The South wind sings OF happy Spring..
And Summers fastening on their way.
The South wind smells OF cowslip bells.
And blossom spangled meads OF May:
But sweeter IL her reu. red mouth
Than all the kisses OF the South.
Tho West wind brcathcs OF russet heath-,
And yellow pride OF woods grown old;
The West wind files from Autumn skics,
And sun-elouds oyerlaid with gold:
But the golden locks love the best
Outshine the glories OF the West.
The North wind sweeps from crystal decps,
And Arctic halls Of endless night:
The North wind blows DER drifted SHOWS,
And mountains robed In virgin white:
But purcr far her maiden's soul
Than all the SHOWS that shrond the Pole.
The Eas. wind shrills o'cr desert bills
And dreary coasts OF barren sand;
The East wind means OF sea-blanched bones.
And shipe that sink In eight OF land:
But tho cold, cold East may ravo and moan,
For her soft warm heart 10 all my own.

LOCAT OPTION ON THE EASTERN SHORE
The temperance men on the Eastern Shore
have been making an active canvass for the
past few months, and in three of the counties,
at the recent election, an odd move was carried
into effect. 1t was this: In Queen Annes,
Caroline and Talbot counties the politicians of
both parties were induced to print on the
tickets the words For Against Local
Option" Voters in favor of local option
merely had to erase the word against" and
those against local option could erase the word
'for, while those who did not want to vote on
the question at all could tear of the line
altogether. This was done merely as a test
question. There was nothing legally binding
upon any one in the vote, there being no Law
on the subject. 1T was optional, bat the cleo
tion officers agreed to record the vote, and the
result shows clear expression of the senti
ment Of the people in those counties in favor o
such law being passed.
In Queen Annes county the local optionist
have majority of 2ll, and in Caroline abou
250, but the figures are not explicit. We hayr
not seen a full statement of the vote. Ii
Talbot, however, detailed statement of th
vote was given, as follows: In favor of loca
option, 1900; against, $50; refusing to vote
939. Chasing those who voted blank ant
those who voted against together, and W
have 1878, which gives the local opfonis.s
clear majority of 322 in the county. We sup
pose the majorities for Caroline and Quee
Annes are counted on the same basis It
very evident, however, that if many OF thos
who did not vote had felt required to do so the
would have cast their ballots in the affirmative
In Elst9n 'hrre we're only 81 votes cast agains
local u Jjl in favor, and 4O2 blanks
In the other districts of the county, however
the vote against" was given with less reserve
Thus: in 81. Michaels district the vote "for
was 539; against, l05; blanks l3l.

SUPPOSED CASE OF POISONING AT LITTLE
CREEK LANDING.-A man named Robert
Wilcutts died at Little Creek Landing, on
Tuesday morning, under circumstances that
led many citizens there to believe that he had
been poisoned. Coroner Cats held an inquest
on bis body on Wednesday. A post mortem
examination, conducted by Drs. r. P Jump
and b 0. Shakespeare, we understand, showed
a condition OF the intestnes which might have
resulted from poisoning with strychnine. The
testimony before the coroner's jury went to
show that the deceased was jealous of his wife
and tended to connect young physician, who
boarded with the family, with the poisoning
but the circumstances narrated appear INSULT
cient to justify such a conclusion. A more
generous supposition is that the deceased poi

far Mr.. Gould has Withdrawn from the practi.
cal control of this railroad enterprise, but it is
quite certain that this sudden stroke of policy,
BY which it is proposed to pay off the indebted
ness and complete the work, is engineered by
him. The end isnot yet, though it is not supposed
that any forward movement in completing tC
work will be made before the spring. The

As many of our readers are interested in this
means of investment we publish the following
items concerning this Association. The Ga
zette says:
In the amount of its premiums the Delaware
has been very fuctuating. 1t was organized
during the war, when the volume of our
currency was much inflated, and money was in
but little demand and the premiums obtained
on loans were very low, ranging between and
10 per cent, and there have been times in its
history when the money was loaned at par In
this respect, therefore, the Delaware differs
from the Associations Of more recent date, and
it cannot be regarded as fair example of the
utility and practical benefits of the system
The other Loans, almost without exception
have obtained uniform premium on the mo
ney which they have sold, hence they will ex
pire in much shorter time than the Delaware

rapidly. The following is a tabular statemen

Having balance in treasury Of 81 ,455, 900,
your committee propose to settle all Outs,and-

take about 81, 24O, 900 additional bonds. which
deducted from the balance of 81 ,455, 900 Us
above, will leave $2l5,000 remaining to which
is to be added $23S, 900 OF bonds now held as
collateral, and $500, 900 paid on account of

both of which will revert to the treasury. This
makes a total of $753,OO0 from which is to be
deducted $l5l, 900 to provide for an equal
amount of the consolidated bonds of the New

sold. This leaves a balance Of $6U2 000 in the
treasury of the company.
Interest on the bonds issued by the company
in exchange for outstanding bonds and claims
is to begin to accrue on lst July, 1874, and all
coupons maturing or interest accruing on said
bonds before that d t.. is to be paid in the scrip
of the company, which said scrip shall be ex-
