Vigorous Crusade.
The ant-liquor crusade broke out in Middle
town last Saturday. Not exactly in the manner
and after the style in which it has been carried
on in the west, but in way that was, for the
time, quite as affective, in the accomplishment o.
its object.
An ''American Citizen of African descent,
named Sam Jones, not being a Local 0ptionist
imbibed rather too much of the ardent, and he
came, in consequence, most "gorionsly drunk. u
Thc "wife of his buzzun,' having heard, prob
ably, of the women's fight against rum, determ
ined to take this case in hand. Accordingly
she went up to her liege lord who was sitting
upon a box in front of Mr. D. MeKee's grocer,
store and peremptorily ordered him to get NJ
and 20 home with her. This, Sam refused to do
She repeated her order, and he again refused
Prepared tor the emergency, she laid hold of
hoop-poe and began belaboring his shoulders a
lively rate. Unable to stand such gentle sua
sion, Sam endeavored to get out OF the way, bu,
as the brick in his hat was too heavy for him h,
fell over into the gutter. This did not cause his
spouse, who was now thoroughly mortified, "te
cease her efforts, but she continued to s'lam
him Crawling out of the gutter, he staggered
across the street, but still that vigorous crusader
followed him. Unable to go further he fell into
wheelbarrow, and still that 'gad' whstlet
over and upon his shoulders. At last he surren
dered, and agreed to 60 home and his wifi
through her s'persuader'' and started home witt
with him. Seeing she nolonger held the dreaded
stick, Sam concluded he wouldn't go, but HI
reckoned without his host. Some boys who wer
enjoying the fun handed the old lady her stcl
again, and after she had given him a little NOR
oft, Sam concluded he had enough, and walk
cd of with her as 'meek as any lamb
The example of Sans wife is respectfully com
mended to all in similar predicaments.
Sad Death from LOckjaw.
Miss Celia A. Harris, promising young lady
between sixteen and seventeen years ofagc, whit
resided at Johnstons Cross Roads, near Seaford
died on the 9th Instant from an attack of lock
Jaw, brought about under most peculiar cirenm
stances. About week previous to her dealt
she was assisting her brother to hold hog il
Its pen, when she received slight abrasion Of
one of her hands. She paid no attention to it a
it seemed a trifling matter to complain about
N the night before her death, however, she ex
perienced a painful sensation in her throat, an
shortly afterward her jaws became tightly lock
ed, and conyulsion followed, which continued il
ouick succession until short time before dealt
