Shipping HOgs.-Messrs. PRArr &SUr-
TON, of Toledo, came into this vicinity
several weeks since for the purpose of pur-
chasing fat and stock hogs. Their first ef-
forts were not very aattering for success,
nobody having any for sale, but the prices
they were offering proved temptation too
strong to resist, and they have shipped sew
eral car loads from this station. They
shipped 100 head on Monday, one of which
weighed sos, pounds paying SAP 65 for the
one hog They have collected nearly suf
ficent number for another car load, to be
shipped tomorrow. Their principal ship
ments are to Boston, but some shipments
have been made to Buffalo.

ALPS Not Well That Ends WeII.-Se-
duction, under promise of marriage, is not
thing OF rare occurrence, and perhaps
quite as frequently as not, the pledge of the
precipitous lover is fulfilled, and the af-
fair terminates without tragic climax. The
foolish virgin who yields, however is
straightway tortured with anxiety for the
contamination of the ceremony, and some
times, impatient OF delay until the pro-
posed time, she has recourse to the law, to
yindicate her threatened good name. That
was the step taken by young woman who
resides on the East Side. The recreant
swain is youthful farmer living near Per.
rysburg, and he has been Showing atten-
tion" to his indmOrdtd for the past two
years. About three weeks ago, being still
financially unprepared for welded life, he
succeeded by dint of vows and asseyerations
OF honest intent, in subverting her integri-
~. Shortly afterward, she urged him to
obtain the sanction OF the church to their
intercourse, and as he insisted upon post
ponement, she procured warrant for his
arrest and had him brought for trial before
Justice OF the Peace. Frightened at the
phase that affairs were assuming, the Gran
ger offered if proceedings should be stopped,
to marry the girl at once. Nothing could
please her better, and the pair Immediately
betook themselves 10 minister and were
made one. II is customary to say in snch

Mysterious Death. several weeks
since worthy young man, named CHAs.
CHoLLErr, son Of Mr.. JOHN CHoLLErr,
OF East Toledo, disappeared from his home,
but his parents supposing he had made
trip to the West gave themselves no trou-
bic over his absence. On Saturday last
the body Of a man was found floating in
the river, and his parents were stricken
with grief to learn by the contents of his
pockets that it was their son, the features
being too much disAgured to be recognized
otherwise. 1t is supposed that his death
was caused by falling from the dock.
The family we're formerly residents Of
this place and the remains OF the unfor-
tunate young man were deposited In their
last resting place in the Cemetery here
on Monday.

The decision of Governor Cochran in
answer to the petition of committee from
City Council that special session of the
Assembly be held, 10 enable them to ef.
feet loan with which 10 complete the
Cool Spring Reservoir, is admirable. His
reasons for not holding a special session of
Assembly are we'll taken, and define clear
ly that strict watch which the Governor
has ever kept over the interests of the State.
There is every cause for the people of Will
mington, to desire the reservoir compile
ted, because there are hundreds of families
who are dependent upon their labor in
this work for living, but while this re-
mains an appreciable fact, there is no rea-
son that the States finances should be i'm
measurably crippled by advantages that
would be taken of special session Of the
Legislature for jebbing purposes. The ac-
tion Of the Governor will meet with ap.

proval from all, we are confident; and
his watchfulness ofthe State finances must
command for him increased admiration.

Mr.. j. P. BENJAMIN, @ C., the ex
Confederate Secretary Of State, furnishes q
strikingly exceptional instance Of an Amer
lean breaking through the social and pro.
fessienal conservatism which excludes
Americans from the liberal professions in
England. He'landed in the country where
he is naturalized almost destitute Of cloth
ing and Of money. But few practising bar
risters can boast so large an income as he
now enjoys, his fee in the Franconia case
amounting to se,25o gold. Mr.. Benjamin
entirely ignores every allusion to the
Southern Rebellion, and his success is due
to legal knowledge and power in pleading,
without any advsntitious aids.

The pleasantness of the weather yes
terday over that which we endured the
Sunday previous was very noticeable. 1t
was noticeable in the increased crowds
upon the avenues, at the cemeteries there
was fuller attendance of visitors, and at

of comfort; the number of worshippers
was arger,and the ministers seemed to par
take Of new inspiration and preached

was dropped in upon them. 1t came from
Mr.. J. H. Hofiecker, Jr, who has recent
ly been nominated by. the President as
United States District Attorney for the
District of Delaware. He was pleased TO
inform the honorable body that the Pres

to 60 into the Diamond State and do his
bidding. Mr.. Hofecker recognized

day thoroughly secular funeral took place
in this city on the occasion of the burial OF
the late Mr.. William Seavor, brother of Mr..
Horace seaver, of the Investigator" The
ceremonies took place in Paine Hall and
comprised the reading Of Bryant's Than
atopsis, appropriate music and addresses
by Horace Seavor, j. P. Mendum, and John
Verify. The brother of the deceased, apos-
trophizing his departed relative, said that
while knowing or believing nothing as to
any future life beyond the grave, he ex-
pressed wish that such might be the case
but said that it were not so he would beal

AGAIN we would call the attention Of
the police to the Avenue on Sunday after
moons. Their presence in that quarter Of
the city at this particular time, is clear to
any one who has occasion to walk that
thoroughfare on Sunday afternoons.
Youths and men lounging upon the cor
ners and fences squirting tobacco juice
over the pavenents, and making indecor-
our remarks of ladies and gentlemen who
pass is cause palpaple enough for any
one to understand why the police are
needed. Is the force exclusively for night
duty? t...,.
The Morning herald., 1876-07-17
POLICE WANTED.

