PRocEF pINGs OF YESTERDAYS MEETING THE
OCTOBER STATE CONVENTION.
fReport Furnished by secEeary.l
The Womens Temperance Union convened as
usual, yesterday, August 1lth Mrs, Edw.
Moore presided in the absence Of Mrs. A. W
Smith, President
The question OF an Independent candidate
for Mayor was discussed. The desire prevailed
for man to fill the office who would enforce our
present law perfectly a righteous man. God
says when the righteous are in authority, the
people rejoice, but when the wicked have rule,
the people mourn.
While the Mayoraty was being discussed a
young man passed our windows in state of IN
toxication. Our hearts beat quicker at the sight,
as we realized. that though not oufs he was
- some mothers son.
We were silenced for moment yhen the
question was asked whether family could be
found, into which the unwelcome guest had not
come unbidden.
The words Of Jeremiah came to our minds
" death is come up into our palaces, to cut off
the children from without and the young men
from the streets.
Notice was given, that the State Convention
Mrs. Edw. Moore, Pres, )wonld be held in Octo-
ber at whateyertime would suit Mrs Wittemyer
the President of the Womans National Temper
ance Union, to be with us.
We purpose on that day to unite every link of
Temperance chain all over this state
The order has come to us from the invisible
but eyer-present Captain of the Hosts, to "cal
out the reserve, and as we listen, we hear the
gentle football of the women of Delaware, JOIN
ing the mighty army, which from Maine to Cali
fornia is falling into line.
Sisters. we see the faint slimmer the day
dawn of Temperance
As we look upon makers and sellers" lot ~
bear in mind two things We are not to fail III
brotherly love- and we are to be true to the
truth. Let us press on swiftly, constantly, re-
membering how beautiful upon the mountains
are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings,
that publisheth peace"

PETERS DIsoRpERLY CosDUcr.-Peter SPAIN
who is reported to keep an unlicensed saloon,
at 81 West Second Street, feeling aggrevied at
some structures in the Rtpubljcdn, which he at
tnbuted to George f. Roberts, one of his
neighbors, determined, yesterday, to have salts
faction by taking the law into hs own hands.
Accordingly he started for the house of Mr..
Roberts ''swearing IN Dutch, knocked at the
door, and then threw himself against it to force
an entrance, all the time filling the air with
threats and oaths. Mrs Roberts, who was alone
with the children, opened the door, and
seeing who it was, hastily shut it again, after
which she tainted. and lay for some time insen-
sible. The neighbors interfering, Mrs. r. re-
vived, and the angry SPAIN was arrested and ta-
ken to the Hall. He gave bail in his own re-
cognlzance for hearing, went back to the scene
of his first exploits, and commenced second
time a TRADE of abuse aud threats at Mr. Rob
erts family. He was again arrested and con-
tined III the cells. Mr.. Roberts, who was away
from home when the affair happened, WAS sent
for and when he came home hearing was held
before the Mayor. at which SPAIN was held in
$1,000 bail TO answer for di-orderiy conduct and
trying to break INTO Mr.. Roberts house and at
the same time held i'll $500 bail to answer for
threatening bodily harm to Mr.. Roberts.

Curing Bacon.

As the season for pork killing is about at hand and a good qual- ity of bacon is desirable and essen. tial, being an indispensable store with our planting class, we com mend the following clipping from the Country Gentleman to the pcrusal of our readers:
 Take out the ribs, and, after cutting off the ham and shoulders, divide the side longitudinally about half way up. The upper half being the most solid fat and meat, is cut ill suitable pieces for the pork barrel, and the lower half being thin and strcaked alter natcly with fat and lean, is just the thing for bacon. Take off a narrow strip from the lowest belly side, is all fat, and makes good lard. Leave your bacon in one piece, and put it in plain pickle of salt and water strong enough to float potato, for two weeks (if the pork is very heavy, let it remain for three days or q week longer); then hang in a smoke house, and cure to a light brown, more or less according to the taste. Cut thin, trim off the skin and smoky edges, and broil or fry and eat hot, and you have q dish relishing to the most delicate appetite, and satisfying to the most hearty. Boiled, it is a de- licious addition to poultry, and is irst-rate eaten cold afterward. The English bacon is generally dry salted, and much of it is hung up and kept without any smoke, except what it may get from the farmers kitchen, and is used through the year as we use our salt pork. I find that the pickle is quite as good and much less trouble than the process of drying. Some add saltpetre, but l think it has tendency to make the meat hard, without any cores bonding benefit. The bacon put up in this country and sold as sugar cured breakfast bacon" is very nice and sweet, but i'll flavor is exactly like ham. The addi- tion of sweetening matter spells it for my taste, and takes away the simple and appetizing flavor of the pure salt and smoke. Put sugar in your ham, but keep it out of your bacon.
