man, named Ann Montgomery, who was
staying at the time with the family of Mr..
Adam Hildt, near Jarrettsyille, committed
suicide by cutting her throat with shoe
makers knife After breakfast she was OBJ
served to go to the grindstone and sharpen
the knife with which she committed the deed
but nothing was thought of the circumstance
at the tine. She then seated herself on the
back porch, where she was discovered some
time afterwards dead but still seated in her
chair with her head resting on her breast,
and the fatal knife lying in her lap. She was
without friends and helpless and it had been
determined to send her to the Almshouse
Some days before her death, it is stated that
she had in her possession about two hundred
dollars, but as the money could not be found
after her death, il is supposed that she must
have lost it. The loss other money or her

is supposed, led her to take her own life The

gentleman, whose health had been failing for
several years past, died at his residence, near
Perrymansville, on Wednesday of last week.

A Nice AppOintee.

The York Tribune says Any
President who would re-appoint
to Office such man as Collector j. f.
Casey, of New Orleans, might be fair
ly given over to blindness of mind and
hardness of heart. Mr.. Casey was
Extensively active in the original Louis
ana troubles; he lent the Custom
House service to the conspirators who
attempted to break up the Legisla-
ture; and all his acts were so notori-
'ously at war with the principles of
common decency that the Congress
Committee of Investigation could
only submit the facts and silently await
the result. The result that Casey was
retained in power; and now he has
been again appointed to the position he
has so openly and shamefully abused.
There never was any palliation offered
for Casey sconduct. The only reason
which can now be found for his persis-
tent retention in Office is either that he
is the Presidents brother-in-la OF
else that the Presidents chivalry COM
pels him to stick by a man for whom
nobody else has good word"

A FATAL DISEASE.
The Symptoms. Progress and Cure for
.CerebrG-Spinal Meningitis.

This disease, which appears to have
broken out as an epidemic here, as well
as throughout the country, is attracting
much attention. 1t is supposed by
some to be all inflammation ofthe mem
ingies or enveloping membranes ofthe
brain and spinal cord. 1t is no new
disease. and is well known to our ply
sicians. The causes which produce it
are unknown, but it is generally attrib-
utable to the cold and damp months of
late winter and spring months, and is
more prevalent in low, miasmatic re-
gions than in the more elevated por-
lions of the country.
The seyerest cases are generally
ushered in with chill more or less Sc
we're. In many of these cases that
have occurred here, this chill has
proved fatal
After reaction or return of warmth
the disease is fully developed. The,
patient suffers with intense pain in the
head, neck and spine, with tendency
to draw the head backward, face flush
ed, eyes suffused, pupils contracted,
restlessness, hard pulse, quick respira-
ton, hot skin, thirst, vomiting, con-
stipatiOn, delirium, and frequently con-
vulsions. As the disease advances the
delirum gives place to stupor or drOw-
siness, the pupils become dilated, the
hearing frequently very much impaired,
the pulse feeble and great prostration.
The disease has been known to cont
plete its entire course in eight or ten
hours, but more frequently from the
fifth to the tenth day.
No class of our population, nor age
nor sex is free from its attacks; the old
and young are alike liable, but ma
jority of the cases here have been
amongst the young.
Many believing it to be an infamy
atory disease, treat it energeticall-
withantiphlOgistics. In the chill cOun-,
ter-irritants are used freely to the eX-
tremities such as mustard. with mus
tard plasters to stomach. bowels. spine
and the internal administration ofsuch
stimulants as may be on hand or readily
accessible, at the same time full and
free purgation and application of eXter
nal warmth As soon as reaction has
takeniplace sulphate ofquinine should
be administered freely. If there is
sleep or drowsiness, leach the temples
and apply blisters to the neck and
spine. The neutral mixture and cool
lcmonades may be given during the
fever. The diet should be of the
mildest kind, and the patient kept as
quiet as possible. ConvalcScence will
generally be slow As it is very fatal

In reference to the matter. the Bnlletia (Rep.)

when the whole tide of evidence runa unchecked

Tho Sussex Journal from which the above is

We do not believe this can be true. The Journal
does not fairly represent The intelligent Democrats

at all. Daring the campaign it became a negro

misrePresenlaled nearly every "intelligent Sussex

In the same article in which you are tol1 that
you shall have no more representation, you
are told that the Republicans are the advocates Of
it-that the GAZETTE has sheen whipped into,
advocating greater representation.
Twenty years ago the Democracy OF Sussex in
Convention accorded New Castle county greater
representation. The GAZETTE advocated tho
adoption of the Constitution then made. While
the Hon. James A. Bayard and the present Sma-
tor Bayard both opposed it on the ground that
representation according TO population was not
conceded. -.
The Jo,G nal need not say it IS "utteriy opposed
to opening the question" The question is open
and never will he closed by the people of this
county until their reasonable demands are granted
The people may be compelled to wait; but they
will be able some day TO force a surrender of all
that Is due They will not agree to pay two-thirds
Of the taxes, and be disfranchsed OF half of their
rightful repre- sentation any longer than they can
hep; and there may be such thing retaliation.
Very little now will satisfy our people and it
should be granted-and granted in a kind and
