ARREST OF A CENTENNIAL SwIEDLER--
A "pious" man who has been living in
Chester for about Blk weeks, without any
apparent occupation, but who has carried
on large correspondence and received
many iemitJances by draft, postal order
and letter, was arrested on Saturday. con-
veyed to Philadelphia, and held for fur
ther hearing in 81, 500. The charge against
him is swindling, aud an examination OF his
letters shows that he has been in receipt Of
numerous sums Of money for views OF the
Centennial which he professed to sell, but
OF which his office was wholly barren. He
undertook to eyade arrest, and finding there
was no escape from Special Agent Of the
Post Office Department Barrett he was in
the act Of drawing his pistol but was over.
awed and yielded, Whitney has conducted
similar business at other places, includ.
ing Glenn's Falls, N. Y.

Of the largest which ever gathered at
Sloan. Mr.. Kenney made fitting refer

now felt better prepared than ever

o'clock, the congregation in the meanwhile
presenting him . purse Of over one hun
dred dollars Al . substantial token Of their
esteem. In the evsning, Mr.. konney
preached his farewell discourse to an over
flowing house, and so reluctant was the
parting that it was near 10 o'clock when the

fisheries along the creeks are complaining
that they can't catch any shsd this spring

advice upon the subject and are informed
that there is no statute under which they
can have redress. 1t is not unlikely, under

RESIGNATION OF A CoUNotLMAN.-It ia
aathoritatiyely announced that James p.
Hayes will resign his membership in Coun-
Gil on this, Thursday evening. The reason
assigned for this step by his friends Is the
continued unpleasant relations existing be-
tween himself and some of his own party
in Council. Once already,we are Informed,
these differences have led almost to pistols,
and it ia stated that MIR. Hayes is fearful
lest in the excitement Of the moment, he
may do something rash which will cause
him regret tho remainder of. lis
life. Another version is that Mr..
Hayes expresses an unwillingness to die
with the Democratic party. Ex-Msyor
Siums, Isaac @. PYLE and Jas. A. Hart
have been mentioned for the succession,
but we understand that ut the caucus held
last night Mr.. Pyle was selected.

KRDUcED FARES TO THE CENTENNIAL -
Tho p. W. & b. Co. have entered into ar
rargements with ether railroad companies
for cheApening fares to the Centennial. By
this agreement. round trip tickets, good for
fifteen dsys, will be issued from Baltimore
at S., and Washington At ~. 80. A rumor
has prevailed in this city that reduction is
to be made between Wilmington and Pbila-
delphia. but We are unable to trace it to any
authoritative source. Tits probable however
that the P. W. & B. Co. will set down pas
sengers from Wilmington on the Centen.
NAL grounds, by come Of their trains, with
out extra charge. Excursion tickets may
also be sold from points below Whining ton,
on tho mann line, and on the Delaware r.

much probability Of reduction from this
