The Black Hills has newspaper al
ready. Its title is: "The Black Hills
Weekly Miner" and its motto is ''Hew to
the line, let the chips fall where they
may" very good sentiment by the way.
II Is twenty column paper, edited by j..
z. Adams Brinsley, and it's intelligent
compositor got the forms together for
the first issue so that the fourth page was
where the first should be, and vtce versd.
The fonts are unhappily short OF capital
"W's" and .gIrs," and we give some spec
linens to show our readers how an artl-
Gle looks without these essentials. The
first is in reference to a proposed OppO-
sition paper to be started there, and is as
follows:
"a being whom it were gross Flattery
to call an idiot talks of starting an OppO-
sition newspaper. (which of his wives
will this GREEN young man bring to
custer City as his vvomonsging editor,
the one which he used to beat at New
buryport, Mass, or that whom he de-
serted at Creston, Iowa! we know
the raskal."
Not good opinion of his proposed Co
temporary evidently. The next selec-
ton is an account of an Inquest, or rath-
CT proposed one, and is very good.
'sMOntaua Jim, who lives up i'm Co
vote street, was found on tuesday last
apparently dead and bottle of whisky
in his hand which gave rise to the n.y.
pothesis of congestion Of the brain. Over
the remains what can only be styled an
unseemly dispute took place as to who
should hold the inquest, Judge thomas,
sheriff, holding that he was qualified by
virtue of the vOx populi of his election,
while Major Bloker claimed the priv
lege as u territorial official, The dispute
being finally left to the arbitrainent of
euchre. Chairs and tables being some
what scarce, Montrna Jim's alleged
corpse was utilized in the latter capacity.
under which arrangement the game pro-
gressed satisfactorily till with the game
and 6 q points being Played and each
player two tricks In, Judge thomas
played the ace of trumps, the right hav-
ing been played and the LETT, as he
thought, at the bottom of the pack, when
Major Bloker put down the left bower
with triumphant blow of his fist OH
the table, being the corpse of Montana
Jim, who being suddenly awakened
from his trance arose and pitched into
the Major, nor could he for some time
be pacified."
This has the true frontier ring to it,
and reminds one of some of Twain's an
ecdOteS.

The st. Louis Republican says: at was
just about sunset, the streets had been
sprinkled, and the residents of the neigh
bOrhOOd were grouped on piaZZas and
dOOr-steps enjoying themselves i'm chat
and and watching the motions of the
children playing OIL the sidewalk. Along
the walk came a man who looked as
though he might be connected with the
river he had the general indescribable
air CT bOatman, and, additional. it must
be confessed that he may have been
drinking. As he approached the chill
dren they attracted his attention, and he
stopped to look at them. Then he be-
gan muttering to himself, and unmlndful
Of the people Oh an adjacent doorstep,
who could hear his words distinctly:
There's pretty children. / haven't any,
now wonder if they'd be scared if
should speak to them He went up to
the children and spoke to one of them
and took one of them, little boy, by the
hand. Noting by instinct the rather dis
reputable appearance of the man, the
the boy caught away his hand and ran,
the other children, in terror, initiating
his example. Disappointed and hurt,
the man turned to go, when a wee white
clad bit of baby girl, not yet big
enough to talk, turned about suddenly
from the escaping cOvey, and toddled
laughingly back toward the man, hold
ing out her hands. The disreputable fell
low caught her up in his arms, and then
she laid her chubby pink cheek against
his grimy unshaven one, and cuddled
and cooed as only baby knows how to
cuddle and coo. The baby's mother,
watching all close by, did not interfere.
The man held the child for a moment,
and then put her down gently and hur-
ried off with tears in his eyes. There
was nothing very striking about the in
cident, but it did one rough fellow a
great deal of good, and didn't hurt the
baby"

Roberts Bankruptcy Case.

