neighborhood.

the corner of Fourth and Lombard streets, was
accidentally discharged last Monday afternoon,
when the tile ball passed through the arm Of
Gilbert Clay, who Is head walter at Tie Clay
ton house. Luckily the bone was not injured
and the wound though painful Is not consider
ed dangerous.
Shooting ABray,-A dispute ensued between
two col0red men named James Nelson and
Gould who occupied house near the corner
OF Fifth and Pine Streets, last Tuesday morn
ing, when Nelson fired a pisto,, aud the ball
which hit Gould In the head luckily glanced

Mad Dog.-A mad dog visited Fairville,
Chester county, Pa, on Saturday, creating
considerable excitement. The dogs of Samuel
l.. Garrett, Sharpless Windle, Preston Walker,
amt others, were bitten. He was pursued by
the citizens, but escaped TO commit depre-
dations in some other place. On Sunday MORN
Ing he was seen near Chadd's Ford. Mr.. Gar
re,t killed his dog, and the other parties shut
theirs up. The wisest plan is to Kill them and
thus put it ont of their power to do mischief.
Farmers and others from the country, want
ing Teas, Cotlees, or In fact anything In the
grocery line can do 10 better than order them
from W. II. Bowman, Second and King streets
and GIL King street. Mr.. Bowman has full
stock unexceed by any in the city, and his
prices are down 10 the lowest mark consistent
with fair dealing. Without mixing a specially
of any leading article he aims to make small
profit on all, believing that "many mickle
makes muckle."
Large Sale.-At the sale OF X. c. Fraim,
Executor of Samuel Segars, deceased in st.
Georges Hundred, on Tuesday, last there was
very large attendance, and Notwithstanding
the scarcity OF money, every thing soil brought
very high prices, farm horses sold from Sll0 to
1904 each; colts under one year brought 800,
$85, and ST. each; young bull $40; young oxen
unbroken $72; two pens of shoat pigs sold from
SIS to SIS each; and every thing else in pro-
portion. Messrs. Rowbotham Fraiin, Auc-
tioneers.
Closed.-The upholsterlng and furniture ,es-
Enlistment Of George MacaH & Son, In the
Masonic Temple, was closed by Sheriff Arm
strong on SATURDAY. last, at the instance II sew
eral creditors, among whom were 7. Y. De
Normandie, OF this city, and Darlington, De
| youth & Co., of Philadelphia. The liabilities of
| the firm are variously estimated at from $4,000
| to $4,000, while the assets are put down At
| from $2500 TO $500 MIR. Macan has been en-
gagged in upholsering for many years, and we
| really regret to hear Of his failure TO make both
| ends meet In satisfactory manner.
| Reduction.-At the meeting CT the Board of
Education last Monday evening, Mr.. Zebley
Il
inUendent of Public Schools from $500 10 81
500 per annum. He stated that when the sup
erintendent was first elected the salary was
fixed at $1,000, and 1t was then understood that
he was to act as Secretary thus saving saving
5000 per annum, the amount paid TO that Off
Ger. Notwithstanding the fact that the Sup.
erintendent was willing to accept the posi- ion,
he was soon relieved Of the duties Of Secretary,
aud his salary was Increased to $1,000, and then
to $500. The motion to reduce was laid
over TO nextmeeting.
Excluding Non-residents motion has
been made in the Board Of Education to ex
clude children whose parents do not res de Ia
our city, from the public schools. rule oil
this kind would be too sweeping In its charac
ter. 1t should merely exclude all children who
! do not reside in our city. II child becomes I
resident or member of family In our city, 4
certainly should be permitted to attend the pub
lie schools. But where children reside will
, theis parents, IN the adjoining districts, an'
come Into our city in the morning and return
home at night, there can be but one opinion il
regard to the justice of their exclusion. The!
have no claim whatever for such privilege, an,
. cannot complain OF any rule the Board maj
adopt on the subject. Still, where the school
are not full, and no demand for seats we woul'
: not enfore the rule rigidly. The case Of Nc. /
: particularly should form an exception. Tn
: adjoining district has not sufficient number Z
e families to maintain school, and at the mex

q the drawing OF the dividend from the State.
Q Neroe.-Our fellow, townsmsn, Joshua Heal
b Esq, Is really man Of nerve aud pluck. Nc
d wthstanding the severe storm on Saturday, hi
q sale of fifty-seven building lots took place
ii advertised, clearly demonstrating that he meal
