papers referring to the recent death of Dr. George W. Piper, a former Wilmingtonian, in that city, stated that he died from starvation, and that rats had preyed upon bis dead body several days before his death was discovered. This is denied by a writer in the Chester Times, who on what he calls the best authority, says N. and kept own roots, where Dr.

Piper had lived' with a lady in be On also prepared his own medicines, the evening before his decease he bandgaged the lady's sprained ankle, and appeared to de in good health and spirits. The next morning be was tound dead in his bed, his hand under bis cheek, and appeared to have died without any pain. The cause was apo plexy. On his table was a letter to his nephew, unfinished and another from a patient containing a $10 fee, He was in con fortable circumstances, had a good for a year two before he died than practice arod was enjoying health for some time before. A warm friend of the Doctor's, Mr.

Vanwinkle, had the body taken to his residence, and from there it was buried in A Newark cemetery, attended by many friends and relatives from various places. Mr. Vauwinkie is a wealthy gentleman, who lives in handsome style, and the funeral was conected in all respects as it the Doctor bad been a member of his own family. Very great indignation was felt and expressed by the Newark people toward the author of the scandalous report. The lady in whose house his death wishes to bave it understood that.

she bad neither mice nor rats in her house and Mr. Vanwinkle asked if his parlor looked like a morgue. The body was afterwards removed to Philadelphia, and re-interred in Laurel Hill cemetery. E. H.

This play has already been presented in this city, and shose who were fortsate enough to see it were highly delighted. Of the play it may be said that it is incomparably the best of its class, It is a crisp, well- written drama, and makes no pretensions which it does not satisfy.

Mr. Murphy has given incontentible proof of bin faith in it by making it the feature of bis repertoire; but he acknowledges himself ready at any time for the purcha of any Irish drama of superior merit and auaptibility, which any one ray write. That no such drama has appeared is about an 8300 as anything which can be said in favor of his "Kerry Gow." But much more can be said of Joseph Murphy, Beginning at the humblest position in the world of amusements, has worked his way gradually to 'the head. Aiming at all times to progress, and discarding, as his popularity grew, those noisy and sensation dramas which have proved the lure and the blight of less conscientiona players, each year has found him further advanced in the public regard, and surer and safer in the public esteem.

REPORTS THAT IT IS ALMOST ENTIRELY DESTROYED. Reporta from the peach section this morning are very discouraging, and with one arcord other growers say that the crop 18 almost not entirely destroyed. The warm weather during the latter part of February and March had the effect of starting the buds much earher than usual. and in consequence some of the trees in the lower part of the Peninsula were early in blossom. This would have been of no consequence had not the weather of the past two or three dapa, and especially during the nights, been 80 cold.

Up to Saturday morning the crop was thought to be all right, but persons from down the State say that Saturday night and last night were among the coldest that has been experienced, the mercury last night ranging several degrees below freezing point. This did the business, aud now- it is more than probable that our citizens will be without their customary supply of peaches this summer. Mr. 8. F.

THE EDGEMOOR CO, '8 'CONTRACT WILL.

BE FULFILLED, THOUGH AT GREAT LOSB. In July last the contract for furnishing 10, 738,000 pounds of Bessemer steel and 34,000 pounds of iron, to be used in the construction of Brooklyn bridge, was awarded to the Edgemoor Company, of which William Sellers, the well-known machinist, is president. One of the terms of the contract was that a part of material, supposed to amount to 500" tons, was to be furnished by December 1st, 1879. Subsequently the trustees pasted a resolution requiring an additional 500 tons to be furnished by that time, but the contract for the latter was never executed. On Thursday last Comptroller Steiumetz, of Brooklyn, who is ex-officio member oft the Board of Trustees of the bridge, addressed a communication to President Murphy, asking how much material had been delivered by the Edgemoor Company on account of their contract, claiming that it was important that the contract should be filled, as it would entail a serious loss of time if the contractors were not held strictly to terms.

President Murphy replied that three hundred tons of steel had been cast and delivered at the Midvale Iron Works, which also have Mr. Sellers for president. There it was to be rolled preparatory to being shipped to the Edgemoor Works, to be fitted by their From powerful hydraulio machinery. inquiry at the Midvale Works it with appears these that the but fault is not altogether works, that everyone, from the engineers on the works at the bridge to the Edgemoor Iron Company, have been doing all in their power to for wad the work, and it is claimed that all engaged in the undertaking, with probably one exception, are satisfled with the operations. To enable the Midya'e Iron Works to roll the huge plates and bars of steel which were required in the work, it was to put in almost an entirely new bot bed, immense cranes and extensive repalis to the engine.

