TO fix the llcetlng images before the new scenes
which await us render the work more difficult
Our approach to and entrance into Caro- was
full of interest From the Nile we had already
seen the mosque of Sultan HaSsan. the white
domes and long, Pencil-like minarets OF the new
mosque of Mehemet Ali, and the massive mason
ny OF the Citadel, browning a projecting spur of
thc Mokattam Hills which touches the city on
the eastern side But when, mounted on am.
bling donkeys, we followed the laden baggage
horses through the streets Of Boulsk, and en-
tered the broad, shaded highway leading through
gardens, grsin.helds and groves of palm and ba
mana to the gate OF the Esbeklseh, the grea.

turesque and animated. as II had before been

Mr.. Webster, when member ofthe Senate, voted
against confirming the editor OF The Courier and
Enquir,T as Minister 10 the Imperial Court Of
Vienna.
In return, The Courier now takes deep laid
and terrible revenge. Il supports Mr. Webster
for the Presidency, and thus, as far as It's iniu
ence can reach, destroys what chance he had OF
being elected to that office.
so vengeance is satisfied and old scores are
paid oil. Mr.. Webster prevented Gen. Webb
iIom shining at the Court Of Francis Joseph,
along with Jellachich, Haynau and the other
great Generals, who, as Gen. Webb assures Us,
SO gloriously fought for liberty in Hungary and

cunning, prevents Mr.. Webster from being Pres

MURDER IN CAT SWAMr.-Another
horrible murder was committed in this
county, near the Delaware line, in the
neighborhood known as Cat Swamp, on
W ednesday night last. Maria Pritch-
ard, wife of John Pri,chard, was found
on Thursday morning by Mr.. Andrew
Rambo, lying dead in lane near the
road from Ellton to Newark, in the
State of Delaware, few yards from
the Nd. line. Mr.. K. Immediately in
formed the authorities at Newark, and all
inquisition was held by Justice Whann
OF that place. II was soon discovered
that she had been dragged to the spot
where she was found, and tracing the
trail on the ground, which was marked
all the way by blood and hair, it led to
the house of John Pritchard, the hus-
band of the murdered woman, few
yards from the line on the Maryland
side. The officers of Elkton being noti-
fed, Sheriff Janney and Constables
Foard and Rossell proceeded to the spot
They found in Pritchard's yard the ev-
idente of scutile, blood on the ground,
hair from the murdered woman's head,
part of her dress which was bloody, a
broken comb, small hoe on the handle
of which were blood and hair, and in
the house bloody hickory cudgel.
They found in the house Caroline Pritch-
ard the sister of John. and Caroline
Pritchard the widow Of Henry Pritch-
ard, who was killed by Edward CHM
last fall. These women they arrested
and brought before Justice Joyce of this
town, who committed them for further
hearing to-day at , o'clock.
John Prltchard was absent: the wo.
men, who assume to be in total igno-
rance in regard to the murder, say h E
lett home on Wednesday evening, but
there is proof that he passed up the rail
road towards Wilmington on Thursday
morning.
Af'er Henry Pritchard was killed,
John torsooli his wifc-the woman now
murderrd-and took up with Henry's
widow, woman of VIGOROUSLY bad
character. The strong presumption is
that this woman and John, committed
the murder. The deceased was cut and
brui7ed about the head. the marks being
such as would have been made by hoe
and stick or cudgel.

HE New a ssESsMENT.-We under
stand it will take the Assessors till some
time in January to complete the assess
m"nt of the property in Cecil county.
They have been careful not to let their
Valuations in any case be known: but
have expressed the opinion that the as
sessment of Real Estate will be one
third greater than the old asSessmcnt.
The number of acres returned IN the
old assessment was 209, 3lG, which were
valued in the aggregate at $3,562, % I;
or SIT per acre on an average. The
amount CT assessment of Houses, Mills
&C., not included in the value Of
the lands above, was 1901, 4I3; ma
king the total of Real Estate S3,S55,970
Assuming the opinion to be correct that
the assessment will be increased one
third, the real estate of the county will
stand at IS, 1866; which sum, being
divided by the number Of acres in the
last return, will make an average price,
taking in "Jarrcns" and ALL of twenty
four dollars and fifty cents per acre.
LARGE New FAcroRY.-Mr. Daniel
Lord is putting up, on the Big Elk, on
the site of the forge, known as the
"Lower Forge three miles above Elk
ton, a large weaver shop, 100 feet long
BY s. #. wide, one and a halt stories
high. 1t is intended for power looms,
which will be driven by water. The
yarn will be spun by his upper factory,
which is, most probably, the largest in
Maryland. The goods he manufactures
are heavy figured cotton fabrics, used
for table cloths, bed-spreads, sc. In
this line OF business he has few com
petitors; and as these fabrics contain
much cotton to the yard, or require but
little labor to the pound, comparatively,
English manufacturers, whose onl y ad.
vantage is in cheapness of labor, are
not dangerous rivals.
