not sit too tightly upon him, and yet cautiously,

easily cast them aside. The exact proportion OF
physical and intellectual strength should be

other words, the disease toward which tenden-

PhOcMixvt1le Working Men IN their
Movement for PrOieCtiOM.

The PhnniSville correspondent to the Potts
town ledger says The Workingmen's Prutec-
tive Association have decided to purchase their
goods from Samuel Kreamer 4 Son. this firm
having made the Association all offer to furnish
them dry goods and groceries at 10 per cent. adj
vance on Wholesale prices. The Association
will also have Mr.. Raber to furnish them beef in
the market on Saturday morning next. We uu-
derstand the modus Operdndi to procure beef at
the reduced rate offered by Mr.. Raber is to JON
the Association, and approach the beef vender
with a certificate of membership, and in no 9TH
or manner can beef be procured from the Work
ingmen's butcher. We doubt not the Assoca-
course should be pursued, but we cannot but
ifssthey would allow any person with the cash
IN hand, to purchase any quantity, OF meat
they were willing to pay for. Ii we un-
derstand the object of the Association. it is to
reduce the cost of living, and if this can only be
accomplished by becoming a part Of "a combina-
ton, agreeing thereby to purchase only from
certain parties, there will be found many good
men who will continue to buy inst where they
will find that which suits them best in quality,
without regard to price, and hence keeping the
market price just about where it at pres
ent is. Let any one, We repeat, with the cash
in hand, be permitted to purchase of the work
ingmans butcher and we prophecy reduction
in that staple article of COW beef in less than
two weeks. Make the sale of good meat, at 10
and Is cents per pound, general and do not lin
it the number of purchasers, and our word for
it, the goal will be reached in one-half the time

OPERATIONS OF MARCY FOUNTAIN IN WILMINGTON
THE SON OF THE NOTORIOUS sLAvE-TRApER IN
THE CLUTCHES OF THE LAW.
On Saturday last Marcy Fountain, son Of the
notorious slave-trading Marcy, of Bridgetown,
Caroline county, Nd, came to this city from
Baltimore and in the evening opened an auction
sale Of watches in Fourth street. Among his
patrons was James Marshall, who bought ''solid
gold watch" for $40. The watch WAS very pretty
to look upon and bore every appearance Of the
precious metal. but TO settle all misgiy.
ings in his own mind the purchaser
expended an extra dollar in having the cases
tested by downtown jeweler, who pre-
nounced them and the rims brass, with little
Fountsin with the watch, who refused to refund
prove to be anythingielse.than what it was repre-
scented, saying it would ruin his business, and
then recourse to law was had. Between II and
IL O'Clock, Esq. Hagany was invited to take hold
of the case and late as was the hour he issued y
warrant for the arrest Of Fountain, who was
found by Constable Woodward at the depot near
midnight, waiting for the train south.
The watch vender was then taken before the
Esq who had issued the warrant, but owing TO
the lateness of the hour he declined to hear the
case that night, and required of Mr. Fountain
that he give bail in $500 for his appearance, this
morning. Feeling that this was somewhat diff
cult to do and with no relish for the prospect Of
Sabbath in the city cells, Fountain disgorg-
ed and paid the costs, after which he
went on his way rejoicing that he had escaped
a similar trouble with others who had bought
his 'solid gold Watches"

But very little capital is needed for the start
ing of grove, and the rewards of a successful
one are very great. Oranges sell at from !25 To
:6s per thousand in Jacksonville, and are readily
transportable to any OF the Atlantic seaports.
When the necessary dredging and building OF
canals has been accomplished, so that the Indian
river may have an outlet via the st. Johns, the
North will be supplied with oranges of more del
icate texture than it has yet seen; and the num-
Der of groves along the river will be legion.
The fitness Of Florida for the growth OF trop-
ical and semi-tropical fruits is astonishing. Not
only do the orange, the lemon, the lime and the
citron flourish there, but the peach, the grape,
the fig, the pomegranate, the plum, all varieties
OF berries, the olive, the banana, and the pine
apple, grow luxuriantly. Black Hamburg and
white Muscat grapes fruit finely in the open air
the Concord and the Scnppernong are grown iii
vast quantities. The gnava, the tamarind, the
wonderful alligator-pear the plsntain, the Cocoa
nut and the date, the almond and the pecan,

