Efforts are being made to have the pc It
office removed to the office IN the Old

Whether the effort will succeed OF not Is
as yet a little uncertain. There is also u
talk of converting the old court room into
a market house.
The next event Of Importance to take
place here is the city election which comes
oil in April, when there will be mayor,
three members of Council, city treasurer
and an assessor to elect. As yet We have
heard OF no names mentioned for any of
the city offices, but as our citizens don't
often get warmed up till within few days
of the election, there is plenty OF time to
have tickets enough in the field to make
the election an exciting one. Ills Honor

serve another term, and the people could
go a good way and fare worse in the selec-
ton of a candidate.

plan they could, in lieu thereof, be paid

CRUELTY TO CHILDRl.S.
DR.. OTIS Sermon in Phiiadc l.hia
Yesterday-Practica ILLUSTRATIONS.

The Rev. ]. NJ. p. Otis, formerly VI this
city, preached yesterday afternoon al the
Chambers Memorial Church, Broad and
SAMSON streets, Philadelphia, on Cruelty
to Children, :" his text being from the Goth
verse of the LXXIV Psalm, 1.-THE dark
pieces of the earth are full of the habita-
tons OF cruelty"
my object, said the preacher, sis to
try and interest all | can in the work OF
the Pennsylvania Society for the Protec-
ton OF Children from Cruelty" lie had
once thought this society very nice SEN
timental sort of thing, but on attending
its annual meeting he had learned better.
DR.. OTIS gave some statistics OF the
society and told of the growth OF like
institutions in Europe. With some
apology he exhibited some articles that
had been used in torturing children
First came an ugly billet of rough wood
about two feet long, having several nails
driven through it ingeniously so as to
project in all directions. "With this, !"
said DR.. Otis, "a cruel father was in the
habit of beating his S-year-old son, so
that when the poor child was rescued his
flesh was full of punctures made by the
spikes"
Showing a heavy club the Doctor said {:
''ln this case the two parents combined.
First, the wretched child was beaten on
the mouth with the heel of heavy shoe,
then an iron stove-lifter was applied to
his head, and when the officers of the law
interfered the father was using the club
OH the unfortunate's shoulders" Finally
there was presented frightful instru-
ment OF torture recalling the Russian
knOut. To Il handle some two feet long
was attached leather scourge at least
four feet long, in the middle an incl in
diameter and tapering at each end like Il
snake. Its history was that before it fell
into the society's hands brute had with
il cut SO gashes on the naked back of his
l4-year-old daughter.
The speaker closed with recommended
ton of the society's work to all Christian
people, as work as broad as the Lords
prayer and able to embrace all sects.

PAY OF LEVY COURTNEY.
New Castle County Farmers wiao
Think That "A Days Pay is worth u
Days Work

Dhy's WORK.
Extracts from the minutes of the meet
ing of Pomona Grange of New Castle
county held at Harmony Grange Hall,
March ID, 1881.
WHEREAS, The farmers of New Castle
county find that they are heavily burthened
by the taxation that is imposed upon them by
their servants the members of the Levy
Court road commissioners, whose duty it is to
direct what amount of money shall be col
lected for county purposes-the most of
which money comes out of the hard earned
pittance of the farmer. And
WHEREAS, The example set by the membr rs
OF the Levy and other courts. of sitting from
three to five hours per day, and ut the SAME
time getting for these short hours from three
to i've times as much money Az the most n-
dustrious farmer can earn by working from Il
to IL hours per day and
WHEREAS, Many OF the members
OF the Levy Court are farmers, let
us ask them, "Do they, where they hire IL
man ON their farm and pay but rs cents or a
~ per day, not require that such labOrer
shall work from sun to sun? If no, are their
services M members OF the Levy
court worth 80 much greater u
At al work for himself and on his own farm ever
think that he earned one half per day what
they get as members of the Levy Court, with
out including mileage? Now therefore,
Resolced, That il is the sense of this
Pomona grange OF New Castle county that
the sessions Of our Superior and Levy Courts
should commence at y O'Clock H. IN. and con-
tihue until p. m. and commence at . p. IN.
and remain i'll session until p. III. by which
means farmers and others who are required
to leave their business ut any sacrifice, would
not be required to leave their business more
than half AZ many days AZ they now are
required and this ut u rate of pay that none
OF the members of either court would be
willing to give even their short hours Of
service for.
Resolced, Further. that, AZ the great part
OF the money raised by taxation for both
State and county comes from the products of
the farmers labor, it is about time they not
only made their ideas public, but they will
use all honorable means to make the desired
change. As the farmers are the majority OF
the voters, they have it in their power to
remedy the evil complained of and that they
will exercise the same.
Resolced, That this preamble and resou-
tons be published.

With the people, the railroad question
in Delaware ha about settled down to
this. They believe that the change OF
management III the Philadelphia. VIII

better feeling between the producers and
the ca riers than has existed i'll the past,
and that the new management will show
liberal spirit toward encouraging the
fruit growing interest of the peninsula.
AT the same time, the people do not
object to a competing line across the

posing, of course, that there is trade
enough to pay two roads, and it il
generally acknowledged that there is.
