HEPBURN s. BENSON, proprietor of one of
the largest hctelsin ashingtOn-the National
died in that city on Wednesday last in his
56th year, of lung disease. He was the son of
the late BENZ. Benson, a former prominent
citizen aud carriage maker of this town. He
commenced business as carriage manufactur-
er in Dover, but not succeeding he abandoned
the business and became the proprietor of a
hotel at Dona Landing. In the capacity of a
landlord he achieved considerable success. In
1851 he took charge of the Capitol hotel at
Dover, and two years after he leased the Ash
land House, in Philadelphia, which became a
very popular hotel under his control. He also
took the prOprietorship of tho Serf House, at
Atlantic City, and conducted both hotels with
success until he leased the National, in Wash
ington, in 1850. He established considerable
reputation as hotel proprietor. He was also
one of the most nsted and most successful gun
ners in this State. He bagged nearly a car
load of wild fowl one seas IN in Sussex co. He
was so destructive to game that the citizens in
the neighborhood of Rehoboth Bay forbid him
trespassng on their grounds, and be was COM
PEELED to purchase tract to enjoy his favor
lite sport. After moving to Washington he
purchased tract on Patuxent Bay, in Wor-
cester CO., Md, for which he paid $50O0 and
afterwards took half interest in another farm
in the same locality for which $4,000 was paid.
At the time of his death he was contemplating
the erection of a large hotel on one of these
premises, near Berlin, as a summer resort. 1t
is supposed that his disease was contracted
whilst on his cunning expeditions The Pen
insula papers have frequently recorded his re-
markable shots.

MARYLAND ITEMS.

The Denton Cttton tells of negro man in
that town who hicks red-hOt poker with his
tongue and Can walk bar of heated iron until
1t cools, eat live Goals and hold molten lead in
his mouth until it cools. A hard customer he
will be for his Satanic majesty.
Horrible Murder.-Beniamin Rhodes who
kept store on the Nanticoke River, in Dor
chester county, Md, was murdered by young
man named Cyrus Stack, on the Goth inst,
and then robbed of $75 or 500. A hatchet
was used by Stack and his victim was horribly
cut and mutilated. The murderer escaped and
has not been arrested. The murderer is a no.
tonous character in that section.
Charge of Child Murder.-On Thursday a
negro CIR! about IA years old, was committed
to Princess Anne JAIL by the authorities of
Salisbury, on the charge of causing the death of
an infant child of a Mr. Mills. We can scarcely
credit that the deed was Intentional The in,
tant was about months of age, and was fed
from the bottle. The negro girl was left in
charge OF the infant and is charged with giving
1t Kerosene oil in its milk The child lived
about hours. The girl says that she was or
dered to make the fire, should it 90 out. by
using the oil as kindling She saws that she
did so use the oil, and put the can down near
the chlids milk cup, that if the oil got into the
bottle, it must have dropped into the cup un-
noticed by her, and SO got into the bottle.
The EastOn Star contradicts the report that
GoidsbOrough, the escaped murderer, had been
captured. 1t is thought that he went to Balti.
more on a vessel.
Horse There's Abowt.-Two bay mares were
stolen from Mr.. JOS H. Hossingar, near Uric
Vile, In Kent county, on Sunday night week.
They were traced as far as Sassafras where
they were seen on Monday. Mr.. H. has of
tered reward OF one hundred dollars for their
recovery.

| IHE lNFALLIBILITY OF THE POPE.-One of
the questions to be discussed by the Eeumeni-
cal Council, when it convenes again on the 9th
OF January, will be the dogma of the Infalli
biity of the Pope, The New York Herald
in speaking of the Council says:
SO far as can be gathered from outside efforts
and from rumors of inside dOiIgs it appears
that the infallibilitv dogma is to be the real
stumbling block in the Council The opposi-
tlOn to it is widespread and includes some of
the most eminent churchmen and not a few
personal friends of the Pope. Catholic Ger.
many may be said to be against it. The French
are more indifferent, as is their wont in all mat
tiers that relate to faith and morals But some
OF the French churchmen have spoken ont
plainly. Witness Father Hyacinthe, and the
Archbishop of Orleans There is not a single
Catholic government in Europe but is oppose
60 the dogma. We have Just learned that to the
bishops OF Russian Poland, now in attendance
on the Council, instructions have been sent to !
.ne effect that they must vote against infalli
Dillty. Even in Catholic Austria the feeling Is
suong. One Austrian archbishop, himself A
ccaralnal, Is reported to have said that if he /
nnus nlmsef ll1 compelled to accept the dogma |
.. inlalloilty ne will resign his position and
retire into private life; for to 90 back To h;s
charge would be but to go back to a schismatic
clergy ana Protestant flock. The men who
are opposed to this dogma are not rationaEst,, |
UT scepGcs or Protestants. They are on the
contrary, men who have the good of the Cbnrnb
at at heart Like Savonarola and Erasmus and
Fenelon OF the past, and like DDIIinger and
Hyaclnthe and Montalembert of the nresent |
fhey honestly and earnestly seek to reconcile |
ialth IA with reason, knowledge with belief and
OF such men there are not few. In sn;.e of
al TINS opposition it is confidently believed that
tnere Is power enough in the Counc;I 70 mr..
claim the dogma. DR.. Manning. of London, a
pervert or convert, which the reader will i ;ts
most enthusiastic advocate It is his deter. or
mlnatlon that the dogma shall be procla;med /
ne can count on the support of the whole nj.
u4nontane me party. The American bi,hops, Il
Is Is SAID, will go with him to man: and among
tne Is, bishops of Great Britain aud Ireland there
S,L ~ll' SCI scarcely be single di>sentient On the
otn oua ~ ~ january the Council will reassemble,
and then must come the tug of war.

CoUeHs AND COLDs.-During the changea
BILE seasons of Fall and Winter, when coughs
and colds are so prevalent, no person should
be without some reliable preparation for their
cure. They should recollect that neglected
cough or cold frequently terminates in Com
sumption. Hqsson's Compound Syrup of Tar
Is the best and most reliable article known for
the cure of coughs, colds, hoarseness, chronic
catarrh, sore throat, asthma, and all diseases of
the. throat and lungs. No person should be
without IT,. rice so cents. Sold by j. w.
Denny, Druggist, Smyrna, and al Drug stores

DIssATIsFACTIoN.-Aft the fire at the NJ.
II; Church in this town, a committee from each
OF the insurance companies in which the Church
was insured was authorized to assess the dam
ages, which was accordingly done. viz: 1880
This assessment was considered final by all
parties concerned, and the main audience room
of the Church was accordingly cleaned up for
service. Since then, however, the Farmers
Mutual Fire Company of New Castle County
which pays two thirds OF the damages, has au-
thorlzed carpenter to make another assess
ment. He places the damages at 5000, and
agrees to make the Church as good as it was
before the fire for that amount. This back
action of the Company named is severely con-
demed by parties here and may result unfavora-
bly, to them If insisted upon. Two prominent
gentlemen of the Company came down and au-
thOrlzed two well-known business men OF the
town to make the assessment, and the Church
authorities insist on adhering to this authoriz-
ed action.
