and economical means of recreation for
the whole family. Again there is class
whose object is debanchery and carousing,

they visit. A gang of the
latter class, composed OF Wilmington thugs

first arrest that has been made of this char |
acter, and more will follow, MS passengers
On this road have been greatly annoyed by |
the actions of Philadelphia parties who
visit the river shore on Sundays.
