Daring RObbcIy IN MdsEe3

On Saturday night, shortly before o'clock
the residence of Mr.. Joshua Eagelston, five
miles from the city on the Belar road, was
visited by four masked men, supposed to be
white, who gained admittance by knocking
at the front door. The men Immediately
demanded Mr.. Eagelston's money, which
being refused he was handcuffed and Il pistol
presented to his head, with threat he would
be shot if he moved. Two of the party then
proceeded up stairs and thoroughly oyet-
hauled oil the drawers, lifted up the carpets,
and broke open trunk, from which SlOS
was taken. The robbers went - iaI ~ H.

CHUHJcd Circumstances.

We We're informed 10y the late Benz
Webb that he remembered when the
land III Chester county was 20 poor that
1t would not grow a crop Of grass Dne
OF our old citizens made the remark to
us few days since that he had visited
the Level below MiddlctoNn in 1881
and that great many Of what are now
the finest farms in the county did not
t1en produce enough grass to feed "A
II 'ck OF sheep. A number of the men
wAo owned farms there then still own
theA, But the circumstances are SO
changed that those who visited the Pc
ninsula Fair during the past week would
scarcely #uppose that such had been the
case. What changes may be produced
IN the lfe-tlmc Ct single man are not
only wonderful but exceedingly crafty
ing to those who are careful to note the
changed circumstances that surround
them after the lapse of forty wears
The successful exhibition Of the Fair at
Mlddletown marks an era i'll the agricul-
tural enterprise of New Castle county
and the State. Forty years hence such
exhibitions may be- common in every
county on the Peninsula. The present
candidate of the Democratic party for
Governor was Just turning into his ma
Jorlty about the time our old friend Wis
1T ID the Levels and has a vivid recol-
lection Of the Situation" at that time
Perhaps no man in the county has had a
better record or more beneficial infu-
elce upon the neighborhood in which he
hls lived. Undoubtedly he has been the
leading farmer and the land under his
hand has been made to blossom as the
rose He has diligently and persistently
e Dntinued his business as farmer, and
a a farmer he has prospered; his lands
are among the most fertile Of all that
beautiful region. So close has he kept
his children under his care that from his
parlor window the houses Of three or
four OF his sons are in view; and their
farms are carefully managed and con-
Quoted by their own labor. We say it
without fear Of contradiction that no
man in the State has done more for his
neighborhood than John p. Cochran;
and none has made fewer enemies. He
may to-day be classed as the first farmer
in the State. He has made a large for
tune; but so careful has he been that
his name can hardly be found on the
court records, either as complainant or
plaintiff, Notwithstanding he has pur-
chased and worked so many farms, that
he is reckoned the largest land owner in
the State. 1t is useless TO assail the
character Of such a man by mean and
contemplate insinuations. He has the
respect of all parties in his Hundred and
no man would be more missed. lie is
intimately connected with the whole of
the surrounding country, and there is
scarcely young farmer in the neighbor-
hood who will vote against him.

menting on n recent editorial in the Ad-
rertiSer makes these remarks: "lf it is
worth so much to the Democrats to have
the Sheriff's office under the direction of
Mr.. Herbert, then it is worth the best
and earnest efforts of Republicans to
defeat such hazardous and desperate
effort of their opponents" / have no
desire to have any control of the Sheriff S
office, and am not aware that it would he
any particular benefit to the Democratic

years, and tried to do so to the best in

people of New Castle county, including
the editor of the Commercial to be the
judges. Respectfully,
WILLIAM HERBERT
We are at total loss to understand
what the Commercial means by its refer
encc to Mr.. Herbert Certainly he has nc
control over the present Sheriff; nor
could he have any interest in having the
Office under his direction hereafter. The
Commercial may rest assured of the fact
that the people Of this county mean to
avoid the hazard" of having negro ju.
ries and negro constables and turnkeys
about the court. And to do this they
must elect the Sheriff and the Levy
Court Commissioners.
