LETTER FROM DELA WARE CITY.
''YOung ROgie'' 20 the Reseue-A
Farewell Shot 10 j. d..
Special Correspondence Of the Republican.


Special Correspondence of the Republican.
| DELAWARE CRY, Feb. 9.-EDIroRs on
DAILY REPUBLIcAN:-In your issue Of
Feb. 9Th, we notice an article by your
correspondent J. G. headed a parting
salute TO snap-Fogie. Old Fogie in an
issue of few days previous, had in as
mild away as possible corrected a num-
her Of misstatements made by ]. G.. in
several previous articles, published in
your paper; in conclusion of Old d-Fogie's
article, he said that he would reply to
10 more Of J. G's letters; we now beg
leave for little of your space to an
swer this last letter Of J. G., and with
this will bid him adieu. AS we feel
that the letters of ]. G.. have q ten.
dency to do us positive harm, please
allow us to use our own language in
commendation, John G.'s articles are
almost invariably made up of misstats-
ments and nonsense, nor has any Der.
son ever residing in our city done as
much to retard our growth and pros
perity, as his libelous and nonsensical
newspaper articles; he is continually
scrihbling upon subjects of which
neither he nor his informsrs know any
thing about. In his last article entitled
"A parting salute to Snap-Fogie," he
reiterstes the same false statements he
had previously made. The mans head
seems so hard and thick that the light
Of truth wilt not penetrate it. He says
that if she is correctly informed in re-
gard to the dry dock, etc." We say
that he ls not correctly informed upon
either that, or the other subjects upon
which he has been writing, and the
more he writes the more lie shows his
ignorance. Old-Fogie did not state in
his article that himself and others had
offered land for sale, but that the Land
Association had done so. We would say
for his enlightenment that Old-Fsgis
informs me that he aud Snap are not
one and the same, therefore, J. G. in
forming the compound Snap.Fogie, has
again ''gone to sea-" ASH. G. is so
persistent in his laborsd assertions in
regard to the fabulous prices asked for
land, several old-fogiss would like the
gentleman to produce his dates, and
figures asked for the land, "fgures will
not lie." A member ofthe Land Asso.
citation has authorized me to say that
J. q. in his statements in reference to
that association has never given sim
gle correct statement, but they have
been utterly false in every particular.
He evidently obtains his information
from lot of idle senseless gossips.-
ALI Of our sensible citizens deem the
articles not only false and ridiculous,
but positively hurtful to our growth
and prosperity. As the people of Will
mington and Nsw Castle have better
and more extended acquaintance with
your correspondent J. G.. further COM
msnt is unnecessary. l am neither
Snap" nor "Old Fogie" hut am
Yours respectfully,
YoUNG-FoGIB.

lee, and Ice Firm Oh ange.

On Monday the Wilmington Ice and
Coal Company carried on for several
years by Messrs. Conrow & Co., sold all
their rights, title and interest to the
Walton Brothers, also ice dealers Of
this city. The ice house over Third
street bridge and another up the Chris
tiaua near Newport were also sold.-
The Messrs. Conrow will however carry
on the wholesale ice trade they having
already had about 10000 tons of ice
harvested on the Kennebac river. The
Walton Brothers are also having ice
saved on the Kennebec.
Jacob Pusey is not bothering himself
about ioe either here or on the Kenne-
bee, as he has stored $4,000 to $1,000
tons OF ice in his ice heuses a few miles
above Coatesville, he having gathered
it year ago. 1t is thought that ice
will be about fifty per cent. higher the
coming summer than it was last sum-

{ aspect Of affairs in Europe. The
spalches printed this morning from
Rndon are regarded as exceedingly
tnifcant, slnce they would not have
tn made public, except to excite a
Bling against Russia and in support
Englasd. The belief among the lega-
is that Russia is looking to a cor
understanding with France, and
1t as 10 the latter, the question OF
with Germany is one now receiving
fy serious attention at the hands of

Opposed 60 High Tolls.

