STRANGE NEWS.

1t is somewhat amusing to see the kind of
news that circulates, even among near neigh
bors, rs to the condition of affairs in Mary
land, since the late registration. Here is n
picture, drawn by the Delaaoare Tribune, pub
lished at Wilmington in that State, which
seems to have been inspired by some remarks
we made IA week or two ago, and which we
give as sample of the sort of news furnish
ed the readers of the radical papers through
out the country:
The registration of voters i'll Maryland,
which took place last week, displays the fact
that the attendance, on the part of the color
cd citizens was almost universal, and their
numbers are so large as TO carry dismay into
the hearts of the Democracy, who are begin
ming to be terrified, Notwithstanding their old
reputation One of their papers, in Hartford
county, says 1.-THE new vote will be heavy
one" and calls on every opponent of Radi-
Calism to make note of the fact and act
accordingly"
Dismayed and terrified! What expressive
rpithets, lacking but the one thing-the least
shadow of foundation in truth--to render
them as appropriate as they are dramatic.
For the comfort of our contemporary, how
ever, we inform him, first, that the number
of negroes registered in this county fell far
short Of the estimated figures made prior to
The registration, and instead of counting fif.
teen or sixteen hundred, footed up 1863
iiecondly, that there never was more fixed
determination among the white voters ofthis
State to turn out and vote than now exists !;
consequently the Democracy will triumph
And lastly, by way of interrogatory, how
about his own city of Wilmington, where the
Democracy, in the late election, carried the
very strongholds of radcalism in the teeth of
all opposition?

gree, he had, despite the feebleness of his
physical condition, reached the very highest
eminence in his profession. 1t was my priv
ilege to see him the day before he left his
home in this place to attend the late session
of the Cecil Court. He was then in bed, but
in the pride of his profession, imbued with
conviction of his duty to his clients, and
measuring up to the fullness of his position
rs counsellor to those whose lives were i'm
jeopardy, he left that home, in the very feeble
ness of his condition, with the shadows of
death already gathering about him, and laid
down his life in the cause of humanity, at
the very threshold of the temple of jus.
tice in our sister county 1t was in con-
sequence of promise then made to him that
l took part in those trials, to be present at
at which he yielded up his life. May we all
emulate his life, and forgetting his faults, if
any he had remember only his brightness
and his virtues.
The resolutions were then unanimously
adopted and ordered to be entered upon the
minutes of the Court.
On motion, the meeting adjourned.

Chairman.

effects. Also that two others were attacked
shortly after with the same symptoms and
are not expected to recover. George Glas-

Greek in this county, we learn also lost two
valuable steers few weeks since, from the
same terrible malady Our farmers and stock

LARGE Charlottesville. John r. Spicer,
country produce merchant of this place,
showed us head of cabbage at his store, on
Main street, the other day, raised by Mr.. Jas.
s. Barrow, near the Hickory, which Is Gu
.iosity. 1t is of the flat Dutch variety, a
perfectly solid head, measuring feet 8! inch
ches in circumference, and weighing full 1914
lbs. We cannot say that it is much for Aigh
but it is certainly some for .fat.
Since the above was written, Mr.. Mat.
Lowman, living on the farm of Jas Farpan-
dis, Esq, near this place, not only showed us,
but presented us with one of the drunlhead
variety that beats the above. The last mon
ster cabbage measured A feet in circumference
and weighed with the root and ground leaves
cut off, 10 lbs. and IA ounces Mr. l.. informs
us that when this is beaten, he has one still
growing to bring on against all competitors,
that is larger yet. We think it will be
some time before he will be called on to pro-
duce his No. 9.

the age ofthe gallant knights, lent the charms
of their presence on the fitting grounds, and
the contest called out all the skill and dexter

The tap of drum signalled the start, and
after series of fittings that displayed the
pedestrian and lancing skill of the knights,
the result was announced as follows:
Knight of Stafford named and crowned
Miss Maggie Bouldin, as Queen of Love and
Beauty, he having taken the ring an equal
