FORMAL OPENING OF THE NEW BUILDING ON TUEs-
DAY.
The new building erected by voluntary sub
scription, for colored school, at Middetown,
was formally opened on Tuesday, in accordance
with previous arrangement. Invitations had
been sent to quite number Of persons in and
about Mddletown, including the ministers of
the gospel, as we'll to others ut a distance, and
letters of regret, expressing sympathy with the
work of colored education, were read from Bish-
and Howard Nj. Jenkins. The company present,
however, included no white persons except Rev.
Fielder Israel and Mr.. Thomas Worrell, OF this
city, and Mrs. Mcclure, of Middleton.
The exercises were opened by prayer, and
Rev. Mr.. Israel then made an earnest and touch
ing address, referring to the great need OF edu-
cation in the State, and regretting that more
general interest in the work was not manifested.
The courageous efforts of Miss Kruse, the teach
or of the school, by whose earnest labors the
building has been erected were alluded to in
terms Of deserved praise.
The new building is of frame, two stories high,

collected on Tuesday at the dedication. Miss

the needed sum, and is still at work in the
cause. From her friends in New England she
obtained considerable help, and some has been

Obituary.
DEATH OF WILLIAM ooupER.


A brief telegram, received late on Wednesday
afternoon, and printed, to-day, upon our inside
pages among the matter brought forward from
our late editions of Wednesday, communicated
the death of Mr.. William Couper of New Castle,
which had occurred only short time previous,
from the effects of an apoplectic stroke. Mr..
time, and although feeling unwell was
in the discharge of his duty until the very mo-
ment Of his prostration. Excusing himself for
few moments, he started to go into the open
air but in passing along the hall which leads
from the Grand Jury room his unsteady
step was noticed by u brother member,
who went to his assistance and supported him to
Mr. Challengers drug store, where the attack
fully developed itself and from whence he was
removed on eettee to his own home, only to
expire in an hour or 80 after reaching it, or
about o'clock. Drs. Black and Maxwell were
early in attendance, but unable to avert the dis
solution, which was apparent soon after the at
tack. On the day proceeding his death Mr..
Couper was 30 unwell that he excused himself
from duty altogether.
Mr.. Couper was about 65 years of age. His
life had been a long and useful one. He was born
near Christians in this county, and wass
time cashier of the Farmers Bank at New Gas
tie. The late DIR. James Couper, learned and
much esteemed physician, who died a few years
ago OF the same disease, was brother.
and amassed quite handsome fortune. At one
time he was engaged in trade in China, but some
25 or 80 years ago he returned to this county
and settled in New Castle, where by his benevo-
lence, which was always unostentatious, and Of
tentlmes performed without the knowledge OF
any besides the object of his charity, he became
well known. His circle OF friends and acquaint-
ances extended throughout the country, and
there was probably no man in it better known
or more universally esteemed OF late years
Mr.. Couper has been Lying in retirement, ocou.
pyng as his residence the home of the late John
M. Clayton when citizen of New Castle.
MIR. Couper was gentleman OF considerable
information, an attentive reader, and fine French
scholar. His travel had afforded him excellent
opportunities of observation, which he improved
with profit to himself, and which in after year,
became a joy in recollection and useful in the
affairs OF life.

the deceased In New Castle.

TWO MINOR CASES DISPOSED oF-apEEoH OF PRIs-
oNRR-DRAwISe THE WOODWARD JURY.
NEW CASTLE, Nov. "a.
Court re-assembled, this morning at 10 O'Clock
Judges Wooten, Houston and Wales on the
bench. The Grand Jury list was called and they

and additional Juty list we're then called.
The first case was that of State VS.. William
Thomas, assault with intent to kill John p. Coch-
ran on the 8th of November, 1870. 1t appears
that the prisoner on the day of the general Elec-
ton, Nov. 8, 1870 during conflict between
whites and negroes at the Middletown pells,
struck Mr. John P. Coch. with a club, knock
ing him down cutting open his ear and bruising
his head.
The Prisoner made speech to the Jury, sta
ting that if he struck MIR. Cochran it WAS acoi-
dental; that he did go to the election to have a
fight, but when he was jumped on he forgot Co
get out He severely criticised the action of
men who we're 6he leaders, getting the ignorant
colored people to do their dirty work and then
when the trouble came, these leading men
sported around and let the colored people suffer
He charged that these leaders knew there was
going to be fight and at meeting at Monnt
Pleasant they advised the colored people to fight.
II they were the friends of the colored peo-
pie they should now put in an appearance. Jury

The Trenton POtters-The Men Will
Not Agree TO a Compromise.

Another large meeting of the Tren-
ton IN. J.) potters was held on Wednes-
day night to oppose the reduction of
wages. A committee Of fifteen was appointed,
representing all the different branches of the
trade, to meet the bosses to consult about the
reduction. The resolutions declare that the
present price is reduction Of five per cent. upon
the scale paid before the rebellion, that although
the tariff has been raised to high point, they
have received little or no benefit, and that, in
fact, they receive less wages than they did under
low tariff.
They say they are unwilling to make any
IN ther sacrifices, aud if reduction is insisted
upon they will regard it as a proof and an
acknowledgement that high tariff means
monopoly and low wages, and low tariff COM
petition and high wages. They charge that
there is combination with British importers
and the American manufacturers to 30 manipulate
the tariff at Washington as to inure to their
mutual advantage by reducing the wages Of the
American workmen twenty per cent and then
distribute it between them. Several strong
speeches were made, and great deal of deter
minatlon manifested.

The meeting will to be held in Wilmington
next month will make creitable showing, we
doubt not. The publishers will be awake to the
Importance of the movement by that time. =
There is a"community of interest among the
publishers of the peninsula, as there is among the
members OF other kinds of business which may
bs managed better by concert of action than by
individual effort. Therefore let us us put our
heads together once or twice years and see
what we can accomplish, not merely in our ex-
elusive line of duty but for the section in
which we live, move and have our being.
[From the Denton Unionl
The most sensible movement made for years
past was that made last week by the editors and
publishers of this Peninsula at Salisbury, in the
formation Of press association.
The recent step, we hope,is but the beginning
of brighter era in the future of peninsular
journalism, and now that the association has
been ofiicered and launched forth upon the "tide
Of time" will bring order out of chaos and pro-
duce lasting and beneficial results to those
whose interests are Immediately affected.
