lay the resolution Of DR.. Brown on the table,
which motion was carried, with but few dissent
ing voices.
William Dean arose. and after a few remarks,
offered resolution reafiirming the platform OF
the Democratic party of 1870, Rs the true expo
nent OF the principles Of the Democratic party
in 1879.
DIR Swithin Chandler hoped nothing would be
done to read any person out OF the Democratic
party he would rather readimore into It. After
several interruptions by Councilman Quinn, Boss
Given, John =. Springer aud others, DIR. Worrell
OF Delaware City obtained the floor, and electri-
fed the audience by recital of his sufferings
during eight months imprisonment, during the
late war in Federal dungeon and all for the
Democratic party, which he loved next to his
God, and although in full sympathy with the
resolution Of Mr.. Dean, and not wishing to open
wider the bloody chasm, over which we were
about to clasp hands, he moved to postpone the
further consideration Of the resolution until the
meeting Of the next County Convention, which
motion was carried almost unanimously not
withstanding the opposition by Mr.. Dean who
in loud voice told the Convention that they
would need those votes to elect their ticket.
The Convention then adjourned, when the war
OF words was continued, TO an almost indefinite
extent in front Of the Court house, and at the
hotels.

ent OF Insurance, dlvulges the fact that its liza
bllities are in Of It's assets over two hun
dred thousand dollars. Its outstanding CON
tracts, however, will probably be made good. as
the stockholders OF the company are held liable,
under an Ohio statute, not merely to the extent
of their investments, but for twice that amount.
Hence the shareholders are assessable up to the
sum OF $500, 900 beyond the capital they own
The failures Of the Andes Company takes its
origin in the disastrous fires in Chicago and the
Northwest. 1t was organzed with cash capital
of $l,OU0000 in July, 1870, and in one year
thereafter paid dividend Of five per cent. The
most shrewd and successful business men Of the
West were the conductors Of it's affairs, but the
avalanche Of disaster which befel it in the burn

subsequent disasters have driven it to close up
its business.

THE CAUSE OF HIS FAILURE-How HE MEETS HIS
OBLIGATIONS ETC.
The Middletown Transcript, Of Saturday, says
On Saturday last there we're rumors aAoat that
W. II. Wanser, the ''Peach King" OF New York,
had failed. Upon inquiring the facts. we learned
that it was only partial failure. Mr.. Wanser
had bought what was represented to be $4,000
baskets Of peaches, at about IS cents per basket
but when the season for picking came on the
crops were much larger than he anticipated Up
to a week ago he had sold So 900 baskets, and
the orchards he had bought had still at least
10000 baskets more in them. Had the orchards
yielded only the amount represented, Mr.. Wan
ser would have gotten through the season, pay
ing all that he agreed to pay. However, he has
made satisfactory arrangements with those Of
whom he purchased, that is, to pay so cents per
basket upon all shipped up to the 18th inst. and
to receive all the balance on commission. As an
evidence that this arrangement is satisfactory,
and tina his creditors have not lost confidence
in Mr.. Wauser, all Of them are now shipping
their fruit to him. and we have not heard one
word in condemnation OF him

A Relict Of the Past.
DISCOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF A rANNERY IN A
MARSH,


The Denton (Md) Journal says
Levin W. Robinson. Esq a few weeks ago set
bis farm hands TO throwing up marsh mud, from
the edge of Orowberry Greek, on his farm ly-
ing on the Choptank river between Dover
Bridge aud Hog Greek. and when they had
thrown up the mud to thu dept, Of two feet,
they came upon box which. upon examination,
proved to be a vat, part of the remains of a
tannery. Further digging led to the discovery
OF ten or twelve Of these yats The timber, two
inch oak was as solid as new plank. Remnants
OF hides and bark were found in the bottom Of
these watts. When or by whom this taunery waa
established il not known. The Oldest inhabi-
tants have neither recollection nor tradition to
aid in solving the question
The farm was originally patented to Mr.. Far
riss, about two hundred years ago. and is still
known as Farriss' Landing. He and his de-
scendents are all gone, and it is likely that the
inquiry, when and by whom this recently exhu-
med tannery was erected, will always remain
unanswered
