ADVICE.

Never buy what you do not require
Because it is offered you cheap,
lis money thrown into the fire,
Where, then, is the profit you reap9
But should you Ger want to invest,
And want the best bargain Of all,
Why, get yourself handsomely dressed,
In cheap suit Of Clothes at TOWER HALL
For, though you may not require them at
the moment, they will keep, and the prices
are so very low that it will repay you to
invest NOW. Bennett & Co., Tower Hall,

Observation-Disclosures the National
Thanksgiving day was observed in Elkton
with Sabbath-like respect, particularly
in the early part Of the day. The stores
and all places of business were closed, ex-
cept the hotels and saloons. Service was
held in all the churches, where Thanks
giving discources we're delivered. Trinity
Church was decorated very tastefully and
appropriately with the fruits and products
of the earth. In the evening Thanks
giving Concert Of sacred music was held
at the NJ. E. Church, the singing being
chiefly by home talent. The concert was
a grand success, the church being crowed
and the performance received the highest
encomiums from all present.

Toys.-Why go further and fare worse,
when by patronizing Adams & Brothers
of Wilmington, Delaware, you can get just
what you want in endless variety and
quantity, thus saving railroad fare, freight,
and time; while the saving in price We
have no doubt would make an important
item. These gentlemen are wonderfully
enterprising, having determined this year
to import from France and Germany such
foreign made toys as were required to sup
ply their customers. Hence those who buy
of Adams & Brothers, will be sure of deal
ing with FIRST hands after leaving the vessel,
and will not be required to pay the profit
which jobber would add to the price.
All Cecil county toy dealers should buy
their toys and fancy goods from Adams &
Brothers. See their Kriss Kringle adver-
tisement in to-day's Wing.

The Late captain Fry.

We have read several touching &c.
counts of Captain Fry, who commanded
tho Virginius. He was native Of
Florida, but served gallantly in the Con-
federate cause in Louisiana. lie was
driven " hard fortune to join the expe-
dition in which he has lost his life. A
desire to procure the means Of support
Of wife and children induced him to uu-
dertake command which he we'll knew
to be perilous and uncertain. He mot
his fate brayely.
A friend, we'll acquainted with the
circumstances of his history. hands us
the following particulars:
Captain Joseph Fry. of the ill-fated
VirgInius, was we'll known and much
loved in the city Of New Orleans. An
officer OF the United States navy, upon
the secession of the State of Louisia M,
he resigned his commission and cast his
fortunes with his native land. His first
command in the Confederate navy YVES
o tug-boat, converted into q gun boat,
called the Joy" She carried two
small guns. When the United States
fleet, under the command of Oommo-
dore Bell, first attempted to take pos.
session of the Mississippi River, Com
modore Hollins, G. s. NJ. determined
to attack them where the river divides
into the four separate branches which
form it's delta. Captain Fry, with bis
little gun-boat, behaved with the great
est gallantry in tho fight that ensucd.
The slQops of-wur Richmond. Vincennes
aud Water Witch, and several others.
retreated az fast as possible down the
South west Pass to the Gulf aud there
joined the United States frigato Sabine.
The Richmond and Vincennes grounded.
and, while the McCrae, Confederate
sloop. .of.war,) under the command OF
Captain Thomas Huyer, of South Caro-
lima, attacked the Richmond, the Joy,
under Fry, forced the captain aud crew
OF the Vinctnnes (>ixtccu gnns) to de.
sert her.

UNFORTUNATE COINCIDENCE. - Tho
house and everything it contained, be-
longing to Manda Speed. colored, near
Abbevi!le, was destroyed by fire last
Saturday. The fire originated in the
chimney, which was wooden. On the
same day the house of tho husband, six
or eight miles from Abbeville, was
burned. A kind Of strange coincidence,
that husband and wife should be burned
out on the same day, at the same hour
and from the same cause.
The Cuban Gen. Ryan, shot at Santi-
ago de Cuba, was not, as was generally
supposed, an Irishman, but was native
of New York. In journalistic circles he
was known as whilom conductor Of Oar
Society, New York publication which
he edited to death few yeats ago.

sidence near Brushy Greek, Greenvillo

was defurct. It can borrow no moro

is rather dangerous, although. it does

CXAu6y WVIu1uSs Nvvs @As 4osO'

Tho 0harleston city Election.
We learn from the Neus that the old
City Council resolved, on last Saturday,
to vacate their seats, aud Mr.. Cunning
ham and the new Aldermen were sworn
in on Wednesday. We are sorry that
she Wagsner administration did not
hold on and exhaust every effort in the
cause of good government. Bat it ap-
pears that the difficulties were too greet
to encounter. The law under which the
election was held had for object TO-
wrest Charleston from the hands Of the
Conservatives. Governor Moses, it
seems. had given ont that any citizen
Of the State could vote at the Charles
son election. Mr.. Chamberlain, in his
argument before the Election Oommis.
sioners, said that he, or any body else,
could have voted in this election if,
being present in the city, they had
chosen to. do 80. Voters from the
islands, or anywhere else, only needed
this hint to come forward and deposit
their ballots. Mr.. Taft, one of the
Commissioners of Election, dictated the
oath necessary to be administered to
voters, and conveniently omitted the
requirement of CITY residence. The
way was thus made easy and plain. Re-
peaters could como in and vote without
any fear OF Indictment for perjury.
Precincts were opened to receive votes
ON the morning of election, and with.
eut previous notice. This, too, was in
the spirit OF the election law. Under
these circumstances, only one result
could have been expected. The triul
Of the contest was before the very same
officials who had adroitly managed tho
election. It was part of their pro.
gramme to declare the election regular
and legal, and it was done.
In anticipation of the old Council
holding on and of further steps being
taken to bring the whole matter before
o new and higher tribunal. Mr.. Mackey,
one OF the Aldermen elect. and men,
ber of the House of Representatives.
has introduced bill into the Legisla-
ture making it an offence punishable by
ane and imprisonment.for any officer to
hold his Office after his successor had
been elected and duly qualified. It
thus became evident that the whole ma
ohinery Of the State Government would
be used to secure the fruits of the party
victory. and that if Mayor Wagencr
and his Aldermen attempted to hold
over, that they might be forcibly elected,
andth city placed under martial law.
The City Attorney has advised further
that the old Council should contest the
matter no longer. Agreeably to this
advice. they have abandoned the con-
test and vacated their seats. As we
have said, we regret that they did not
make better fight. There wus trouble
ahead in doing this, we know, but it
seems to us that it was duty which
should have been met, and the conse-
qnences left 10 God. As long as we are
willing and ready to yield, these people
will be found eager and forward to op-
press and insult.
