FLIGHT AND AN UPSET.
Yesterday, horse, attached to sleigh, both
belonging to DR.. Benjamin Thompson, of Broad
Run, was hitched to post in front OF the store
of Washington Ewing, in Landenberg. Not far
of was an old hen, standing knee deep in the
snow, and whose feet becoming cold, concluded
to take flight to warmer quArters. Acting un-
DER this impulse, she poised her wings, then
Tapped and started on her aerial fight not know
ing where she was going, and caring less whore
she would reach terra trina.
Steering in the direction of Mr.. EwinR's store.
the first inviting object presented, upon which
she could warm her benumbed feet waa the
round, sleek, fat back of DR.. Thompson's horse
upon which she gracefully alighted. The horse,
usually very gentle, demonstrated, by sundry
witches and kicks. against his back being used
for hen roost, but the hen persisted in main
tanning her position, which finally resulted in the
horse breaking away from his hitching post,
leaving the bride and sundry other harness be-.
hind, breaking and upsettlng the sleigh in the
middle of the road, and spilling the Doctors
chest of medicines in the SNOW.
The hen, after much ado, finding things get
ting lively, hunted quarters elsewhere, and the
horse, freed from ali enoumbrance, started at a
lively pace down the road, but was finally cap
tured, brought back, and after much mendng
and splicing, things were once more righted and
all went as smoothly a. before,

Defeat Of the ExsmptIon Act.

UoIont OF the E1empthom Ast.
II Ia q common thing for the Sheriffs Of Kent
and Sussex COUNTESS, Tin which, by Law, nothing
whatever is exempted from execution process, j
tj advertise for sale the beds and bedding, the
tools, industrial implements, and all similar pos
sessions of debtor. 1t is true that public
opinion more humane than the law often inter-
feres and, by common consent, manages the
sale Of such articles, at nominal price, TO the
debtor or his family, but this is simply eonclu-
aiye illustration Of the deficiencies which COM
pels the adoption Of such remedies 10 heal the
general system.
In New Castle County, there is an exemption
OF one hundred dollars measure something
better than the entire absence of any, but yet
far from sufficient. ~ 4G s
We regret therefore, to note the action of yes
terday, by which the excellent Exemption Lsw,
prepared and introduced into tho House, by Lewis
Thompson, was defeated in that body. 1t is an
injudcious, and unfortunate decision. Sound
and wise legislation demands the protection of
debtor. He should not be entirely stripped by
the law, Of all his possessions, nor be deprived
Of the means of maintaining himself and family
and repairing his broken fortunes.

oBrTuARy-MRs. SUSAN G. sUrroN.-I CoMmUN-
IoATED Mrs Susan g. Sutton, widow of the
late Doctor James n. sutton, died here last
night, about seven O'Clock. She was an orna-
ment to the Christian profession, a shining light
in the Presbyterian church, devoted and loving
wife, fond and affectionate mother, Q warm,
sincere and generous friend. She carried into
the practical duties of life heart alive 20 the
distressed of her fellow beings, and hand ever
open to relieve them. She will be sadly missed
in the church, in the Sabbath school, in the viii
lage, and in the circle Of her numerous friends.
Ali, all, old and young, will drop tear te the
memory of one whose many virtues, whose gem
tie manners as lady, whose cheering DISPOSE
ton, whose goodness Of heart, iberality, and
pleasant words will long be remembered by all
whose good fortune it was to know her.
There Is a voice we SHAH hear on earth no more,
There are tones, whose music for us is 0e'r;
sweet as the Odors of spring were they
Precious and rich. but they died away;
They came like peace to our heart and ear,
Never again will they murmur here;
They nave gone like the blush OF q summer morn
Like a crimson cloud through the sunset bOrne."