This work already been done and the mills will no doubt start in a few days. Three bundred tons of steel ingots have been received at the works within the past week. The Cambria Iron Works were not prepared to furnish the steel as required, the works requiring larger in gots than any they had ever made; the Midvale Works were not prepared to roll the blooms, even had they been made, as their machinery was too light. Furthermore, the work on the bridge has not yet reached a state to require the iron and steel, and, although the contract stipulated for the delivery of a part of the material by December, yet it was tacitly understood, by all parties conuected with the work, that fulfilwent of the agreement could be postponed, Assurance 18 given that the material will be ready as soon as it is needed, and that the work will be pushed on as rapidly as possible. A leading member of the Edgemoor Company, in speaking of the coutract said that their company had always filled their contracts and would fill this one to satisfaction of at least a majority of the trustees.

It had been asserted, he added, that the mateiral could not be furmshed at the price specified in the contract without suffera loss of at least $250,000 to the firm but, he said, the company were not only able but willing and deterinined that all should be done which they had promised to do. Should there be any delay in the opening of the bridge to the public it shall not be chargeable to the manufacturing companies. SERVICE OF SONG. At the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church, yesterday, a service of song was held, morning, and evening, in honor of anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. N.

EDITOR OF THE DAILY pointed criticism the New York Herald transcript of Thursday suggests consistent defence Delaware's method of treating the negro, more especially as regards his education. Even the most prejudiced 'acknowledge the necessity and importance of educating all citizens, or those who expect to enjoy that high privilege, whether white or black, and only the Republican party is to be blamed for the present condition of the negro race in this conntry. Ignorance of itself is not an evil but a misfortune, which produces evil only when uncontrolled. When the Republican party had overthrown the Constitutional sanction of slavery, they were not content to provide for the emancipated freedmen even at the expense of the people whom they so unscrupulously robbed they were not content to heed the dictates of true philanthropy, to educate and fit them for the exalted position of citizenship which they might in time occupy with credit to themselves and benefit to they community; they were not content to provide for a gradual extension of the right of suffrage to those qualified, but with the high hand of power when the Keconetructed States were held in the vise of martial law and iron clad, oaths, they forced universal suffrage upon them; they broke down the last safeguard of enlightened government' and let loose 8 flood of and prejudice which has carried its baleful into every section of the country and left its evil results a nausea to modern civilization. Uncontrolled ignorance has wrought rapine and murder in the South, where violence and lawlessness bae reigned supreme; bas given unbridled license to the baser passions, alarmingly increasing miscegenation, an offence, against decency and revolting to nature; has demoralized society; has bankrupted suries; has prostrated business by ing in authority a borde of unprincipled men who have scrupled not at the meanest artifice to perpetuate their power.

The Republicans, (there are a few noble exceptions) have repeatedly charged such acts of violence to the Democrats, conveniently forgetting that there no more peaceable and prosperous States than those of the South, until they come into er. Who for a moment would have that Virginia, the "Old Dominion." the mother of five Presidents, would have thought of repudiating her obligations? Surely the spirits of Washington and Jefferson must have become disgusted, else they would have risen from their graves to rebuke her. To such a condition, certainly your contemporaries of the north and east, boasted champions of State and national honor, would not have Delaware or any other State come. The wrouble is our sister States of the North and East, fail to unders and the difficulties that beset us. They have but few negroes and these few were gradually educated long years before the right of suffrage was extended to them.

They being few, worth and qualified, exert little or no influence for Not so with us. We have many and they necessarily are extremely ignorant, and the example of other States (farther south) and less fortunate than ours, warns 118 not to let them get the reins of power, else bankruptcy and ruin would be our doom. Instead of giving them suffrage as soon as freed, had the Republicans, when in power, named a day in the future when they should become citizens, and had Delaware or any of the border States refused or neglected to provide for their education, then could she, or they, be justly and deservedly censured or condemned. As it is, their censure lacks the strength of consistency or a proper understanding the matter, and partakes too much of the nature of a scurrilous partisan criticism. TREBLA.

Walked into the Christiana. As Captain Archibald Minto, employed by Geo. W. Bush Son, watchman, was making his rounds through the' yard on Saturday evening between 8 and 9 o'clock he heard cries as though some one was struggling in the water of the Christiana. Proceeding hastily to the wharf he saw a man struggling in the water.

He immediately procured a hook and ladder which he kept on band for the purpose, and after considerable trouble succeeded in fastening the hook in the man's clothing, thereby keeping his head above the wate: while he fastened the ladder to the wharf. He finally succeeded in getting the man out, and started him up French street. The man was supposed to have been intoxicated, as a short time previous to the accident Capt. Minto noticed him walking down French street, and stopped him, and started him up French street. He stated that 'he was on his way to the depot to catch a train for Philadelphia, but instead of going the depot stopped at the U.

