A New Kind of Casabianca.

It is a boy that can stay at his post
as long as there is any use of his hold
ing it, that is not afraid of threat nor
the presence of violence, and keeps his
work resoIutely in hand so long as there
is work to do. This is what is reported
Of August Doudel, the brave little tele-
graph operator who WAS shut up in the
Pittsburg telegraph Office on Saturday
night. He kept on telegraphing, doing
his duty, without the slightest regard
to the mob surrounding him. They
could not drive him away so long as
the connecting wires responded to his
hand. When at last they fired the
building, he quietly, and with touch
of humoE, sent his last message. Fires
too hot. Good night" :" and got away in
time, showing himself to be as sensible
as brave. Obedience to order and dis
cipline were never more needed than
now, and it is noble thing to die at
ones post, if thereby a trust is kept
that saves other lives or keeps destruc-
tion or rapine at bay. But to hit it as
accurately as this boy has done, to care
nothing for the risk Of life so long as
his magnets worked and he could send
intelligent replies over the wires, and
then to know when to quit, makes us
confess that the modern Casabianca is
great improvement over the Old
PHILADELPHIA Ledger.

CORRESPONDENCE.
Special to the Gdsette.
DOVER, DEL, April Is, 1873.
On Saturday afternoon last two young
men of this town named Marion Green
and William H. Wheeler, were drowned
in Shapespeare's Mill Pond near this
place. 1t appears that party of young
men numbering eight altogether borrow
ed a sail boat owned by some gentlemen
of this town, and started up the pond the
breeze being pretty stiff and fiawy, with
the sail reefed; after they had reached
the head of the pond the breeze having to
some extent, diedout, the party shook
the reef out Of the sail and threw over
board their movable ballast, against the
wishes of the more experienced of the
party. The boat made good sailing under
the light breeze, and when the dam was
reached, it was deemed perfectly safe to
wear the boat in place of going about,
but while performing the manouvre, a
flaw struck the boat causing her TO iibe
suddenly, and in considerable water
This frightened the occupants, mostly
greenhorns, and they at once sprang
up, causing the boat TO ,lurch and
fill to the gunwale, and founder imme-
diately. All the party were thrown in
TO the water, and four of them, Edalbert
Stockwell, Clayton Fisher, Green and
Wheeler, started at once to swim for
shore about one hundred yards off; the
other four clinging TO the boat which
was up. Stockwell was the first to strike
the shore, followed closely by Fisher
some distance off. Wheeler was then
about twenty yards from shore Swim
ming easily apparently all right, and
Green had disappeared. Stockwell at
once started for boat to take off those
who We're clinging to the bottom of the
overturned boat, supposing Wheeler to
be all right, and Fisher laid down on the
beach exhausted
a moment after Stockwell had left,
Fisher saw wheeler sink scarcely ten
yard from shore. One OF the young men
who had clung to the boat, saw Green
sink just before Stockwell struck
the shore. Stockwell proceeded TO the
boat he had seen, and took off the four
Walter s. Butler, Robert Van Dyke, and
Noble Rolfe. who had clung to the boat
The party Immediately started for the
town sending the alarm ahead of them.
A crowd was soon collected on the
banks of the pond, but nothing could be
done, until graphing irons could be
forged by a blacksmith. The boat upset
about half past three o'clock, but it was
at least two hours before anything was
done toward recovering the bodies, and
it was six O'clock before the first body
that of Green, was found. The graphing
was continued but it was nine O'Clock
before Wheeler's body was found. The
affair cast a gloom over the entire com
munity both being very promising young
men.
| Various theories as TO the cause of tho
drowning have been afloat, rs both the
young men We're excellent swimmers
being perfectly capable of covering
twenty times the distance they had To
swim TO reach shore, but the most prob
able is that the arch enemy.of swimmers
cramp, seized them.
A Coroner's inquest was held on Sun
day and a verdict of accidental dro wn
ing rendered.

some of the dealers did so with very bad

before going to bed, and some of the best
church mem bers in town have done the

The closing of the stores was not

places for their customary smoke. They
were then compelled to 60 to the drug
