Ready Money.

Ready money is an. excellent thing to
have on hand; no matter if it is only a
little sum- If it is only sufficient to
meet the current expenses, it is a great
convenience, to say the least. Any one
who has tried and compared the credit
with the cash system will readily admit
the correctness of the above remark.
When you buy for cash you generally get
things cheaper-get better weight and
measure, and all the favors the dealer can
extend to his patrons. On the chronic
credit system, the matter is usually re-
versed If you try to avoid credit by
borrowing, you improve matters very lit
tie, if any. Hence we give this advice:
Turn an honest penny" whenever you
can, and always have sufficient money on
hand to meet your small engagements.

Enclosed Docks and Warehouses for
PhiiadeIpbia.

The following announcement Of movement
in contemplation appears in the Philadelphia let
ter of the Germantown Telegraph
ga powerful company has just been organized
but has not yet publicly appeared in print,
which proposes TO build great inclosed docks and
warehouses on the Delaware River front of the
First Ward, below the navy-yard. Although no
details are as yet settled, it is certain that the
capital has all been raised, and that it is pro-
posed to build wooden docks in preference to
stone ones, on the score of economy, as well as
because many of the Philadelphia merchants
prefer wood to stone in docks and pier fronts.
Steamship and canal lines, have monopolzed
the old wharyes aDd docks to such an extent
that sailing vessels and transient steamers
find space really scarce. The criticism usually
passed upon the main central commercial front,
on account of the scarcity of square-rgged yes
sells there, il d stupid one as there is actually no
room there for loading and unloading, and the
vessels are now too large to swing around in the
narrow space between the city and the island
without striking passing vessel. In winter the
floating ice renders it extremely dangerous to he
there, as the docks are not long enough. In
fact the two great commercial wants of our city
are and have been large inclosed docks AMI am
pie warehouse accommodations for the storage
and shipment of law products. President
Thompson, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, rec
ognized this, but was too slow in his movements
to provide remedy"

COMMUNICATION WITH cRfsFIELD VIA THE DEL. II.
r. ONCE MORE BRoKEN-REvIvAL OF THE OLD
rRouBIEs-THEIR NATURE, &o.
The Annamessex Line of Steamers, which has
been plying between Crisheld and Norfolk, and
by means OF which line OF communication has
been maintained between the North and South,
yia.the Delaware r. r. has been Withdrawn and
link in the Seaboard route broken. 1t is hoped
that the difficulties will be only short-liyed, but
there is no present prospect OF an early ADJUST
ment.
This last interruption is due, we learn, to the
same causes which led to the withdrawal OF the
steamers a short time ago. As we understand
the matter, and our information is from source
which we deem well-informed, the whole difficult
ty rests with the. railroads south OF Norfolk,
but which centre in that city. 1t seems that they
cannot agree among themselves as to through
freight rates. and some, we are told, refuse TO
pro rate at all. Some are favorable to the Girls
field route others are represented to be doing
all they eau TO break it down and destroy It,
The opposition allege, we understand, that
freight can be transported more cheaply via
steamer to Canton, at Baltimore, and thence by
the p. W. & b. II. r., to the North, which is not
denied, but the time consumed in such transit is
about three hours longer than via Crisheld and
the Delaware II. II.
This opposition to the Amnamessex Line has
caused Mr.. Clyde, the owner, we are told, to
put on slower boats with insufficient passenger
accommodations, 30 that it seems the contest
has resolved itself into sort of triangular
struggle, during the continuance OF which the
operation of the line ceases and trade hows
through Baltimore, thus giving temporary
success to the opposition to the Delaware route.
1t is greatly TO be hoped that the troubles
will be soon adjusted, aud that we shall witness
the--revival of the through express line over the
Del Il. II. which WAS opened soon after the close
of the war

OPERATIONS OF MARCY FOUNTAIN IN WILMINGTON
THE BON OF THE NOTORIOUS sLAyE-TRADER IN
THE CLUTCHES OF THE LAW.
"a On Saturday last, Marcy Fountain, son OF the
notorious slave-trading Marcy, of Brdgetown,
Caroline county, Md, 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 800. The watch was very pretty
to look upon and bore every appearance of the
precious metal but to settle all miHgiv-
ings in his own mind the purchaser
expended an extra dollar in having the cases
tested by downtown jeweller, who pro-
nouneed them and the rims brass, w.h II little
gold mixed in. Mr.. Marshall then went back to
Fountain with the watch, who refused to refund
prove to be anythingielse. than what it was repre-
then recourse to law was had. Between IL and
10 o'clock, Esq. Hagany was invited to take hold
OF the case and late as was the hour he issued a
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 aud 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
a Sabbath in the city cells, Fountain diagorg-
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"

HE RUNS AWAY WITH THE CHURCH FUNDS AND
PRETTY oRaANIsr.
The Philadelphia Ledger of Saturday says that
quite stir has been created among the German
Catholics of Philadelphia by the sudden disap-
pearance of the Rev. John W. Gerdemann, pas
tor of 81. Bonifacius Church on Norris Square,
and the simultaneous dispearance OF Protes-
tant young lady, whose parents live in heading
and who was .organist OF the church. Inc church
edifice ON the south side of Norris Square, OF
which Father Gerdemann was pastor il one of
the most beautiful Gothic buildings in the CITY,
and hascost in the neghborhood of two hundred
thousand dollars. There was also sort OF
saving fund connected with the parish and un-
der the control of the pastor, in which the mem
bers of the church deposited their savings for
safe keeping, the pastor being the custodian of
the money. On Wednesday Father Gerdemann
disappeared and OIL Thursday the Right Rev.
Bishop Wood received letter from him. stating
that the reason he had left the Catholic Church
that he could not believe in the infallibility
of the Pope, and saying, 'By the time you read
this you will know all about me, and therefore
have no need to make an explanation" lie
also said that his debts had overwhelmed him,
and other like expressions.
Father Gerdemann il native of Selcnte, near
Munster, in Westphaa. In 1862 desiring to
supply the increasing missions OF the German
Catholics of this diocese, the Right Rev. Bishop
Wood visited Munster for the purpose of OBJ
tanning subjects for his seminary. Amongst
others Mr.. Gerdeman offered himself and was
accepted. After his ordination he was chosen
on account of his zeal and ability to build the
Church of st. Bonifacius, in the northern por'
ton of the city for the convenience Of the Ger
man Catholics residing there. He labored earn
estly in the prosecution OF the work and the
result of his exertions was the erection of the
present beautiful Gothic edifce. In the build
ing Of the church he incurred large debt
aided from time to time by liberal assistance Oh
the part of the Bishop from deposits in his saw
ing fund.
What the amount of this debt is it is mpossi
Die at this time to estimate, nor is it yet know
whether a large or small sum was carried off
