On the 18th instant, the house of VIM.
G. Perkins, near Mount Pleasant, alias
Vinegar Hill, was consumed by fire; the
fire was caused by defect in the chimney:
the wind was blowing strong at the time.
The building was a frame and consequently
burned very fast, but notwithstanding they
succeeded in saving most of the furniture.
We learn that it was insured for $500.
VIM. Bailey fell from the large barn
being built by S. J. & NJ. Ann More. We
learn that he was badly hurt.
Our farmers are in the midst of haying: a
pretty fair crop. The prospect for wheat
is good. If the Editor had heightened his

Dam Builder.-Francis Green has con-

near their brewery on the Brandywine.
Mr.. Green is celebrated for the excellence
of his work and is more widely employed
than any other man in this kind of work.
He has recently returned from visit to
Fall river, Massachusetts,, the scene of the
recent disaster, and expects to receive the
contract to rebuild one of the dams. We
wish that he may prove successful in the
matter as we fully believe that he will give
full satisfaction.-DeLarare Republican.

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. Cresvell's resignation surprised all
parties. Cecil's gifted son, he has alike
been the pride of his native State, and the
ahlest member of President Grants Cabinet.
No man has been more violently assailed as
apublic officer, and no man has more speed
lily and effectively repealed wrong assault,
coming from whatever quarter it might
and to day he stands out as one of the
most prominent of our public men, and
retires from office with the thanks not only
of his Chief, but of the whole nation for
his fearless and successful stand against
the franking abuse. Indeed in every
branch of his department correcting error
and wrong wherever found, he stands sec.
ond to none among the long line of able
statesmen who have filled the position of
Postmaster General, from Franklin down;
and well may Gen. Grant wish that he may
find his equal. But whether he re.ires to
private life or again fills some position to
which the wants of the Government or
people are sure to call him, sooner or later,
may he meet with the same approval as he
has done as Postmaster General.

Something to Please the Children

Something to Please the Children
Mr. o. NJ. May of Wisconsin, gave an illus
trated lecture in the Presbyterian Chapel,
on Monday evening, designed more par
ticularly for the Sunday school children,
but was full of interest, also, for the adults
The lecture was on the ancient history of
Egypt, particularly that part of it con-
nectsd with the captivity of the children
of Israel. Many of the most remarkable
incidents in the Bible and the ruins of
ancient Egypt were shown on the canvas,
by the sciopticon, or the improved magic
lantern, which the lecturer explained in a
brief and plain way so that the children
might readily comprehend. The fragmen-
tary story of the ancient country of the
Nile, with the pictures of stupendeus ruins,
dating back two and three thousand years
before the Christian era, together with the
most remarkable scenes and events in the
history of Gods chosen people, had more
interest for the adults than the children,
who were more in terested with flower
scenes and an immense Bengal tiger, than
the historical representations. Children
are children in thought as we'll as in years,
and the wonders of the worlds history
does net excite their interest so much as
simple scenes which nature adapts to the
tastes and feelings of their developing
minds.
The lecture confined to Egypt, more
amplitied and embracing the recent dis
coveries among the ruins of that most
ancient home of the arts, sciences and
civilization, would prove very interesting
to mature minds and students of history.

and benedction by Rev. Joseph Miller.
EVENING SESSION.
AT the evening session a large and deep
" interested audience was present. A
lecture was delivered by Rev. Mr.. Fulton
on the Bible as Gods instrument for the
destruction of sin; the smile used was the
sword of the spirit, and it was enriched
with copious historical illustrations The
Convention gave an impetuous to the Sun

A GeoD MovE The Mechanics Of
Bolivar, or at least goodly number of
them, having q working organization, are
going to establish, under the auspices
of their Union, a mechanics library-the
identical thing which Bolivar needs. At
their meeting last Saturday night reso-
luton to this effect was unanimously
passed, and the Union earnestly desires
the encouragement Of all our citizens.
The fimsy idea entertained by some that
the mechanics were organizing for the
purpose of fixing list of prices is scarce
ly worthy of notice, as no such intention
ever entered the heads of the prime
movers in the organization. But the
mechanics do propose, through the medi-
UNI of their Union to advance their in
terests in many ways-tO sustain, assist
support and encourage, not only each
other, but everything and everybody

ty and improvement of our town and

WHAT DID IT MEAN Last Tuesday
night it was evident to close observers
that number of negroes were anxious
to proc ure PISTOLS, knives, ammunition
etc. What did it mean2 Why, just
this, and nothing more During the day
several colored men, half crazy from the
effects of mean whiskey, got into trouble
with the poli9e officers, and anticipating
a continued enforcement of the laws,
foolishly set to work arming themselves.
Without further explanation, we want
to say to the colored people who resort TO
such measures that they are heaping
Goals of fire on their own heads; that
they cannot do this thing without It's
coming to the ears Of the officers Of the
law, and they are certain to get the worst
of all such movements When white
men are compelled to submit to State
and municipal law, negroes should new
er attempt to ride rough shod over the
same restrictions. We say this for the
cOlored mans own good.
