The Cecil Whig., 1876-05-27

revealed to us a tombstone fully six feet
plainly chiselled letters, an inscription sur
mounted by carved heraldic shield with
its proper quarterings and devices.
Our group at this moment would have
quiet landscape around US garnished with
the beauty of May; there were the rustic
tombs, the old negro, with countenance
surcharged with the expression of solemn
satisfaction at his employment, bending his
aged figure over the broad, carved stone,
and scraping from it the grass which had
not been disturbed perhaps for a quarter of
a century; and there was our own party
looking on with eager interest, as the in
scrption every moment became more leg
ible. That interest may be imagined, on
reading the inscription, which, when
brought to the full light of day, revealed
these wordS:-
"Here lyeth the body Of Nphr Rousbie
Esquire, who was taken ont of this world
by violent death received on board his
Maiesty's ship The Quaker Ketch, Capt.
Thos. Allen Commander, the last day of
October 1854. And also of Mr.. John Rous-
bic, his brother, who departed this natur-
all life on board the Ship Baltimore, being
arrived in Patuxen the first day of Febru-
ary 1886"
This u,S a picturaSuue incident in ifs
scenic character, but a still more engaging
one as an occurrence in the path of discov-
cry. Here was most unexpectedly brought
to view new link in the chain of our story.
1t was pleasant surprise to have such
fact as this breaking upon us from an
ambuscade, to help out a half formed mar
rative which had feared was hopeless of
completion. The inscription is a necessary
supplement to the marginal notes. AS an
insulated mon nument, it is meagre in its
detail, and stands in need of explanation.
1t does not describe Christopher Rousby
as the Collector of the Customs; it does
not affirm that he was murdered; it makes
no alusion to Talbot: but it gives the
name of the ship and it's commander, along
with the date of the death. "The Land
holders Assistant supplies all the facts
that are wanting in this brief statement.
These two memorials help each other and
enlarge the common current OF testimony,
like two continent streams coming from
opposite sources. From the two together
we learn that Colonel Talbot, the Surveyor
General in 1854, killed Mr.. Christopher
Rousby on board of a ship of war; and we
are apprised that Rousby was gentleman
of rank and authority in the Province,
holding an important commission from the
King. The place at which the tomb is
found shows also that he was the owner of
a considerable landed estate and near
neighbor of the Lord Proprietary.
The story, however, requires much more
circumstance to give it the interest which
we hope yet to find in it,

the upper side of the street, counting from
the Middletown Run On the 21st of
February, Rogers called in DR.. J. H.
Mccullough, who attended him through a
mild attack of enteric fever. From the
description given me by DR.. Mccullough,
l have no doubt of the accuracy of his
diagnosis. Rogers was under treatment
up to the 18th of March.
On the night of the 18th of the same
month, the ice gorged on the flats just out

town was submerged. The street was all

portion known by the disreputable name
of "Rum Square,"
