Fruit and Vegetable THIEVES

For some time past Randolph Peters,
fruit grower and nurseryman, on the
Hares Corner Road, has been miss
ing large quantities of pears. Several
days ago one of his employees came up
with three men in. the pear orchard, apd
the tresspassers coolly walked away. TAX
ing with them in bags about three BUSH
els of pears valued at $3.50 per bushel.
On Thursday while Mr.. Peters was alb
sent, his foreman saw a man moving
about in the orchard, and started for him,
when the man dropped his bag, jumped
over into an adjoining field and ran
away. But the foreman, Mr.. Lund, be-
ing feet of foot, chased the fellow, cap
tured him, and brought him back TO
where the bag was lying. The bag was
examined and found to be well filled
with fine heads of cabbage, sweet corn
and beans. The man begged so strongly
not to be sent to New Castle that he was
let off with severe reprimand. He said
he lived on King street, Wilmington.
The bag is good three bushel grain bag,
marked "B. K. Lee," and the owner can
obtain it by calling on Mr.. Peters.

[For the @ azette.1

We are glad to see that the City Coun-
Gil is moving in the right direction.
First, in doing away with an office that
was not wanted, and ought not to have
been made; second, and lowering the sal
ary of the Engineer Of the Water Works;
third, that the superintendent and physi-
can to the City Hospital be done away
with. These three things are steps in the
right way and we hope this will continue.
By these three oper rations we save the
salaries of three Offices, which were not Of
any use to the city, and whatever rent
can be got for the hospital added to the
salaries saved will make quite an item
and the office of Registrar can be dis
pensed with too, by attaching it to the
Engineer Department. Please keep on
in well doing and you will have the good
wishes of all honest men. A.

VIEWS OF GEN. MERRITT ON THE PoLITI-
CAL SITUATION IN NEW YoRK-BUT-
LER's MANIPULATION OF THE SOLDIERS
HOME FUNDS, &c.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27-Gen. Merritt,
collector of the port of New York, came
here yesterday on Official business and
returned to-day. In conversation on the
political situation, Gen. Merritt said that
the greenback movement has made much
more formidable progress in New York
than people have any idea of. The
greenback newspaper organ is printed in
such prodigions quantities that a copy
finds its way into the hands of every
voter in the State.
Gen. .Merrittsaysinc consequence of this
politics In New York are just now in a
very uncertain condition, and it is a bold
man who will undertake to propbesy the
result of the November election. 1t the
republicans have majority in the Legis-
lature he has no doubt that Senator
Conkling will be reelected; but if the
greenbackers should happen to hold the
balance of power ex-senator Fenton, he
thinks, would be very prominent. Mr..
Fenton's trimming qualities are of very
high order, and Gen. Merritt might have
added that he would find no difficulty in
placing himself on any platform.
BUTLER AND THE SOLDIERS HOMES.
Some of the opponents of Gen. Butler
have been poKing around the treasury to
discover what they can concerning his
management of the finances of the differ
ent 'soldiers' homes" throughout the
country, as he is The custodian of the
funds 1t has been ascertained that the
funds for the support of these institu
tions, aggregating very nearly 81 900 ,00l
a year, are drawn from the treasury II
quarterly installments on the warrant Of
Gen. Butler and placed to his credit il
the bank in Lowell where he keeps his
account. This money is then dlsburset
to the homes from time to time by Gen
Butler in such sums as may be needed
but the average balance which remained
in his hands at all times is over $140, 900

Classical education, or the knowledge
of ancienj and modern languages-as
Latin and creek, ,etc.ib absolutelynecessa-
ryfor professions men las clergymen, law
yers, physicians, and ali that want to
have any claim upon education.
The modern Languages, as English,
German, French, Spanish, ETC., are en-
tirely Indispensable, IN as much as they
render a mans education complete. But
not only absolute necessity or great ad-
vaniages ought to compel us, but the
marvellous brauty and elegance of Ian
guages should induce us to study and
compare them with each other. We
have it fully In our power to disclose
those hidden treasures, and to de-
velop and refresh our mind, AMI to en-
rich our memory with those precious
gems found in the study of Languages.
1t is true manifold are the tongues Qan-
guages) of men yet all of them (anclent
and modern) are Divine gifts, granted to
men, and, therefore, they are common
property which each one of us ought to
acquire as much as possible. If to ad-
mire and to study the beauty and laws of
nature was the intention of our Creator,
how much more ought we to consider
ourselves bound to enter Into. 1.-The secretsof
the study of languages which were even
to be the means of communicating with
the Godhead itself. Hence it stands to
reason how conducive the study of the
various languages m ust be to or how
great an influence it must have upon the
development of the human mind and
heart.
The above named gentleman is thor
oughly qualified to inpart such a knowl-
edge and education 10 our young men,
who either wish to become professional
or business men, or men of science, or
fit for any position in society. Some of
our most respectable citizens and lead
ing men have already put their SONS un-
der his care and instruction, which as
we hope, is not only an encouragement
for him in his hard work, but will also
be- an inducement to the rest of our citi-
zens. We would call your kind atten-
ton particularly to his useful German
and French conversation-classes. His
terms are very low and reasonable. For
information apply by letter or call at
