had only this consolation: his

meeting on that December
morning, with Martha Hawkins
behind. And as Miss Hawkins
was not used to this mode Of
locomohon, she was in a state
of delightful fright every time
the horse sank to the knees in
the soft, yellow Flat Creek
clay. -
"We don't go to church go at

of the SQuire's horse, and al.

the mares foot went twelve
inches down into this track, the
muddy water spurted higher
than Miss Hawkins head, and
mottled her dress with golden
spots of clay. She gave a lit
tie shriek,a and declared that she
had never "Seen 1t so at the
East"
The journey seemed a little
long to Ralph, who found that
the subjects upon which he and
Miss Hawkins could converse
were few; but Miss Martha
was determined to keep things
going, and once, when the con-
,versaion had died out entirely,
she made desperate effort to
renew it by remarking, as they
met 2 man on horseback, aThat
horse switches his tail just as
they do at the East. When /

fact, few we're thinking OF the

THE MANIA FoR SELF MURDER IN QUEEN ANNI's
COUNTY.

THE MANIA FOR SELF MURDER IN QUEEN ANN
COUNTY.
Mr.. Thos. l. C. Cowley a highly respected
and well to do farmer residing near Queenstown,
committed suicide Oh Sunday morning, the 11th
inst. by taking strychnine. Mr.. O. was on a
visit TO his father-in-law residing on Kent
Island, and shortly after breakfast he complained
Of feeling eick, and died in very brief space Of
time. In one Of his pockets was found paper
of strychnine, which led to the summoning of
a coroner's Jury, who, after hearing all the evil
dence in the case, rendered verdict to the ef-
feet that the deceased came to his death from
poison administered by his own hand. Mr.. q.
was possessed Of considerable property was OF
temperate habits, and it is difficult to imagine
any cause for the perpetration of this fatal act.
This makes the fifth suicide of persons in that
county in less than twelve months.

The Black Art.

LINGERING REMAINS OF IT, DOWN THE PENINSULA.
A correspondent at fredericksburg, Caroline
County, writes us;
No better argument could be presented for the
recessity of improvement in educational facii-
ties on the Peninsula, than the ready credence
given, in many portions Of Delaware and Mary
land, to the pretensions of Professors of the
'.Black Art" In the region lying between Sails
bury and Crisfed there is a woman who has ac-
auired quite an ascendency over the minds Of
the superstitious. They consult her in person
and by letter upon variety Of subjects, and in
numbers, incredible.
There are many others Of lesser note in the
lower part of Delaware, and in Caroline and Tai
bot Counties. Attention having been drawn to
o; c of these imposters residing near this village
| in tue columns OF the newspapers, accompanied
| by certain threats of turning him over to the
| tender mercies OF Grand Jury, it has determin-
| ed him to remove, we understand, from this
locality. Proper attention to these imposters by
| the gentlemen of the press would soon rid the
country of their mischievous maehinationS and
practices.

The Cream Of the story---lIr. Daniels nnd His
Family.
To gte Editor of he Commercial:
In looking over a recent issue in the Gazette, l
see an item from the COMMERCIAL in relation to
Mr.. Jacob Daniels, of Appoquinimink cor
respondent OF the first mentioned paper tells US
that the " best part Of the story" was not told,
and consequently he proceeds to inform us that
"Mr. ID. has nine sons, who are voters, and at
the last election they ALL with their father voted
the Democratic ticket" Now, Mr.. Editor, in my
opinion, the cream Of the story is to come yet.
The Gdzette's correspondent certainly omitted
the best chapter. The facts in the promises are
simply these: Mr.. ID. has six sons, only who are
voters. Mr.. d. and his family have been life
long opponents of the Democratic party; and
though for reasons best known to himself, he
voted the Democratic ticket, at the last election,
he now regrets that one stain upon his bright
political reputation, and says that if Heaven will
forgive him that, he will never be caught ii
such company again. His association with the
Democratic party began and ended on the day o.
the last election. Being personally acquainted
with Mr.. Daniels, know whereof speak. H'
is thorough Grant Republican. II.
