Irving Lyceum.

The meeting on Monday night, though
not very largely attended, was most en-
joyabIe one. Master Hally Clayton read
boys story called "Going to School,"
and the boys who have older grown
seemed to enjoy it quite as much as the
younger members. The old romance of
Pyramus and Thisby retold in Saxe's
inimitable humorous style, was read by
the President, Mr.. Henry Clayton. This
story of the love and fate of a Babalonish
youth and maid is very sad indeed
sadder than that of Romeo and Juliet,
But the manner is 50 irresistably funny
that you laugh in spite of yourself, even
at the tragic death scene. Mr.. CLAYTON
introduced his subject by few remarks,
both explanatory and commentatory,
which we think good plan. The atten-
ton of the audience is gained at once
and lively interest manifested in that
which is to follow, while the mere an
nouncement of a title, which ofttiInes is
not heard half over the room, leaves one
in doubt as to the subject till sometimes
most pleasing as we'll as instructive efforts
with which the society has been favored
in the way Of original papers was an ESSAY
by Rev. Mr.. Stengle, styled "Chinese
Peculiarities.' The points of difference
between the Chinaman and the American
are as numerous as they are ludicrous.
The Rev. gentleman said that one pecu-
liarity with the Chinese women is. that
they "wear the pants,'' which, it is said
by some, is not altogether different from
the practice Of some American women.
We hope that, at some meeting in the
future, the author may be induced TO read
his paper to larger audience when more
may share the enjoyment. Several mem
bers who were appointed to participate in
the exercises were absent on account
of sickness. Thus the exercises were
brief, but making up in quality the lack
in quantity. In the music line Miss Nav
Biggs rendered very sprightIy instru-
mental solo; Miss Cotton, whose sweet
voice we are always eager to hear, sang 2
song; quartet was sung by Miss Cotton.
Mrs. II. NJ. Price, Vim. Fulton and DIR.
Kennedy. The Society was the grateful re-
ceiver ofa vol. containing the records oftbe
Northern and Southern armies during the
civil war, from Hon. E. L. Martin. Next
Monday night, March Sd, will be the
regular monthly meeting of the society
when the members will endeayor to make
it as pleasant as possible for all who oon,a
Miss Winnie Lynch has consented to sing
for us, the mere mention of which is suffi-
cient guarantee that we will have good
time. We hope all the friends of the So
ciety will come to the Lyceum Hall. at 8
O'Clock. The admission will be ten cents.

New Horse Disease.


DR.. B. F. Vandever, one Of the leading
veterinary surgeons of Wilmington, in
speaking of the so-called new disease that
is attacking many horses in different parts
of the country, makes the following state
ments: It is called blackwater, haema-
turia and azoturia by different parties,
and is neither common nor a new dis
ease. 1t is a disease of the general system,
characterized by large excess of urea
in the blood, by urine of a dark coffee
color and by spasrns in the muscles of
the hind quarters. Its exact nature is not
vet fully determined and is considered an
open question. Both horses and mares
are attacked, but it is most common and
most virulent in its attacks on the latter
The dark color of the urine was supposed
blood, but Professor Williams analysed it
and found no blood corpuscles, but an
excess of nitrate of urea and hippuric
acid. Mr.. Haycock characterized it as
uhysteria of Mares" but it has been
found to be by no means confined to the
female sex. In the males the exciting
causes are usually sudden exertion after
long period of rest, or standing in the
stable, as we'll as congestion and torpidity
of the lungs and liver. The attacks begin
suddenly and the beasts affected grow un-
usually restless, sweat profusely and in
cline to lie down. These symptoms are
followed by loss of power in the hind
legs and the larger muscles are seized
with violent spasms, those of the fore
Quarters sometimes being involved. The
rapidity of pulse and respiration increase
and an entire paralysis or great stifening
of the hind quarters follow. With these
symptoms the urinal discharge is greatly
increased and it assumes very dark
coffee color. The breathing grows more
difficult and general spasms resembling
tetauus come on and the horse dies. The
disease usually runs its course in three or
four DAYS and the animal either dies
within that time or stands chance of
ultimate recovery.
While it is not contagious it frequently
attacks several horses in the same stable.
DR.. Yandever thinks that with the prompt
application of the proper remedies its
fatality among horses will be greatly
diminished, but prompt attention should
be given on the appearance of the first
symptoms Of the disease Morning NeaOs.

