A Good Gunner.

A few days ago prominent merchant
tailor doing business not more than one
mile from the shadow of Second street mar
ket house, went cunning on the marshes not
far from the city line. Almost as soon as
he arrived on the ground, be shot at soli-
tary reed bird; the result was dead bird,
three men shot, and three lights of glass
knocked out of the watch box on the line of
the Wilmington and Western Railroad near
Christiaua bridge. One of the parties sh OF
returned to the city with number of sho,
in bis leg. We trust this will not prevent
him from making good run.

Another Suggestion.

To the Editor of the HERALD:
I suggest an addition to the interroga
tions that a candidate must answer before
he is qualified to serve as temperance
candidate. Let him be not only temper
ance advocate, but man moral In every
sense. By such Legislative representa-
tion, can we hope to make such bodies be-
yond the suspicion Of dishonesty.

WIN. b. DAVIS DRIVEN FROM THE
QUARRY,

Mr.. Dnvts and hts En.plovees OesspsEIs4
to Abandon Werk at Eleventh Street
Quarry.
Agreeable to instructions received from
the Chairman of the Street Committee, tho
Street Commissioner, Mr.. Francis McC Closkey
repeatedly notified VIM. B. Davis that he
must cease work at the quarry on Eleventh
street, which orders by advice of his attor-
ney, John G. Patterson, Esq, he refused to
comply with. On Thursday, ct the request
of the Street Commissioner, the Mayor sent
q police force and had brought before him,
VIM. B Davis, the contractor, John Linn
and James Murine, sub-cOntract0rs, who
promised to discontinue work at once, which
promise they violated by resuming work
Yesterday morning. As our readers are
aware, at the meeting of Council, held on
Thursday evening last, the contract under
which Mr.. Davis had quarry leave at
Eleventh street quarry, was declared null
and void, and the Street Commissioner In
structed to call on the Mayor for the aid Of
the police, to expell Mr.. Davis or any Of bis
employees from the quarry.
Yesterday morning the Street Commis-
sioner with Capt. Perry Cropper and six
men under his command proceeded to tho
quarry where they found the usual force Of
quarrymen at work.
They were ordered to discontinue work at
once, which they did leaving their tools on
the ground. The Commissioner was inform
ed BY .hem that II the tools were left at the
works they, the quarrymen, would resume
labor as soon as the police force left the
ground, and that there might be no trouble
the police collected the tools and placed
them IN the tool box, the men assembled
about the City Hall, but no resistance to the
law was made by any one connected with
the work, and we are informed that nothing
will be done by Davis until the case 10 set
tied in our courts.
Since the above was in type we learn
from very reliable sOnrc=, that an agree
ment had been entered into between the
Street Committee and John g. Patterson,
ESQ, attorney of VIM B. Davis, that he
should be allowed to continue until sufi-
cient stone has been quarried for the two
squares of Walnut street which has been
graded, Davis agreeing rot to put down any
more new holes.
Mr.. Pickels and Mr.. Underwood were
riding down by the quarry on Thursday and
were under the impression that new holes
were being put down, which we are Informed
was not the case. Hence the ejectment.

If politicians manipulate the Temperance
ticket then the good purposes of the Con-

conducted under the auspices of scheeming
politicians let it be so, but if 1t is to be pure
ly in the cause of temperance, why by all
means let 1t be so. Above all things let It
not be hedgsd in by deceitful motives. There
