THE INMATES OF TnE SUSSEX COUNTY
ALMsHOUsE NOT FORGOTTEN CHRISTMAS
DAY.
DIR. Charles II. Richards, Of Georgetown,
does not forget The poor on Christmas day,
nor, indeed, at any other time. A few days
preceding Christmas the Doctor goes to
Philadelphia and lays in large supply Of
confectionery, raisins, iigs, nuts, oranges,
apes, etc., aud returns home with these
articles before the arrival Of the holidays.
The candy, ETC., are assorted and placed
into paper bags aud on CHRISTMAS morning
Il team is loaded with the good things and
driven to the Sussex County Almshouse,
where old and young, black and white,
sane and Insane alike get an equal amount
Of the tseat. They enjoy this sort Of thing,
and many times do the poor unforlunatts
say to the Doctor "Thank YOU" and
May God bless YOU"
This is the tllth time Or. Richards has
treated the inmates of the Sussex County
Almshouse on Christmas day, and as long
Us he lives he will probably continue to
do il.
In addition to DR.. Richards treat, Mr.
Short, the Superintendent of the Aims
house, prepared large aud excellent
Christmas dinner for those confined
in the institution. That they enjoyed 1t
would he unnecessary to say, and that they
will never forget Christmas, 1879, is
reasonable to expect.

We d,n't know what the Oldest inhabi-
tnut has to say about the weather, nor
does it matter, since his experience would
fail to make this miserable snow and cold
wind more endurable. But everybody
seems to be agreed that such a storm has
not visited US for years. For about 80
hours preceding this morning the wind
blew gale, accompanied with either snow
or hail, and although little snow or lall
has fallen to-day, the wind has not ceased
to hoHl nor has the mercury in the Their

Many sleighs are Gu the streets, but

WE'VE HEARD OF GEORGE BEFORE 80
George Tucke, the minstrel fraud, is again
in trouble, as will be seen by the following,
which we clip from the Smyrna Times;
George Tucke, boss Of a minstrel troupe
which Smyrna has not forgotten, has been
confined In Princess Anne (Md.) Jail for
breaking into the "opera house at CHS
field. Il appears that the citizens Of that
town got 50 tired OF his "show that they
locked the doors Of their hall against him,
aud he forced them open. lie was only
saved from arrest Ia this town by i've
yioins. His troupe stopped at one Of our
hotels, where these yiolins were again
seized for board he went to the other
hotel and managed to redeem them, when
the second landlord levied upon them he
managed to redeem them again and took
them to the hall, where they were seized
/ for rent and are In the possession of the
Board Of Commissioners yet. Our author
tiles have no particular use for these
/ instruments, but are PERFECTLY willing 10
| keep them Il the Maryland authorities
will keep Tucke aud prevent him from
affecting any more communities with his
troupe. Our citizens feel pretty sure that
If he could get those yioiins he'd work
himself out of his present difficulty and
bore some other community with his
worthless crowd.
