John Appleton, ESQ, of Odessa, who has
been suffering from almost total blindness, |
recently underwent painful surgical operation
for the removal of cataract, at the hands OF
Prof. Agnew, in Philadelphia, and now has a
good prospect of recovery. His sight is
gradually strengthening. He is now on visit
to his relatives in this town.
In report Of the meeting ofthe Good Temp
lars Association Of Kent county, held in the
| NJ. f. Church. at Magnolia on the 18th ult,
we see it stated that one of the decorations OF
the room was black jug hung by the neck,
from the centre of the ceiling. Seems to us

The Messrs. Tasker & Co. have expended
about 5000 900 on their works at New Castle.

put on large force of men, and press forward
their various works to an early completion
At the present time they are employing over a
thousand men at their establishment in Phila-
dephia.
Among the elders of Shaker settlement at

He lett here frail in frame and moody in tenn
permanent.
In Dover the roughs kick up rows and beat
the police if they come fussing around. The
town fathers sustain the rioters or at least
they don't try to restrain them, which is
about the same thing. Under such circum
stances the police have every inducement tC
keep out of bad company. The Deld,Cdred1
can't see what use they can be-they Dor or
dinences either.

The Philadelphia Sunday Murcmy thus i
re reverently speaks OF q young Methodist mil
