VICTOR Emanuel, king of Italy,
Is dead. lie died at Rome ON the 9th
inst, of military fever For fifteen
years the name of Victor Emanuel has
been name that was to be feared
and loved in all Italy, and in fact
throughout all Europe.
None of the European monarchs
have been more considerate of the in
terests Of their subjects, or SO perfectly
just in all that pertained to kingly
prerogative, than the now dead king
of Italy. Upon his accession to the
kingdom he found Italy in q coneition
Of turmoil, with only handful of loyal
subjects, which were increased to TO-
100000 by uniting Piedmont, the
Sicilies and several Of the Papal states
to the kingdom. Count Cayour was
the great diplomatist of the kingdom,
and Garibaldi the power in the field
to make united people of the various
peoples coming under the popular flag
Eic' or Emanuel made radical changes
IN the government of his kingdom, and
curtailed the power of the Pope to
an extent that resulted IN his excom-
munication from the church His son,
Prince Humbert, succeeds his father
upon the throne.

Tue THIRTEEN greenbackers in the
legislature swallowed the democratic
party on the occasion Of the organiza-
ton of the assembly. The democrats
effected an alliance with the green
hackers, whereby Mr. Barrows, of
Chippewa Falls was elected Speaker
The minor positions are pretty we'll
filled with grecnbackrs, which makes
old Democracy which "neyer surrend-
ers' look little down In the mouth.
Well, We are satisfied, there have been
chosen good corps of officers and, the
people ought not to complain.

THE first gresnback ever issued,
whish was five dollar bill, dated
March, 10 1852, and marked : Series
\, No. l." turned up lately in ma
tional bank IN Nashville, Tennessee.
1t has been framed and will be pre-
served as curiosity for coming gener-
atoms to wonder at Of course the
Tennessee Historical Society, the for
tunate pOsssssor of the memento, is to
be congratulated upon having what
will even be a curio sity of finance, and
a relic of one of the most memorable
periods of Ameriecn history 1t now
remains for some wide-awakc patriot to
fasten on the last greenback issued
and circulated, and frame it for pos
terity to stretch its eyes at. The first
greenback cost its proprietor but FIVE
dollars. and is typical of the first care
less step in the mire. The last green
back will have cost the people and the
resources of the country an untold sum
of loss, talk, nonsense, wisdom, pow
erty. nerve and misery. 1t viii be
typical of many and long continued
struggles and founders to get out of
the mire. May the man soon be born

Col. E. L. Martin gave very interest
ing report on sugar beet culture and the
efforts of the committee appointed by the
Legislature (of which committee he is
an efficient member), to ascertain the
practicabilty ofestablishing that industry
in Delaware. The highest prize, $75,
offered by that committee, will go to
South Murderbill Hd., for the most sue
cessful effort, the result of which was far
ahead of the most sanguine expectations
and ahead of the results achieved in
France, where the largest manufactures
of beet sugar exist; IA per cent. OF sugar
being obtained from the samples which
would give 3 tons of sugar per acre.
Several other samples was analyzed, and
showed over 10 per cent. of sugar. 1t is
hoped that these results will lead to the
establishment of manufactures and the
extensive culture of the sugar beet.

The concert at tue Grand Opera House,
on Saturday evening, by Carl Sentz's
Military Band, was undoubtedly the
finest musical performance ever given in
this city. The programme included some
of the choicest operate gems, executed
with a precision and charming effect
that was truly wonderful. The band
comprised twenty pieces, and each per-
former was evidently an artist of pro-
nounced ability. The vocal selections
announced to be given by Madame M on
tejo were excellently rendered by SUBJ
stitute, the Madame having been detain-
ed in Philadelphia by sickness. Tho
audience was rather small, but one more

Another Railroad RumOr.
A NEW CONNECTION PROPOSED IN
WHICH THE READING ROAD is To
HAVE A HAND.

NEW CONNECTION PROPOSED IN
WHICH THE READISG ROAD is TO
HAVE A HAND.
Reports have been current of propo-
sition TO arrange a new through connecting
railroad from New York to Baltimore,
the proposed line to include the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, some 81 miles,
to the Bound Brook Railroad, thence by
that line some 80 miles to the Nor h
Pennsylvania Railroad, thence by that
road some n miles to the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad, thence by that
road and the Junction Railroad some four
or five miles to the Philadelphia, Will
mineton and Baltimore Railroad. 1t has
not been definitely determined whether
the Reading Railroad link Of the proposed
line will c,nnect with the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad near
Gray's Ferry, on the outskirts of Phia-
delphia, OF whether it will extend down
the Readings Delaware branch road to
Lamokin, hear Chester, some 10 miles
from that roads point of connection with
| the North Penn Railroad. The parties
connected with the proposi ion are not
themselves definitely informed as to the
details of any arrangement. Nothing has
yet been committed to paper, nor has a
spade struck to make the necessary con-
nee ion between the Reading and the
Nor,h Penn roads. The cost and labor
necessary to this connection are not great
but still the little to be done has not yet
been commenced. Il is understood how
ever, that the Read ng Railroad Company
has assumed to do it, III the tempora'y y
fashion necessary TO start the experiment.
The Reading road has no farther coDnec-
ton with the proposed enterprise than
that it has consented to receive all The
business brought 10 it at the point of
junction with the North Pennsylvania
Railroad, or the traffic that may be given
| i: by the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Company from the
South, and to deliver the same received
| from each to the other, and to pro rate, II
carried The Readings whole length ofline
| thence TO LamOkin, and for fixed charge
| If carried the shorter distance Of three or
| four miles from Belmont 10 and from the
North Penn junction. When the Read
ing makes connection with the North
Penn road 1t establishes a winter railroad
outlet Tor its coal in the New York mar
ket, and outside of any control Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This
is matter deemed of considerable i'm
portance to the Reading Railroad Com
panv, and to the extent of this anticipated
trade would 1t profit all the lines in the
proposed line of road thence northward
the North Penn, the Bound Brook, and
the Central of New Jersey.

New Castle Letter.
NEW CASTLE, Dec. 16, 1873.

NEW CASTLE, Dec. 16, 1873.
Saturday evening, owing TO the rain,
was very fiat. In fact few Others than
than those forced to be out were upon
the streets. Thep police report that things
were in such a state that one of their
number was forced to consult an alma
nae to satisfy himself that it was Satur-
day.
Yesterday, despite the rain, our colored
cit'zens had big day in dedicatlns their
new brick church, on Vine street.
The residents along Union street,
above Delaware, were startled yesterday
afternoon by the cries of police po-
lice! 1t seems that Lewis Jones (col.)
had been carrying matters with high
hand around his house, and reached a
climax by attacking and beating his
wife in cruel and outrageous manner.
The proper warrants We're sworn out be-
fore the M ayor, but Lewis had taken
time by the forelock and was missing
The fair in the school house Of Miss
l.. Gemmill, was in point Of attendance
and sales an entire success. The singing
of the children was a marked feature OF
the evening.
The annual fair and festival of st.
Peters church will open next week. The
ladies having the matter in hand have a
large experience in catering TO the tastes
of the public, and we lock for grand
display of articles of ornament and
utility.
Saturday morning, whilst Mr.. Laboub
was driving young horse belonging to
his partner, Mr.. Eagley, along Ninth
street, below the railroad it stumbled and
fell, breaking its neck. The horse was
valued at not less than $175.
The reading room will be opened next
week. The many friends who have
thought of giving aid to the undertaking
should not be backward and let the OPP
portunity pass of doing great good to
many of our citizens.