OF THE COURT.
The Roberts bankruptcy case, in the U.
S. Court, was commenced on Tuesday, Sep
tember 18th, and occupying over a week.
was an unusually tedious and long one.
Mr. Roberts was merchant at Dover, and
failing 19 months ago, settled with his
creditors at 35 cents on the dollar. Resum-
ing business, he carried it ON until the 18th
of July, 1876, when he suddenly sold out
his property and effects to Jeremiah Gam
non, and went West. The creditors closed
the store, and filed petition before the U.
s. District Court, charging Roberts with
having assigned his property with the in
tent to defraud his creditors. The evidence
i'll the case was all in by Friday evening and
the arguments concluded by Saturday even
ing.
Yesterday morning Judge Bradford de
livered charge occupying about half
hour, when the jury retired to their room
| and this morning, after being out 231s
hours, returned with verdict in favor Of
the creditors. Judge Bradford then ad
judged the defendant bankrupt and ad

CHRIsTIANA, Sept. 19.-The recent storm
proved the severest that has visited this
place for many years. Trees that had
braved the storms of half century sue
ctlmbed to this, and our streets were block
aded completely. But the greatest damage
was done In the surrounding country. At
McClellandville a beautiful brick school
house WAS unroofed, and the walls 30 badly
damaged as to uecessitate a rebuilding
from the ground. Others lost various out
buildings; unsaved fodder was blown to
shreds; fences were blown down, while the
fruit is gone, notwithstanding we had such
plenty. What still hangs is damaged.
The Sunday School of Ebenezer NJ. E.
church held a model picnic in Guthrie's
woods, in Mill Creek Hundred, Thursday
last. The school, numbering 116, beside
officers and teachers, with as many more
who usually attend as "dead heads" were
bountifully served with Ice cream, cake,
and confectionery. A brief address by the
pastor, and some croqueting, comprised the
principal entertainment of those who de.
sired other than eating.
The public school of the place, in charge
of Rev. r. Graham the teacher, excurted tc
the Centennial on Saturday in chartered
Car, and had a grand time. The little folks
saw so much that pleased them that they
will not soon tire of calling down blessings
on those who projected this movement.

The storm and the Crops.

WHOLESALE DESTRUCTION OF FRUIT-CIDER
MILLS AoTIvE-BUTrER .'scUToHENs" IN
FAsHIoN-THE CORN CROP INJURED.
One of the most serious losses resulting
to the farmer and fruit grower from the
storm of Saturday night and Sunday, was in
the destruction of fruit whichit occasioned.
The apple and pear crop in New Castle and
adjoining counties was very large, and since
the storm scarcely an apple or pear is left
upon the trees. The market this afternoon
is glutted with the finest of apples and
pears, in a premature state, bruised and
cracked by the violence with which they had
been blown from the trees. There is fruit
to sell from wagons all over the city at al
most any price.
The cider mills in the country are run to
their utmost capacity, and apple butter par
ties are becoming fashionable everywhere.
Notwithstanding the fact that the fruit
growers are trying to make the most of
their crop, the loss to them is incalculable.
Aside froms the great loss of fruit, the
farmers have suffered from the effects of
the storm upon the corn crop. That which
was not cut and in shock has been blown
flat down, and the blades 30 riddled and
torn into shreds, that the fodder will be
next to useless, and much of that already
in shock has been blown down, and tangled
to such degree that it will be very difficult
to put it in shock again.

HAvRE DE GRACE, Md, Sept. 1S, 1876
The storm of Sunday was very destructive
in Havre de Grace and Aneighborhood. AS
many as so trees.were blown down,in some
cases blocking the streets. The water rose
over the wharves nearly as high as during
the time of the ice gorge last winter. Many
vessels broke their moorings and dragged
their anchors. In the country great dam
age was done to fields and fences, and the
apple trees have lost half their crop.
Five ioe-houses belonging to Cochran q
Co., of Baltimore, located on the east bank
of the Susquehanna, just north of the Phil.
adelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroa
bridge, were blown down aud the debris
piled in heaps. These houses were frame
structures, covering ground $50 by 800 feet
They were empty, and had been so during
the entire summer, and thus made little re
sistance to the gale blowing directly up th'
river. 1t is estimated they cannot be re
placed for less than $4,000.

Concert Hall was filled last evening with
Democrats who had assembled to hear the
Hon. B. Il. Biggs, General William Rey-

party and their candidates. The meeting
was to have been the first of series of six,
lasting through the week. By half past s
the multitude had become Impatient, and
at a quarter of 9 Mr.. Isaac Leech and
and told the assemblage that the meeting
had been called without authority from the
State or the city committee. The crowd at
this began to shout, and started for the

that the speakers had disappointedhi him, but
