In the chair and Geo. H Brown secretary.
The committee which was appointed TO prepare
. bill winch shall embody the ends desired re-
ported that . conference had been held with
Chas b Lore, Esq, as directed, and then gave
some idea Of Mr.. Lore's views about the present
law, representing him ~ saying that there WAS
already nearly law enough to protect farmers
from trespass, but that chapter 128 section 20,
OF the new code, was unconstitutional in that
made trespass misdemeAnor, punishable by q
Justice OF the Peace, while the Constitution of
ton over misdemeAnors. To keep it under the
1urisdiction Of Magistrates it should be consti-

The committee then reported bill, Of which
the following ia synopsis Every constable or
conservator Of the peace, the owner or occu-
pant Of farms, their sgents or employees, or any
other persons whom they may call upon for as
lsstance, IL authorized to arrest ali tresspsssers

quired not furnished the offender shall be im-

John Bradford thought the bill not strong
enough that the farmers should be allowed to
use fire arms that he had been threatened by

Help for the Poor.

An EXPLANATION OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT AZ
TAIR-oNLY VOLUNTARY OFFERING BY TIE EN-
EMPLOYEES TO CHARITABLE PURPOSE.
The burden Of Mr.. Burke's complaint before
Council on Thursday night last, was that per
cent, WAS being deducted from the wages Of the
employees of the Water Department, thereby
creating the impression that this amount was
wrongfully withheld by some superior officer for
> purpose not stated. The whole thing how
ever, dwindles into insignificance in the light Of
the knowledge OF certain papers in possession of
the officers Of the Department, and exhonerates
them from all taints Of suspicion Of unfeirness
towards those under them. One, and the prin-
cipal, Of these papers is an agreement among
certain Of the officers and employees, donating
per cent Of their wages to the Union Aid So
ciety, and reads ~ follows
WILMNaToN, DEL, Dec Is. 1874.
The undersigned employees of this depart
ment hereby agree to give TO your Association
this winter, five per cent. of their weekly wage,
for the benefit Of the poor Of this city, com
mencng December 25th, 1874, payable weekly
1 at this office.
The names appended to the agreement are
Joseph Hyde, Chas. Burton, Jr., W. W. Wilson,

THE PETITION ASKING STATE AID FOB IT'S COMPILE


~"As AnAAAAoS AoAASso pihlE ALI run COAfLk
| TOS.
The following is a copy Of the petitions now
being extensively signed asking that the State
aid the Wilmington Il Western r r., In the
same manner ~ was done with the Junction Il
Breakwater, and Georgetown K Frankford roads.
One OF the petitions was presented by Mr. Bald
win, OF the House, on Thursday signed by 222
or our largest Taxpayers. and most substantial
busines men -
"Tlie petition Of the undersigned citizens of
New Castle County, respectfully showeth
THAT at the session OF 1855, the Legislature OF
Delaware granted aid towards the completion of
the Junction and Breakwater Rail Road, by loan
ing the Bonds OF the State to said Rail Road Com
pany for the amount Of 100000, declining at
the same session to grant smaller amount OF
ike AID, then asked fol, towards the construction
OF Nail Road westward from the City Of Will
mnSton.
THAT the citizens OF New Castle county being
at that time denied said aid, raised on their own
behalf q cash stock subscription Of &250, 900, to
grade and bridge the main portion Of the line
proposed, called The Wilmington and Western
Rail Road, and On THAT bAsis noid bonds to the
amount Of &5OO, 900, which were largely bought
by our own citizens I; thus furnishing means Tor
the construction OF the first main link of said
rail road, now running 20 miles in length through
billy country, involving large outlay.
THAT after this landabe effort, ~ we con-
ceive to complete by their own means this i'm
portant work they have been unable through
the consequences Of the great financial revul-
sion to perfect their line Of railroad and secure
to the industrial interests OF the State the ad-
vsntsges confidently expected from tho compile
ton OF their connection with the new lines OF
railroad in south eastern Pennsylvania.
That while they still believe they can raise
stock subscriptions sufficient to grade and bridge
the much needed extension and branches, tAey
nevertheless feel lassured that further bonds,
based upon the addition to said line Of Railroad
cannot now be disposed of without ruinous sac
ritice.
=" That We confidently believe that the COM
pletion of the proposed additions and extern
sons TO said line will conduce largely to tho in
terests OF our citizens and Of our whole Penin-
sular Railroad system, will increase taxable val
ue and nure in many ways to the financial abili-
ty Of our State.
"We therefore confidently petition your Hon
orable Bodies to authorize the State Treasurer
10 loan to the said Wilmington and Western Rail
Road Company the Bonds of the State to mod
Drate amount sufficient to aid in the purchase of
ron and ties, in full confidence that tho said
Company in some suitable way, to be devised by
you, can fully guarantee the State Treasurer
against any ultimate loss to result from the az
,istAnce rendered"

