Punishment and Representation d,
Delaware.

from the washington tnluhclc.l
We most sincerely wish the State of Delaware
would fluid somo other satisfactory mode than
the whipping-post for the punishment Of re-
ffactory Inhabitants of that ancient and respected
/ commonwealth. Although small in territorial
dimensions, population, and aggregate compare
tive wealth, Delaware las always been greatly
respected State-a respect secured,
no doubt, in large degree, by the
care manifested in the selection of her repre-
| sentative men sent to the national capital. The
State is always well represented, and has fur
nished fair proportion of the illustrons names
which embelllsh the pages of onr conntry's his
tory as members Of the House, Senators, Cabi-
net Ministers, and representatives of the Ma
tiona Government abroad. We cannot believe
the people Of such State are UNNECESSARILY
behind their neighbors in the development OF
the finer sensibili:ies as to justify this british
mode of Furnishing offenders, nay worse than
british, according to modern ideas of refine
ment, for cruelty to brutes is now prohibited by
law in nearly all the States Of the Union.

The full bench Of Judges in the District of
clded that the late Grand Jury, which indicted
the Sa'e-buIglars. was illegally chosen and that,
therefore, the safe-burglary trial and all others
under indictments found by that Grand Jury are

GOOD TEMPLARs' FEsTIvAL.-
The entertainment given by the
Good Templars', at the Court Room,
in Potter's block, last Friday even
ing, was n very pleasant affair, and
gave general satisfaction. The at
tendance was large, and the many
delicacies were served up in ele-
giant style, which were duly appre-
ciated. All present enjoyed them
selves hugely over the trial of the
bachelor for "breach of promise"
and he, never failing to appreciate
q good joke, considered it q capital
stake Off" After the supper, the
crowd were entertained by speak
crs for time, and when they left
for their homes, not one regretted
being present. May we be favored
with more of this kind of enter
tainments.

FIRE.-Between eight and nine
o'clock Sunday night, the residence
of Frederick BLOW, on Mill street,
north side, was discovered to be on
fire, the flames originating in the
second story. The flames spread
with such rapidity that but little
could be saved from the upper sto-
ry, but the goods in the other por-
ton of the house were saved, though
considerably damaged. The fire
department was unable to render
assistance, owing to the great dis
lance from the engine house, and
the building was entirely destroyed.
The house was valued at about
81, 400, and was insured for $500.
The household goods were insured
for $500.

The Coming Season.

The coming season promises to
be lively one in this section. Ev-
cry preparation is being made to
push business to its fullest extent
at the mills, and there is every in
dication of a good demand for the
lumber already on the docks and
for that to I've manufactured.
While this is the case with the
business already established, we feel
confident that l. another branch is
about to be added, which will great
" increase our city generally. The
salt well at Richardson, Avery g.
Co.'S mill has been sunk to the depth
of eleven hundred and seventy feet,
and good, strong brine is found,
which will no doubt prove to be in
sufficient quantities to pay well.
And should this prove a success,
and no one doubts it, there will i'm
mediatcly be pnt in operation the
necessary machinery for the boring
of several more salt wells, among
which, we are informed, will be that
of Hough, billiard 81 CO., L. w.
Gilchrist, J. S. Minor and others.
And We have every indication that
the salt business win soon be one
of Alpcna's most fiourishing
branches of industry.
We learn, also, that during the
coming season several new and cle-
giant business houses will be erected
in different parts of the city, and
that the building of residences will
not fall short Of that of tho last sea
son.
