The CHADD's FoRD CELEBRATIoN.-The cele-,
bration that was to have come off on Saturday
last to celebrate the anniversary of the battle
of Brandywine, was.a complete failure. The
Rifle Company, of this city, was all the mill
tary that was on the ground. The only thing
of interest that took place on that occasion
was the appearance of the Poodle Club Of this
city. Messrs. Rogers and Killingsworth,
pair of the King bees of this institution, were
seen very much fatigued at the bottom OF a
tremendous hill. There was no chance OF
their getting to the top. While i'll this de-
plorable situation some countrymen came
along, and seeing their fix, adopted the expe-
dent of wrapping grape vines around their
bodies, and some dozen or more getting hold
of them, towed them to the top of the hill,
where they had an opportunity of reviewing
the Rifles and having good time.
THg Sons on MoLLY.-"We the People,"
under the direction of their President, Eli
Crozier, celebrated the anniversary of the bat
tie Of Brandywine, in Cherry Island Marsh, on
Monday last. There were large number of
people present-some say 3,000-we don't
think there were quite so many. This calcu-
llation we think may be reckoned correct by
making discount Of 1900. They had plenty
of fish, but the loaves were scarce. A great
deal of patriotism was expressed in speeches,
and otherwise, considering that all the whis-
kew that could be found was contained in
mineral water bottle, and that was hid in
close proximity with the President, where the
plebians dare not venture.
The different divisions Of the military com
posing y''We the People" were present, and
turned out one grand-hoax. The President
is to be deposed, and all the profits and en-
uments of the Office taken from him till -
conducts things better. The ladies voted hun
leather medal. Great events these times.
SERIOUS AccIpESTs.- Tuesday last, col
ored man named Charles Cosden, while car
, rying the hod for the masons at work on a
new building of Mr.. Edward Riggs in Apo
l auinimink Hundred, fell from the top, dis
lance of thirty feet, producing dislocation Of
= the wrist Joint, with fracture of the distal
norton of the radius. About half way to the
, ground he came in contact with some of the
5 cross-pieces of the scatfolding, thus partially
: arresting his COURSE or he must have been III
stantly killed by the concussion.
s On the same day, Jonas (about IA years Of
' aoe.l son of William Clothier, of Smyrna
Landing, in attempting to jump from a cart
while the oxen were running, caught his feet
Q in the guiding rope, throwing him heavily to
d the Oround-in the fail he dislscated the elbow,
+ with compound fracture Of the joint The at
landing physician of this and the above case
: DIR. Hirons, thinks the little boy can never
u again have the full use of his arm.
If On Saturday evening, on the arrival OF tho
i evening train at Milford, John D. sipple, sol
r of Mrs. Eliza B. Sipple, of Milford, me
r. with quite serious accident Whil
l. standing on the turn-table, which was Jus
" in the act of turning the locomotive, he los
n his balance and was caught by his feet beneatl
,t the table, thus inficting severe wound upol
W the outer aspect of the instep, fracturing tn
ar bones of one of his feet, and otherwise inju
A. ring the other foot. DIR. Lohand reduced tn