We do not want more policemen. We
have enough now in fact too many Of
them, if the amount of service they per-
form is to be taken as any indication of
their worth or general efficiency. There
have recently been some very striking
instances of the general carelessness Of the
policemen of Wilmington. On the day of
the Fourth Of July, one upon which they
should have used more than usual vigi-
lance, they were more scarce than upon
other occasions. Where they were we
will leave to inference, which can be as
easily drawn by the reader as by us. Our
experience every day as newspaper men
brings US constantly in contact with the
cunstabulary force Of the city, and we have
in this way been enabled to discover how
the city is patroled, and we must contend
that it is done not only imperfectly, but
carelessly. There is no reasonable excuse
that fight should occur within two
squares Of police headquarters, attract a
crowd Of fve| hundred persons that
swarmed from Market street and even
from front of the police head
quarters, and yet no policeman arrived
on the ground until twenty minutes after
the disturbance was over, and the crowd
dispensing. There also seems no reasona-
Bile excuse that fight, which threatened
a general row should occur on Market
street on the Fourth of July, and continue
fteen minutes in the presence of dense
Crowd before police officer puts in an ap-
pearance. 1t also seems as though the
force could be made up with better stuff
than that which characterized the actions
of an officer the same day, when he let two
or three men armed with base ball bats,
rescue a prisoner. from him, without
any resistance from himself, although
armed with revolver and stick. If the
force is made up Of such material as this,
then the city is isexposed to dangers, which
should call for immediate action from
those who have the organization of the
force in their hands. When we make
these assertions, We bespeak the sentiments
Of numerous complaints that have come
'nto this Office. 1t is the voice Of the peo-
pie that we echs, and as they are the tax.
payers, they are the masters, and none
have better right to complain, and the
press is the most effective medium for
them to do SO through.
The Morning herald., 1876-07-17

this committee a. the exponent Of
the sentiments of the Republican
party, end he was willing p
abide the action Of the Committee. How
he could do otherwise we ars unable to
see when it is composed Of the men who
urged his nomination the most. The
meeting very naturally passed resolutions
approving the nomination: the prime pur-
pose for which the meeting was called was
to do this very work. The Committee in
their resolutions say that the appointment
of Mr.. Hofecder is especially the 6rststep
towards producing harmeny Though the
displacepent Of disorganiaers" The only
Interpretation that We can place'upsn this
is the one that, Mr.. Higgins is regarded by
the wing Of the party here who have
sought his displacement, as disorganizer.
This is the first intimation the
people of Delaware have ever
had that Mr.. Higgins ISL disorganizer.
But it clearly marks this out as his erring;
which has brought.a successor, and that
he has been disposed to'act with too much
justice toward Government defaulters. His
support Of Brtstow could be no object with
the President forhis removal, for the Pres
ident is a, more implacable hater Of Blaine
than he is Of Bristow and his dislike Of the
latter as he has shown by recent discourte-
GUS conduct is not very moderate. This
evidences that there is another reason for
the sudden and impatient desire to get
Mr.. Higgins out of the way. These are
suppe sed by the inaugurators Of the re-
removal Of Mr.. Higgids to be latent in
their own bosoms, but the restless desire to
effect it as soen as possible, and hurry into
power one of their flock, tears the veil
away, and exposes the canker. If to fight
against this makes Mr.. Higginsa disorgan-
izer, then truly virtue is its own reward,
for it has none to receive from the admin
istration and some Of its supporters.

Two Incidents Of the war of lsl2.


From the Washington Gazette.
There are two occurrences In the war OF
1912 which are characteristic Of the Ken
lucky soldier of that time, which do not
recollect of seeing in print. The one oc-
CURED while the American prisoners were
being marched through Canada to Fort
George. On one occasion the officer COM
manding the guard bought some whiskey
and invited the Kentucky corporal to drink.
The British captain gave as toast, George
III.
The corporal drank without hesitation.
The British captain then called upon the
corporal for sentiment.
The corporal rather declined, saying:
"You have been kind III inviting me to
drink, and may give ofiense by giving a
toast.'
"No," said the captain; "give sent
mental toast"
The corporal then said
"May the skins of kings be made drum
heads and the shanks of Tories drum-sticks
to beat the Americans to arms
The British Coptain remarked:
"Sir, you must remember where you are
and act accordingly"
A British lieutenant, who composed one
OF the company, SAID
"Stop, Captain, you called for sentiment,
and you must not take exception;
Suffice to say, the British officers swal-
lowed the toast.
The other happened in Camp jackson,
near New Orleans, on the Sth day of Janu-
ary, 1915. After the British made the last
charge on our breastworks they sent in q
flag of true, which was met by flag from
the American army, asking the priva1ege OF
removing their killed and wounded, which
were numerous. A line was designated SO
far from our breastworks as to prevent th9
enemy discovering the nature of our de-
fences, and American soldiers placed on one
side Of the line and British on the other.
While their dead and wounded were taken
to this line and received by British soldiers,
a soldier belonging to the latter remarked
to Kentucky soldier:
SIT is useless for you to continue the con-
test. We are determined to take the city.
We have Lord Packenham, Lord Gibbs, and
Lord Keene, with powerful army, and are
determined to take the CITY,"
To which the Kentucky soldier replied
"We have on our side the Lord God Al
mighty, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the
hero old Hickry, and III be damned if we
don't whip YOU"
Kentuckians may be overpowered, but
still they will crow.
