citizens favorable to the encouragement Of
manufacturing enterprise 10 Smyrna"
quite a number met at FoxwelPs Hotel on
Thursday evening last, and although there
were but six of those who signed the call
present, there seemed to he no lack OF
earnest interest on the part OF the large
number in attendance, and from the gen
eral tone of our citizens we feel confident
that they are now fully aroused to the i'm
portanee and necessity of laying aside the
theoretical and taking a practical view OF
. this matter. The meeting was organized
by calling John A. Lavender, Esq., TO the
chair, and appointing John W. Flick,
Esq, Secretary.
Mr.. Lavender, on taking the Chair,
stated the object Of the meeting, and in a
few appropriate aud well-timed remarks,
pointed out the great necessity of the eth

How 1t Feels to be Hung,
A WEST CHESTER ROY TRIES 1T FROM
CuRIOsIrY.

WEST CHESTER RoT TRIES 1T FROM
CURIOSITY.
The West Chester Record says; Ever
since the hanging of George Grant at the
Chester County Prison two months since,
Alfred Chase, a colored youth of IL sum
mers. son of Alex. Chase, whose family
mansion is located near Seger's mill In
Pocopsou township, has had great desire
to know and feel the sensation OF banging.
Several times within the past few weeks
he has told his mother and sister that he
" would like 10 know Just how II felt 70
be hung" and we think he has bad Ills
ambitions gratlhed, at least he has not ex-
hibited any longiugs that way since Mon
dag last. On that day bis mother, before
leaving home, corrected him for some mis-
demeanor and said be ought 10 be sent 70
the House Of Refuge. This reonke the
lad thought severe, and soon AFTER his
mothers departure concluded TO experience
the hanging sensation. Procuring rope
/ he slipped out OF the house, got upon a
chair fastened one end of the rope TO q
clothes line hook in the side of the house;
secured the other end around his neck and
swung OF. Some time after he was missed
f,om the house and his sister on looking
up his whereabouts found him hanging Al
above described, his feet barely touching
the ground, He no doubt +" felt Just how
il was to be hung" much sooner than h
had ant clpated, as he had "scratehe'
gravel considerably In his efforts to 60
back upon the chair In order to get ~
good feeling" Alfred. did not depend OF
the ordinary slip knot, but after loop
ing the rope around bis neck gave II wv
extra wraps, and luckily he did, for TIL
no doubt saved his life, as i prevented N
loop from slipping and choking him Z
death, When discovered, life was near
exliuct. He was taken down and ply
J sician sent for. When DR.. r, G. smedlel
of West Chester, arrived Alfred was sti

swAnTaMoRn, PA, AND REV. DIR. FROST.
Tpesdav afternoon at four o'clock, the
Teachers Institute met at school mouse
No The tllrd.sto large room was
well filled with ladies and gentlemen,
mostly the former. On the platform,
were Misses Griffin, E. A. Fraser, 5. L.
Hare. NJ. l.. Sanford and Revs. Murphy
and Frost OF the Episcopal Church.
Miss Sanford, being introduced, said
The duties of the eacher are nrduous. l
Is not time that Is wanted but to know
how to Tut time to the best use. She has
been 20 wears visiting schools, but has
never been through school In which
there was so much cheerful obedience OF
scholars and good order, as in the school
hire.
1t may be owing that the teachers have
better idea Of moral culture of the chill
dren. Teachers are responsible for the
children's moral culture, Ii a child goes
from school without proper knowledge
Of mathematics, without suitable instruc
ton in reading, sc, for the thirgs which
have been neglected, the teacher will be
blamed. So with the moral culture
morality is a matter of education. If d
child is to be brought up to uu earnest
love of truth and moral virtue, he must bI
taught il. He needs such teaching just al
much as of mathematics.
The teachers to teach purity and trutl
should be pure and truthful. Truth Is o
Priceless value, and is proportion tina
children take il to their souls they will b
enriched. The penalty must not be sever
on the unlruthful. in school. There is
mode Of reasoning with the children an
dealing kindly with them. Children shoul
be taught neatness and refinement. Musi

legislative Gossip.
THE THIRD WEEK OF TIE LEGIsLATuRE-
AN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM 10 BE E5rAB
LIsHED-BILL5 PROPOSED.


THE THIRD WEEK OF TIE LEGISLATURE
AN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM 10 BE E5rAB
LIsHED-BILLs PROPOSED.
Special cor.espon ience ofthe JsuRssL,
DOVER, January Goth. The third week
of the present session of the Legislature
opened brislSly this afternoon, ind for an
hour aud a-half members were busy making
motions, introducing new business, etc.
The injustice of the law which practi-
cally taxes twice real estate under bond
and mortgage is beginning to be realized,
and Lewis Thompson's bill, introduced
last week, which docs away with Thu, is
growing in favor. Under the present law,
If a man owns $4,000 farm, which is
mortgaged to the amount OF $1,000, the
State collects two separate and distinct
taxes. Il first demands the taxes due
from the $4,000 farm aud then taxes the
$4,000 mortgage. If Mr.. rhompson's bill
becomes law, and | think it will, the
mortgage must be deducted from the as
eessed value of the farm. Thus, but one
tax will be collected, the farm paying its
share and the mortgage being required TO
do the same.
At last Delaware is to have good edu-
cational system, or, at least, an eflrt will
be made soon for the passage of law
aboli-hing the present system or improg-
ing it TO such an extent, II will be put
beyond recognition by lis most Intimate
friends or enthusiastic apologists.
The Committee on Educu'iOn In the
House, Is composed of intelligent men who
are determined 10 do their duty. They do
not wish, however, to act hastily in the
matter and have decided to wait and study
the subject thoroughly before preparing o
bill. The committee propose 10 crres-
pond with several prominent educators on
the subject, and thus avail themselves OF
the sound Judgment and riie experiences
of Others.
The committee will also, probably, re-
port bill providing for this education OF
the colored people, and fight for its pas
sage. The necessity the policy for doing
this is now Acknowledged and the pr aspect
of every child, black or white, residing In
this State, being provided with cool
schools, Is bright an decidedly eneoufag-
ing.
Among the bills that will soon he Intro
dueed is one providing for n stay law
P,ttions are being nuncrous,y signed
Suss ex County asking such an cnactmen
AS Sussex is Generally successful in hei
demands, a stay law here will doubtless be
i'm existence ere long. A bill requiring
Sheriff. to postpone sales of real estat'
for three years providing the bids for The
property do not reach so per cent. of ii
assessed value, will also be introduced
Should the bill be passed, however, th'
older of the property will be required u
give security for the amount OF lnteres
which has accrued and also in the amour
which viii accrue. A bill for the division
Of Broad Creek Hundred, Sussex County
, will also be introduced aud will pass.
