A COnstable's Plan,

During the past week, says the Breakwa.
ter Ltght, 8. p. Barker, the newly appointed
constable and town bailiff of Georgetown
has arrested some twelve or fifteen travel
ling agents and salesmsn for selling goods
bv sample or otherwise without Stste IL
cepse. There is law in this State which
compels all such statesmen to pay license
tax of S25. Very few of those arrested
were found to have license, and they
either had to furnish themselves with the
necessary papers, or manage to "skedadle:"
Barker says that he wants to increase the
revenue of the State, and while doing SO
make few dollars for himself.

DOVER, March rs, 1870.
The sale of books at the Odd Fellows L.
brary came off on Thursday night. Only
about two hundred volumes were sold, aud
the sale discontinued until Eext Thursday
evening. The books sold at rather low
rates Scott, Cooper, Dickens, Muhlbach
and Lever in cloth brought on an average
about eighty cents. James works on an av-
erage Of fifteen cents, and various others
from ten to seventy-fivc cents. The sale
was tolerably we'll attended.
Trade has been rather dull all over town
the entire week and there is little prospect
of its livening up to-day, as the driving rain
storm which now prevails, will keep most
of the farmers who usually come in to trade
on Saturday, at home.
The State Capital Guards have received
the first of their new suits, which appeared
at the armory on drill, on Friday night, and
were universally admired by the members.
This company Is not In as good condition as
could be wished. The officers complain
bitterly Of the non-attendance of the men
at drill, and other irregularities that are
very trying to the temper and patience. The
officers are fine set Of men, many of them
veterans of the late civil war. and the men
are physically and intellectually fine body,
and with training would make as fine troops
as ever were the "blue hens chickens"
themselves. But large number of them
will not attend drill, and as they have never
been mustered in, there is no way to make
them come, consequently the company is in
as disorganized state as an organization
can possibly be. 1t is to be hoped, for the
honor of Dover, that the company may
hold together and succeed, but at present It
looks very doubtful, and as many Of the
members refuse to be mustered into the
State service, all that is done must be- done
by personal eXertions.

Temperance.

The usual Sunday temperance meeting
was held yesterday afternoon in the lnstl-
tute Hall, and was attended by about l5O
persons. The meeting was organized by
calling Rev. j. L. Houston to the chair,
who opened the meeting with very fervent
and earnest prayer in which he asked that
God might bless the exertions of those who
were putting forth their energies for the
suppression of intemperance.
Mr.. Wells then read his usual weekly
report giving his experience in obtaining
signers to the pledge. He stated that the
total number to it was S47, ia of which
were members of the Conference. Mr.
Wells report was as usual very interesting.
When he had finished, an invitation was
extended to any who wished to speak.
The first gentleman invited to speak
was Mr.. Crouch, who arose at the request
of Rev. Mr.. Wells, and made short ad-
dress, during which he related some of his
personal experience in trying to break up
the rum traffic; and said that he had talked
with drunkards, with the fathers Of men
who drank, and with the mothers whose
sons were drunkards, but could get them
to do nothing towards the destruction Of the
evil.
Mr.. Crouch said that he would admit
that it was Republican in politics, but
that he would never compel him to sacrifice
his principle, or vote for man who did not
work for banishing the liquor traffic from
the land. The gentleman spoke for several
momets, and when he had concluded, the
Rev. Mr.. Wells made few remarks in
which he offered some practical suggestions.
Rev. A. D. Davis was next introduced,
and talked in an interesting manner, and
said that ever since he was eighteen years
of age, he had been working and speaking
for the temperance cause. The meet
ing continued with some sweet sing
ing by Miss Emma Pickel, after
which Rev. Mr.. Houston arose and ad-
dressed the audience for few moments.
Mr.. Mcdonald also made short speech.
He was followed by Mr.. Nelson j. Lee, who
said that he had long wanted courage to
stand up before an audience, but today he
determined to say q few words. He ap-
proved of this practical way of doing which
Brother Welles had adopted, as it had
saved him from drukeness. He concluded
by asking that all would pray for him, and
ask God to assist him to keep the pledge.
Mr.. Fields reminded those present that
next Saturday would be election of mem
bers of the School Board, and he hoped
that all would put their heads together and
see that sober men were elected. The
meeting concluded with the benediction by
Mr.. A D. Davis. Mr.. Cork, Of the Second
Baptist Church, will address the meeting
next Sunday.
