PEACH CANNING.-Nothing in the way of
an industrial enterprise has developed more
rapidly THAI fruit canning, from the time it
was commenced, in Camden, eighteen years
ago, (lS55), when Richardson & Stetson can
ned the first fruit in boiler on cook stove,
up to the present time, wher perhaps million
dollars are employed in the business in this
State The Wilmington Commercial has sent
a reporter down the State to investigate the
business, and some interesting TACT are furnished
by him. The largest cannery is that of Collins
& Co., at Lebanon, near Camden; the next,
and by far the best appointed establishment is
Richardson & Robbins, at Dover; the next is
Stetson a. Ellison, of Camden, and the next is
j. NJ Chambers, of Dover. The following
tabular statement will the show main points in

THE CASE OF CLAwsON as. PRIMROSE =
A Decision Reached at LdSt.-FOr two years
and over a case of considerable interest has
been pending in the Court of Chancery for this
county, in which the question of ancient
lights" was involved. We refer to the suit of
Clawson VS.. Primrose, which was decided last
Thursday, at Dover, by decision in favor OF
the former We will state the question again,
to refresh the minds of our readers Mr. j.
IL. Primrose commenced the erection of shed
at the rear OF his store house, on Main st., this
town. The erection of the shed, however
would have closed up the window of Dr. j. f.
Clawson's sitting room, and that gentleman
sued out a writ of injunction restraining Mr.
T. from proceeding with the work. The case
was argued before the Court Of Chancery last
Fall by Fulton for the plaintiff and Massey for
the defence, but the Chancellor reserved his
decision until the present Fall term, held last
week, when perpetual injunction was granted
to the Doctor. The Chancellor delivered an
exhaustive opinion 10 the case. He defined it
as coming under the head of incorporeal
rights, as laid down in the common law of
England, upon which he based his decision.
He stated that the Colonial Legislature Of this
State, in l776, las we are iniOrmedl agreed to
accept the common law of England for its
governance, until other laws should be substitu-
ted that for this particular case, which was
the first ever brought before the State Courts,
no law had ever been provided and therefore
the common law of England must guide him
in his decision that that law provided that
where light and air had been admitted to a
dwelling from any quarter, uninterruptedly, for
period of twenty years and over, it could not
be shut Of, and that, under this ruling, the
Doctor was entitled to the light and air which
had so long been afforded him unnterruptedy
+ by his window, and he should therefore make
the injunction perpetual. This question Of
ancient lights has othered the courts o
every county in the old world. The question
now is, hasn't freehoder the right to erect
structure any where he pleases on his owr
freehold?

The BALTIMORE, CHESAPEAKE 4 DELA.
WARE r. R.-This railroad enterprise, to run
from some point on Kent Island, on the Chesa.
peake, and connect with the junction 4 Break
water r. r. at Harrington, is agan looming up.
The Baltimore American says: A gentleman
who has just returned from tour along the
line of the Baltimore, Chesapeke and Della.
ware Bay Railroad, states that there is full
corps of engineers at work on the line, aud
third in position among them is Howard POul'
son, ESQ, a youthful graduate of our Balti-
more City College, and son of the Rev. Thos.
L. Poulson. The right Of way thus far has
been freely given, and the grade is almost
wholly on the surface. X All travel and
trade from the Eastern Shore of Maryland aud
| Virginia and the southern part of Delaware
have by the present routes to centre at Har-
rington, the initial point of this road in Della
ware. From this point by the old or present
route they are one hundred and forty miles
| from Baltimore, while the route now to be
built by the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Della
ware Bay Railroad will reduce the distance to
Baltimore to sixty miles. The advantage OF
bringing Baltimore eighty miles nearer to such
tide of trade and travel is obvious. n
The company is prepared by arrangements to
run boats from Baltimore to Kent Island, and
frst-cIass ocean steamers from Lewes, Del, to
New York, for passengers and freight. From
| Harrington to Lewes Is thlrty-elght miles.
The Baltimore, Chesapeake and Delaware Bay
road will be the route by which the beautiful
Re hoboth Beach Seaside Camp Meeting ground
is to be reached, and as the road is to have
first class engines, passenger and freight cars
RehOboth Beach will probably become more
favorite seaside resort than any other in the
country
To this the Commercial adds In addition
to what is there stated, we are enabled TO say
upon the authority of gentleman who ha
seen the papers, that the road is under con
tract both for its construction and for the build
ing of its rolling stock. The engineers hav'
completed their surveys from Harrington, a
J far as Gseensborough, and nothing opposes al
) air line between these points. The course rul
is different from that of the Queenstown 4
, Harrington r. r., the road bed for which i
completed for a considerable distance.

