are already sending Strawberries to market
The fruits of this blessed land are lux.
uriant and delicious, or words to
that effect. It is a magnificent grain
and grazing region. There is pier there
a quarter Of a mile long, superior to any
thing of the kind in Delaware. There are
founded the largest stores on the lenin-
sula south of Wilmington, A railroad
through this adorable region could not
help but pay. But, it would be good in
vestment for the State, even if il didn't
pay; since il would enhance greatly the
taxable value of the lands between Laurel
and the Maryland line. Wicomico county
will no doubt make free gift of $50, 900 TO
help build the Maryland end. Shall Della
ware hesitate to lend $4,000 towards her
end? Mr. Causey's eloquence was thrown
away, however, for the bill failed to pass.
The vote was to 2 less than quorum;
one-half of the members present not an
swering to their names. Shortly after
wards, on motion of Mr. Eisenbrey, the
bill was reconsidered and laid on the table.
The long standing Two Detectives
bill went through the Senate this af-
ternoon, with an amendment requiring
Wilmington to foot the bill, though the
officers are to be at the services of the
State when called upon.
The Senate resolution in relation to the
Farmers Banks reappoints all the retiring
State directors with the exception of
Senator Houston, who is succeeded by
| William p. Tomlinson. Mr.. Houston
takes the place of the late Captain Daniel
Burton ~ stakeholder in the branch
bank at Georgetown.

members from New Castle county voted
solidly Tor the last preceding local option
blii; -
OF the seven Democratic members who
voted Tor y, one, Mr., Eisenbrey did SO
under the impression that section 5, as
We'll as section u, had been stricken out.
he found out afterwards that section had
not been stricken out, ana, upon this dis
cuyery, spoke OF asking for recOnsidera-
ton. But il is doubtful If motion to re-
consider would be entertained by this
House. Section provides that in any
county where the majority vote for license
the sale of liquor may 60 on; if the ma
lorlty vote against license the sale of liquor
shall be prohibited. MIR. Eisenbreys idea
of the bill was that it had been SO
amended by the exeision Of this pro-
vision, as merely To give the privilege Of
voting; leaving it with the next Legisla-
ture 10 pass upon the result of that vote.
