The Labor MeellnR.

1t was annou ced that the Knights
of Labor would hold meeting al
Fourth and Shipley streets last Satur-
day evening, and platform was erected
for TIE use OF the speakers. The First
Regiment Band was expected to be pres
ent and p. j Mcguire, Of New York,
had promised to be on hand as the prin-
cpal speaker of the evening. The
band failed to come, and Mr.. Mcguire
did not arrive, and about $50 o'clock
the meeting was called to order by Past
Officer NJ. Colwell, who introduced De
Witt C. Davis, of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Davis stated that he was a work
ing man, and made quite lengthy ad-
dress, in which he disclaimed any con-
nection with soCialistic or communistic
principles, but said that he was an ad.
vocate of the rights Of the wOrkingmen
against the encroachments Of capital.
He censured the wolkingmen for per.
mitting Jay Gould and the capitalists
cf this country to oppress them, and
sal that all the talk about the interests
of labor and capital being indentical
was mere bOsh.
He urged his hearers to organize for
the protection of their rights, and
thought the church made great mis-
take in not coming out fully on the side
Of the workingmen. He concluded by
saying that neither the Republican or
Democratic party we're allied to their
interests, and the only thing for the
people to do was the same as had been
done in New Jersey, where they com.
bined and de eated Robeson, with five
million dollars at his back, witha labor
candidate. He was followed by Mr..
McFeeley, Of Philadelphia, who made
a brief address, after which the meeting

On Saturday, the 1lth inst, Miss
Mary +. Vansant, of Mill Creek Hun.
dred, and daughter of Professor Van
SAINT, attained her eighteenth birthday,
but no notice of the event was taken by
the lady, and had it not been for outsida
friends the day would have passed by
as other days, as far as Miss Mary was
concerned. On the evening of the above
mentioned day the young lady was
sitting in room at the residence Of
John W. Worrell, where she resides,
when she heard footsteps, mingled with
sounds of laughter, approaching
the house. Her first thoughts were Of
tranps, and she may have been a little
frightened, but all fear soon vanished
when shs discovered that about one
hundred and fifty of her most intimate
friends and relatives comprised the
supposed tramps." The party con.
sisted of both male aud female, and
were from near and far, representing
Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
other places, who had come TO offer
the Congratulations upon this festive
occasion. They not only wished Miss
Mary many pleasant birthdays, but
presented her with large number Of
useful and valuable, as we'll as hand
some presents. Words cannot express
the surprise Of the lady, when she be-
held such gathering, but they soon
made her forget the unannOuncsd visit
by preparing at once to enjoy the even-
ing in a pleasant manner. Various
anusements were indnlged in and some
fine instrumental and vocal music lent
addi ional at ractions to the guests.
During the evening an abundance of
refreshments were Herved, and at a late
hour the party took their departure
after having spent delightful evening,
and the truth Of the above is vouched
for by A LOCKER ON

For several weeks past there has beer
considerable mysterious whispering
among the workmsn employed In thu
Christiana Rolling Mill, and 1t wa,
evident that something more than

ready to 20 out, when two Of his friends
came in and engaged him In converse

Mil marched up French street in a

to inquire the object Of their visit, while
Mrs. Barnes suggested that perhaps.

One of the workmen assured the lady
hat they had no cause to strike, and
asked Mr.. Barnes If he thought 1t any,
ways remarkable that his friends should
visit him. He replied that he did not,
but 1t was the first time no had ever
known Nc manyto come at once, still he
wanted them all to feel tina they were
perfectly welcome. After few min
utes spent in conversation, William X.

speech presented Mr.. Barnes on behalf
OF his fellow -workmen with handsome
gold hunting case watch and chain.
Mr.. Barnes W $ 10 com ,,letely taken by

to reply, and after standing for a min
ute or more with the watch in his hand,
thanked the men in n manner that
showed came from his heart.
The watch and chain are lS carats
fine, with full .jewelsd lever move
ment, and the inside of the case bears
