nv fruit TO New York for. during the
coming season. made an informal pre-
liminary report, that President Hinck-
lev. OF the Y. w. a. b. r.. r.. Co., would
not refund but Eve dollars per car,
while ten dollars, IL was elainaed, was
agreed should be refunded 10 the ship
pers. The Executive Committse also re-
ported that the Delaware Raiiroao Com
many had collected $4,000 from the
peach shippers to cover the State tax on
their cars, which Mr.. Hinckley stated
he was willing TO return to the shippers,
| ii the suits instituted by the State
against the company, and now pending
| in Court. were decided in favor Of the
company, after deducting all expenses
of tile suits. The committee further re-
ported that the Railroad Companies
were willing to make considerable re-
duction from last years rates for the
hire of their cars during the coming sea-
son. Taking Middletown as starting
point. the hire for car load of fruit to
| Jersey City would be 800; from Clayton,
S95: and from Dover, 500. But from all
4 stations below Dover the rates would be
relatively less than stations above.
Considerable debate was ELECTED by
the report of the COMMITTEES, aud partici.
pated in by Hon. Charles Brown, sam l
Townsend, II. III. Cummins, j. "A. Full
ton. Manlove Hayes, and @. III. b. Day,
and the action of the Railroad Compa-
MES relative to drawback freights, and
their charges of State taxes to peach
shippers severely commented on.
Many members of the legislature were
present and listened to the debate, and
otherwise seemed 10 regard the proceed
ings with much interest. GT ~
It Is thought the proposition Of the IN.
r, Company to reduce the freight from
Il al IN ar rail- :
er than stations above, is for the purpose
OF preventing fruit shipments by the
Junction and Breakwater Railroad to
Lewes, thence by boat to New York.
The Association adjourned to meet the
third Tuesday in April, when the Exec.
utive COMMITTEES will submit their final
report. s.s. i7o ralf-r .ica

"REMINISCENCES.

Among the preachers entertained at
the house of Rcberr Patterson. the
writer's father, at the cob ference OF the
M. l.. Church OF 1920, held in this town,
was the Rev. Francis Waters, local
preacher of said church, and President
Of Washington College, at Chestertown,
Md. The writer's brother was pupil
at that institution, and on that aceount,
an invitation was extended to the Presi
dent to visit us during the. Conference
Among our other guests was Bishop
George, who Inas ed his congregation to

OF such an institution, 1t was thought ex-

services. Accordingly, on a certai q
evening, the Rev. VIM. Ryland, dis
tingiiished preacher of the Conference,
and Rev. James Smith, known among
the preachers and people as Britimors
Smith, to designate him from two 9th

our guests, TO SEQ what they could dc

Senate, and Mr.. Ebe Tunnel, member
of the House from Baltimore Hundred,

Wilmington, very handsomely attired,
came down to attend the Ball, but was

admission, for what reason it is not gem

DEATH OF Ex.-Gov. CAUsxY.-
Ex.-Goy. Peter F. Causey died at his

Aged seventy years and one month";
Seldom has it fallen to the lot of the
printer to announce to demise of one
who, in all the relations of life hath
more faithfully and honorable discharg-
ed his duties than the subject of our
notice, reared up to the mercantile
profession in our town, which business
he pursued with untiring diligence and
interchangeable exertions in all his earli-
er days, amassing comfortable compe-
tence with which he accomplished
great good. Ever foremost in all en-
terprizes for the promotion of the bcst
interests Of the town and vicinity, witt
a full and liberal hand for all Charts.
BILE and benevolent purposes, strictly

such was Peter b. Causey. Having
filled various important trusts in Churcl
and State during his active life viii
such fidelity, he was elected to the Of
fee of Governor of the State in 1856

THERE has been trouble between the
two b. anches Of the Maine Legislature.
A committee appointed by the last
to investigate tAe ''papeF
credit frauds" in relation to filling the
Maine quota of troops during the re-
bellion, reported 10 the Senate Of the
present Legislative, which suppressed
a portion of tho evidence, for the rea~
SOC, il is alleged, that many prominent
msn in the State were by it more or
less implicated in dishonest transact
tons. The House, becoming curious
in regard to the matter, made re-
quest that the report should be trans
mitted to il; which the Senate refused,
coupling the refusal with sarcastic or
der requesting the House ''to transmit
to the Senate resolves in relation to
the war between Prussia and France
in order that the Senate may cooper
crate with the House in its efferts to
stay the 'ayenging sword Of King
William, and the sfratricidal contest
now in progress between Prussia and
France, and secure to said countries an
honor able and lasting peace.o The re-
eeption Of this order was the occasion
Of great indignation, and a special COM
mittee was appointed to devise mea-
sures for resenting the insult. 81 3
