The question is constantly asked of the State
Commissioners, ''Is Delaware. like other

In all probability the finest and most thor
oughly finished draught locomotive the Residing

not vet served his entire time with the company.
The work Ia about half finished, and 10 now on
the stocks, standing nearly in the centre Of tho
