LETTER FROM FREDERICKTOWN.
FREDERIcKTowN, Nd,
Sept, 2Sth, 1875.


EDITOR CECIL WH1G:-We think it no
more than right that our little community
should be represented sometimes in your
paper. We are not very large, but we are
of some Importance; at least we have been
Of considerable for the last few weeks, for
we have had hustle enough around our
wharves to do credit to small city. With
dry-house, putting away day and night at
one wharf, and four steamers stopping every
day at another to carry away our numerous
wagon loads of peaches, we claim to have
made considerable stir in the world. Our
peach season is about over now, however
and our dry-house went away two or three
weeks ago; so we are now lapsing into
little more quietness.
The fruit season has not been very profit
able any where in this section. Some few
will make expenses, and even net little
money, but many farmers will be worse off
Many will lose heavily. know one farmer
who sent 1900 baskets to New York (all
one week shipment) and the whole brought
him eight dollars in debt. besides the ex-
penses of picking, &c. think if all farm
ers would cut down their orchards to about
ten per cent of their farms, the fruit bust
ness would do great deal better through
this section than it does now
saw some very fine pears in Still Pond,
Kent county, last night. They came from
Rose Cottage" farm Or. VIM. M. A. S.
Ma1wells, of Still Pond.) measured one
full eleven inches in circumference, and
don't think there was one in large basket
full that would grid less than nine inches.
Farmers are somewhat behindhand in
their general work, on account of being so
busy with peaches. Very little fodder is
saved, and feed will probably be high this
Winter. There is prospect Of very good
corn crop in this section.
We suppose now that the press of peach
business is over, politics will begin to en-
gage peoples attention more. We are very
glad to see, as one of the candidates for the
Legislature from this district of Cecil CO.,
Mr.. Henry c.. Ellison. His friends could
not have chosen better man, nor one that
stands higher before the community in every
way. He is man of sterling character
and unimpeachable integrity, and we be-
| lieve him to be one who acts from princi-
pie, and who would always do so in pub
| lie position, if he were put into it, as well
as at home. No man stands fairer in his
efforts to promote the general morality and
prosperity of his section; and, what is more
he is good Christian man, having held an
official position in the Westminster Church,
Georgetown, most acceptably and consist
emily for several years. We would like to
see our Legislature made up of just such
men, and hope that friend Ellison will have
the votes of all lovers of good order and
integrity in the administration of public
affairs in this county.
But I have written quite long letter and
will close for this time.
Yours, very truly, G.

AUGUST FLowER.-The most miserable
beings in the world are those suffering from
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. More
than seventy-five per cent of the people in
the United States are afflicted with these
two diseases and their effect; such as sour
stomach, sick headache, habitual costive-
ness, impure blood, heartburn, waterbrash,
gnawing and burning pains at the pit Of
the stomach, yellow skin, coated tongue
and disagreeable taste in the mouth, COM
ing up of the food after eating, low spirits,
&c. Go to the Drug Store of II. H. Nit
chel, Elkton, or E. Il. Frazer, Port De-
post, and get a rs cent bottle, or sample
bottle for 10 cents. Try it.

There was quite an excitement here
recently over horse race between Mr..
Peterson's horse of Fair Hill, and MIR. John
Woelens horse of this place, for $50, Mr..
Peterson easily winning the money.
A throat disease is prevailing to small
extent among the children in this section.
1t first began in Mr.. Armstrong; family,
two children dying; it then appeared in
MIR. VIM. Potts family, causing the death
Of two of his children. 1t has also been
in Mr.. John Keithley's family, but they
are recovering.
The Mccullough Iron Co. have about
completed their new forge. They have
also started their new mills in Wilmington,
Del, and as we are identified with the
latter movement, we reluctantly resign our
position as itemizer, step down and out,
and sign ourselves for the last time,
AMBI Guilty.
Secretary Delano has resigned at last.
No act of his public life has met with such
universal favor. Had he resigned a year
ago or been put out of the Cabinet it would
have been of incalculable benefit to the
country. He has been at the head of one
of the most gigantic and corrupt rings (the
Indian Ring in the country.

$1S9, 401. 70
Leaving as deficit this large sum of money.
Is not this enough to move our people to
action ?"
In order to meet this deficiency last year,
the Mail says the Comptroller, "a Democrat
and under the immediate eye of the Cover
nor, who is also Democrat took $685.
391.73 out of what is known as the "De-
fence Loan '-an authorized loan of five or
six million dollars made soon after the war
for special purposes, and which has been
nearly exhausted since the Democrats came
into power, in this way. Of course, when
this is exhausted, the same party will
authorize another loan and that loan will
be put down on the Comptroller's report as
receipt into the Treasury. The Mail
further says:
"That the people may be posted, we call
their attention to items of expenditure
The legislature cost last year the sum of
$l91, 1897. This enormous charge stands,
in the Comptroller's report, naked and alone
no detail of items, whatever, and in this
gigantic sum is hid the small and great
villainies, now the Accomplishments of
legislative bodies. In this, we presume, is
included the swarm of officials that are
employed in the House and Senate, in
number almost equal to the members.
Again, in the whole report of the Comp
troller. there is not an item about public
printing, and which has been the bone of
contention at Annapolis; which has pro-
duced more fraud and wrong, more cor
ruption and yillainy than any other subject;

RING FRAUDS.

