Time passed on smoothly, the fellow proving industrious and trustworthy, until Sunday night, 15th inst. Mr. Miller had informed his workman a short time previous that he would not need his services much longer, but In the meantime had interested hitusell to secure work for him elsewhere. Ou the above named night the "hand" harnessed up his employer's horse and wagon, pro ceeded to tbe mill, loaded two bags of flour and drove off. The Surrounding Country.

Reason Why the Clubs did not Visit Rew ork. It was not only a matter of surprise to the different clubs that they did not go to Newark last night, but a terrible disappoint ment, for they fully prepared themselves to make an imposing display,which they would utidoul t diy have dune, Judging from the very excellent parade that was afterwards made through the streets of Wilmington. It was a little difficult for awhile last even ing to find out the true reason of the disap point uent. Some said that It was because the Kallroad Company was fearful of an ac cident, and for that reason had refused to allow the lr cars to be used. Or hers contend ed hit those were to blame who had been entrusted with the power to make tbe rangvments After considerable hunting and Jos ling about. In the crowd, one or two were discovered who knew something about It, and the blame all rests, as it should, on 'be ratlrood company. At a meeting ot the County Executive Committee held several days ago, Gen. 'Vllllam Reynolds kindly offered to procure he cars for the committee for the trans i port at Ion of the club to Newark, and the committee was lead to believe that, a train could be hired from the railroad company, he train to consist of ten cars, and at he price of two hundred and fllty dollars. There must, have been some misunder standing, for tha money had been appro urlated by the committee, and could have been obtained by the railroad company In an hours' notice. Upon further Inquiry ■arlng made into the matter yesterday It was discovered that the company would not allow the train to leave unless only by the sale of tickets to each passenger. This vas not made known to Chief Marshal Brady until It was too late to make any further arrangements about tbe trains, and he therefore ordered that, there be a street parade, which was carried out. The torchlight procession was a very im p >sing one. There were at least one tbous utd men In line, and they were loudly hcered In all tbe afreets through which they passed. It was tbe firat appearance of be First ward club organized on Monday night, and in the costumes of a ridiculous kind, created cons! lerable laughter. What 1 he people of Newark missed the people of 'Vilmington gained, In seeing an excellent procession. ar Political Meetings. This evening at the Democratic head quarters, there will headdresses delivered oy Hon. Ell Saulsbury and B. T. Biggs. Ou Thursday eveniug, November 2nd, there will be a Democratic mass meeting, at Toy's hotel, Rising 8un. It will be ad iressed by George Gray, Esq., H. Clay Turner, Harry Sharpley and others.

Tne Newark Cornet Baud lurulshed music, and one of the features of the parade was a company of diraslters Irom Cecil county, Maryland.
