DRLAwADE Cry, Del, Jan. 6, 80.
MEssRs. GEORGE W. VERNON, & SoNs:-
There are some discrepancies in your
report Of the social game Of roquet
played on Tuesday last between the
Delaware City team and the rel owned
Darlington Bros, of Concordville, Del
aware County, Pa. In the first place,
it was the Darlington Brothers who
played the tight game, not the Della
ware City team; and further Oh your
reporter endeavors to make it appear
that our team hers havs at last met
their equals. Let us see now: Six
games were played, and the Delaware
City boys won five, and might have pos.
sibly won the sixth. The Pennsylva-
mia boys, however, distasteful it was to
them, were obliged to suffer white
washing in three of the games, neither
of them succeeding in making the bask-
ct. One of the Pennsylvania team had
a peculiar way of swinging his croquet
mallet with both arms between his
legs, which exceedingly amused the
many spectators present. The six
games played were only social, conse-
quently that ungraceful swinging of
the mallet was permitted.
In series OF match games, using the
mallet with both hands would be pro
hibited, as the rules of oroquete,
among professionals, will not admit or
allow of 1t. II reminds one very much
of the swinging Of large sledgs ham
mer in country smith shop. Our Del
aware City boys have never yet been
beaten; they do not propose to allow
any one to beat them, and they can
easily distance their competitors, no
matter how much they are embarrass-
ed by the unjust decisions Of umpires.
They have no desire, ii l am nightly
to play the tight game, which
is not at all,scientific, and merely played
by ladies to pass away time. II may be,
that our team might bs in
duced to play series Of match games,
the Darlington Bros,
and II they do, the Pennsylvania boys
may expect to got badly whitewashed.
Yours, &c. CONTRA.

Brisk at Police COurt last Might.
To force an entrance into police court
last evening the visitor was compelled
to undergo pressure Of half dozen
elbows to the square inch, so dense
ly packed were the spectators who had
gathered to witness the proceedings,
and inside the ratings where the wit.
nesses assembled it was mot much bet
ter.
The first case tried was one in which
the small boy figured extensively, FIVE
OF these necessary evils occupying .he
dock to answer the charge Of disorderly
conduct, preferred by the Wilmington
4 Northern Railroad Company.
II appeared from the evidence that q
number OF boys are in the habit Of tax
ing possession Of hand car belonging
to the company whenever an oppor-
tunity Is presented, and running IT up
and down the track at the imminent
risk of their own precious limbs, as
we'll as the property of the company.
They had been repeatedly warned by
the officers Of the road without avail,
and to break the business up these i've
were arrested.
His Honor fined the boys the costs In
the case and hell each of them in $l00
to keep the peace.
Another chapter Of the Megary assault
case, next on the list, Thomas Eaton,
Jacob Trusty and Emory Deacon all
colored, being the heroes in the chap
ter.
This assault occurred on the 10th of
November last, and was started by
couple Of colored men treading
on dog belonging to Mr.. Megary.
Mr.. M. demonstrating and the colored
men transferred their attentions to him
and his son, and in the melee which
ensued Mr.. Megary being very severely
handled and his son having part Of his
ear bitten off by one Of the men. Four
victims have already been sent over to
New Castle, to answer at Court for the
assault and at the hearing last night
Thomas Eaton being the only one iden-
titled by the witnesses he was sent to
keep them company under $500 bail,
while the other two were discharged.
Mira Hasson and M. Grady too re-
spectacle looking men next walked up
to the railing to answer the charge OF
assault and preferred by Patrick Hag-
gerty, but the prosecutor not appearing
the case was dismissed.
Thomas Percival very small boy
then ornamented the dock while officer
Chambers related how Thomas had a
peculiar psnchsnt for throwing stones
in the public street, the officer having
caught him in the act. The costs in
the case and $l00 peace bond will be
required before Thomas is privileged to
fight over another game Of marbles.

FACTS.

