Kansas points.
The roads are splendidy built, have the
best bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform

prevent the loss of life that is everywhere
else happening); Pullman's sleepers, Pull

engines to make quick time and good con-

Park or Garden :-Our City Fathers
have large force at work this week, on
"Dolly Warden" street, the new street
which intersects Main street, opposite
Collins Lane" We were unable to learn
whether they designed it for a park or vege-

it will cost, than the vegetables or flowers
thew will raise.

Dea.eased.-SylvesterD d. Townsend died
at his res idence, near Summit Bridge, Del,
on Saturday night last, in the list year Of
his age. His illness was of about eight
weeks duration, during the most Of which
time he suffered intensely. Mr.. Townsend
was known to some extent in this county,
and we'll and popularity known IN his own
county of New Castle. He was man of
general intelligence, and thoroughly practi-
cal in his ideas; and being honest and
straightforward in his dealings, he was
frequently chosen to fill public offices of
trust and responsibility.

Left Town.-Dr. r. Fl. Tuft, who has
been successful practicing physician in this
town and vicinity, left here on Tuesday
last, to locate in Philadelphia. His father,
having given up farming, sold out his stock
this spring, moved from the country to the
city, and the Doctor accompanied him.
The Doctor had built up good practice,
and was very popular. His departure is
regretted by his numerous friends.

Suspicious Charatters.-On Tuesday last
two finely dressed gentlemen stopped off
the cars at Elkton, who had a draft for
$462, drawn by an Albany Bank on New
York Bank, which they presented at the
counter of the National Bank of Elkton,
and had cashed. After reflection the Off
GERS of the Bank came to the conclusion
that the transaction had suspicious look,
and summoning the Sheriff, went in pur-
suit of the two strangers. The six O'Clock
P. NJ, train for Baltimore was nearly due,
and the gentlemen were found at the depot
waiting for the train. Teller Brown ex-
planned to them that he felt under the
circumstances-they being entire strangers
here-ebliged to request them to refund
the amount paid on their draft, till they
produced satisfactory evidence of their
identity. The gentlemen readily agreed to
this proposition and refunded the money,
and doubtless felt greatly relieved when
they found after paying the money over to
the Sheriff, that they were allowed to pro-
coed without arrest and detention in Jail.
That they were a couple Of forgers, and
should have been detained till a further
investigation of their case was had, is the
general opinion. After they were gone
several could relate suspicious crcumstan-
ces, which had come to their knowledge,
among those was desire to hire team to
drive to Perryville on some pretended bus
mess before the cars arrived. The fellow
in whose favor the draft was drawn gave
his name as Hayden. They promised to
return the next day, and satisfy the Bank
officers, but they were careful not to do so.

Public School ExhibitiOn.-The pupils

Public School ExhibitiOn.-The pupils
of Pilot Town School gave their animal
exhibition, on last Friday evening. The
school room was handsomely decorated for
the occasion, and was filled by a large and
attentive audience, at an early hour. The
exercises CO insisted of dialogues, declama-
lions, select readings, vocal and instrument
tai music.
The selections for the occasion, conld
not have been surpassed. They were new
and admirably adapted to the peculiar tai
ents of each speaker.
The young orators did remarkably well.
We hope they will continue to do so, and
give us yearly an entertainment Of the
same kind.
Aside from the benefit derived from de-
carnations, compositions, exercises, &C.,
in the public schools, these exhibitions
awaken an interest among parents in school
matters-they bring a part of them to the
school house once year, at least, to the
advantage of all concerned.

Farmers tiOn-Arrangements are


Farmers AssOciatiOn-Arrang are
on foot for holding preparatory meeting,
on Saturday, tho 4th of May next, at the
Hall, over MIR. Coney's store, in Chesapeake
City, the object of which is to effect an
organization among farmers. If this step
is responded to in the proper spirit by the
farming interest, it cannot fail to result in
much good. The pressure Of all other pur
suits, nearly all of which have organiza-
lions for mutual protection and encourage
ment, is becoming very heavy upon the
farmer. Where neighborhood organiza-
tions among farmers have been formed and
properly managed, they have invariably
been kept up, which is evidence that they
have proved of sufficient benefit to'their
members to claim that attention necessary
to their future growth and prosperity
We hope that the farmers of the First and
Second Districts will feel that interest in
the matter which will result in complete
farmers organization. Other sections of
the county should not be behind in sim
liar work.

LEGAL Improvements G)-Our Town
Commissioners are stirring round lively
and kicking up a dirt before going out
They have completed stone dam across
Main street, opposite Drennen's "Central."
The site for the factory or mill hasn't been
staked out yet, but will be next week, per-
haps. The curb stones are being rapidly
buried out of sight; but we notice that the
small curbing, on many parts of Main
street, is tumbling down, where it has been
undermined by scraping the cutters out to
prevent the cholera or small pox visiting
us. The nearest approach to godliness that
our Town Commissioners manifest, is their
disposition to scrape out and keep the gut
tiers clean.
The tremendous excavations about the
east end of Back street, which have been
done, further mark the industry of the
present Board. This Back street work
belongs to that class of improvements of
which the " old FEEDER is conspicuous
example. A stranger viewing it would
readily conclude that ground had been bro
ken for a new railroad, and he wouldn't be
half as badly fooled as the Taxpayers, who
paid forty cents on the hundred dollars for
these luxuries. An election for new
Board will take place the first Monday in
May, and the present Board has manifested
so much industry that we propose their re-
election. It will take the taxes of two
years, at least, to pay for the improvements
they have projected. 1t might require
sharp looking to see the Improvements, but
the money has been spent, and that is an
evidence of them. Wonder if Macs have
got their stone bill-we mean the money
for the billo The new law provides for
lowering the tax. Stone bill-punning on
the sound reminds us of spoon-bill, the
name given very awkward-looking bird,
with bill resembling a huge spoon
Wonder if the tax payers don't feel some
thing like that bird looks decidedly spoony?
Having seen no statement for years, some
Of them, who are anxious to know how the
money goes, are said to be bellicose and
unreasonable; and cite the fact as presump-
tive evidence of fraud, jobbery, official cor
ruption, malfeasance in office; all of which
is very foolish, of course; but some men
are suspicious creatures, and office-holders
have reputation of being such rogues.
The hogs are great source of discomfort
to some fault finding folks, who apparently
envy them the freedom of the town, which
they seem to enjoy immensely, and PRONE
made the streets with a free and easy air
that indicates entire satisfaction.
There are some little improvements which
have been attempted by the present Board
that have not been quite perfected, but will
doubtless be in time; among which might
be named the attempt to make water run
up hill.
Every Board has its peculiar mania. A
former Board run mad in the direction of
an engine house. The present one took up
with the eurb-stone project. Had the
slabs been planted on end, in place of laid
down sidewise they would have served as
enduring monuments to the curb-stone
Board,
