Dead |

Miss Fannie L., eldest daughter of E.
A. Watson of this town, died on Tuesday
at her fathers residence on Delaware
avenue. In childhood Miss Watson en-
joyed excellent health, which blessing
she enjoyed until of late years, when the
germs of that fell disease, consumption,
made its appearance. In life, she was
loving and loved by a large circle of
friends. In death, they sadly mourn
their loss. She attended the commence
ment exercises at Delaware College, but
was never able afterward to leave the
house. Life had lost its sweetness, and
she was willing to be at rest. Day by
day she grew wea ker, and at last the
spirit that was weary in the flesh took its
flight to God its Maker. The sands OF
time run out in the june of her life an
the golden bowl was broken, and home
is desolate by the absence OF the depart

HUMANuM EST ERRARE,


Messrs. Editors-Knowing that your
journal has wide circulation, desire to
say few words in relation to the Red
Mill railroad accident of last week, in
vindication of Gideon Lodge, engineer of
the train that caused the fatal calamity.
The coroner's jury censured the COMPANY
"for keeping in their employ such man
as Gideon Lodge-one so reckless and
thoughtless of human life." Now, Mess.
Editors, in all fairness, do you think such
censure just? Gideon Lodge is an ex-
perienced engineer, having been in the
employ of the company for twenty-t two
years. He has always had a dread of
running into persons while running his
engine He has warm, sympathetic
heart, and the sacrifice of human life on
day above mentioned, was as bitter an
ordeal to him as to the stricken parents

He felt as keenly as they the terrible mis-
torture. His settings are peculiarly sem
sitive, and the censure of the jury does
him wrong that he is unable to rectify,
more than quietly submit and reflect,
that while endeavoring to perform his
whole duty, he is looked upon as an agent
and destroyer of human lives, 1t is said,

A FRIEND.

Asssrs. Editors-The anxiety of "Read-
ing Room Agitator'' in discussing the
question and the plan he proposes to
adopt might do in towns where the
young have taste for reading, but fail
to see any hope for success in the asso-
citation. He informs me that the found
ers of the dead reading room neglected to
make provision for the support Of the
same, and goes on to say that the found
ers were all men of means belonging to
class No. /. Where he received his in
formation is a mystery and certainly not
correct. Working men did contribute,
and plenty of provision would have been
made if any inclination on the part of
any class of society to read the class of
reading to be found in libraries. / might
mention several large towns where it has
been uccess-Lancaster, Germantown
and Yonkers. Some of them / have at
tended where the young men were edu
Gated to read standard books. If "Agi-
tator" would study the habits of the peo-
pie he would find that light reading is
sought after, such as New York Weekly,
Fireside Companion, New York Ledger,
and dime novels, and anything that is
exciting and curse to the homes they
enter. Another evil is the books to be
found in our Sunday school libraries, al
though the moral of the books might be
intended for good, too much of the novel
style and exciting characters runs
through them, leaving the children, and
often the mothers, who read them, no
better than when the first page is read.
DR.. Phebus, Methodist minister of
wide reputation, said that in no town in
which the Conference sent him, did he
find less reading of standard books by all
classes than in the town of Newark Nor
can account for it. Donations are free
ly given, the people are kind and warm
hearted. The report of the Ladies' Aid
Society for foreign and home missions,
and the amount of money that will be
collected at the Catholic fair next month,
goes to show the liberality of our people.
