Temperance.
THB MEETING AT THE CITY HALL_A
DRUNKEN MAN CREATES A SENSA
TION.
At the opening of the temperance
meeting-last evening, there was a good
audi ence present, but before It closed
the Hall was nearly filled. The meet
ing was opened In the usual manner
with the singing of a hymn, and nray
was offered by Rev. W. J. Steven
son pastor of Grace church.
The speakers were the same as on
Wednesday evening, Messrs. Biglow,
and Houghton, who occupied together
about an hour in speaking of ;the great
curse of intemperance, Mr. Boughton's
speech being the same ona as he made
on Wednesday evening with a few
changes. Mr. Wells, reported that
there had been over 000 names added
to the pledge book this week.
Tho meeting closed with the sing
ing of "Hold the Fort," and a short
prayer.
A.t the close of the meeting an in
toxicated man who had been present
arose, and addressed the meeting, in a
few unintelligible remarks, the only
thing that could be understood
that he intended to sign the pledge,
which he did. He gave his name as
R. W. Clapp, who he is or where he
came from no one seems to know. Af
ter he had signed the pledge he again
commenced lo talk very loudly, and
called upon thoie preseutto come up
and put their names down, and not be
"d—m fools." Being informed that
he ought not to swear he replied that
it was part of his business. Still wax
ing warm he informed his auditors
that he knew "Tom Scott from H— II
to Jerusalum, and he having sold him
the Baltimore & Potomac R. R.
He further informed hishearers that
he didn't "care a g —d—m for no one
as his name was Clapp."
Thinking perhaps that it was time
for more singing he called upon the
choir to ,'five us something," a Letter
in the Candle" or one or John Wana
maker's hymns.
One of the managers informed him
that nothing but hymns were sung at
the meetings.
He then wanted one of Moody and
Sankey's hymns, finishing his request
by remarking that thaï were d—n
frauds. After lie spoke in the above
manner for a few minutes, Mr. Wells,
announced that they would try, and
adjourned the meeting, which was done
and the ixtoxicated individual started
out to go no one knows where. The
action of those having charge of the
meeting in allowing the man to con
tinueepeaking, and the audience cheer
ing him on was altogether wrong, as
there were several ladies present who
were forced, owing to the men block
ing up the aisle, t o sit and listen to the
vile harangue.

Delaware River Shad Items.
It is now settled beyond a doubt that
tlie first shad taken thisseason from the
Delaware was caught by Mb. Upperman,
an old fisherman, in Salem Cove,opposite
Fort Delaware. Last season, in the early
part of March, many hundreds, were net
ted in the lower Delaware and brought
to this city. This fish, however, is the
most sensitive that swim, aud will not
ascend the river until the water is in a
proper condition. It has a great dislike
to the water produced by the melting
snow on the mountains along the upper
Delaware and fishermen say that during
the migration upward, if the water is
much impregnated with that of the melt
ed snow, the schools will return to the
Bay until the objectionable wate r bas
passed away. When ascending the river
the fish is said t® be very rapid in its
movements, and it is asserted that a large
school on one occasion passed from the
Delaware breakwater to the vicinity of
Trenton, a distance of one hundred and
twenty-five miles, in twelve hours.— Sa

Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Joseph

a party ok boys find a
night shade and eat it.
Previous to the 25th of March, there
wss a dru e store at the 8. E. corner of
IN inth' and Poplar streets, hut some
time since theu the proprietor removed
to Borne other locality whether or not*
in thiB city,cannot be ascertained. The
place has Biuce that lime bren rented
and yesterday while one of tlie family
was engaged in sweeping out the store,
amongst other things swept out into
the street, was a large black lump.
Between 4 and 5 o'clock in the after
noon a party of boys returning from
school, noticed the lump, and one of
the number picked it up', and smelling
it thought it to be essence of coffee.
Laboring under that impression he
ate some of it, and gave the rest to his
companions who also ate of it.
Upon their arrival home they were
taken suddenly ill, their actions creat
ing the belief that they had been sud
denly seized with hydrophobia.
The names of the boys are a« follows
John Long, aged 10 years; John Han
ly, between 10 and 12 years of age
John Reed, aged 10 yehns, and John
Lewis. The first three named reside
on Eighth street, between Church and
Locust, and the latterat 8H6 Poplar
street. Drs. Kirchner and T. V. Ca
ball, were summoned to attend the
three first named and found them suf
fering very much; they immediately
prescribed for them, and this morning
they are somewhat better although
still suffering.
Ur. Johnson was summoned to at
tend young Lewis and found him in
delirious state in which cocdilion he
has remained all night, and this morn
ing very little hopes are entertained
of his recovery.
Oflicer Jones, hearing Of the affair
went to Lewis' house, and obtained the
rest of the lump, and taking it to a
drug store the proprietor pronounced
it Belladonna ordeadly night snade.
He immediately informed Ur. John
son of his discovery, and that physi
cian who had pronounced the case of
young Lewis as being that of brain
fever, started immediately for his
home, the purpose or changing the
medicine. This case should be a
warning to druggist not to sweep any
thing out into the street without first
examining what it is.

Bed Bugs in the Council Cham
ber. —In the City Council chamber, last
evening, while the reporters were sharpen
ing their pencils, preparatory to commen
cing work, a wandering bed bug was ob
served sedately crawling across one of the
desks. The beast was promptly decapi
tated by a well directed blow from a pen
knife, but during the entire session the
press representatives writhed ia horrible
dread of further visits from the disgusting
vermin. The bed-bugs, and also lice,
found their way into the Council cham
ber from the lodger's room below, and re
cently they became so numerous that it
was found necessary to cleanse and com
pletely renovate the chamber. But eve
ry one knows how hard is the work of
extermination, and it will probably be
some time before our City Fathers can
hold their weekly deliberations without
receiving occasional visits from straggling
vermin.

