MEssRs. EDIToRs The captains Of
the Halloween party Of this town met
with rather cool reception. Their oh
ject being to afford sport for themselves
and others was completely metamor.
pho-d by the town police, who arrrs-
ted tw of the captains and brought
them before Esq Killgore, who had them
bound over to keep the peace and pay
a fine of one dollar each and costs OF
prosecution. This ended the affair
The next morning everything was found
in usual good order.
hrs. Albert Lyman, residing in the
town, was treated to surprise party
on the anniversary OF her birth day,
Wednesday, Oct. 3Oth. Friends united
and furnished a sumptuous dinner, and
presented their tokens of regard quite
surprising Mrs. L., who in the goodness
of her nature received 1t very kindly.
The Greenback party made demon
stration at the hotel in Newport on
Saturday evening last. The Elmira
Band was employed to rally the voters
The band did its part well but the
speakers failed to interest the people
sufficiently to keep them together long
enough to hear all they had to say.
The first speaker aimed At subverting
Senator Bayard's views on the curen
cy, but failed, We think, to conviact
any one whose mind was not previous
ly made up on this question.
At the Methodist church, Newport,
the people began to assemble at an
early hour on Sunday morning, to in
spect and test the musical powers o
the new organ, purchased by the pas
tor, Rev. H. s. Thompson, and J. Law
renee Booth, out Of the funds contribu
ted for that purpose, for the audience
room. 1t is a twelve stop organ, style
l07 Clough & Warren make. 1t is a
fine tuned instrument # plain finish,
and an acquisition to the musin of the
church. A choir is being organized
under the leadership of J. Lawrence
Booth. 1t is hoped that harmony OF
action as we'll as harmony in music
will be maintained in this praise
worthy undertaking.
Rev. DR.. Caldwell, pastor of St
Paul's M. K. Church, of Whining
ton, preached a very able dis
course at Stanton M. 4. church on Sun
day afternoon from Psalm 70, LIST verse
The Rev. gentleman held his audienc'
enchanted while he unfolded h,
meaning of Gods name. Showing how
the name Jehovah Isl lsacredly regarde'
by the Jews, and how disclosed by the
vondrous works of God as displayed il
nature, and how confirmed by grace
in the manifestation Of Christ. No doub
that name is glorified in the hearts o
those who were privileged to hear tn,
discourse.
Captain Crammer (whose family re
side in NewporD left Baltimore some
days before the great storm recently
on schooner bound to Bermuda
Not being heard from fears were enter
tanned by his family and friends tina
he had shared an unfortunate tie, has
reported to his wife by letter that the
vessel on which he sailed was wrecked
off Cape Hateras, during the storm bn
the crew were saved, and he is now il
Norfolk safe. This is consolation t.
the captains friends. b.

THE NEW RESERvOIR.
Its Completion asA fn:i Capacity
An Iusmense and Useless Waste
a Spring BasiW 10 be Erected.

The Southern compartment Of the
new basin being completed, and the
work Of filling having been successfully
performed, everything is working as
satisfactorily as could be desired. The
basin when iuil reaches in heighth up
TO within foot and a half Of the cop
ing, having = capacity of So 3ls,o 900
gallons The water ispumped into the
northern department, and from there
runs over the overflow into the south
-rn compartment, from wlsnce it is let
into the city by the outlet Of this com
partment. The water by this admira-
BILE arrangement has time to settle and
become purified before using.
Under the Southern, as is tn. case
with the Northern basin, there are
drain pipes laid, through which the
spring water from the hills above are
carried, and i. emptied into Shipley
run There an average of $1,000 gal,
Ions daily find egress through these
pipes, which by a systematic manner OF
meas rement is carefully recorded and
compared with that Of the preceding
days. In case Of leakage In basin, the
fact could ba known alhiest innedi-
ately and tho extent Of the leak could bs
learned as we were informed, "up to
within q thousandth part of a gallon u
This great quantity Of pure spring
water which now goes to waste, should
be utilized. There is some talk Of erect
ing small reservoir on Adams street
for the purpose Of receiving this waste
and having the new pumps to force thu
water from this reservoir into the Eighth
street basin, where it may find Quite
into the city. This should be done anc
at as early an hour as possible.

Birmius ham Paper Mills Burned.

A dispatch from New Haven, Conn,
says In bale of jute butts thrown into
cutter in the extensive Paper mills OF
Wilkinson Brothers & Co., in Birming-
ham, late this afternoon, was a piece OF
iron, which, in contact with the knives,
ignited the jute. The cutting-room was
full of inflammable material, and these
at once were in flames. The fire spread
rapidly, and in very short time all
the buildings We're burning. The work
men had barely time to escape. A gen,
.eral alarm brought all the people Of the
village, and considerable stock was
saved. The buildings were destroyed
and with them the Morgan Curtis House
and part Of a sawmill near by. The
loss is about 5000, 600, on which is in,
surance of sl25, 900 in 40 or so com
panies. One hundred persons arr
thrown out of employment.

Is the Strawberry Wholesome?

Some people can digest anything. The
ostrich enjoys iron spikes and barrel
hoops. awberries to the great majority
of people are certainly wholesome, or at
least not directly injurious, but that they
are universally wholesome and unequal
led by any other fruit, as it is claimed we
deny; Many people cannot eat them at
all. We do not allude only to persons
liable to attacks of gout, or skin diseases,
to whom strawberries are almost poison
Gus, but to those who are in the enjoy
ment of general good health. They seem
to affect the tissues and excite the blood,
producing pimples, blotches and even
bois. We saw young lady, a belle, at
fashionable watering place, three or
four years ago, who was obliged, much
to her discontinue to confine herself to
her room for ten days from eating a
plate of Strawberries in the evening -
And we have known of many others
who were forced to abstain from their
enjoyment altogether forthe same reason.

the session now he is paid by check
each month for $500, filled to order, sent
TO his residence. Almost all other officers
of the Government have had their sala-
ries raised to an extent that would sur
prise the people. In 1851 the nation was
rich and out of debt, comparatively; now
it is laboring under burden of debt that
has taxed every industry nearly out Of
existence, and taken from the poor little
State of Delaware s15,OO0,OOO of dollars
in fifteen years. 1t is not creditable to
congressman that they should continue
the national extravaganza under the
circumstances. At least $4,000, 900 less
than we expended last year ought to be
made to meet every necessary expense.

THE new legal tender silver dollar is
being rapidly bought up for pocket
pieces. In New York the importers
have to buy gold to pay duties because of
the insane prejudice of the old fraud in
the Treasury, Sherman, refusing to pay
out the silver dollars until he has enough
on hand to pay all parties at once. He
thus keeps gold up and greenbacks below
par. The merchants are offering green
backs or 995 cents in gold for silver dol
lars to pay duties.
