FIGHTING LICENSES IN WILMINGTON.
"A new plan has been adopted to fight
the granting of liquor licenses to new
places, and to places previously refused
at the coming session of the Superior
| Court. Church people and people in
terested in temperance generally, are
| circulating petitions which are being
numerOusly signed, asking the court
to refuse to increase the number of
places selling liquor in Wilmington.
The Rev. w. p. Swartz, CT Central
Presbyterian Church, spoke briefly on
| this subject Sunday morning, and a
/ nj i.pr Of ~ ba-
ed to do so next Sunday. It's thought
by the time petitions are to be signed,
| they will contain abOt 25 600 sigua-
lures. There are fifteen new places
I applying for licenses at this term of
COurt.-MOrning Neaos.
MYRIADs OF WILD FowL.-The
myriads of water fowl seen on the sur
| face of the Delaware river last week
would be the envy of every sportsman
who could witness the countless drOves.
For some unknown reason on Wednes-
day and Thursday last, the river liter
ally swarmed with wild-fOwl, princi-
| pally ducks of the black, mallard and
sprig tail varieties, with an occasional
bunch of coy geese, who raised the
alarm of "HOnk!, hOnk!" at every ap-
preaching vessel, and in dignifed
single file few up to more sequestered
quarters. The presence of these great
| fOcks of ducks Is unaccounted for.
| They came from the south in one night
lowered over the river for two days,
and then continued their flight north
| ward. The massiveness of these huge
\ drOves, would almost indicate that
every other feeding ground had been
| depOpulated, and the feathered gour-
mands had gathered for a tempting
feast.