The Wilmington and Great Valley
Turnpike, commences at the Philadel-
phia Turnpike and what is called Elliot
avenue, where st. Johns Episcopal
Church is located, and runs from that
point northward up through Brandy
wine Hundred towards West Chester.
and terminates at or near the State line
1etween Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Thera is but one toll gate on the road,
but for some years past there has been
l general complaint that the tolls are
V"rv high, the Jsssup and Moore paper
teams alone, it is said paying $1,000
annually TO the company. AS this was
the only available road by which a
LAls5 pTn0a Of the citi2ans of Brandy
wllv Hn2tFed, and parts of Delaware
and Chester Counties, could reach Will
mtngtol, the road is supposed to have
beGoHa regular BONANZA to the stock
holders, and hencs an effort is being
maize to have tolls reduced; with this
7ad IN vi@w number Of interested citi-
z4ns sOu5 time sgO waited upon the
officers Of tGe company and requested
reduction in toll. In due time the an
swer to this request was returned,
and now general meeting of the citi-
z3ns Of Brandywine Hundred is called
at the Hotel Of Q. II. Parry, near the
northern end Of the Pike, on Saturday
next, at 7 o'clock, for the purpose Of
considering the answer OF the officers
OF the Turnpike Company, and making

"ARE YE THERE, MORTALITY ?"
The Popular Micks and Their
Friends spend an Agreeable
Evening Together. at Webster
Dancfng Academy.

The last reception previous to tn
Lenten season was given by the Popu
lar Micks' Assembly, last evening, i
Webster's Dancing Academy, it bsin
the third anniversary of their organiza
tion, and although the gentlemen hav
ing the affair in charge had promise,
something above the average, yet thos
who had the pleasure of participating
were agreeably surprised at the excel
lent manner in which everything hat
been arranged for their comfort anC
amusement. The Micks', by the ex
cellent manner in which their previous
entertainments were managed, gained
for themselves many friends and ad
mirers, and this accounts for the large
assemblage of the youth and beauty o
Wilmington last evening. Precisely a.
10 o'clock the orchestra, under thu
direction of Prof. Richie, struck up (
medley composed expressly for the oc
casion, the first selection of which wal
the popular air, care Ye There, Mori
arity :" and as its soul cheering strains
reverberated:through the Academy, tbs
grand promenade, headed by haster o
Ceremonies, Jas. T. Early, accompanied
by his "ladye fair" Miss Minnie Tag
gart, entered the ballroom. They were
followed by Floor Manager, H. A. Duffy
with Miss Lizzie Cusick, and his As.
sistants, Charles A. Mullin with Miss
Sallie Price, D. A. McCullin with Miss
Annie McCullin, Of Philadelphia, and
John J. Haney and wife, and Secretary
James B. Hasson and lady. Fifty one
couple participated, and as the novel
and really difficult evolutions were per-
formed, this feature presented truly
beautiful scene, and reflected credit on
the Master of Ceremonies and his COM
panion, who no doubt had carefully
studied their parts, as everything NOV
ed smoothly aud with commendable
precision, and as those taking part
glided off into the may intricacies of a
waltz, the opinion was freely expressed
that it was the prettiest march ever led
in Webster's. At its conclusion, sets
we're formed and the ball set rolling by
the participants dancing the first quad
rille, "Welcome to our Third" About
y o'clock recess was taken, and all
present we're supplied with an abun-
dance of refreshments, dancing was
again resumed and kept up, with the
exception of one intermission, until
"brOad daylight when the entertain
mont closed by all dancing d quadrille,
dedicated to the "Mi3sng Mick" jovial
Billy" Carey, who is at present absent
from this city. The best of order and
decorum prevailed during the evening,
and the Popular Micks have added new
laurels to their already well earned
as caterers to those who de-
light in tripping the light fantastic.

PROTECTIVE EartR.

The Chicago "Tribune" considars
"the present prices of steel rails uunat
uraI and unjustifable." The Tribune i
notion of natural price probably i.
$3.50 ton, which is what its English
friends used to ask the American rail
roads until the tariff enabled US t.
make rails here and to force the pric z
down to $50 a ton. Protective tariffs
are unnatural in one 1ense, of course;
but so is a process of cultiva'ing fruits
by glal,ing. The business Of intelligent
human beings is to exercise their wits
in adapting nature to their own uses :.
