Is it from fear of another Harrison

positive wrong, the folly of the rankest in
consistency For the State itself sets up
vast depository, not only of cider, but
of spirituous liquors at Portland, and au-
thorizes 4 rum-shop in every town within
It's limits Setting out that rum is the
fountain head Of all evil, and the rum

provisions for maintaining both at the

PROGRESS, THIS TERM NEW SCHOOLS OPENED
PERCENTAGE OF ATTENDANCE.
Outside OF Wilmington, there are now about
ten schools opened, in this State, for colored
children, under the supervision of the "Dela-
ware Association" These are at Christiana,
LAUREL Newark Mt. Pleasant, Dutch Neck,
Middletown, Mt. Friendship, Summit Bridge,
and Odessa. The eolored people are doing a
still larger share than heretofore toward the
maintenance Of the schools, their self-imposed
payments ranging from sc per month in money,
and the board of the teacher. to Sl4 per month
and board. This last sum is raised by those who
send to the school at Middletown. 1t is one Of
the largest and most efficient outside of VIII
miDgton. -
The Howard School, in this city, which still
remains in charge of the Association, had. at the
beginning of November, ll9 pupils. For the
same time last year the enrolment was but 10,
showing large increase at the present time.
The payment of the tuition fee is made more
punctually and cheerfully than ever before, and
the percentage of attendance is gratifyingly
large, it being, for the month OF October, ~. b,
leaving only 2.5 per cent of absence, out Of the

TUE NEW IRON WORKS AT NEwPoRT-NArURE AND
EXTENT OF THE ENTERPRISE.

THE NEW IRON WORKS AT NEwPoRT-NATURE AND
EXTENT OF THE KHTERPRIsE.
It has already been announced in the CONNER
cIAL that O. r. Marshall, of Marshalls Rolling
Mill, on White Clay Creek near Green Bank on
the W. q W. Railroad, and Joseph p. and Will
liam Richardson would engage in the manufac-
ture of iron at Newport, next summer The nee
essary buildings are now in process of erection.
and the machinery is being prepared in anticipa-
tion of a commencement In May next.
The site Of the new works is on the east side
of the p, w. Il b. Railroad, within hundred
feet of the tracks, and at the north end Of New
port. The Christiana flows within hundred
feet of the rear of the buildings, thus affording
both railroad and water facilities. Before pur-
chasing this site these gentlemen were prospect
ing around Wilmington, but they were asked
$11 900 for quantity Of land sufficient for their
purposes, whereas they paid only $500 for that
which they have purchased at Newport.
But one building will be erected at present.
This is considerably larger than was the original
intention, an addition having been raised since
the frame work was put up. This building ts
8Ox9O feet (60x90 being the size first determined
upon } ia IS feet high to the square, with a roof
of 70 feet pitch. 1t Is eurmounted by a vepti-
lator 80 feet long ~ feet wide and ~ feet high
With the exception of the addition the building
is all enclosed. This is a frame building aud
constructed Of the best white pine, the upright
posts being oak. The principal rafters span
the entire width Of the building and are seven
in number. These are 10x12 inches. The cor
ner posts are 10 inches square. 1t will thus be
seen that the building will be very substantial.
On the East of this building boiler house 10
x45 feet will be built, and in the rear black
smith shop, 16x16 feet. In the front of the
building and near the Railroad, neat frame
Office will be erected
The construction of these buildings is usder
the superntendence Of John b. johnson, OF this
city, who is rapidly pushing them TO completion.
The work was first begun on the oath OF October;
the frame Of the original building raised on the
4th of November, and Of lhe addition, yesterday.
All the machinery is being built in this city.
The rolls will be driven by a 200 horsepower
engine, with horizontal boiler, and cylinder rs
inches in diameter and % inches stroke A
smaller engine will also be required 10 drive the
lighter machinery. The furnaces win be five In
number-thrse Puddling, one Heating and one
Crate Bar iron will be the exclusive product
of these works. They will give employment to
about 80 men.
Before the erection of the works was begun,
il was thought impossible TO have them In oper-
alton before July next, but the propretors ex
pect to turn out their first product in May. They
estimate the total cost OF preparation at S50 900
