DOVER, May 10, 1876.
Tho rain yesterday and this morning,
has greatly benefited the crops in this VI
cinity, as they were beginning to suffer
from the drought, Strawberries and other
small fruits especially. 1t is the first really
heavy, soaking rain We have had for about
month.
About car load Of passengers went up
OH the six O'Clock train this morning, to
attend the opening exercises Of the Cen
tsnnial celebration.
A very sad case Of drowning, was COM
municated to this place by private
letter, occurring on Hunting Creek mill
pond. near Preston, Caroline county, Mary
land, on Saturday last. 1t appears that a
little boy named Eddie Lodal, about ten
years Of age, owned small boat, only
about six feet long, In which he was IN the
habit of taking two little friends out riding
on the pond, and on this occasion he had
taken John Whitley, boy oftwelve years
old out, and by some means the boat cap
lAized and threw them both out in:the water,
and as no assistance was at hand, both
were drowned. Several other little boys
VINO were on SnOre NJ tRo Vlmes kaV0 tno
alarm and the bodies were recovered. They
were buried at Preston on Sunday after
noon last,
Alderman Wright, last evening commit
ted young man named Frank Wood, to
al for being drunk and disorderly.
A little son of Geo. W. Baker had mar
row escape from drowning. 10 tsu Into
the creek, which IL pretty deep water, Dut
was rescued before he got anything buta

[From our Regular Correspondent.]
Nlw CASTLE, DEL, May 10.
Demonstrations appropriate to the Cen
tsnnial period were visible in Now Castle,
to-day,
"From early dawn to dewy eve"
From the windows of many houses, flags
of all sizes and shapes were floating and,
In some instances, even the shrubbsry and
flower vases In the yards wore thus deco
rated. Quite number OF boys improvised
a military company, and, with flags and
banners flying, marched tho streets to the
music Of the inspiriting hfe and the soul
stirring drum. At o'clock, P. NJ, the
hour for inaugurattng the Exposition al
Phila6elphia, the bells Of all our churches
and of the schools were rung for several
minutes; the sounds from which were not,
precisely like " swsst bslls tangled, )" though
they were decidedly "out Of tune, and
harsh"
1t is presumed that this spirit of abound
ing patriotism will express itself tonight
In brilliant illuminatiOns.
The number in attendance upon court,
to-day, was perceptibly diminished by the
greater attractions of the opening ceremo-
MES to take place at Philadelphia Not q
great many of our own citizens, however,
were attracted thereto, learn that the
distinguished honor Of tickets of admission
to the grand platform, at the fair grounds,
was conferred upon three, only, of our citi-
zens-Messrs. Edward Challenger, Charles
Beasten and John H. Rodney, who have
gone to represent New Castle, on this in
teresting occasion.

Selling Life Dearly.

On Monday morning, August p,
four white men, while out hunting,
about two miles from Deadwood, killed
deer, and while they were skinning it,
one of them saw an Indian approaching
them, leading. ibis pony. He was pro-
badly trying to surprise them, but, be-
ing uncertain of their exact position, he
had approached too near, and they dis
covered him first. One of the party
snatched, up his shot, gun, loaded. with
buck-shot, and fired both barrels,
bringing down the Indian and his
pony. The confident manner in which
the Indian had walked toward them
had led them to suppose that he was
supported by number. Of others, and
SO they buckley retreated toward
Deadwooa Tor reinforcemeuts. A par
ty started; out to scout the country, and
ON reaching the spot where the deer
lay, the men saw the body of the In
dian by the side of his pony and think
ing him dead, they rushed forward.
This aetion was fatal 10 one of the par
ty, for a shot from the Indians rifle
struck him in the heart. A voley
from the others killed the Indian in,
stantly, however, and his body was
/ quiqkiey surrounded by the white men.
The Indian had been almost riddled
with buck shot, one shoulder and both
legs having been broken, yet he had
managed to bandage his legs, and to
take unerring aim with his wounded
arm. Knowing that his life would be
taken without doubt he had prepared
10 sell it as dearly as possible, aud ly-
ing on his back, he rested his rifle on
his wounded legs, and shot dead the
foremost Of bis agsailants. In his
mouth was another cartridge, ready to
reload. His rifle was the best and
latest breech loading arms, issued to
the army in 1875, and it was probable
that he had obtained it in the Custer
OF Reno fight, since an old bullet mark
in the grip of the stock showed that it
had been in ACTION

PRICE OF CLOTHING.

Leading clothing men think they
have reached hard pan prices at last
and express themselves as feeling better
and safer than for some time past.
They say that they are selling better
goods at the present time than they
sold for the same money before the war.
The hard times have had another effect
than to reduce the price of clothing.
They have resulted in very marked
improvement in the quality of wooden
fabrics of American manufacture -
When thousands of Young men who
had been in the habit of buying suits
made up Of imported goods were
obliged by the exigencles of the times
to content themselves with articles Of
home manufacture, the cloth makers
exerted themselves to turn out a fine
quality of cloths ard cassimeres, and
the result is better article of home
manufacture than has heretofore been
made; WHICH will prove . benefit to
both buyer and seller.

EIGHTY YEARS. a SOLDIER.

On the 18th Of August last, Marshal
Won Wrangle celebrated the cightieth
anniversary of the day on which he
received his first commission in the
: Prpssiap Army. In 1876 Frederic
William II. was King, his famous uncle
had been dead. but ten years, Gen.
Bonaparte had just achieved European
fame by his Italian campaign, and
Washington was President of the
United States Jena was still ten years
off, and Waterloo nineteen. In the
interval Prussia was to be reduced to
third rate State, her army limited to
$4,000 men, and a French Emperor
was tosaks away the sword Of Frederick
the Great ''from the keeping of matt on
unworthy to retain it," These gloomy
days passed away but Wrangel was to
live into another age Of troqbles-to
see a Prussian revolution, Frederick