This is about the easiest conducted CAM
engaged in. All that is necessary is to
pick up the Democrat papers and clip out
the evidence they have gathered up of the
corruptions and stealing which has been
carried on for the last seven or eight years
by the party in power in Maryland. Dur
ing the contest between the friends of
Hamilton and the Ring, for the Guberna-
torial nomination, the Hagerstown Mail
published the following array of facts
against the Carroll party:
"The expenditures of the last Legisla-
ture and the one preceding, were most
extravagaut and devoted to objects of the
most Objectionable character. The bal
ances, as shown to exist, by Comptroller
Woolford's last report, are illusory; indeed,
it is nothing but sham; and if the people
move on much longer under such reports,
they will wake up to actual bankruptcy.
The State tax, which should be diminished
to Is cents-even SO low as 12 cents-has
been raised from 10 cents to a fraction over
20 cents, and yet, with all this, for the last
fiscal year ending September 30th, 1874,
lueTe was du ACTUAL uellClI III lne treasurer,
that is, the real receipts did not meet the
real expenditures. By the report of that
year the receipts from all sources amounted
to So, 357, 202. 10, and the expenditures was
$2,276, 90G. 81, leaving apparently balance
of $50, 295.77 in receipts over expenditures
for the last year; but this is downright
imposition upon the people who do not
look for themselves.
Among the items put down as receipt
in the above statement, is the sum of $685.
69750, when in fact it is derived from
loan-bonds put upon the market and sold,
and to that extent increasing the public
Indebtedness. 1t is not real receipt from
the revenue of the State.
Striking out this as resource or
receipt, we find the alarming fact that our
receipts for the past year did not neal
reach our expenditures:
Expenditures $2,216, 906. 50
Receipts 2,0SS, 504 62

Tornado.-A tornado swept over the
farms occupied by VIM. p. Fowler and
Hyland L. Marcus, on the Glasgow road,
about p miles from Elkton, on Thursday
evening last, which did considerable dam
age. A number of apple trees and other
fruit and shade trees were uprooted on
those farms and about rs feet of shedding
blown down and half the roof taken off of
the barn at Mr.. Fowler's. Two of Mr..
Fowler's milk cows were caught under the
shedding, one of them having her hind legs
broken. The other escaped apparently
without injury. The fences on those farms
were nearly all blown down, and the shock
ed corn suffered severely.
A stable was unroofed at Marcus, but
no other damage beyond the destruction of
trees and fences that we learned.

OXFORD Ea1r.-Ihe annual exhibition and
fair of the Oxford Agricultural Society,
held last week, was an entire success, and
surpassed all former fairs held by the So
ciety. There was remarkably fine dis
play of stock, poultry, farm machinery,
flowers, fruit, vegetables and grain on the
occasion. Several of our county farmers
and others are mentioned in the report of
the Fair, who had on exhibition fine stock,
farm products, etc. Among them, Jacob
Swayne exhibited fine display of vegeta-
bles, H. II. Duychinck, of B. NJ. House,
had his large cattle on exhibition which
attracted great deal of attention.
In the horse department our citizens
added largely to the exhibition. John T.
Woollens and B. F. Thomas, of North
East, and w. H. Armstrong, of Fair Hill,
creditably represented Cecil in this depart
ment. The Fair has the credit of being the
finest in Chester county this season.
Fire.-Housekeepers cannot be too care
full at this season, when cold weather is
approaching, and fires have to be renewed
in stoves and hearths to have their Chin
neys and flues cleansed of all SCOT that has
accumulated from burning wood through
the Summer months, and when as little
fire as possible is kindled. When the cold
sets in and the keen blasts of the north
make large fires comfortable, then it is
that any ccmbustable matter within reach
which has accumulated through the Sum-
mer, or defects in flues by rusting of iron
pipes which have been made to do duty in
place of earthen crooks, are penetrated by
the fire and many house is thus set on
fire. A case of this character occurred
last Monday morning, at Mrs. Smiths
candy shop. Fire was communicated te
the roof through defect in the flue, and
had not prompt measures been taken te
get at the flames, destructive fire would
most probably have been the result. A.
the fire was discovered before much head
way was made, hole in the roof and q
bucket of water prevented the mischief.

A PRECIOUS THIEF.

Early in the summer OF 1874 young lad named
Nelson Brown made his escape from roformatory
institution in Connecticut and, making his way In
small boat across the Sound, landed Greenport
He employed of the hotels Of that place dur
ing the summer, and in the fall when the boarding
was about over, he sent to place called
Sunk Meadow, highly recommended There he was
employed by Mr.. W. T. Buffet and stayed with him
during the winter and spring Mr. Buffet found HIM
smart but had to suspect him OF dishonesty.
Ono morning, in early summer, young Brown
was missing. One OF the family went up into
Mr. Bunetps room to clear up after break
fact, and accidentally hitting the door OF a
secretary II flew open, showing that the lock
had been broken, and upon investigation II was found
that tin cash box containing about $500 was gone.
The suDposton was that Brown the previous even
ing, while the family ut supper, had stolen up
and committed the robbery, which, but for acct
dent, might have remained undiscovered Tor some
time. IL subsequently found that Brown had made
his way To New York by the FIRST train that morning,
where stayed short Time and then went TO Mishi
gan, whence he a letter to one Of his former
chums at Sunk Meadow. Nothing more was heard OF
him until day two ago when Mr.. Buffet received
a telegram from West Haven, Conn, announcing that
the thief had been secured he having ventured back TO
aneighborhood where he was well known. Mr. Buffet
has been TO identify HIM, and he Will probably be