Entertainment.— A grand exhibition
and dramatic entertainment was given
last evening in the basement of St:
Mary's Church, by the pupils of the
Sunday School. The hall was crowded
to repletion, aud presented a moat beua
tiful scene, the children looking like
real fairies. A little girl of six sum
mers Miss Dora Feeny, danced a fair
hornpipe, which elicited the warmest

grÄf- Numher rdne," The "Vht
cousins," and "Barney the baron,"
which were all rendered with marked
ability. It is impossible to discriminate*
where all did w«il, so we will not at
tempt it. A real nfusical feature of the
evening, and one long to be remembered
by those who heard it, was the rendition
of a violin solo by Professor Jno. Worth,
called " The spoiled child," which with
his masterly ability he caused to imitate
a little child crying for its mother. The
solo was recieved with great applause.
Too much praise cannot be given to the
committee for the successful endeavors
to procure an organ for the Rchool, and
to Miss Annie Rielly, Miss Victorine
Kane, Mies Sallie McClafferty, and Miss
Annie Feeny, who taught the pianos, or
to Mr. E. J. Kelley who wbb the general
manager. It was a succès in every re
spect. _
Poisoned uy Southern Shad_A
number of families in Burlington City,
New Jersey, are at present suffering from
a disorder somewhat resembling cholera.
The local physicians say the disease is
produced by partaking of shad caught In
Southern waters, the fish from some un
known cause being poisonous this spring.
The malady thus far has yielded to the
usual remedies, and no fatal cases are
reported. The doctors advise abstinence
from the dangerous delicacies.
Cottages at Rehoboth. —Mr. Philip
Cannon, of Bridgeville,is erecting a hand

Several other cottages are talked of, and

times, will be very successful.

The Downward Path of Crime—
From Virtue to Vice—The Ca
reer of one of Wilmington's Fair
Daughters.
In the subject of this brief sketch few
people will fail to recognize the pretty,
vivacious young woman, who, with her
handsome face, sparkling eyes and at
tractive manner was, until recently, the
idol of lier family and the pride of many
friends.
During her childhood she was reared
amid the influences of an attractive, re
fined home circle, and as she grew to
wards womanhood she was constantly
surrounded, by precept and example,
with all that could tend to keep her
footsteps in the path of virtue, aud her
life free from the sins of the world.
But a pretty form and blonde com
plexion, combined with an attractive
rearing and tine conversational powers,
soon drew scores of admirers to her side,
but no thought of suspicion was
breathed against her character, and until
very recently no stain of reproach was
cast against her hitherto fair name. Yet
the tempter approached, and if rumor
speaks correctly, he approached in the
shape of a man who had already taken
upon himself the vows of matrimony,
and whose dissolute character readily
enabled him to stifle all feelings of honor
for himself and regard for the fair girl
whose ruin he successfully accomplished.
The "old, old story
itself. Detection was speedy, and when
the guilty truth could no longer be con
cealed, the frail creature, disregarding
the pity and sympathy of her still loving
friends, plunged deeper and deeper into
the life of infamy and reproach» Daily
,her conduct grew more bold and defiant,
while her circle of guilty admirers in
creased in extent. Rapidly losing all
feelings of personal regard or sense of
shame she fled from the home circle,
where virtue and contentment existed in
painful contrast to her depraved nature ;
and now, with a few kindred spirits, this
once bright, beautiful and virtuous young
woman is keeping a house of ill-fame in
.the western part of the city.
Such Is the briefly told tale, which is
every day occurrence in the larger
cities, but which the citizens of Wilming
ton do not frequently have their attention
directed to. It is a sad recital, and while
friendly hearts will deeply sympathize
with the afflicted family, whose bereave
ment is far greater than if death had en
tered their portals and taken the once
loved one in all the purity of her fresh
young life ; they will also join in exe
crating the horrid actors Who claim res
pectability while they assisted to blight
her young hopes and blasted her charac
ter forever in the eyes of the world.
Dow terrible must be the feelings #f
the seducer. In many of the States the
crime is made a penitentiary offence, and
it should be in Delaware. How would
these foul and wicked wretches like to
have their own children debauched or see
their sisters thus led to ruin. It is im
possible for these men to escape tjie eyes
of tko community. The day is past when
the responsibility of such an offence to a
' '
soon unfolded
community will be looked over in si
lence, or in which the punishment and
shame will rest only on the weaker and

ENTHUSIASM IN SOUTH CAROLINA
-GRAND RECEPTION AWAIT
ING HAMPTON.
Charlkstox, 8. C., April 5.—Accounts
from Columbia to-night say that
the demonstration of welcome to Gov.
Hampton on his return to-morrow
will be something inique both in
number and enthusiasm. The rail
roads are carrying passengers to the
capital at half fare, and visiting delega
tions I of citizens from all parts of the
State will swell the throng. Business
will be suspended, and the day will be
given up to public rejoicing. Sinister
hints are uttered by some of the carpet
baggers that they will contrive a disturb
ance in which many colored men will be
killed, but amid the popular elation lit
tle heed is paid to such a vaporing.
The effect of Hampton's triumph is
already feltihere in> business way. Pres
ident Simonds, of the First National
Bank; George W. Williams, Wm.B.Smith,
F. S. Pelzer and other leading capital
ists agree in saying that relief has come
in the nick of time, especially for the
rice interests of the seaoord, which was
in imminent danger of annihilation on
acooont of the prevailing uncertainty.
The market for local real estate percept
ibly stiffened, and State bends, which a
week ago had risen from 50 to 63 on the
strength of the prospect of pacification
are to-day quoted at 68a70, with none of
fering.