THE FIRST PRoDucT-coMMENcEMENT OF ACTIVE
OPERATIONS ON wEDNEsDAY-THEn FACI' trrEs,
IMPORTANCE TO NEW CASTLE, ETC.
Correspondence OF the Commercially
NEW CASTLE, Nov. 8.
The most important event that has happened
in the town Of New Castle, in spite OF its an
cient laws and the well known subdued at
mosphere that pervades the town, took place at
ten minutes Of two o'clock on Saturday, October
3lst, 1874. On that day the first product of the
Tasker works was turned out-.a three inch tube
which will be nickel plated and cut up into
fragments for preservation as mementoes Of the
event. Yesterday active operations were begun
in the works, and employment was afforded to
about two hundred and sixty men.
Ths .TAakar Iran Worka- v xhich- -up tn AhaA
time, were looked on as an experiment aud view
cd with some disnust, (other improvements
having been failure) then proved themselves a
perfect success. After all expenditure Of about
six hundred Thousand dollars, and the constant,
unceasing thought of the managers of the
Works it can be said to-day that the State of
Delaware, and the town Of New CASTLE has the
privilege of claiming for her own the entire
monopoly Of the Boiler Tube business Of the
Eastern and Southern States,
With a consumption of over one hundred
thousand tons Of coal, and twice that quantity
OF iron per year, with works that cannot stop
night nor day, with production fully equal to
the ultimate prosperity OF our town With all
our facilities, land aud water can the town re-
main az it ,as been ?
The works are now success, and the
machinery is of the most perfect kind the
buildings are the largest and most expensive in
this Or any other State and the facilities for
trAnsacting business, are equalled by none.
They have their own telegraph between New
Castle and Phladelphis, their own railroad
from the station to the works, their own loco
motive TO forward freight with dispatch, their
own tusA and bargos to meet all the demands
that trade may require Of them. We have in
Messrs. Morris, Tasker & Co. the combined i'm
provements OF the age, and we also have the
guaranty from their action heretofore that they
are fully able to keep up with the times.
Let all our citizens take al interest now in the
future of the town let our capitalists employ
their money in providing for the wants of the
necessary increase of population, and we can
guarantee that In a few years that Now Castle
instead of being 'Out Of the Hurlo Bury." the
resort of the lazy and indolent will be the
synonym of Enterprise and Progress and will
be looked on with pride aud quoted as to what
Energy and Perseverance can do.

The ElecttOns-Thc Look Ahead.


There is yet time to prevent still more crush
ing blow in 1876 but to do that will tax the COM
bned efforts of the best minds in the Republi-
can Party. The opposition will now have an
opportunity of producing policy Of their own.
and they will find it harder to do that success
fully than to attack the measures of Republicans
We shall probably witness the development Of
the ideas which were put forward in the plat
forms of Ohio and Indiana, and the effect Of
that Upon our entire financial system cannot
fail to be very great. The West and South al
ways controlled the Democratic par
ty, and they will continue to
control it. What these sections of the country
demand now is initiation, combined with par
tal reputation. Whether the people will de-
liberately approve Of that policy when it is sub
mitted to them without any disguise still remains
to be ascertained. When we soc the great City
Of New York deliberately voting to be put back
under the rule of Tammany, it must be admitted
that even the cause of common honesty does not
appear to be highly popular. We probably have
before us a stormy era, in which questions which
the people imagined we're finally settled will be
dealt with anew and IN way calculated to surprise
the world. The legislation which has been carried
out since the war, on questions Of finance, re-
construction, and the negro. and the constitu-
tional amendments OF the same period, are not
beyond the reach Of Democratic majority in
Congress and the country. The history Of the
rebellion and its consequences is by no means
completed. For the sake of the country, it is to
be hoped that the Democrats will use their VIC
tory in spirit of moderation and prudent states
mauship.

Good Recipe for Curing Meat.

The following recipe is from the editor OF the
Germanto,cn Telegraph, who recommends ii af-
ter many years trial 1t will be useful to our
readers, at this season OF the year.
To one gallon OF water, take ~ lhs. Of salt
}3tb. sugar, s4oz. saltpeter, 1aoz. potash. In
this rate the pickle can be increased TO any
quantity desired. Let these be boiled to-
gether until the dirt from the sugar rises to
the top and is SKINNED of. Then throw it in
to tub to cool, and when cold, pour it over
your beef or pork, to remain the usual time say
four or five weeks The meat must be well
covered with pickle, and should not be put down
for at least two days after killing, during which
time it should be slightly sprinkled with pow
dered saltpetre, which removes all the surface
blood, ETC., leaving the meat fresh and clean.
Some omit boiling the pickle and find it to an
swer well, though the operation Of boiling puri-
ties the pickle by throwing on the dirt always to
be found in salt and sugar
