The Present License Lac.

THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE THE STATE
HAS LOST BY ITS WORKINGS IN TnIs
COUNTY.
A gentlemen who is in q position to
know, recently made the following com
putation Of the amount Of revenue lost
TO the State, by the working of the liquor
license law, in New Castle County,
In 1873, when the law went into opera
non, 1O1 persons, after making applica.
ton in due form, were refused licenses.
AT 500 each, these refusals caused a loss
to the State for that year of $1,000.
Taking this as an average and the loss
Tor the four years during which the law
has been in operation will amount to
81 800. By this law, the revenue from
licenses has been reduced to about $1,000
per year, while if licenses had been
granted to all who applied, the amount
would have reached $4,000 per year.
In view of the fact that most of those
who apply for and fail to get licenses
continue to sell, it is very probable that
the license law will be amended during
the present session of the Legislature,
and converted into a free license law, to
be rigidly enforced.

THE ICE SLOWLY MELTING AWAY.
On visiting the Brandywine, Yesterday
afternoon it was found to be in a tranoniI
condition. Above the bridge as far up as
can be the creek is clear of ice. and
1t is in the same condition below as far
as the city mill, where the gorge occurred
on each side of the creek; from that point
the ice had been piled up on either side
during the breaking on last Sunday
night week. At the foot of of Walnut
street the schooner, still remains piled
upon the wharf, and 1t will be yery hard
work in getting her off.
The appearance of the gorge yesterday
was such as not to excite alarm; the
warm weather of the past two days, and
the action of the water upon the ice is
gradually melting it away.
In conversation with a gentleman yes
terday afternoon who is in a position to
know he said that if the ice on the Rock.
land dams should come down the ice here
was so rotten, that it would give way.

Why Mississippi Vas "Bull-Doxed'.-
A Wilmington printer, who proposes to
start on Monday for Jackson, Mississippi
states that while he hopes to get employ
ment there he does not except to make
out as well as he did when he worked
there several years ago. "Then" he said
'the carpet-baggers ruled the state, and
spent about S2S0,000 per year for public
printing, and journeymen were getting
enormous wages,now the Democrats have
control Of the state, and the public print
ing costs only about $4,000 per year."

THE New HARRINGTON DEPOT BUILD
rNG.-This new building is now com
pleted and the company has made up
for all delay by constructing the largest,
most commodious, and handsome depot
building on their whole line from Will
mington down to Delmar. We have
heretofore spoken of the dimensions
(70x30) and material, (brick, stone and
slate) and now will only say that it is
in the Swiss cottage style, with front
aud back porch of the whole length, and
these as well as the gables handsomely
ornamented. The waiting rooms for
passengers are both large and well
finished and furnished, while the ticket
office Is in character with all the other
arrangements. 1t is a great improve
ment to the town of Harrington and a
great comfort to the hundreds of pas
sengers who are forced, by present train
arrangements to spend more time in it
than they desire.-Mgord Ne'rs.

THE DIEI.

The N. Y. Tribune published on Fri
day the other side of the story of the
Bennett-May duel, which it is as fol-
lows.
"The. article protesting to give the
truth about the May-Bennett duel, which
appeared in the. local columns of yester-
Gays tribune, now proves to have been
derived exclusively from the warm par
tisans OF Mr.. Bennett-a fact which ought
to have been stated in the article itself.
Every substantial allegation in it is denied
point blank by the Mays, and untruthf,Il-
ness has never been one efthe vices of
that family. We print this morning a
letter nam an authoritative source, Civ.
ing. certain facts concerning the duel,
which we have no doubt are accurately
stated. Letters from one of the seconds
in the duel have also been exhibited to
us, which make the following facts clear:
ID That May, as tbe challenging party,
having the right to a choice Of weapons,
chose cavalry sabres; (2) That Benefits
friends objected, ON the ground that this
gave May an advantage; (3) That Mays
friends yielded their choice and assented
dueling pistols; az That the distance was
twelve PAGES; (5) That no witnesses were
present, even the surgeons remaining at
distance, and the only persons on, or
IN sight OF, the duelling ground being the
two principals and their two seconds; (6)
That the word was given thus-sReady,
fre, one, two, three, stop'-the parties
not to move their pistols from the per-
pendicular until the word Fire was pro-
nounced, and not to fire after the word
1Stop" was pronounced, and the seconds
having the right to shoot down either
man who disobeyed this requirement;
W That Bennett and May fred almost
simultaneously at the word 'One; (8)
That neither was fnnoh aI. - ID -.
nett's friends then professed Themselves
satisfied; and q0l that the parties straight
way separated, the whole affair scarcely
having occupied ten minutes. These,
we have reason to believe, are, SO far as
they go, the exact facts" -
