neighbor in meeting out the greatest tor.
tnre to bound boys and children generally.
There happened 10 be two bad oases of
frosted fest at the time Of the intense cold.
They we're promptly looked into by the
authorities and MS promptly published.
From these cases come all this noise OF
bad treatment, &e.
Without taking up either article
separately we venture the broad assertion
that not IN one single case has the truth
been told. Is it any wonder A respects-
ble man asserted that from 9 O'clock D.
M, the hour of the arrival OF the Times
man In the town, he was drunk three times
before 10 o'clock p. m. the same day.
Notwithstanding all the excitement,
preparation and threats of lyncbing, dis
cussed in the stores and hotels" no one
can be found who ever heard of the exist
ouce Of such cases as reported. Upon
count there is not even oue-ifth OF the
number oil boys among us froIi distance
as reported by the Times.
We have called upon some of the parties
whose neu as are phraded 10 give credit
to The stories aud three. four hH
give their dentals. air Ewing, who ID
Represented as being most active as bring
statement credited 10 him being read to

/ told hun only knew Of the two cases"
The fnding of the boy by DR.. Richards,
near Seaford, Is all false. The Doctor
makes this explanation About six years
ggo | found colored boy ut the Aims
house with badly frosted feet. His state
mont was that he lived with a mau back
of SeafoTd; that he was directed to get iu
his wood the wood was at the pile III the
yard heavy snow falling st the time.
The man went away from home George
played around aud failed to get in his
wood. Night coming on aud fearing
punishment, ne went to the straw stack
and hid himsslf with his feet out, remain
ing all night" Wherever any clue can
be found in most of the cases they were
back into the years agous.
Everybody knows Mr.. Paynter Frame
GARNER whose name looms up in these
sensations, lives at hcme. As many fat
turkeys and roast pigs have been eaten
under his roof as under that of any other
citizen in Sussex, and the kitchen fares as
nicely as the dining room, as does any
other mans in this county. Ali of them
have sn abundance TO eat and good solid
bed Not half the free citizens OF Sussex
live any better than Mr. Francis laborers.
The case of Mr. Frame is thing of the
past and different from representation.
II is blissful ignorance man has lived
in for 40 years WHO ls just enlightened by
this drunken report as to the kind OF
people he wgs born and raised among.
We cut this short by branding this whole
statement, with two exceptions such as
might be found in say community, and
they exaggerated aud colored 10 the
hiehest) us batch OF infamous
Misrepresentation made for no good
purpose. We are law-abiding, school,
sustaining, church-going people, and
among us no such state of things could

ACCIDENT ON THE ". d N.
s0me Freight Cars Thrown from The
Track and a Passenger Train De-

About o'clock Monday morning an acci-
dent occurred to freight train on the
Wilmington 81 Northern road, short dis
tsnc- above Waynesbure Junction, which
caused delay of about two hours to the
down psssenges train from Coatesville, due
here u, 8 o'clock. The freight was a
special, ard two engines were in use, one
in front aud the other in the rear. By the
accidental uncoupling of two of the GEN.
trial cara the train was separated, and the
foremost portion Stacking up, WAS run into
by the others, aud several cars were
thrown from the track. No one was hurt,
though the brakeman narrowly escaped.
The delay to the passenger train was
due to the fact that the conductor who
runs the freight train TO Ooatesville takes
the passenger train at that point. On
sccount of the wreck he could not reach
Ooatesville in time with his engine.

The Town GonnGil o. Dover on Friday
evening held T. irprtiHs aud adopted the
following resolutions, presented by Mr.
Nicholson:
Be il resoiged. That the Town Council of
the town Of Dover, representing the citizens
of said town, do hereby return most sincere
aud hearty thanks TO John p. Almond. ESQ.,,
Mayor of the city of Wilmington, for the
promptness with which he responded to their
appeal for relief, by dIspatching to their aid
several fire engines OF that clty; to the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company. who, through their obligng officer,
|. y. Mills, ESD. so generously placed special
train at their service, and to the conductor and
employees who SO speedily brought it to its des-
tinatiOn; and to the members Of the Washing
ton and Water Witch Steam Fire Engine Com
panies. and the Reliance Fire Company, for
the cheertulness and alacrity with which
they braved the inclemency of the weather to
stay the ravageR of confagration, which,
though serious enough in ITSELF threatened
at one time to involve other private property,
the county building and the State House in q
common ruin. The Council regret that their
fears, az proved by the result, had so greatly
exaggerated the danger as to cause to the fire
companies needless labor and exposure but
their services are as fully appreciated as they
would have been had the situation been diff
ferent from what it was upon their arrival
g. II. b. DAY, President OF Council.
Attest: JAMES KIRK, Clerk.
The citizens of Dover have rewarded the
6remen of this city by sending them
check for 800, which was directed to, and
received by Chief Engineer razswell.
The breaking OF feed valve in the
Water Witch engine just as the train
entered Dover let ali the water out of the
boiler, and rendered the engine unable to
go into service until the break was stopped
up, and warm water had been procured TO
fill the boiler. The hose of the Water
Witch WAS used during the interval by the
Washington Company The engineer had
fired up at townsend and would have
been ready at once, but for the misfortune

and then, when they went to clinch, there
wasn't one of the is kind enough to try to