Railroad Injunction Case,

]. G. Cochran and Woodward Abra-
hams, of Baltimore city, having filed
through their counsel, R. G. Thackery and
Clinton Mccullough, bill of complaint
in the Circuit Court Of Cecil county against
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, praying the court to restrain the
company from constructing its proposed
railroad through their land on the east
bank of the Susquehanna river, the court
on Saturday issued the injunction as
prayed for. Some weeks ago the land in
controversy was condemned by jury Of
inquisition, and the award OF the jury was
returned as required by law to the
Circuit Court, where it now awaits con-
firmation or rejection by the court at the
ensuing March term. The allegations of
the bill upon which the court issued the
injunction are, first, that the company has
no charter or authority to construct its
proposed railroad from Baltimore to
Philadelphia; and second, that it has no
warrant in law to take or occupy the lands
mentioned before confirmation of the in
QUESTION referred to. The effect Of the
is to stop for the present, at
least, all work by the company upon the
lands named, and it finally made perpetual
by the court, will prevent the company
from constructing its proposed road unless
it obtains a further legislative grant OF
NeaCs.

Wife Beating in Jersey.


We hear more talk of wife beating in
Jersey than any other State in the Union.
We have noticed that the Grand Jury of
Essex county has more than once recon-
mended that there be special penalty
provided for wife beaters. What sort of
men have they in Jersey? Or is it that
Jersey women are particular aggravating?
evidently there is something out of gear
somewhere. 1t has been proposed that
the whipping-post be revived in that
State, as being the most efficient remedy
for the evil, and the Jersey women all say
amen. Yes, that's what Jersey needs
most. We have whipping-post in Della
ware but it's a rare thing that man gets
there for beating his wife. If Jersey will
insist on each one of her wife beaters
becoming intimately acquainted with the
we will guarantee that
aforesaid culprit will, in every case, ever
after be a tender and loving spouse.-X

Residence Burned.

The large and handsome frame residence
of Joseph Pyle, located on his place
known as " Cedar Grove" on Front street,
about one square beyond Union street,
the city limit, at Wilmington, was burned
to the ground with all its contents, on
Friday evening of last week. The fire
was caused by a detective fue in the
dining room, which set fire to the first
floor joists between which it ran. Samuel
Nicholson, colored employe, discovered
the fire in the cellar and Immediately
began throwing water upon it, but was
unable to make much headway, as the
flames were burning fiercely. The fam
lily, except Mr.. Pyle himself, who was in
Wilmington, left the house precipitately,
and in their hurry forgot TO take anything
with them. A crowd was already gather
ing, but all seemed afraid to enter the
building. Five carpenters, who were en-
ployed on the house of William H. Con-
nell, Mr.. Pyle's son-in-law, about one
hundred feet distant, rushed into the |
building, and by great efforts, and with |
danger to their personal safety, saved the
small amount of property that escaped
the flames-a piano, the parlor furniture,
some books, the silverware in daily use,
a large, old-fashioned eight-day clock, and
some carpets. The remainder Of the fur
niture, every bit of clothing, except one
of Mr.. Pyle's suits, and all the family
jewelry were lost. Among the latter
were three valuable gold watches, a silver
watch, which had been an heirloom in the
family for over one hundred years, val
liable pearl, and many smaller articles.
The burned house was large three-story
frame structure, 39x59 feet, and contained
seventeen rooms. The third story was {
only completed last fall at an expense of
about $500. The loss on the building
was about So, 900, and on the furniture, {
iewelry, etc., about $1,000 more. The in
surance is between $1,000 and $4,000, di-
vided between the Royal Queen and
Phoenix Insurance Companies. (
