THE BATTLE OF BRANDYwIXE.-Thisb battle
Of the Revolution was fought on the llth
of September, l77G, at Chadd's Ford, just
over the line, in Chester CO., Pa. 1t is pro.
posed to celebrate its centennial next
Tuesday. The Delaware Historical Society
recommends its members and other citizens
OF this State to visit the battle field on that
day, and unite with our neighbors Of Penn

committee Of the Society has been appoint
ed to promote, as far as may be found
practicable, the appropriate celebration of
the day. The committee consists of Joseph

here he went after reaching the city no
one has an idea. An accomplice, of course,
took the carriage to him. 1t was found on
the street in Wilmington, empty, and re-
turned to the livery. This makes the third
time that Frank has escaped from New
Castle jail, where he was incarccrated to
serve ten years sentence for the robbery
OF the Delaware Bank in Wilmington, on
November 7th, 1873. From what we can
learn here it appears that the hero Of so
many escapes won his freedom this time by
means of duplicate key, which had been
conveyed to him by some means. The key
was for the main door of the Jail, and
Frank made use Of it-while the keeper.
Mr.. Herdman, was in the yard The
prisoner had been let out Of his cell for c.l-
crcise, and there was but one door between
him and liberty. 1t is the opinion of some
that he was rowed over to jersey.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT CLAYToN.--Last
Thursday morning, 30th ult., about4 O. clock,
the large basket factory of Evans & Co., at
Clayton, caught fire by some means un-
known, and was totally consumed, together
with Thos. S. Buckmaster's wheelwright
shop and j. G. Lohand's blacksmith shon.
Herman HazelPs storehouse was also dam.
aged but the fire was checked there. The
alarm was given in Smyrna in short time.
and created big stir, but few oc our citi.
zens arrived in time to do much good. All
the buildings were frame, and consumed
rapidly. The loss is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000. The losers are Evans &
Co., Geo. w. Cummins, jr., and Jonathan B.
EVans,) OF this town, who owned the most
valuable part of the machinery and con.
siderable lumber for basket material. They
also had about 5000 baskets burned. They
were insured for $4,000 on machinery in
the Etna Company and two others. The
factory building was owned by 2. Maguire.
OF Clayton, who loses from 81 500 to $4,000.
He owned goodly portion of the machin-
cry also. No insurance. The wheelwright
and blacksmith buildings were owned by
Mr.. Buckmaster, who loses from 81 900 to
81 200. No insurance. Mr.. Lofand, the
blacksmith, lost heavily in stock, wagons,
roller, &c., he having bought Mr.. Buck,
master out when he rented the shop. lie
estimates his loss at about 81 200; no in
surance. Mr.. Hazells loss by damage to
his goods was covered by insurance in the
Kent Mutual. The storehouse he occupies
is owned by Sam'l Cats, of this town.
The slight damage to it was also covered
by insurance in the same company. That
the building was saved was the great
mystery of the fire. The rear was in close
proximity to the buildings that were des-
troyed, but by hard work the citizens of
Clayton checked the flames at this point,
after they had penetrated through that
end OF the house only. Mr. Hazell's goods
were all removed during the fire to the
vacant lot near the depot, but they were

1t would be a mistake to suppose that
the breaking-down of the Mormon policy
of dscOuraging the immigration of people
OF other religions, which must speedily
follow the death Of Brigham Young, IS
going to open an extensive field in Utah
to agricultural settlement. The amount of
land in the Territory available for cultiva-
ton Is relatively very small, and it is
probable that the MormOns have already
made the most Of it. Indeed, the crowd.
ing of population in the basin Of the Great
Salt Lake and the narrow valley of the
Jordan caused Brigham Young years ago
to push his settlements southward nearly
five hundred miles, to the borders Of
Arizona. lie planted colonies at every
spot where there was a prospect that a
few score Of settles could get a living from
the land. No land in Utah is valuable for
farming that cannot be irrigated. Thus it
IS only in valleys where neighboring
mountain ranges afford a supply of water
from springs or reservoirs of melting snow.
which can be conducted over the fields ly
sluceways and bitches, that the farmer
can raise crop. In 1870, according TO the

Utah was 6G,1SG. Since then it has in

Those who looked could see the engineers

equal to the emergency. The air-brake

WILMINGTON held its city election yes

there was no Mayor to elect. The Mayor

The child was taken into the presence of

failed to recognize him. Mrs. Ross said
that he is not her boy, although he re.
sembles Charlie, his eyes being like his,
but that his wrists are too large and he is
too wide between the cheek bones. The
little fellow was very much worried and
vexed by the curious attention of the
crowd, and at one time became SO stubborn
that the sheriff was obliged to carry him
away and plead with him for nearly an
hour before he would move. A number of
Mr.. Ross's friends who knew Charlie say
that be resembles the lost boy very much,

"A SENSIBLE MOvEMENT.-Certain infuen

elevation of their race and bettering of its
condition. The old fable of the farmer
who wanted his crop cut comes to mind
Just here: as long as he sent out to look
Tor hired laborers or for his cousins or
brothers to do it, the partridges sat still
and ate his grain calmly, but as soon as he
shouldered the sickle himself, they made
on to the last feather. Our colored friends
