PERsoNAL-We learn from the Transcript
that the ninety fifth birthday of our venerable
fellow-citizen, Mr.. Elias Thomas, was celebra-
ted by q large family party at his residence, on
Monday last. His two sisters, Mrs. Happy
Morse and Miss Betsey Thomas, aged respect
lively ninety-seven and ninety three, and their
cousin, Mrs. Gates, an octogenarian, joined in
the festivities of the occasion. With the ex-
ception of the blindness of Mr.. Thomas, all of
these aged people are in the full possession Of
their faculties and they are all in excellent
health and spirits, enjoying life with the zest Of
youth. Mr.. Thomas and his elder sister re-
member distinctly the first burning of Port
land by MOwatt in 1875, at which time they
were carried to Westbrook for safety, just be-
fore the bombardment commenced; in the late
fire they were again made homeless for time
The younger er sister is marvel of sprightli-
ness; her step is as elastic as it could have
been three-quarters of a century ago, and her
conversation full of youthful wit and sparkle.
In the presence of aged people like these, able
to enjoy and to communicate the highest
pleasures of social intercourse, one loses the
dread of extreme old age; for in their expert
ence we see the comfort and usefulness that
may attend the long evening of well spent
life.

CRIMES.

The Sussex Argus of Friday says: A
mulatto man by the name of Thomas Oliver,
formerly Of Milton, who has been living
near Lincoln for some time past, was arrest
ed at Bridgeville by the constable on We'd
nesday last and lodged in Georgetown jail,
charged with having committed outrages on
several women both white and colored The
first attempt was made upon a white lady
living at Lincoln, while on her way to Mil
ford. As she was walking up the railroad
track about mile from Lincoln, the mulatto
jumped from behind tree and confronted
her, and addressed her in very obscene lam
guage at the same time forcing her off The
track and trying TO drag her into the woods.
The lady screamed and attracted the atten-
tion OF party of workmen some distance
down the road-the wretch hastily retreated;
telling her that he "would met her there as
she came back.n The next day he assaulted
and brutally outraged the person of color
ed woman, somewhere on the road between
Milford and Georgetown. The same day lie

Georgetown, where he cruelty beat and out
ragged another colored woman, and made an
attempt upon a school mistress returning
home from school. Although these outrages
were all perpetrated last week, the wretch
eluded the officers until last Wednesday

CURE FOR FELoNs.-As there is much
needless suffering from lelons, we deem il u
duty to give Il remedy which we know to be
perfectly reliable; Take portion of the
bark of sweet elder, or hops will do, put II
with some sweet cream into n cup, and boil
a short time; then put in lump Of saltpetre
twice as large rs pea; let it slowly dry
away to the consistency OF salve, which
apply to the felon. The saltpetre is cure,
but the elder bark and sweet cream aid in
easing the pain. As ielons sometimes make
it necessary to ampuiate n finger or hand,
(if left alone they should be attended TO at
once.
BY putting enough saltpetre any telon can
be cured in forty eight hours, and the pain
will cease almost Immediately.

THE WRONG MAN.-We understand that
the following amusing incident occurred
few days ago in neighboring city: A worthy
couple, well to do IN the world, Il few years
ago had son who often strayed from the
path OF recliiude and went on the most dis
graceful sprees. Marrying, he reformed,
and for some years has been as steady as
could be desired. A short time since I'M IN
toxicated man iumbled into drug store, and
was Immediately recognized by the keeper
as Mr. S., who had been so long reformed.
Word was Immediately sent to his parents,
and coming, they took him home. He was
covered with mud and filth, but they went
TO work bravely and pulled off his clothes,
washed llia feet, put on clean linen, and tum-
bled him into the best bed. The mother,
with flultering heart, took her way TO
her sons house to inform his wife of his
dlsgracelul condition. What was her amaze
ment when, after telling with tears and sobs
the sad occurrence, to be invited into the
bedroom where her sonwas sleeping soundly,
having retired earlier than usual Careful
investigation showed the fellow sleeping in
her best bed at home TO be one of the diriiest
and worst drunkards in the city. His iea'
lures were something like her sons, but
that did not save his being dragged out OF
bed aud escorted to the watch-house. .-Fdll