Whoever has lifted the curtains of boys al
coyes, soon after their inmates have gone to
bed, and has looked lovingly in, has seen a
pretty sight. Generally their faces are lying
most rsstfully, with hand under cheek, and in
many cases look strangely younger than whom
awake, and often very infsntile, as il some trick
of older expression which they had been taught
to wear by day had been dropped the moment
the young ambitious will hsd lost control. The
lids lie shut over bright, busy eyes the air is
gently and evenly famed by coming and going
breatlis ; there is a little crooked mound in the
bed along the beds foot, or on a chair beside

sometimes huddlel of in hurry, bullying
with balls, or in the lesser fellows. marbles,
stained with the earth Of many fields where
woodchucks have been trapped, or perhaps torn
with the roughness OF trees on which squirrels
have been sought perhaps wet and mired with
the smooth black or gray mud from marshes, or
the oozy banks OF streams where muskrats have
been tracked. Under the beds foot lie the
shoes-one on its side--with the gray and
white socks now creased and soiled, thrown
across them and there in their little cells,
squared in the great mass of night, needless

identical with his interests and pursuits, or
religious faith. Hl
Man was not created for himself alone,
but for bis brother man. This Il is that
has led to the organization Of society, aud OF
societies
A noted writer says-spesking Of the con-
stitution Of the church 1t grew out OF
the principles and feelings Of human nature.
Our nature is social We cannot live alone.
We cannot shut up any great feeling 10 our
hearts; we seek for others to partakO Of. u
with us. The full soul finds at once relief
and strength in sympathy" Aud this priu-
ciple may be applied TO overy form Of so,
ciety, secular as we'll as religious, and is
needed among all callings, trades and pro-
fessious; especially among farming popula-
ton who live isolated. They need and de-
sire social organisation composed of those
who are in full sympathy with them in their
social habits, in their methods Of living, and
10 their business pursuits. The individual
can do but little. He wants strength which
he gets BY combination with his felow-meu.
As no man should live for himself alone,
il is the duty Of every one TO seek that union
which will enable him to exercise his gifts in
the way which will prove most advantageous
to the world in which, and for which, he was
created The recluse, or he who refuses or
declines to unite with some association, in
which he may increase his capacity for good,
is like the slothful servant who buried his
talent in the earth aud returned no interest
for it, to his Lord who had given il. The
order Of the Patrons of Husbandry, OF
Sovereigns Of Industry, are just the associa-
tons to give power and strength, by oombina
ton, to what, divided aud isolated, would DO
individual weakness, frsternally, mentally,
morally and financially. Men isolated and
alone accomplish very little. United, dis
ciplined, acting with one common impulse
for common purpose, clubbing their ener-
| gies iHto one common stock, aiding each
others weaknesses, by combined strength Of
all, mankind will never fail in any lAudablt
purpose and fraternal feeling will be pro,
duced that will enable US to place faith il
God build up our hope, dispense charity
and become noted for our fidelity.
The isolated individual, the farmer who
refuses to become associated with his fellow
farmer in fraternal society, becomes mo-
rose, unsooial, selfish, studies to bene6
himself alone, is a wrong-doer, and must &C
count for the talent he buries, not to BIZ
brother man alone, but 10 the Great Archi'
tect who has created it and bestowed it, thai
it may be Of benefit 10 mankind and TO tn
soul Of the owner Of the talent.
