SOME INFORMATION CONCERNING TEE UNION m

Location of theproposed Workingmen's Cooper.
alive Co., Of Wilmington, to different looalitissin
that county, and the mAgnanimous Offers which
have been made the committee to establish the
enterprise in those towns respectively, induced
. COMMERCIAL reporter to interview one Of those
foremost in the movement, to the end that We
might ascertain what is proposed to be done,
and what stage Of progress in the organization
Of the Company has been reached. Although
thoroughly conversant with all the details Of
the enterprise, the gentleman could not impart
us all the information we desired, owing to
the secrecy with which those engaged In 1t arc
bound up, but he freely told us all that proprie-
ty and due observance Of his pledge would al
low. '.''''r
The present movement, although mostly In
object in view, is separate and distinct from tho
| one started here some time ago. A difference in
sentiment and feeling among the originators Of
the enterprise led to the formation, or q move
which will culmiuate in the formation, Of . now
company. upon different principles. The origina!
design was to prosecute tho building Of railroad
cars exclusively, and the name agreed upon was
| the Workingmen'B CoOperA,ivs Car building
Co. Some OF the projectors thought 1t would BE-
unwise to organise tho Company upon basis

Tho follnUinp acenes are prAaAnted Av

The following scenes are presented every day
or two, in the western quarter Of this city. A
chicken tied by the leg to stake is the mark
guns loaded with any thing, from slugs to small
bird-shot, the weapons; aud lusty, powerful men
are the heroes. At fifty yards distance, for ten
cent per shot, the unfortunate old hen who had
grown tough and stringy in faithful service is
bombarded until the last spark Of life has been
blown out OF her and then her carcass with all
the lead fired into it by less successful marks
man becomes the property Of the last shot.
Even more brutal sport than this was witness-
cd day or two ago. A fine gander was tied to
the stake aud for ten cents trial, ,At distance
of eight yards young colored men threw bricks
at the bird. The first shot barely missed the
gander's head. the second shot broke wing, the
third shot struck the same wing knocked the
bird down, and drew blood. A fierce discussion
arose as to whether the bird could stand or not
its inability to remain erect making 1t the prize
of the man who "threw that lAst brick" The
gander wAs released to wAdde away. This de-
termined the CASE, and It was again tied. A
fourth brick broke one leg; but the gAnder only
gave squeak, and stood on the other. A fifth
brick shocked the other leg from under it; and
a broad shouldered young man seized his prize
by the neck, swung it round twice, and then
hired friend in shsbby clothes to cut its head
of, lest in doing it himself the blood would
spoil his holiday attire.
The crowd of rural gdnins looked with admir-
alton on the skill aud prowess Of . young ath-
lete who with five bricks alone attacked and kill
ed a gander safely tied by the leg !-Ns,obern

Information has reached this office Of sad

ago and conveyed to his boarding house on
Canal street below Pine II Was soon discovered

Of Health. The unfortunate man IL supposed
to have fingered throughout his whole sickness
without as much rs medical assistance or tho
least attention from any one
Last night the people residing in that neigh
borhood were startled and terrified by hearing
loud and continued shouts Of water for God 3
sake, water" the sounds coming from the room
supposed to be occupied by the unfortunate
smallpox patient. This morning the mystery
was solved, as the man was ascertained to be
dead.
Evans was last employed ~ lAborer on the
Berks County Railroad, and had been in the hAb-
it Of drinking freely when In the possession Of

HOW DOVER PROPOSED TO ERECT PUBLIC IMPROVE
MENTs AND DIDN'T.
The Smyrna Times is authority for the follow
ing:
Dover assembled in town meeting on Friday
evening, DR.. l. Jump in the chair, to devise
means for building town hall Things went
smoothly enough until Judge Houston made
motion that the Legislature be requested to pass
law enabling the town to issue town bonds for
the purpose. Between motion to "adopt" and
to indefinitely postpone" the meeting got 30
warm that it had to adjourn until Monday night.
At the Monday night meeting the question OF
indefinite postponcment was again put and car
ried in bot haste, and amid fearful tumult.
An entsrprising citizen, Mr.. W. l.. Cannon,
finding that the meeting was too mad to build
town hal, suggested thai new hotel was needed
and moved that the meeting try the hotel busi-
ness, but he WAS voted "out Of order" and was
compelled to sit down, after Offering $500 to a
hotel enterprise.
1t was next moved to alter the town charter,
80 that it could build hall, and that was lost
The meeting, being unable to do anything on
the hall question, and spelling to do something,
finally resolved to afflict the town with seven
commissioners instead of four, and suggested
that tho 'poice" arrest the first man he finds
drank on the street, without process. This was
as near to the hall as could be got.

THE TRUTH ABOUT ITS PAsToRArE-REv. MR. MARSH
sTILL IN CHARGE OF THE FLOCK.
A contemporary announced, = day or two ago,
that Rev. Mr.. Maj sh had resigned the pastorate
Of the Elm Street Baptist Chapel, and that Rev.
o. +. Flippo, editor Of the Baptist Visitor, had
accepted it in his stead. Such an arrangement
was contemplated, and public announcement
was made OF it, but things have miscarried,
and Mr.. Marsh is still in charge or the flock.
His farewell sermon VAS not.preached, last eve
ming, and he will fill the pulpit tomorrow, a.
usual.
Mr.. Fiippo, It seems, had received calls from
two congregation. at the same time-At Waverly
Baptist Church in Baltimore. and the Elm street
chapel, this city. He partially consented to &c
cept the latter and all arrangements were
made for transfer of the pastorate to him.
Within day or two past, however, his mind
has undergone change, and he concluded to
accept the call to Baltimore, thus baking the
plans which were maturing at tho Elm Street
Chapel. Mr.. Fhppo went down to his new
charge to-day, and breaches his introductory
sermon tomorrow. Rev. Mr. Marsh will remain
where he now is, at least for the present.-S1t-

A meeting Of the Executive Committee Of the
Rehoboth Camp Meeting Association WAS to have
been held, yesterday, but q quorum was not
present and no business WIS transacted. An
other meeting is called for Saturday evening, at
u oclock.a at the parsonage Of st. Pauls church.
The Improvement Committee is also requested
to meet at the same hour and place.
1t is very probable that, at the next meeting.
q resolution will be adopted prohibiting the sale
Of any more lots until the ground is laid out.
Sometime between the first and middle of May
tho stockholders and purchasers will make &C.
lectons Of their lots after which the prices will
be Kraduated according to location. Applica-
tions for lots, in the meantime may be made and
will be fled, so that after the selections OF the
stockholders and purchasers have been ccm-
pleted, the applicants may have an opportunity
to make their choice in the order in which their
applications are received.
The sales thus far, aggregate about $50, 600,
leaving the Association about $40, 1000 with which
to make its improvements. This sum, it is be-
lieved will be about much as can be judicious.

The charter for the railroad from Lewes tc
Rehoboth Bay is in course Of passage through

to the question, '' Can butter be packed to
advantage in June or July for winter use ?" Miss
Craven was decidedly in favor Of packing butter

which should be worked into the butter and left
