DOVER, March 27, 1875.
Some thieves entered the dwelling of Mr..
John A Stevenson, on Governors Avenue,
on Sunday ,and carried off a quantity Of pro-
visions.
Mr.. David Harrington's store house which
is undergoing repairs, and consequently was
open to the weather was somewhat dam
aged by the late storm.
The storm caused the water In the mill
ponds, already fnll, to assume dangerous
proportions, and all day Sunday the millers
were wasting water in large quantities.
Rev. Henry Sutton, a well-known Meth
odist minister, holding stpernumerrry rela-
tions with the Wilmington M. E. Confer
ence, and for long time resident of Do

Harrisburg, on Thursday last. He was
about 68 years old, and was in active minis
try for nearly thirty years. For about fif-
teen years he resided in Dover, and was
much esteemed and respected by all who
knew him. For the past two or three
years he has been suffering from more or
less violent dementia, and has been under
treatment in various asylvmns for several
years. He is to be buried from the resi-
dence of his son, lawyer in Philadelphia,

Temperance Lecture,

Last evening 10 the Friends meeting
house, 5th and West streets, Aaron Pourl,
of New York city, under the auspices Of
the mems Temperance Union, delivered q
lecture on the aspects Of the temperance
cause. Mr.. Pourl stated that the liquor
traffic of to-day, cost US an expenditure
greater than that cost at any one period
during the late war. Our money men are
discovering the question of currency, but II
they could close up the rum traffic, we
might sooner have larger outlay ofmoney.
Let US try aud consider how we can lessen
this great expenditure. The police record
of my own city for last year, showed the
total number Of arrests to be $500, and the
police commissioners say in their statement
that from seventy y-fveto ninety per cent
of these arrests could he traced directly or
indirectly-most of them directly-to
drink That for the city of New York
alone; and have no doubt that other cities,
arrest about the same proportionate mum
ber. Yesterday, visited the National
Jail at Washington, and asked the keeper
how many were Incorporate, and he re.
piled Immediately, "All of them," and con-
tinued the keeper, owe have never had
arrested temperance man."
Mr.. fOWel spoke OF tne lnsuWclent size
of the prison, and thought If the members
of Congress who are pickering at the Capt.
tol could have an opportunity Of spending
one night in such place, 1t would be
useful lesson for them. The speaker alluded
to the exertions Of the past half century
for the promotion of the temperance move
ment, and said that he was afraid that
ground was being lost. "To refer to Wash
ington again" he said '.there was church
in this city. which to raise money In its
treasury, gave fair, in which lager beer
was sold as a beverage, and another church
sold punch. How, when religion sanctions
the sale of rum, the Reform Society-has
something yet to do"
Mr.. Powell continued his address for
some time, and as he uttered many truths
ana suggestions, was listened to with
marked attention by the large audience as.

OUR BOAT CLUB,

The Consolidation Schesne-FailMre of the
Chester Regatta Plan-GOssip.
The proposed consolidation of the Undine
and Pioneer boat clubs, of this city, is in a
fair way now to be consummated. The Pi-
oneer members were the first to propose the
scheme and The Undine club, Informally,
among the members, considered the propo-
sition some time before meeting was called
to pass judgment upon the matter.
Last week, however, the Undine club
held their first Spring meeting, and the en-
tire session was taken up in considering the
proposition of consolidation. Finally it
was determined to appoint committee to
confer with the Pioneer club and see what
could be done. Another meeting, to hear
the report of the committee and for the
election of officers will take place this week,
when the consolidation will either take
place or some other arrangements made.
We understand that the committee which
was appointed, Mr.. Jackson being the
chairman, has already had conference
with the Pioneer members, and that the
consolidation scheme will in all probability
be successful. 1t is pretty certain that the
Undine club will not change it's name, and
the uniting of the two clubs will result in
the loss of identity to the old Pioneers.
Those interested in the sport say that the
change will give the Undine club, already
strong in skill and muscle, an immense ad-
vantage over the Bachelors, the newest OF
the boat clubs of the city, but from brief
conversation between HERBLp represent
ative and member of the Bachelor club, it
does not appear that the doughty little
club is at all frightened; they are ready
pearances, it would seem that the regatta,
which will take place in June, will be o
hotly contested one. The proposed re-
gatta with the Chester club has been
broken off, on account Of the dissimilarity
between the boats of the two clubs, but It
is quite likely that the Chesterlboys:will join
our regatta. The proposed Lew club Of
which we spoke some time ago, is still
being agitated, and 1t will probably, now
that the consolidation plants likely to be
adopted, take definate shape.

the Morgan City, and was ordered on to be

Chas. Morgan of New York. The names OF
the steamers recently launched were the
Brasher, New York, and Algiers. The
Morgan City is about 1900 tons burden, and
in every respect will be, when finished, a

OrviI Grant and ship Knees.

George Alfred Townsend writes to the
Philadelphia Times as follows: A month
ago, before I saw any notice of the fact in
the press and did not think it worth while
printing, landed at Lewes, Delaware, and
proceeding up the Breakwater railroad to
Georgetown, I observed great number of
ship-knees collected around the stations. A
passenger told me they were being pur-
chased by Orvil Grant. At Georgetown,
Delaware, inquired about Mr.. Grant, see
ing his name in the hotel books. They told
me he was harmless, volatile fellow, who
but recently had to borrow $50 to pay
his hotel bill and get out of the town. He
was buying these ship knees on advances.
from contractors, paying $3.50 for seven
inch knees on the spot where they were
hewed. Road, rail and vessel transporta-
tion probably increased the prime cost very
much.
My feeling was that of contempt and
sadness, and even in this remote corner of
the earth, where probably no kin of
President had ever visited since James X.
Folks ancestors left It, generations ago,
the Presidents own brother should be
slab-trader in ship-knees. The next week
I was in Baltimore, and related this to
merchant. He smiled and said that I
seemed to get at everything. "Now, I'll
tell you about Orvil Grant" he said "He
was employed for that work in this city.
He is poor, energetic, slip-shod, spend
thrift fellow, laboring before the night
coIneth to make some money. But he is
constituted like Grant himself--no manager,
no business man, ignorant Of every law of
trade, and opportunities slip past him every
day, which would make third. rate business
men rich. He is always hard up, always
tumbling into some new trap, aud always
coming out short"
