The BOMBAY Hook ROAD.-The first of
this week the first train over the Bombay Hook
Railroad and its connections was run from
Smyrna to Chestertown, Md. via Massey and
Kent County r. r. Col Bingham, accom-.
panied by a small party, made the trip in a
comfortable passenger coach from the South
Jersey road. On reaching CheStertown, after
pleasant run of 25 miles by rail, over this
new route, the party chartered carriages and
drove over to . Herring Ponds, on the Ches-
apeake, IL miles) to view the site of the Ches-
apeake terminus of Jay Goulds railroad en-
terprise This point, opposite Baltimore, (23
miles of water route) is about miles below
POOLS Island, and adjoins "Caulks Field
where the Battle of Caulks" was fought be-
tween Cockburn' Britishers and the Maryland
Militia in the war of IL. The steam dred-
ging machine is DOW engaged in digging a
channel from the Bay to the pond, and the
pile driver is in the pond ready to commence
work on the pier The channel will be about
IS yards. The pond covers an area of about
Sc acres, and has a depth of II feet 1t will
make an unsurpassed harbor for the Baltimore
steamer. The 75-acre purchase of land there,
recently made for the Company by Col. Bing-
ham, gives delightful outlook over the Bay

MORAL REFORM ASSOCIATION OF THE STATE
OF DELAwARE.-An adjourned annual meet
ing Of this Association was held in the Nj. f.
Church of Milford en- Wednesday last, Oc-
tober lst
Hon. c. S. Layton, President, took the
chair, and Thos. j. Davis acted as Secretary
A series of preambles and resolutions we're
adopted, of which the following is the sub.
stance:
Whereas, Moral Suasion, the earnest, per-
severing efforts of the friends of temperance
i'll the past. and the precept of the Gospel
have all failed to stay the food-tide of Intem.
perance therefore
ReS0tUed, That the only effectual preven.
tive to these numerous evils is that of a total
prohibition by Legislative enactment The
second resolution says the Association would
greatly prefer prohibition or local option, but
as they could not get these it thanks the Leg
slature tor the new license law. Ii is resolved
that important duties are devolved upon the
friends of Temperance Reformation to see that
the provisions of said law shall be enforced,
and confidence is expressed in the several off,
GERS in this State, and in the Judges of our
Courts, to second the efforts of the Legislature
to restrain the sale OF Intoxicating liquors.
1t was further resolved that committee OF
ploy counsel in each Court to see that license
is obtained strictly according to law. The fol.
lowing committee was appointed to carry out
this resolution: New Castle Co., s. Hersey,
j. f. Williamson, Leander f. Riddle. Kent
Co., I. B. Coursey, P. T. Carlisle, J. Down.
ham. Sussex CO., Rev. A. d. Davis, T. j.
Davis, Rev. J. Hubbard.
1t was resolved further that committee oI
three be appointed in each town and school
district where application is made for license
to see that remonstrances are circulated among
the people for signatures and collect funds tC
defray the necessary legal expenses incurred il
the enforcement Of the License Law.
| The Association also resolved that the ques
tion of temperance is not necessarily politica
question in any partizan sense, and it does no
demand that nominations should be made from
its ranks to the exclusion of all others, but i
does demand that the Legislative nomination.
at least shall consist OF intelligent moral men
whose character shall be guarantee to thci
acts, and further, that while it is opposed to
separate organization as Temperance Party
nevertheless, should the opponents of temper
ance successfully oppose the nomination o
suitable men for Legislators, it will then fee
under obligations to use our organization 70
the purpose of electing good moral men 70

Is 1T WISE IN Our FARMERS PA Chester
county Quaker is putting flea in the ear of
the farmers of that section over the Patrons OF
Husbandry. He says, in substance, that for
the farmers of the East to join hands with the
Western Grangers to reduce the railroad
freights would be cracking their heads with
their own stick that even now, owing to the
Western competition, the Eastern farmers can
hardly live by grain raising; that if the West
ern Grangers get their grain to the Eastern
markets any cheaper than they already do they
will knock che Eastern price down to a starva-
tion figure; that there is already more grain
produced than is consumed, and therefore, just
in proportion as we cheaper the production
we lower the price that the Western farmers,
having no fertilizers to buy and not very much
to pay for tillage, can raise seventy-fve bush
els of corn per acre for half the expense that
Eastern farmers can grow half that quantity
that if the freights be reduced the Western
corn that is now consumed at home in distil
ling, stock raising, for fuel, &C., would be SC
much more added to the quantity that already
overstocks the market and keeps the price be
low remunerative figures; and that, finally
even if the railroad freights are reduced in the
East, as well as the West, and all over the
country alike, then the price will fall just il
proportion as the freights are reduced, and We
will be no better off than before. 1t seems t.
US there is good deal of force in what ht
says, and we throw these points together fol
those who may have an interest in the subject
How much railroad stock the Quaker farmer
owns we do not know.

FASHIONABLE WEDDING-St. Francis Xa-

Md, and the bride by Miss Ella McDermot. OF
Washington, d. q. The matrimonial cere-
mony was then performed by Father Villiger
according to the rites of the Catholic church,
p ter which the Nuptial Mass was celebrated.
The entire service occupied about an hour, and

with water until water prevailed. As soon as the
fire was stayed in this direction the mass moved
to check II from spreading norlhward. But by
this time Mr.. Lcayys and Mr.. Wallaco's stables
were enveloped In flames, and the heat became so
intense that no one could approach within fifty
feet. Then II was evident that the fire oould nat

the handsome law Office and stable Of 4. ]. Nc