A Struggle with a Devil Fish.

Mr.. Chas. H. Brainerd, of Boston, iii
writing to the Scientific American about
specimens Of the devil fish, relates this
interesting incident: The strength
which these creatures possess is almost
beyond Iesmprehension. as is evinced by
what took place when my pet was cap
tured. Hc had seized hold of subma-
rinc diver, at work in the wreck of a
sunken steamer off the coast of Florida.
The man was a powerful Irishman, who
claimed to weigh three hundred ponnds.
His size and build fully verified his state
ment, and, to use his own language, "the
bastc landed on top of my shoulders and
pinned my arms tight. ] felt my amor
and myself being cracked into a jelly"

Truth was lately published in Beyrout
and its circulation was at once forbidden,
and yet it is allowed circulation in Egypt.
In Damascus thereis Medjlis-ef-Mat.
arif, Moslem Court of Inquisition, which
includes most of the young Ulema of the
city. They have a president, secretary,
inspectors, &c. Their duty is to pre-
vent the circulation of books and doc
trines contrary to the received opinions
in fact, to make an Index Expurgato-
rious. Mahmoud Efendi: Hanna, the
finest scholar and gentleman in Damas-
Gus, refused the presidency, which has
lately been resigned by Mahmoud ell

is very active, and the correspondent of
the Levant Herald at Damascus COM
plains that some of its inspectors have

inhabitants glory in the dignity of dull
ness,-and occasionally grow excited over
discoveries 500 years old. It would be
interesting to observe the effect on Lon
don of q similar Court of Inquisition to
that which exists at Damascus. A hint
of its consequence is given in the pastor
al of the Roman Catholic Bishops, who
tell their fiocks that much of the litera-
ture of the times is unfit to be in their
homes. We are supposing, however,
that all classes we're represented in this
Court. In this case the institution
would, no doubt, but veto OIL the circu-
lation of many interesting novels that
now engross the attention of the youth
of this country to the exclusion of weigh
tier matters. The circulating libraries
would close their shutters, and society
be duller, but wiser, than it is at pre-
sent.

nas" The conduct Of England toward
criminals could be copied by America
with profit. Some time since four of our
tcliow-citizens, unable to get an honest
living in New York, sped to Europe,
and laid plans by which they hoped to
open the Bank of England as easily ms n
man may open an oyster and extract the
surprised bivalve. All went we'll until
they were caught. No New York
lawyers we're present to defend them,
and no New York jury to decide on
their case. Justice was evcn-handed,
and the sentence was imprisonment for
life. They know that in England the
words "for life" do not moan, rs here,
until new governor is elected, but "un-
til they are dead" Well, there are 9TH
cr spcculators in bank stock and coin
whom We could easily spare to English
justice and English prisons.

" diseased children, nor for the systematic
obstruction of medical men in their maladies
cat the bedside. It is no wonder, when the
" facilities for the study of infant hygiene
"and pathology are 80 scanty for physicians,
" that the general public should remain in
Ignorance, left to their inherited prejudices,
" or TO the assertions of presuming men and
women We have been censured for re-
ferring to Philadelphia charities as an exam
pie to New York, but we are forced to do
80 again, not in this instance or in any other
that our people are less helpful In intention
or lavish of their money in the effort to benefit
their needy fellow-creatures than our neigh
bors, but that the provldent, just, careful bent
of the Quaker mind enables them to so give
charity as best to economic the means and least
to degrade the recipient. In this case Phlla-
delphia is years in advance of US, having an
established, well-managed hospital for chill
dren, which has branch convalescent house
in the suburbs. In cooperation with this hos
pital was opened a Children's Home at Allan
tic City, last Summer, which has, we learn,
been more than supported by the contrlbu-
tions from the visitors at that place. Now,
the advantages of such o plan as this
are apparent. The Summer Hospital is not
fungus sort of growth, the support and ex-
;stence of which depend upon temporary
excited state Of feeling produced year by
year, but an enlargement at given time OF
an already existing institution. Should the
Children's Hospital be established, as we hope
it will be before next Summer, its little
patients can with slight increase of cost be
transposed to country or seaside quarters;
its corps of physicians and nurses can thus
become authorized agents for receiving any
teething or otherwise ailing children, or for
obtaining board for them and their mothers
out of town. There are very few OF our
wealthy citizens who would not be glad to
pay the expenses of sick baby and Its
mother; but the question heretofore has been
where to send them and how. This plan will
relieve the donors of all trouble and per-
plexity, which usually are given far less WILL
ingly than money.
