Jyxursr-Tbe insiuuation Of the Advertiser
In regard to the conduct OF MIR. pickeis III uiS'
bursting over sixty thousand dollars oil the e,sy
s,,a. in the settlement Of damages awarded Tor
widening Water and other streets, Is most I'M
ins,. II is true that the law desisnales the
strss. Commissioner as the officer to perform
sncb service. hut the examination OF the neces-
...v oaels required so mach labor and the dif-
ferent items were so large, that more time was
required In the settlement than saiu oineer
could well devote.to it, and MIR. PICKLES. Us
Chairman of the Finance Committee, appear
ed to be the most fitting person to perform lpis
dutv. 1t is sufficient to soy that be did per-
form 1t satisfactorily aud well, calling on every
plrty, procuring the necessary deedsaha 'ouen-
ers. without fee or reward for his services
Had an attorney been employed to perform Tue
same duty, a fee of at least sooo wouid nave
been demanded, and this our friend OF the All
vertiser would doubtless have considered en-
tramely moderate. We think business men
z Who understand the matter,will give MIR. PICK
els credit for his good management anu ap
plaud the motives which led to 1t as lhey were
for the good of the city. The account was sat
isfactorily settled at the bank aud the necessary
vouchers are OF hand to show the fairness o
the the entire transaction. The City did NO
lose one cent, while the tax on the time OF Mi
Pickles was certainly very considerable. Their
is no danger whatever Of this action ieaaingt
fraud. Such large sums, most probably WI
never be appropriated in this way again. aud he
side Council would hardly select an nhtruS
worthy member for such duty, for Republican
as well as Democrats are interested in the pro
lection of the treasury Of the City from ioss,an
no appropriation canbe made with cohcn
reuce of A majority of the members.

Eemmer and the singing 10y the Young ladies'
entertained all who were fond of the divine art,
while others chatted, ptoinenaied and enjoyed
themselves as fancy dictated. As the boat grad
ually swept out into the bay the gentle swell OF
the water increased TO q roll, and the complaint
of rather a rough sea, was followed by sickness
on the part of many ladies' that was anything
else but pleasant, and the exercises were not at
all graceful. Some OF them looked as piteous
as though they had been bereft of every friend
and had no one whatever to afford either AID OF
sympathy. The water however grew rather
smoother as the boat advanced, and when She
touched the landing, the party, with few eX'
ceptions, were ready TO 20 ashore and take Q

of q grotesQue character, and hasted 10 lave

TERRIBLE DIsAsTER-The steamer Wawa-
set, plying on the Potomac river between Wash
ington and Curriomari, was burned during her
trip on Friday, when some forty lives were lost,
including several ladies and children. The fire
broke out in the hold and the progress OF the
flames was so rapid as TO defy every effort 10
save the boa. or effect landing. The steamer
was run aground about 200 yards from the Vir-
ginia shore and burnt to the waters edge
Many were lost by jumping into the life boat
and causing 1t to sink. There were plenty OF
life-preseryers Oh board, yet in the panic they
we've entirely overlooked. Among those known

SUCH A FEsTIvAL.-ueIe is the manner in
which some Cecil Countians conduct them
selves at Church festivals, according to the Bay
View correspondent of the Cecil Democrat -
Rev. MIR. Yingling presented his wife with a
quart of ice cream, she eat few spoonfuls and
set the balence by; along came loose-fingured
chap and seized the Ice cream and carried It off
to be heard of no more. Mr.. q. NJ. Janney had
his carriage whip stolen from his carriage the
evening before. Still the festival went ON. A
battle was fought in the church on Monday
night, between the committee and some drunken
men. They fought considerable length of
time. The window glass flew like hail, and the
newly painted benches were soiled and dsfig-
ured. Two young men were seized by the coat
collars and thrown from the church into the
yard. John Wesley, man of great strength,
commanded the peace, and all was calm ia al
instant. This ended the festival.
Rose TINTED.--Rev. Mr.. Watson, the "how,
cry preacher" of Dover, as lie is called, thus
gives the rose tint to Rehoboth and recreation
"To spend couple of weeks by the sea in

that lovely place into historical fact. The
transition from busy library, dusty street,
rolling csrriage-whcels, domestic cares, and the
routine of church work, to camp chair under
forest shades, undisturbed siestas, and daily
plunge in the sea, has become to some of us,
matter of experience. While spending such
life how things are reversed. Instead of preach
ing to others, we ourselves become auditors in
tho sun-varnished walls Of Natures temple,
with the eternal one for preacher, who puts
tongues In the tops of the waving oaks, and in

Poor BoYs I'm the Ukrain,

generally than the men. When
a young woman falls in love with
a young man she is not in the
least ashamed to 60 to his fathers
house and reveal her passion in
the most tender and pathetic man

submissive obedience if he will
accept her as q wife. Should
the insensible man pretend any
excuse, she tells him she is resolv
ed never to 60 out of the house
till he gives his consent, and &C.
cordingly, taking up her lodg-
iDgs, remains there. If he still
obstinately refuses her his case
becomes exceedingly distressing.
