CAPE MAY, N. j., April 8.
Cape May is rapidly preparing for its summer
business many cottages have been rented, and
numerous persons visit us daily collecting others.
The prospect OF a thronged Island is very good.
Yesterday and to-day we're beautiful and spring.
like onTuesday at midnight, we had thuuder-
and lightning showers.
wrecked schooner lies on our beach, near
Gold Spring Inlet. Her name is the Clara Ddu.
tdson, Capt. Blackman, from Leachville, N. O.,
for Philadelphia with shingles, which they are
unloading on surf boats and conveying
to wagons standing in the breakers to be
hauled ashore. Surfmen and wagoners are wet
to the waists some being barefoot this cool
weather. Immense Quantities of shingles are
piled beyond high water. They are OF split oe-
dar, and splendid quality. Hopes are entertain
ed Of saving the vesAel, il the weather keeps
mild, but it blew strongly this afternoon, en-
dangering her. Our life saving crew boarded
her on Sunday morning and rescued the crew
and passengers unhurt, though suffering from
cold and exposure, the vessel being full Of water
and the sea breaking over her. They were COM
fortably cared for, here in the Life Saving Sta
tion House, No. SO.
Bad loss OF life has occurred upon wrecks by
Cape Henlopen, 13 miles acrss the bay from
here. The Norway bark Jens Ldssen beached
on the goth ulto., at Indian River Inlet, and
boat with the Captains wife and daughter, the
first and second mates, and two Sailors swamp
ed in the breakers and all drowned. The re-
mainder OF the crew stayed on the vessel and
were saved.
The British brig James Hua, from Palermo
for Philadelphia, ran ashore near Henlopen light
They unloaded and 1oated her off last thursday,
but she leaked 30 they had TO beach her again
The next day gale threw her down on her side,
and six wreckers on board Ashedi themselves in
the rigging, the high seas running over them. It
is reported here to-day that one of them
drowned one was rescued and four others were
still in the rigging exhausted. How they sue.
cesded in their attempts at rescue is unknown
here yet.
We watched the pilot skin leave to-day
through our angry surf, and only two rowing.
She broached to" for want OF a steersman and
nearly upset. On their return, the sea was 30
roLgh that one old greyhaired pilot grasped his
baggage and sprang into the surf, abandoning
his trip and cruise and the rest had great diff
Guilty in boarding the pilot boats lying at anchor
off shore. The skif was hidden between the
seas, at times and at others was high on their
crests. The pilots are such superior seamen and
boat managers that they rarely meet with acci-
dents, though. The day was beautiful, though
30 very windy. JOHN MCMAKIN.

School District No. 9e1.

vs. THE LEVY COURT OF NEW CASTLE COUNTY.
At meeting of the voters of School Distaict
No 2O15' held Saturday, April 5th, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS the assessment of a portion OF
this district has been increased the present year
to the amount exceeding the sum Of fifty thou
sand dellars, while the remaining portion was
not 80 increased.
AND WHEREAS II the increase of said as
sassment had been made npon all the voters
and property owners at the same ratio the whole
assessment of our district would have exceeded
Tho sum of one handred thousand dollars, there
fore;
Rtsolced, That the neglect or refusal of the
Levy Court to equalize the assessment, 30 that
the rich as well as the poor should bear a fair
and Just proportion of the taxes, deserves the
oenaure Of all thehonest citizens OF this coun-
ty.
ResOlUed, That the refusal of the Levy Court to
accept the roads and streets as sanctioned by the
Superior Court. while we are nearly a mile from
any of the Loads of this Hundred and pay road
tax on some seventy-fve thousand dollars il a
gross injustice, and just cause OF refusal to
pay the road tax nasmuch as We receive no
benefit or advantage from the same, while
we are compelled to keep our own
roads in repair after having already expended
at least four thousand dollars in their eonstruo-
ton and at the same time do not ask or expect
anything beyond what we pay for and which in
our opinion we thing we are justly entitled to re
ceive.
Resolued. That the officers Of this meeting be
requested.to have the proceeding Of this meet
ing published.

The Shooting Case in Cecil County.

ANOTHER THEoRY--wAs THE SHOOTING. INTBN-
TIoNAL OR ACCIDENTAL
Persons from the scene OF the tragedy, near
Bay View, Cecil County Md. OIL Friday bring
further particulars. 1t is now grave question
of doubt relative to tho manner Of the shooting;
and although Mrs Murray stontly asserts that
she did the act purposely, the circumstances all
point to the occurrence as the result OF an acci-
dent.
Mrs Murray had been giving her usual atten-
ton to household duties, and had nearly con-
cluded her morning labor. A greater portion OF
the house had been swept by her, and she had
entered the room in which the gun was sitting
to sweep it, The position OF the body, the ma
ture Of the wound, and other circumstances go
to show that in attempting to move the gun
from behind a trunk where it was sitting the
hammer in some way, became entangled, and
the gun was discharged. The load entered the
small Of the back, passed through the body,
just under the heart, and escaping through the
breast found Judgement in the ceiling above.
1t is claimed from this circumstance that il
would have been impossible for Mrs. Murray to
have sucided, and this opinion is fortified by
the position in which she and the gun lay. In
one hand were the broom and gun tightly
clutched, the broom next the floor, and she ly-
ing upon both.
On Saturday evening, Mrs. Murray was partly
concious and maintained that she did tho act in
tentionaly Her mind, however, is not believed
to be in healthy condition, for several days
before the accident occurred she gave unmistake-
able evidences Of insanity She remarked to one
of her SONS that there was man on the gate
post endeavoring to shoot her, and at another
time she said saw President Lincoln sitting up
on the limb Of q tree in the yard
Hopes are now revving for Mrs. MurrAy's re-
covery, il inflammation doesn't set in.

among the Swedes, was present, by invitation,
and the business of the meeting seemed to be to
investigate and pass upon allegations mado
against him Of creating dissatisfRctions among
the Swedish immigrants. Mr.. d. admitted having
said to some Of them that they might get higher
wages, in the large cities, but he denied having
persuaded any to leave their places. Several
persons, present. made statements to the con-
trary Of this. After some sharp remarks on Mr..

adopted, declaring him unworthy the public con-
