AN ELABORATE BANQUET.
The General Assembly Fartakes OF
u Feast at the Hotel Richardson.
at the Expense OF the Pennsylva'
MIA Rail road.

DOVER DEL, March l, lSS3.-1mme-
diately after the guests of the Hotel
Richardson had partaken of their usual
evening meal, preparations were at
once begun for Il banquet to the lneln-
bers of the General Assembly, represen-
tativcs of the press and a few invited
guests, who had been notified of the
event by }. V. Massey, Esq, counsel for
the Delaware Division of the p, W. 4
B. Railroad, who was acting under in
structions from the corporation which
he represents.
Shortly before ten o'clock, everything
being in readiness, the invited guests,
who had assembled to the number of
about sixty, were invited into the spa
cious dining room uf this palace hotel,
and Immediately took seats at Il table
spread th' entire length Of the room and
filled with all the tempting viands usu-
ally found at a'gathering of this kind.
The bill of fare consisted Of oysters in
various styles, chicken and lobster sal
ads, beef tongue, cold ham, ETC., togetll-
er with huge dishes of fruit placed at
various points along the table
For desert, ice cream and frozen Gus
y
up, while the corks from champagne
bottles few IN every direction, and the
nlasses Of those who INDUCED in such
drinks were kept constantly filled. As
ii proof thai the "set OUT was fully en-
joych, it might be well to state that but
little was left for the walters to remove
and from the number of speeches that
followed, the courtesy ofthe Pennsylva-
nia Railroad Company will not soon be
forgotten.
Among the distinguished persons
present, outside of the Legislative body,
were Governor Stockley, Secretary of
State Causey, Benjamin Nields, Esq,
j. Austin Harrington, ESD, H. II. Pen.
nington, Esq, ex-RePresentative Cahall,
Clinton Williamson, Captain A. Kelley,
of the Harlan u Hollingsworth Com
pany, and others. After all had par
taken freely of the good things set be-
fore them, an hour or two was devoted
in offering toasts and making pretty
speeches. Among the speakers We're
Speaker of the House Bates, Speaker Of
the Senate Cooper, Governor StOckley,
Secretary of State Causcy Senators
Belts, Chandler, Mustard, and Repre-
sentaiivcs Jus'is, Cooch, Comcgys, Fra
ger, Benjamin Nields, Esq, d. V. Mas
sSry, and others :,
Thus the time was whiled away, and
during the remarks various important
topics, such AS increased representation,
constitutional convention, etc., were
touched upon, and quite anumber of
Jokes were told at the expense OF some
of the members present. Notwithstand-
ing that the evening was designed to be
one of pleasure, many important sug-
gestiOns were thrown out. anu their
weight will no doubt be- telt ere the
close of tho present session ot the Legis-
lature.

Last Wednesday night the chicken
house of Charles Sharpless, who resides
in Brandywine Hundred, near the old
nursery, was entered by thieves, who
killed and carried away thirty fine
fowls The thieves effected an entrance
by cutting through board about one
inch thick, and then killed the chick
ems in the pen There was large
pool of blood yet standing iii the morn
ing Another person in the vicinity
had several chickens stolen one night
this week, and it is evident the depre-
dations are committed by an organized
band of thieves. 1t would be well for
persons owning ..chickens to keep a
sharp lookout for these fellows, and ad-
minister dose of prevention in the
shape of some lead pills.

Boiler INSPECTOR.

The project to have n boiler inspector
appointed is meeting with considerable
opposition from most of our manutdctur
ing firms. Tie reason Of the opposition
j. that the hill places entirely too much
power in the hands ofthe inspector. The
bill is vaguely drawn and is loose in its
provisions. He would have unlimited
power under it even 30 far as to close
our large manufacturing establish ments
and throw hundreds of men out of en-
ployment, thus entailing great loss,
both upon employer and employed
Nearly every manufacturing firm in
Wilmington has signed the protest.

said he would like to know what au-
thority the committee had to employ Il
man to 90 to the Legislature.
Mr.. Stevenson said that he had no

interpose my snarl, at the mode some
have of waging war against the diabol:
ical re- location issue now breeding dis.
cord and malice throughout our, here

room for argument on the assertion
that this county seat war was the re-
suit of base human nature every in

it is the height of folly to spend time

what has been done in bringing this
cruel war upon US; but let US occupy
our time and strength in devising .
way by which we can evade the blow,
aimed ty reckless few at the pea, e
and prosperity Of many.
Why is the Sodom of Hog Heaven
unfit for the county seatl Because it
has no more natural advantages for tho
site Of a city, than has any other quar-
ter section of land in Nez Perez county.
Why should every voter cast his vote
for Lewiston fer the present county

LIST, Nee Perce county has barely pop.

porous city, viz: the head Of navigation
