LOVE HIS TEAcHER.-Passing one of the
city schools, yesterday, we listened to the
scholars singing oh, how love myteacher,
dear" There was one boy with a voice like
a tornado, who was 50 enthusiastic that he
emphasized every word. and roared, 40,
how love my teacher, dear" with vim
that left no possible doubt of his affection
Ten minutes after that boy had been stood
on the floor for putting shoemakers' wax on
his teachers chair, got three demerit marks
for drawing a picture of her with red chalk
on the back of an atlas, been well shaken for
putting bent pins in another boys chair,
scolded for whistling out loud, sentenced to
stay after school for drawing ink moustaehes
on his face and backing another boys nose,
and soundly slapped for slapping three hun
dred and thirty-nine spit-balls up against the
ceiling, and throwing big one into girls
ear. You cannot believe half boy says
when he sings.-Bwlingio (Iopa) Hdpleye.

EXTENSIVE SALE OF BUILDING LOTS, YEsTERDAY-
over $50, 900 WORTH SOLD.
At Thullow (south Chester), yesterday after
noon an extensive sale of real estate was made
by Ward, Jones & Baker. A very large number
Of people were present, excursion trains, which
were well patronized, having been run from
this city, Philadelphia, and other places. The
Philadelphia Times thus describes the sale
At $40 per foot the ball WAS started and the
hammer fell at Sl3 so, Mr.. Wm Smith the pur-
chaser exercising his right of choice by secur-
ing forty feet, or two contiguous lots. Another
forty feet frontage changed hands at Sll 25,
and at $40 90 the next purcnae er appropriated 100
feet frontage. 1t would be wearisome to follow
individual details, suffice it therefore to say that
the whole of the 1853 lots offered for sale
found eager purchasers, who, by the
way, afterwards expressed themselves as highly
satisfied with their bargains. Before the sale
from 81 to SIS per foot was quoted AZ the ex-
pected proceeds and g.ance over the auction

TRAMP WHO HAD REvILED SOME RAILROAD KIM
pLoYEKs KILLED NEAR BLACKBIRD.
The morning train North on the Delaware
Railroad, to-day, brought as prisoners to New
Castle young man named Pat Ahearn, and a
tramp, name unknown. The former was
charged with murder; the latter WAS held as
witness in behalf of the State.
The circumstances Of the alleged murder are
thus related Last evening, while section men
employed by the Delaware Il. r. were at work
near Blackbird under tile charge OF Dennis
Ahearn, father of the prisoner, they were ap-
preached by two tramps, who after passing be-
gan to abuse the workmen, taunting them about
their religion, (Catholic) coupling their jeers
with oatbs and abusive epithets. Yonng Ahearp,
who is about 81 years of age, picked up some
stones and began to pet the tramps who were
several yards away, with them. The two first
thrown missed their mark but the third struck
one OF the tramps in vital spot and killed MIN
almost instantly.
Intelligence of the killing having been re-
ceived at Townsend, Mr.. Townsend, son of the
hotel-keeper at that place, who we relieve is a
State officer, went down to the scene of the
homicide and placed both Ahearn and the sur
viving tramp in custody keeping them over night
and conveying them to New Castle, this morn
ing. Coroner Groves went down to Townsend,
this morning, to hold an inquest.

MIppLErowr, Aug. 10.
An informal meeting OF some of the largest

propriety Of discontinuing the shipments of
peaches while the market is 80 depressed. The
Office of ]. Thomas Budd was crowded aud 30
was the pavement in front, every one showing
their interest in the matter.
Speeches we're made favoring the suspension
of picking until Monday next. when 1t will
again be determined whether it is advisable to
commence.
Committees were appointed to wait on farm
ars and ask them to cooperate, to act with the
meeting in its attempt to bring fair prices to
growers and shippers.
At present figures many who sent fine fruit
away lost money on it, and this step WAS found
necessary.

HIS POSSIBLE wITnDRAwAL-HIs HEALTH NOT GOOD
ENOUGH To STAND THE CANVASS -oTHER REA
SONS.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 19.-The Toledo Blade
this evening published the following article,
based on private information regarded by that
paper as entirely reliable
''There is rumor aaoat to the effect that the
condition of the Governors health is such that
his withdrawal from the Gubernatorial contest is
quite probable. His personal friends desire him
to withdraw for the protection of his health and
the prolongation of his life, while his political
friends regard his defeat for Cover
ernor as certain, which result would
be disastrous to his Presidential pros
pects. By his withdrawal from the Guberna-
torial contest and the placing of some other
man at the head Of the ticket, defeat in Octo-
ber would enable the friends Of Allen to go be-
fore the National Convention with the plea
that he is the only Democrat who can carry
Ohio. Thurman and his friends bitterly oppose
Aliens withdrawal under any circumstances.
as they expect to make capital in the National
Convention by the defeat OF Allen aud his
unlimited initiation scheme. These rumors are
now ahoat among certain inner circles of the
Democratic Party and should change be made
in the head of the Democratic ticket, it may be
looked for soon.

of persons, during these meetings, presented
themselves for the prayers Of the church, many
OF whom professed Il change OF heart.
The evening WAS devoted to short addresses
from the stand appropriate to the closing of a

to professors OF religion. He was followed by

when countermarch in front of the stand and
q general shaking of hands terminated the exer-
cises and formally closed the Brandywine SUM-
NIT camp meeting of 1875.
The Presiding Elder announced from the
stand the close Of the camp, but stated that re-
ligious meetings of any kind desired might be
held in the large tents. Accordingly the tents
were soon filed and the songs of prayer and
praise were re-echoing through the woods,
considerable revival having sprung up in the
st. Paul's and Sloan tabernaces respectively.
The meeting in the st. Paul's
closed about midnight, but that in Sloan WAS
continued until sunrise this morning.
Altogether, the camp is considered success,
the wet weather and the unfor-
tunate occurrence at the commencement.
