Tho outrage in ph,I.,elnhi.,

Coroner Daniels held an Inquest on Friday on
the body of tile murdered child, Mary Norman.
From tue evidence OF the witnesses It seems that
the body OF the little grid was not thrown into
the pond until short time before 1t was found,
and must have been concealed somewhere else
after Il had been outraged and murdered. Sever
oil little girls testified that the man who had In
duced deceased to go with him had tried to get
them 10 go with him to show him the way.
Mary was about six yenrs of age.
Dr.. e. b. Shaplcigh testified that he made a
post mortem examination OF the chlds body.
There was sand upon the clothes, legs, and feet
of the child, and blood upon the under clothes.
The face wns swollen and of dark color the
neck WINS also, swollen and black. There were
many bruises and scratches about the neck and
upper part of the chest. The bruises were most
severe under the ears. There were three wounds
upon the top of his bend, two about half IN inch
long, parallel with line drawn from the top of
each car, which line would pass between the
wounds. They were made by blunt instrument.
The skull was not fractured. The blood vessels
of the brain, as well as the scalp and facc, were
congested. There were some slight bruises about
the wrists aud ankles. There was no sand in the
mouth nor sand or water In the wlndpipe or
bronchial tubes. The heart, lungs, aud stomach
were In a, nurmal condition. There were M'mis-
taxable marks of the child having been outraged.
In the opinion Of the Doctor, death was caused
by strangulaton. This closed the testimony for
the present, and the inquest was adjourned until
Tuesday next. ,ll.i8

We have frequently quoted expressions 10 fave,
of Peninsular consolidation from our exchanges.
The propriety of such measure is thus strongly
urged by Rev. Mr.. L'ghttourpe, in letter to the
st. Michaels Comet =
In travelling over this Peninsula, and In study
ing its geography the homogeneousness OF it's
products, soil, climate, and people, its division,
by State lines, appears not only arbitrary, but u-
ndturdt Nature has her laws and they should
be respected. Let any Intelligent man sit down
with the worlds map before him, ind lie cannot
fall to zee how the political dyr aus az the earth
arc fixed by nature. he t',rr.a IN III

den as naturally as II 1t were the single purpose
OF their erection. The Alps wall in little Swift
zerland The Rhine, the Danube, the Baltic
the world Is interspersed, are oil the lies drawn
by nature dividing the earth Into varils and dis
tinct natlonalilies The lines of nature separating
this Peninsula from the rest Of the country are
SO well defined, that its present division by State
lines ID unnatural. The broad and beautiful Della
ware and Chesapeake Bays form u natural line
between us, New Jersey and the Western Shore
of Maryland, while the Atlantic ocean completes
our Insulation by separating us from .all the

EASTERN SHORE PoLITics.-The Democrats are

tion for Congress In the First District, and no.
where more so than In Talbot county, the home

gales from any county more drtermnedly con-
tested than in this, and when the intelligence ar
rived Of Col llambleton's nomination it appeared
10 fall like u wet blanket upon the shoulders of
the anti liambleton Democrats. None appeared
to be concerned. None appeared to feel proud
that their county had been the recipient Of the
honor, which VIC suppose would he the case, even
though they fhied to get their choice. We pre-
sumo, however, as "whisky'' ard anotorious
Radical" made the nomination, the minority
win. we're willing To entrust the result to the
chargc OF the same agencies. BY this result it is
clearly shown that the political affairs of this
county have undergone complete change. The
