cs3~ A character noted somewhat for
loafing around bar-rooms, was sitting ins
his usual place of resort, with several com
patriots, about card-table, killing time
with the paste-boards. Suddenly his wife
entered the room, bearing a covered disb
which she deposited on the table, with the
remark 'presuming, husband, that you
were too busy to come home to dinner,
have brought yours to you," and then de-
parted. The husband invited his com
panions to share his meal, and removed
the lid from the dish, revealing no smoking
roast but instead slip of paper, onwhich
was written; 81 hope you will enjoy your
dinner; it is of the same kind your family
has at home"

An INTERESTING CALCULATION
has been made BY . local, statistician
that be is responsible for increasing the
population OF the United States to the
number OF 1870. The local statisti.
clan goes to work in this way If" he
says. I'VE take the family OF Mr.. George
LIE Barre (spelling it corruptly La Bsr)

has ten children who have raised fami>
lies, and his grandchildren number
about eighty. Now. here is a tenfold
increase after we, throw away eight
children as non-producing. BE has .
son who has about the same number OF
grandchildren. Mr.. La Bar has
bad fourteen children in all, but if we
throw away three-seventbs for deaths
and casualties we will have four-sev>
enths or eight of the fourteen left as
producing members. He had ten such,
but we will make eight the producing
stock, and the result will show an army
OF l2,270." Following up this calcu-
lation, this arithmetician continues -
Again, Georges eight producing chill
dren increased by ratio Of eight and
We have sixty. four grand children then

MIXTURE OF RACES.
Georges father, with French blood in
his veins, married a German; George,
himself an American, married the
daughter OF a Hollander, 80 that the
breed by this time is about as variously
crossed as need be. Within the last
couple Of years the old man has grown
nervous, though in his younger days
none bad steadier pulse. Nor does he
sleep as souudly as was his wont; but
he treats death lightly, and saws he hss
only turned back to the small figures to
60 up the scale OF boyhood again, and
that he will soon be old enough to 90
TO school. He has never given up
KEEPING HIS OWN HOUSE
and his own table, and is too indepen>
dent character to be dependent even
on his own children. He married but
once, and then happily, and though
tempted to marry again. he said be
feared he might get devil, and de-
cllned to venture.
Such is the story OF old George LIE
Barre, who may vet live to see the cele-
brstion Of the Centennial OF Iudepend.
ence, and who is most likely the oldest
man living at this day in America.

day closed with an able and interesting
sermon by Few. Mr.. Mann.
A very large crowd of gipsies passed
through this District on Tuesday last. The
train consisted of six large wagons with
a number eff horses hitched behind them.
They halted for the night, near Fair Hill.
The company consisted of three brothers
with their v ives and children. They were

one was provided with good hostler.-
Upon inqu Try, we found them to be of

We would call the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement in another column,
of the Howe Machine Company, who have
recently established an agency for the
Original Howe Improved Sewing Machine
in our town.
They claim for it many superior quail
ties, which make it one of the best ma
chimes for all purposes now in use. We
quote the following from circular issued
by them:
"The Howe Machine Company. having
purchased the entire interest of Mr.. b. p
Howe, former owner Of the Improved
Howe Machine, and he having retired from
the same. Tho machine will hereafter be
built and sold by The Howe Machine Com
pany; but through separate Offices and
under as distinct management as before.
This machine having been before the pub
lie for many years, has had very large sale,
enjoys an enviable reputation, and being
in every respect truly first-class machine,
there is every reason why its manufacture
should be continued, and it is the settled
determination Of The Howe Machine Com
pany to press the sale of the same with all
the energy and enterprise that has charao-
terized the progress of their own, (The
Elias Howe) machine in the past.
we Jake Iuls early oCCdSlOn TO assure the
public that this popular machine is now
placed upon permanent basis, and that
machines and parts can be obtained with
the same promptness as heretofore.
From their circular it seems the oompa-
ny do not intend to give up the manufac-
ture of the Machines but will push it more
vigorously than ever. We are authorized
to state that positive arrangements have
been made for the manufacture of $4,000
of them. Persons who have already pur-
chased or contemplate getting one of these
Machines are advised not to have anything
to do with parties offering them at less
than cost, as they are wholly unauthorized
to sell them, and it will not be permitted by
the Company.
The Company's Agent at this place is
w. r. DRoNBERGER, who has charge of
the counties of Cecil, Kent and Queen
Anne.
The Office is in Galahers store room,
Main street. People are requested to call
in at any time and examine the Machines.

Land Sales.-On Tuesday last, Reuben
uaines, as Trustee and S. Burns, Auction
Ger, sold at the Court House door, on
Wednesday last, the Corcoran Farm, near
Brick Meeting House, containing 81 acres,
to Edward Yerkes, for $3.50.
On the same day J. T. Mccullough,
Trustee and s. Burns, Auctioneer, sold
the Frazer Farm, three miles south of
Elkton, description of which was advertis-
ed in The Whtg for $1,000. This property
was sold under mortgage, held by Mr.. D.
NJ. Mcfarland, Of West Chester, who
became purchaser. The claims against
the property were of mixed nature, and
the figures at which it was knocked down,
are not fair criterion for the market value
of the property.
