Scraps of Local History.

A correspondence the Baltimore
1naerscan, in O Sunday lettef from
Bethel, Cecil county, Md, gives the
Following historical scraps, which are
quite interesting on account of their
local connections:
Before the Revolutionary war all the
neck of land between the Bohemia and
ELK Rivers was owned by Augustine
Hermann, the great local proprietor of
those days, who held it under grant
from the Crown of England, a title
which was common enough in colonial
times. His estate comprised thousands
OF acres in which is now known as Bo-
hemia Manor, Hermann having origi-
nally come from Bohemia. When the
Revolution commenced, his position
as the lord of the manor became one
of great Importance. Before hostilIi-
tic. had boon commenced he was sciz-
ed by one or the other parties, Tories
or PatrIots-it is not quite certain
which, but probably by the Patriots
and takon to prison in Philadelphia,
On some pretext he was condemned to
death and the hour of his execution
appointed. AS it drew nigh, he asked
for the privilege of saying farewell to
his favorite horse, magnificent stall
lion of great speed and strength. The
animal was led into the room in which
he was confined, which opened on the
Delaware river. He stood by its side
a few moments then with quick
movement was upon its back, dashed
through the guards, scattering them
right and left, jumped into the river
and swan to landing place in safety. |
This is the story as told in neighbor-
hood chronicles, and although they |
may not have it exactly straight, it is |
probable something of the kind did |
occur, as until the old mansion house |
on the manor was burned down it con-
tanned painting Of the propritor and |
his horse, which many of the old peo-
pie here remember having seen. The
horse was buried in New Castle, and a /
monument erected over his grave,
which stands 10 this day.
There Is another curious story con.
nected with Augustine Hermapn, At
his death he left all his vast property
to family named Bouchell, divided
equally between two brothers and
sister

Judge CI,urch's Views on Nailouar
Politics

Chief Justice Church, of New York.
whose name is frequently mentioned in
| connection with the Democratic non,i-
| nation tor the Presidency, in a recent
conversation with correspondents of
tho Tribune, expressed himself informal
y upon, national politics. The Chief
justice declared that the warm welcome
extended to the representatives Of the
South. at the Bunker Hill Centennial
was the hearty expression of renewed
peace and fraternity, and expressed the
decided opinion that "the South should
be fully relieved of the incubus chat
oppresses her-the acknowledgements of
her leading men; the oppressive taxa-
tion by carpet-baggers and cormorants:
the uncertain status of her States in ths
Union, subject as they still are to the
lmperious will of Congress and the ex-
ecutive." In regard to the presidential
election, he was of the opinion that
PRESIDENT Grant is practically out Of
the race. He said he could not imaoiue 4
any predicament in which the President
could entangle the country which would
give hlm or his party sufficient excuse
Tor renomlnating him. Sherman had no
ambition for the Presidency, and even
II no mad his prospects are not promis-
ing. Vice-President Wilson, Speaker
Blaine and Minister Washburne appear.
ed TO be the most prominent candidates.
and the Oh EFF Justice thought upon one
OF these the Republican party viii pro
badly have to settle He said Governor
Allen is u strong, hard money jackson
Democrat, and the imitation doctrine
IN the Ohio platform was evidently one
OF those compromises which have to be
made In every public body. Gov. Hen
bricks, OF Indiana, is also hard money
man, and similar plank was incorpora-
ted in the platform of his State conyen-
ton. Differences Of opinion upon the.
subject are strongly defined, and what Is
heresy in one section is considered the
true faith in another. Chief Justice
Church expressed the opinion that the
Democrats will certainly carry New York
at the approaching fall election, though
perhap: hy diminished majority of
small vote.

base crime he is charged with he was
preaching sermon in his church in

in the strongest terms his peaceful re.
lance in God as his strength, and his
indifference to the opinion OF men as

He assured his hearers that he should 20

men might think Of him, SO long as there

heard him with much enthusiasm and
with fervent and healthy applause.
