BcGuest OF B0OkS.-In the will of the
late Edmund PhysicE, of Philadelphia, adj
mitted to probate lately, is the following
bequest:-"I give and bequeath to the
Library of Nottingham Preparative Meet
ing of Friends, my large volume of Isaac
Pennington's works, with all my other
religious books, desiring that any OF my
relatives who may desire to read them for
instruction on their way heavenwards may
have access to them under the regulations
of said library"
In speaking of the above, the Oxford
Press says:
The above named deceased was a son of
DR.. Philip Physick, deceased, who lived
/
Cecil county, Md. DR.. Physick was a
brother Flaw of Com. Conner, of Phila-
dephia, whose descendants now own the
property near Row landsville, and are noted
stock raisers, having the place stocked with
the best improved breeds of cattle. The
Library of Nottingham, to which the above
beauest was made, is located at Brick
Meeting House, Md.
81, IL Il cd
1t is our impression that the deceased was
| a relative of the celebrated Philadelphia
surgeon DR.. Physick, but not a son.
Philip Physick, son of DR.. Physick, re-
sided on the farm near Rowlandsville, and
was brother in-law to Com. Conner, who: e
children now own the property near Row
landsville in this county. Philip Physick,
Jr., was not Doctor.
| PUPS and PistOls.-U nder this head the
Wilmington Commercial, of Tuesday, gives
an account of disgraceful affair at Lewis,
vile, Chester county, a small village just
over the line, on Sunday last:
| The following, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, are the particulars of the case
| Some few days ago, couple of females
We're indecently assaulted by two young
men who instead of giving their own names
gave those of two reputable young men
well known in the vicinity of Lewisville.
| These two young men were consequently
| arrested and taken before Justice of the
| Peace, where the evidence was of such a
character as to show that they were not
| implicated and were discharged. One OF
the acquitted young men, by name John
| Lee, smarting under this unprevoked at
tack upon his character, had very strong
reasons for believing that one of the real
! culprits was man by the name of Taylor,
a son of Joseph Taylor, the landlord at the
| Lewisvlle hotel, and at the same time
expressed himself as being fully convinced
of Taylor's guilt.
Thus matters went until Sunday, the 18th
instant, when Lee, who was walking along
the main street Of the village, was hailed by
| the elder Taylor and invited to stop at the
hotel. Lee had no sooner stopped than
Taylor accused him of yillifying his son,
and Immediately struck him blow with
his fist. Lee, recovering from the stunning
| sensation. paid Taylor back in the same
| coin, and gave him black eye in the bar
gain. At this crisis another avenger ap-
peared upon the scene, and Lee found an
enemy in the shape of bull pup attacking
him in the rear, which in these days of
| bydrophobia filled him with considerable
! alarm.
| Drawing a small pistol from his pocket,
which was intended for the dog, although
| Taylor doubted it, scutfle ensued for the
possession of the pistol, which was dis
charged, sending it's contents through the
tleshy part of Lees thigh. The fight hav-
ing become somewhat serious, as well as
disgraceful, outsiders finally interfered and
Mr.. Lee was taken to his home near by,
where his wounds were properly dressed.
Some visitors in the vicinity, unused to such
scenes, thought if that was the way Sunday
was passed, the other part of the week
must be decidedly unpleasant.
School Board.-The Board met on Tnes-
day last agreeable to the by laws. Present
all the members.
The minutes of last meeting were read