No doubt many of the readers OF tie
Pnor, more especially the farmers vii
recollect, a certain article signed by. Mr..
Henry Fricke, resident of the township
of Maaitowoc Rapids. Mr.. Fricke after
using Monitor Seeder" manufactured
by Van Brunt, Davis & Co., of Horizon,
Wis. for four seasons, felt called upon
to notify the public that he had traded
for 8 Van Brunt & Barber, as he had
trouble with the Monitor. The only
trouble having come to cur notice pre-
vious to his communication through tie
press, might have been the paying for
IT, We therefore wish to inform the
farming community that Mr.. Fricke did
not trade as he stated he had done, as he
was waited upon by couple of gentle
meu recently, one q prominent farmer
Of has township, and found him using
the Monitor as In seasons past. One Of
the gentlemen addressed him by asking,
"Well Fricke is not the Monitor the
seeder after all?" The reply was, Eyes. "
GLOW does it cultivated" The answer
was, Cant be beat" "Well how does
it sow?' GAS well as any machine in The
market, and in fact l don't want any bet
ter machine" 1t will certainly appear
Mr.. Fricke is downright liar or else be
has been wheedled into signing his name
to an article devised by the low cunning
of some would be shrewd dealer, who
hoped thereby to gain trade by so doing
At all events in either case Mr.. Fricke
shows he has no sense of honor, and that
truth and veracity is lacking in his men
tai organisation. We have been impell-
ed to make these facts known, so those
that may have taken stock in his COM
mrnication may fully understand the
matter and judge accordingly.
Respectfully yours,
BBINaER & Day.

Mr.. DECKER, of kewaunee county, has
been placed IN verD unenviable position
on account of the suspicious inseparable
from post mortem examination. The
examination of the stomach and intestines
of Mrs. Decker, by Prof. Bode, of Mil
waukee, and the absence of every indi-
cation that poison was administered,
should in justice to the parties concern
ed, receive the same publicity as the fact
that an inquest was being held. The
following clipped from the Fond du Lac
Commonwealth states the facts: sAt
the inquest held in the Decker case yes
terday, DR.. Bode, of Milwaukee-the
chemist to whom the stomach and liver
Of Mrs. Decker was submitted for analy-
sis-testified that he was unable to find
any traces of poison in those parts. The
inquest was continued two weeks for fur
thsr proof. 1t is becoming generally
manifest that the whole proceedings
were instigated through righteousness by
the party who argued the case before the
public, particularly through Lawyer
Marphy, of the Milwaukee Sentinel.

By notice published elsewhere it will
be seen that Manitowoc is taking some
steps toward securing female suffrage.
1t may be that conservatism is nothing
more than a jealous fear of innovation,
but there is no denying that woman is
most lovely when furthest from arrogant
strongmindedness. Man may admire a
woman masculine in her tastes and
strength of mind; he cannot love her.
One carrot understand the association of
that amiability which is the charm of the
far sex, with that virility which would
make them the rivals of man II public
affairs. We never yet heard good ar
gument in favor of woman's rights, and
We never expect to. The Woodhulls,
the Anthoays and the Stantons may de-
claim, but gallantry and not their argu-
ments make men fancy that they are Goa.
WINGED of the souniness Of their argu-
mants.

NORTH SIDEIMPROVEMENTS

Some weeks ago we mentioned the fact
that business man of the north side was
making negotiations for the erection of a
brick block. The gentleman referred to
was Mr.. Torrison, and he has now SO far
perfected arrangements that We are at
liberty to make public the project. The
building will occupy the site of that to
the west of his present store, and will be
90xlOO, and three stories high. The up
per floors will be used as offices. 1t will
front on Eighth street, and the building
now used as the express Office, millinery
and jewelry store will be moved to the
north of Commercial street.
Mr.. Charles Book is also making ne
gotiations for the purchase of the vacant
lots to the north of his store. II he sue.
ceeds In this, he will erect two brick
buildings similar to that now used by
him as store and dwelling. In any
event he intends to enlarge his present
store, which is at present much too small
for his business. The north side will
soon be booming.

TIE evening express had close call
on Friday last few miles south of Port
Washington. The heat of Friday had
produced quite an expansion of the rails
AMI as not enough allowance was made
foi this where the rails met, both rails
wae bent so as 10 form sharp curve.
The engineer, Michael Donohue, saw I'll e
detect in the track aud instantly applied
the cir brakes, reversed the engine and
himself and fireman jumped from the
locomotive. The air brake saved the
train, nothing beside the locomotive and
tender going of the track except the for
ward wheels of the baggage Car. The
locomotive was turned almost completely
over and the cab was badly wrecked. It
was narrow escape for the engineer and
fireman, and but for the air brakes ii
would be very had wreck.
