DEATH OF CITIZENS OF HARFoRD.-We
chronicle with regret the death of Mr.. John
G. Sanders, of Havre de Grace, which oc.
cured on Tuesday morning, the Goth of Feb
uary, in the 10Th year of his age. Mr.. San
ders was Il native of Virginia, and settled in
Havrc lie Grace about the year 1887, in con-
nrcton with the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore railroad. His relations with
this company were continued in various Ca
pacities, until few years ago, when he en-
gagged in store-keeping. He was widely known
in Hartford, and justly esteemed for his up
right and blameless character His remains
were inferred at IIavre de Grace, on Tuesday
of last week.
William NJ. Ady, Esq, another well known
citizen of Hartford, died on Sunday night last,
of pneum onia, after an illness of about a
week. He had been II prominent member OF
the Democratic organization for many years,
Delegates in 1863. He was an active and
philosophical citizen, and his death will be
deeply felt. He was in the sixty-second year
of his age, and was buried at St. Igna-
thus Church, on Wednesday.

ARRESTED FOR BEATING HIS WIFE.--On
Friday last peace warrant was issued by
Justice Snowden, against one Lewis Fred
erick, a shoemaker, upon oath of his wife,
who charges him with brutal treatment of
her. Sheriff Forwood and Deputy Alexan-
der proceeded to Frederick's house, at the
Red Pump, near Bel Air, where they found
him ensconced at the head of stairway, pro-
tected by door. The Sheriff summoned him
to come forth and obey the mandates of
the law, but like the immortal General
Zach. Taylor, he declared he never would sur
render Sheriff Forwood thercupon got an
axe, with which he battered down the breast
works and captured the garrison, but not
without desperate resistance from Freder-
lex, who cut and slashed at him with shoe
knife in the most vicious manner. Fredc-
rick now Eliminates in Bel Air Jail.

THE WEIGHING OF GRAIN.-The office OF
weigher of grain, we understand, will expire
on the first of May ensuing, unless the Leg
slature should re-enact the law authorizing
the re.appointment of this official. Pre-
vious to the passage of the law providing
Tor the weighing of grain by a sworn officer,
it happened not unfrequently that when
grain was shipped to commission merchant
to be sold, the buyer was allowed to measure
the shipment himself, and report to the COM
mission merchant the amount of the load
II this tailed with the owners statement OF
the amount shipped well and good; if not, the
buyer would only take it upon his owr
measurement, and if he was not as honest as
he should he, the farmer was frequently the

BRITISH BONE SHELIs.-A correspon-

the following:
The water having been let out of the ca

day afternoon Mr.. Lingan Spencer, of this
place, discovered a dark object beneath the
shallow water. He Immediately got boat
hooks and with some assistance succeeded
in eXtricating from the sand (where they
were deeply imbeddcdD two bomb-shells, of
considerable magnitude. They measured
across the opening one and a half inches,
were eight inches in diameter and weighed
about seventy pounds. AS the workman

the general opinion was that they were
placed there by the British during the war of
1912. AS they are considered quite curl

A SUPERB ANIMAL.-Mr, Eldridge w.
Gallup, of this county, is the owner of one
of the handsomest specimens of the equine
race that we have ever seen. He is mag
nificent glossy black, full sixteen hands high,
of splendid form and bearing. He was sired
by r. L. Morgans Patrick Henry, out of a
mare sired by Col. Sewells thorough bred
Tramby. Patrick Henry was a halfbrother
to the celebrated racer Ethen Allen, and was
regarded as the finest horse ever owned in
Hartford. Mr.. Gallup's horse, which he has
named Morgan" is worthy successor of
his noted sire. While we do not pretend to
any skill in judging of the merits of horsefesh,
we could not but look with admiration ut
this noble animal.

BREAKING UP OF WINTER The ice in
our streams, unable to resist the softening
influences ofthe sun, is breaking up and float
ing out into the bay. On Sunday all the ice
had disappeared from the Susquehanna, be-
low the railroad bridge, at Havre de Grace,
but stern old Winter, as if 10th to surren-
der his dominion, reasserted his power, and
succeeded for short time in staying the
melting process. The apprehensions of dan
ger to the bridge at Havre de Grace, from
the breaking up of the ice in the river, are
allayed for this season at least. Gunpowder
and Bush rivers, we are told, are entirely
clear of ice.