M. Among the officers who fell in the battle of Langensalza, was one who owned a fine Sooth terrier, which accompanied his master everywhere, and so now had followed him into the battle. Here, unhappily, the officer met with an early death. Notwithstanding this the faithful animal did not forsake him even then, but remained at his side, moaning piteously when he saw the gaping wound and the flowing blood, and heard the last gasping of his dying master. He ran round and round him-barked, -went away a few yards, to see if his master would get np and follow him, and then always returned sadly back again.

He licked the wound, smelt at and rubbed his nose against the dying man on every side, and when he died the faithful animal lifted up his head, as if instinct had told him the bitter truth, and looking up to the blue sky howled in loud and piteous tones, as if he was begging for help from thence, or wished to carry his complaint thither. At last after hours of lamenting, he. lay down by the side of his dead master, his eyes and his head turned toward him, and continued every DOW and then to moan gently. In this position he was found by the gravediggers who were sent out from the town to take up the corpses, and inter them in trenches dug for the purpese. When they approached the body of the officer, his faithful guardian rushed furiously upon them, and would not allow them to touch it.

Nothing could be done but with spade and shovel to make an attack upon the angry animal, and to seize him by laying hold of him on both sides and in this way the poor dog was made prisoner, and was placed in a sack, so that the men might be secure from his bite. A visitor the fieid of baule saw the capture of the dog, and heard the story of his fidelity. "Good people," said he to the gravediggers, "give me the dog; I will pay you for bim." They readily consented, and when they brought the dog to his new master in the evening he took him home with him. But also! the next morning the animal had vanished. The reader will guess whither he had fled he bad goue back to the place where his beloved master fell.

Poor dog your master is no longer there. Tuey have laid him to rest with eight of his brave comrades beneath the green sod. You will seek him in vain-jou will Dever see bim again! How diligently and perseveringly did the faithful animal search and smell at every blade of grass It was all in vain, his good master could nowhere be found. The unhappy dog was seen wandering restlessly about the spot where bis mater for several days; he even made his way into the wards of the hospitals, and gazed up wistfully ar the wounded men there with a sagacity almost human, examining them with the sharp organ of scent. But at last, his instinct seemed to bave taught him the sad truth.

He returned mournfully back to the meadow to the spot where his master had fallen and moaned as piteously, if not as violently, as at the first. In this manner the poor dog had for a whole week mourned for his dead master. The hospital attendants and other compassionate persons offered him food, and tried to entice him away from the field; but he only would very little, and always ran back again searching and looking about everywhere like a child for its lost mother. One morning he had disappearedwither DO one knew. Several days passed away; people amid more important things such as the care of the wounded men had forgotten about the dog; then a stranger appeared at the bathhouse and inquired for the grave of his only son who bad fallen in this battle in this neighborhood.

He could not get the informatiou he wisbed. said, the stranger, mournfully to the men who accompanied him, I cannot discover the grave of my beloved son there is one who will lead me to the spot which drank in his blood, and where he breathed out his young life -this dog in my arms." With these words be put the faithful terrier on thh ground. "Go on, my good said to him; "go forward, and lead to the place so sacred to father's heart. You have come all this Jong, way to me in my distant home now performed the journey a second time. Go on, good dog; I will follow.

Then the faithful animal; now grown weak and emaciated, looked up at the old gentleman, wagged his tail, jumped up at bim, licked his hand, and then went slowly forward. In deep grief, the old gentleman and a few sympathizing persons followed. At. last the animal stopped, and began to moan gently. He hid came to the spot where his young waster had died.

The deeply-afflicted father knelt down touched the earth with his forehead and lips, kissed the ground which bad received his son's blood, and prayed for a long time. He then arose, and went hastily from the spot without look ing round him. In a most painful state of selt-torgetfulness he arrived at the gates of the town, and then he perceived that be was quite along -the faithful dog had remained behind. He reproached himself bitterly for his selfishness. The messenger be sent after him tour.d the dog at the same spot in the meadow, but dead.

It might almost be said that he bad died of a broken heart, pined away for the loss of his beloved master. Dwelling Burned. On Thursday last the large, old fashioned log dwelling house on the farm formerly belonging to Dr. Mitchell, of Elkton, situated in Maryland on the road leading from Glasgow to Frenchtown, was totally destroyed by fire. The dwelling was occupied by Abram Wright.

The entire contents of the dwelling were destroyed, upon which there was no insurance. It is thought that the fire originated from a spark passing from a hole in the chimney between the plaster and floor, General News; of The peach crop in the lower peninsula Delaware is reported to ba. almost ruined by the frosts of the last few nights.
