FELL. on TIE lCE.-This morning, as
a team from the country was passing
along French street above Second, the
horse slipped and fell, breaking one Of the
shafts of the carriage. Several attempts
were made to raise the horse, but failed,
as his slippery shoes prevented him from
rising further after getting on his haunch
es. Finally large crowd collected, and
as many men as could gather around the
animal, took hold and supported him I'M
til he struggled to his Ieet. He was then
led TO the nearest blacksmith shop to have
his shoes roushed.

There is very little of interest going on
in our litCle bergh. The fair at St.
Peters Church We understand will close
tonight after very successful week.
Business is back into the old rut and
not much doing. Our corn dealers are
unable to get vessels on account of the
heavy ice, and our wharves in conse-
quence do not present very busy ap-
pearance. Our harbor is somewhat full
of vessels which took refuge here Satul-
day. The following list will give your
readers an idea Of what we see here near
ly every day. There are the barks Siren,
Berner, Tancoak, Argo; frigate, Bird; the
schooners Marsie, Richmond, A. j. Grace,
L. Sinnickson, n. II. Bennett. Il. G.. Ben
ton, 7. Wood, Sallie b., j. L. Doughty,
Caroline, B. III. Jones; the tugs Cynthea,
Stilla, Lowering, Churchman, Mary Ann,
Boulton, and some ten or fifteen oyster
boats on their way down. The schooner
Richmond Will load grain here for an
eastern port. The schooner Margie was
carried ON Joe Flogger shoal by the ice,
but fortunately came off unhurt.

Negroes .lHock u White MN ond get
BuU-dOzed.
\ correspondent of the Deldvdredn
gives the following account of disturb
ance which took place at Galena, Nd, on
Tuesday, December 26th:
Two negroes, brothers, attacked awhite
man in broad daylight. The negroes had
been drinking with view to nerve them
selves to the meditated work. Becoming
sufficiently under the influence of whisky
they proceeded to carry out their nefar-
ious plans. Armed with razors, the ne
groe's weapon, but keeping them conceal
cd, they attacked the white man in one OF
the stores Of the place and were using
him roughly when some OF the white res
idents intertered, takin an active part in
the fight. In the melee the white man
received severe wound, his finger hay
ing been bitten of. One of the negroes
received a wound which will probably re.
suit in his death. They are hunting the
other like bloodhounds, he having escap-
ed in consequence of the confusion which
ensued. The best thinking men in Ga
lena condemn it as being entirely the
fault of the negroes. They are notorious
and OF family noted for their depreda-
tions on the farmers of the community.

BY n recent statement from the County
Treasurer, it appeared that during the
year 1870 the colored people paid school
taxes amounting to S1240,4 and this
sum was turned over to the Delaware
Association for Moral Reform which has
charge of the colored schools in the
State outside Wilmington.
During the same year there were Aad-
mitted into the County Aims House
twenty-eight colored people, whose cost
of maintenance, according to the recent
report OF that institution, averaged 23i
cents per day. This would make the en-
tire cost for one year, of these persons,
amount to S23S4.66s cents, or nearly
twice us much as the colored people OF
the entire county pay for the support Of
their schools.
At the last quarterly statement Of the
Superintendent the AlmShouse contained
A colored inmates, and the number sci
dom, if ever, falls below this figure. Tai,
ing this number for an average, the cost
per year for their maintenance will
amount to S3747 SO or three times as
much rs the colored people pay for the
support of their schools.
In this city the colored people pay no
school tax, and are given the privilege OF
two good schools, supported by the taxes
paid by white citizens. 1t will thus he
seen that in this State at least, they are
a favored class,

AN UGLY DAY.-So far as the weather
was concerned yesterday was certainly
the unliest day the season. The snow of
the morning changed to sleet by noon, and
by 3 o'clock the sleet was converted INTO
rain, which prevailed until nightfali. The
pavements were slippery and sloppy,while
nearly all the streets were flooded from
the oyerfilled cutters, rendering it both
unpleasant and dangerous for those who
were forced to be away from their homes.
Throughout the night high wind pre-
yailed.

Come now and let us reason together


Why do people so frequently say to
DIR. Pierce, Il suppose your Golden
Medical Discovery cures every thing?
Because it has been the practice of
knavish charlatans to manufacture worth
less nostrums and attempt to dupe the
ignorant and credulous by recommending
them to cure every form of disease. To
such an extent has this been practiced
that it is no wonder that many have
acquired prejudices against all advertised
remedies. But DIR. Pierce does not ad-
vertise his standard preparations as "cure
slls," does not claim that they will per-
form miracles, but simply publishes the
fact that they have been developed as
specifics for certain forms of disease for
which he recommends them after having
tested their efficacy in manyhundred cases
with the most gratifying success. 1t is a
fact known to every well-informed physi-
clan that many single remedies possess
several different properties. Qninine for
instance, has a tonic quality, which sug-
gests its use in cases of debility; an anti
periodic, by which it is efficacious in
ague; and n febrifuge property, which
| renders its etficacious i'll cases of fever.
The result of its administration will
also vary with the quantity given and the
circumstances under which tits employed
| So, likewise, the Golden Medical Dis
| cOVery possesses Dotu pecloiai anu dl'ef
| ative, or blood cleansing properties of the
highest order. BY reason Of these two
prominent properties it cures two classes
of diseases. First, those of the respira
tory organs, as throat, bronchial and
lung affections, chronic coughs and asth
ma, and second, diseases of the blood and
granular system, in which affections al
| skillful physicians employ alternatives, a
in cases of blotches, eruptions, ulcers
swellings, tumors, assesses, and in
torpor of the liver OF "billiousness.
While ts use is, by its combinations o.
properties, suggested in cases of pulmo
nary consumption, yet you need not TAKE
it expecting 1t will cure yon if your lung
are half consumed. nor because 1t is re
commended as a blood medicine woul(
its proprietor advise you to take it tC
cure cancer. 1t will not perform mira
cles, but it will cure many grave forms o
disease.

BY American Rfesa Assoeietioso saF
I fLoNDoN, May 2.-Ths British govern
mont has Informed the American Legation
that II viii release Winslow tomorrow, and
that the two other prisoners, Gray Of New
York. and Brent OF, Louisville, whose ex-
tradition is also sought, will be released
when their terms have expired. sN' Y
Although the notification has been given,
the government has not formally replied to
Americas argument, owing to the absence
of Lord Derby, which 10 caused BY the
recent death Of bis mother. In addition to
the arguments already made public touch
ing the Interpretation Of the act Of 1870,
America has adduced as precedent . case
occurring in 1871, wherein Chief Justice
Cockburn ordered the surrender to France
under similsr circumstances, upon the mere
opinion of the French Consul that the pris-
oner would only be tried for the offense for
which he was surrendered, the Chief Jus
tice remarking, obissr, that, even without
the Consul's assurance, he should have de-
cided against the prisoner.
A report 10 Gu, rent that the opposition
intend attacking the government upon the
Winslow affair. Mr.. Gladstone's govern
ment formally, through Attorney General
Coleridge, supported an Interpretation OF
the act exactly the opposite of the present
governments. .s ..
