean that broke the 10th commandment. (Ev'l
,Iongh.) The first Delaware preacher, who thus
loses his wife, consoles himself by marrying a
Girl is years old. The two Governors OF our
State still quarrel. Beekman, 0he querulous,
fault-fnding Beckmsn) and the bold, rash, inn
peiuous D'Hinoyossa, still run counter to each
other in all their public acts,and D'Hinoyossain
suits his confederate by sending him word by a
small hoy, when he came within his jurisdiction
to soc hun, that che could not speak with him
with good conscience and advised him to go
home.n A great battle is fought between the
Chistiana Indians, (the Minquas), and the Sene
cas- within ourlState, and the latter are defeated
The Indians still murder. A: description
of the first Delaware miller (who can be de-
scrbed) is given. The Mennonlsts settle a
Iewes. The city Of Amsterdam finds she ha
purchased an elephant in buying part of Della
ware, aud, not being able to get ont of II, pur

trade is entered into. The Swedes now wax
