TO BE HIS OWN s1sTER-BoTH IN THE PENI1EN-
TIART. t .l
From the Chicago Evening journal
There are now in the State Penitentiary, at
Fort Madison. an aged couple who are serving
out term for the crime of incest, they being
brother and sister. The story is this, which ID
true at the age of twelve years the male left
his fathers house to seek his fortune and no
more return. He in time came west grow TO
manhood and married, raised family Of child
rem, and finally his wife died. His Sister grew
10 womanhood, was married, and with her htis-
band came west and 10 Iowa. Her husband died
aud in time she received an offer of marriage
from man who was widower. She accepted
the offef and they were married. Her husband
was wealthy, and after timo one OF his sons
wished the father to give him some property,
but the father refused TO aecede to his sons de-
mands. The son one day while looking over
the family record of the step-mother, which had
been laid aside and forgotten, discovered that
there was a kinslip between the families, and
further investigation proved that his father and
step-mother weFe-own brother and sister. To
syenge himself for his fathers refusal to give
him the bulk of his property, he brought suit
against them both for incest. They were tried
and convicted and sent TO the pententary for
one yesr. They are both over sixty years OF
age. and are innocent of intent crime as the new

ANEW COLLEGE IN WILMINGTON.

frst-class Female College similar in plan and aim
to the celebrated vassar College at Poughkeepsie
N. Y. Some of our leading citizens are deeply
interested in the plan, and active and earnest in
carrying it forward to complete succesa. The
charter for its incorporation is now before the
LEGISLATURE, and at the head of its Trustees is
the name Of the venerable Judge Hall, who, in
past years, has probably done more to advance
the cause Of popular education in Delaware than
any other of our citizens.
This important project is one in which all our
citizens should feel deep and practical interest
Every reason that applies to the thorough ed
ucation of our young men, applies with equal
or even greater force to the higher education of
young women, both for their own sake, and for
the influence they are to exert on Society and the
world. In every part Of Europe the facilities for
female education are increasing, aud its stand.
ard is steadily rising to higher elevation. Great
progress in this direction has recently been
made in Russia and England and France are
also advancing, and it is high time that tho
last relic Of the dark ages and feudal barbarism.
in the comparative disadvantages for the high.
est education of the two sexes, should disappear
from the United States.
NoPlace is better located fer a great Female
College than Wilmington, with Philadelphia and
New York on one side, and Baltimore aud Wash,
ington on the other, while our own rapidly grow.
ing State not only calls for the advantages, but
might easily fill the walls of first class institu.
ton Of this kind. And as vassar College already
elevates the tone Of society, and every yea
distributes hundreds of Thousand of dollar
through the beautiful city in which it is located
so similar institution in Wilmington, would il
these, and many other ways, be of untold yalu,
to our city.

Deserflon and it's Consequences In PeunsyI.
YnnIn.


In Pennsylvania there is q statute which gives
wife the right to bring action for mainten-
anoe against husband who refuses to support
his family, and Judgment being entered against
him for a certain specified sum per week, he is
bound to give security for the payment of the
same, and failing in this he is sent to jal. I'm
der this statute certain Mrs Williamson
brought suit against her husband who had de-
serted her and married another woman. 1t was
proved that the parties were married in Antrim,
ireland, by Catholic priest that they lived to-
gether sixteen years, and had born unto them
seven children before the husband deserted his
family. As a defence the counsel for the delin-
duent husband set up statute passed in the
reign Of George the Second, which provides that
any marriage celebrated after the first day oi
MAY, 174e. between q 'PapistT and person who
professed to be of the Protestant faith shall bt
absolutely null and void. Williamson claims t6
have been a Protestant at the time Of his marri
age and is Protestant now. Judge LUDLOW
refused TO regard this ancient statute rs valit
defence, and ordered Mr.. williamson to give bal
for the maintenance Of his wife.

galrzdRosfTfaz, Nor Be THE AUTHORITY
WV U : nF THE PEOPLE.

Mr.. Grubb, of this city, went down to Middle
town, and proposed two abort whereases, and one
long Resolved. The last involves the magnif-
cent proposition-dont you think?-that the
thiriy-five Thousand citizens living in Whining
ton sheuld be represented in the General Assem-
bly,, by one Senator and t,oo members of the
House In regard to this, which he felt was an
unpAlAtable and unacceptable measure to his
brethren Of the Democracy, Mr.. Grubb insisted
that affairs were in q critical situation Like
the frightened boys in the boat he thought
" something must be done" He therefore pro
81 posed (changing our illustration,) to throw a
tub to the whale OF popular dscontent,b by giving
to the citizens residing in Wilmington ratio of
representation less than one-thrd of that pos
sessed by the other citizens of the State. ''Wil-
mington, "he said, wants an increase of repre-
"sentation, at once. The feeling is gathering
g force, there, and will in time. burst al bar
u N''riers. The time win come when all of us
.'shau be ecompelled to heed it. Let US do SO
without compulsion," .
= Mr.. Grub ia right to the imminent danger
of the fstaous individuals who keep the
safety-valve screwed down, while they feed the
fires of popular dissatisfaction. But as to the
ren4edy he proposes; who authorized him to
make this offer as .Wilningtonian By just
representation Of sll the people, through which
IL every citizen of the State woud have equal
voice in the law-making body, the thirty-Ave
thousand citizens living in Wilmington are en-
titled to at least three Senators and seven Rep
resentatives Mr.. Grubb proposes to compromise
for three-tenths of what belongs to them. Ishe
their authorized Attorney Does he properly
represent them? Who gave him leave to say
that citizen OF Delaware, living in Wilmington,
is only entitled to one-third the rights that q
citizen living in one of the other Hundreds en-
joys?
Again, Mr.. Grubbs resolution encourages the
mischieyous pretense that the interests of VIII
ming are adverse to those Of the remainder of
the State. He could not do the people Of our
city and those of the State worse service than
to treat with respect, or even patience, this in.
famous notion. Jealousy between sections has
been the favoIite weapon, always by which dem
agogues oppose comprehensive measures Of Pro
gress. The local jealousy which is now being &c
sedulously cultivated in some quarters is desra
bic from no point of view but that OF the enemy
ofState Reform, and it is bad, ugly, and injuE
ious to every good citizen. Dstrust, suspicion
envy, jeaousy-All these being sowed ant
watered, but they are mean crop of vile weeds
and we hope will be prematurely cut down. Ii
the meanwhile, all good citizens, such as We
know Mr.. Grubb ts be, will certainly neither d.
or say anything tending to produce the belief il
any mans mind that the people of Wilmington
are less fair and honorable tli-n utLer residents
ef the State, or have, by any reason, justly in
Cured the unfriendy feeling Of their fellow cit
izens.
