TIE DOVER HoTEL.-The proposition to erect
largo and frst-class hotel at Dover, is not a.
popular, as it was few weeks ago. Then, the
leading men in the town were high in favor of the
project. Now, they have their attention turned
to an entirely different affair. After the incor.
poration Of the Company, the subscription books
were opened, and for a few days subscriptions
were received in quite lively manner About
this time however, the Government authorities
announced that propositions would be received
for site for the new post office to be erected in
Dover, for which an appropriation was made al
the last session of Congress
The hotel was then forgotten and neglected,
and the attention of those interested turned to
the offering Of "elgble sites" for the erection Of
new postofhce on the "most reasonable terms"
This Is the most absorbing business topic in Dover
at present, and the new hotel, for while, at
least will remain in obscurity

I. CHAUNcET BURR IN Removable Rich
mond Enquirer, of March Is, says -
Another intellectual feast was enioyed by the
select and cultivated audience that assembled in
Assembly Hall last night to hear Mr. Chauncey
Rurr's lecture on Historical Proofs of the Pln-
rality OF the Human Species" This was the
fourth lecture Of Mr. Burrs series, aud was pro-
badly more prolific of erudItion than any which
have preceded Ii encompassing as it did breadth
OF silence and history which are hardly so clos .ly
related in his other subjects. As q profound
thinker and logieian, Mr.. Bnrr is acknowledged
10 nave few, II any, equals. His reasoning is
chain perfect in its finish and irrefragible in its
strength
Discarding that speculative philosophy where
ornate deceptiveness is its only strength, Mr.
Burr handles science and history, sacred and pro.
lane as they are, in his treatment OF his subject,
building every argument upon a foundation of
facts and making it radiate towards common
centre. In his depth Of research the ''Moderp
Metaphysician" is undermined as II were mad
vertently, aud its structure tumbles from its own
weight, as does the whole confederation of falla-
cles whose opponents aim beyond truth. Mr..
burrs lectures are a rare contribution TO science
and will we hope, be repeated at no distant day

~ The exhibition of the pupils of the
Stockton school, on the 25th and 26th proved
to be a perfect success. The short time taken
for preparation, and the number of pieces
that were left over, showed an interest and
labor on the part of all concerned highly
creditable to them. -Four plays, number of
recitations and vocal and instrumental music,
finishing off with some humorous panto-
mines, made up tie performances.
The stage, though small, was tastefully ar
ranged and brilliantly lighted, and some of
the dresses in the tableaux could not have
been more rich and artistic. The rain on Sa'-
urday evening prevented many from attend
ing, but the house was filed, and the storm
without forgot until all was finished. The
performance lasted from a quarter to 8
until 105, and many then wanted repetition
of their favorite pieces. This will be done on
Friday evening next, when those who desire
will have an opportunity of seeing the plays
and some new performances. The sum of
fifty dollars was cleared, and it would have
been much larger if the rain had not inter-
fered.

AccrpENr.--We learn from the Republican
that an accident happened on the farm of
Thomas Lequcar, in Kingwood, on the 21st
inst, that might have resulted fatally. They
were hauling hay, aud his son, John d Lee
quear, was operating a patent hay-fork. A
little hay got i'll one of the pulleys, making
it run hard, and in his efforts to pull the fork
from the NOW he broke the chain that pulls
the trigger of the fork, throwing him violent
ly backward and precipitating him ON the
floor below. 1t was feared that he had sus-
tanned internal injuries, but investigation
proved that he escaped with few slight
bruises about the head and shoulders Medi-
cal aid happened to be at hand, and the
young mau was well cared for.
John seems to be an unlucky boy. we
learn that short time ago he was thrown
from his horse one night on his way home
caused by drunken man lying in the road'
but escaped with few scratches.

eH In another article we have suggested
that the Common Council establish a training
school for the instruction of the city officer
in the duties of their position. This appear
to be absolutely necessary if the Offices an
designed for any other purpose than for pay
ing out the funds of the city in salaries.
There is the Street Commissioner, for in
stance. He goes on expanding city money il
repairs &C., without any authority from the
Council; while the ordinance creating this
Office plainly requires that he shall first sub
nit to the Council report Of the work required
to be done and authority be- given to pro
coed with it. He is also expected to see that
the work on the streets is done properly and
economically and yet he does this work III
we are not wrongly informed) as sort of con-
tractor, and Of course derives pecuniary
benefit therefrom in addition to his pay as
pected under these circumstances that he as
Street Commissioner would object to his own
work as contractor.
The night police are expected to walk the
streets and keep order. Instead of this, If
they al Q Cen at all, they are generally seen
sitting in shops, stores, on the corners, while
little or no effort is made to clear the corners,
and the steps and doofways in front of pub
lie places of crowds of young men, who OBJ
struct the sidewalks, indulge in profanc and
vulgar language, and expectorate filthy to-
bacco juice upon ladies, dresses as they pass.
These police are also expected to light the
lamps and they have been instructed to light
them whenever the night is dark, moon or no
moon But time and again, the city has been
left in darkness on stormy nights by their
presumption that the moon win give light,
notwithstanding the intervening clouds -
This has several times been the case on Sum
day nights when no assistance can be derived
from the lights in stores and public places.
1t is also the duty of certain officers to ar
rest all persons found violating the state as
well as the local laws. This they are sworn
to do. Yet men are allowed to hold lottery
in our public streets; to keep shops open on
Sunday to utter the most blasphemous oaths /;
and otherwise to violate the laws without any
apparent effort on their part to discharge their
sworn duty.
Instances of neglect on the part OF other
officers might be named, but these are suffi-
Gent for our purpose.
1t may be said by these various officers that
they are not aware of all that is required of
them That is just what we are talking about.
1t is time that persons who accept offices
should in some way be made to learn what
their duties are, and be called to an ac-
count if they are not performed.

The STocxyeN SCHOOL, The public school
at Stockton is quite vigorously conducted,
and the beautiful new house In which the ses-
sions are held aids in rendering it attractive to
the children Mr. Chas. Hurley is the ex-
cellent principal of the school and Mrs. Anna
Jones. the lady teacher In addition to Mrs.
Jones' ability as teacher, she possesses con-
siderable musical talent, and has trained the
children daily in the rudments of music.
Their proficiency was shown in the concert
last week. These concerts were given to
purchase an organ for the school, thus re-
lieving some of the old fogies, who have been
fearing that the district would be taxed to
buy one of the "tarnal things"
In view of the success of the school, we
should think the twenty-eight persons who
voted against it last spring, and some Of whom
had such bad spell of it, would feel like
dropping all opposition, if indeed, they have
not already done SO. n
