DEBd AWARE CITY.

Special Correspondence of State Journal
DELAWARE Cry, Feb 22.--As the life of
our business depends greatly upon the results
of navigation on the river and through Its
canal, we are rejoiced to see the Ericsson
boats resume their trips. Last Friday the
steamers Elizabeth and Whitdin passed
through the lock, bound to Philadelphia, both
with broken rudders after tedious journey,
having left Baltimore about the 18th. Thu
evening at O'Clock, the steamer ShriUer,
passed in, en- route for Baltimore.
The warm weather is causing the expectant
fishermen to make haste with Their knitting
and prepare for an early ''dip" i'll the harbol
Ind ''bucking" the lock will soon be in order.
1t is said that the lock tenders put on their
glasses every morning to look for the first
herring. No doubt they will be here i'll time
for Lent. Pike fishing through holes in the
ice, has been favorite pastime for several
weeks, but like the ice, is about worn out.
Protracted meetings at the NJ. E. Church is
suspended indefinitely.
Nearly three weeks ago. John Guthrie,
head nurse in the Philadelphia SMALLPOX
Hospital Cate printer and well known in
Wilmington came directly from the infected
department to this town went into every
store and dwelling to which he could gain
admittance declaring that he was not EN-
ployed in n contagious department. A letter
from the Philadelphia Board of Health proved

spite of this bad mans wicked design Qor
his purpose was apparent to sall-he having
shown decided ill-wlll through his letters to II

Trade Is brisking up. and our merchants are
smiling good-natuie eddy. Mr.. William Hines
has opened shoemaking OH Washington street
and il doing thriving business. He is an
industrious young man of sterling qualities
and deserves the success he is meeting with,
Nessrs. E. & G. Won Culiu, publishers of The
Kennel and FaH. are working full force,
and have orders for 60 days work ahead, we
are informed to-day.
The Belvile Seminary is soon to loose lts
very able and successful principal, much to
the regret of the pupils and their parents. 1t
ia hoped that the directors will i'll their next
selection be as fortunate as in the last
The town will lose good citizen, an indus
trious worker and Christian gentleman in
the person of Mr.. James Craig, who is to move
on his farm, near kirkwood, March 25th. May
good luck attend HIM.

Every Time.

A man, or even piece of machinery
that does its work right every time, is, we
think, very correctly judged valuable. "
And certainly none the less valuable is.any
article designed to relieve the ills of man
kind, and which does SO every time.

Senator Beek says that it is impossible to
have an honest Legislature 30 long as the
railroad statesmen are sent. No matter
whether they call themselves Democrats or
Republicans, they are not the representatives
of the people they are simply the agents of
monopolists, who seek by taxing the masses
to enrich themselves.
We pray that this Legislature will not ad-
journ without granting charter for the road;
failing all other plans to obtain your conf
dence, we name Victor DUPONT, j. Z. Cochran
and George z. Tybout, Or other trusted citi-
Zens of New Castle county, as corporators
with the necessary franchises, and permit the
enterprise, which is to unthrottle u.s. to go
on whenever the hard cash is willing to pay
for it.
Relief we tell you plainly is our demand,
and We believe all disinterested cilizens
within the State joins with us. If it cannot
be obtained where the railroad statesman
predominates, h must be eliminated. If Dem
ocrats prevent this, they must retire.
Ex. Prothonotary Bsasten moved the
adoption of the report of the committee,
including both the resolutions and the
address.
During the reading of the report Mr..
Smith interrupted by rising and denying
the right of ''the few persons assembled
to speak for the fruit growers of the State.
He said the p, W. & B. railroad increased
the value of our land and made the State
of Delaware what it is, and inveighed
against the step contemplated by the
association as one of base ingratitude.
He was followed by Samuel Townsend,
who pronounced his remarks nonsensicsl.
He wanted to see the Delaware railroad
succeed in business, but was down on the
Boston Yankees. He answered Mr..
Smiths speech with regard to land by
declaring that land was worth as much in
our State before the Delaware railroad
was built as it is now.
