ferred to his own religious feelings, but he
knew that the secret withithe Lord was with
them that fear him, and in quietness and
hope he trusted in the mercy Of God.
"God put his feet in an even place, and
In the congregations, he blessed the Lord.
He was prudent man, timid and rrustful;
confid:ng and companionable to those he
loved; cautious and reticent, but courteous,
gentle and generous. BlamelessDess was the
central virtue of his character and the beau
ty of his life."
After some personal allusions to his life,
Mr.. Israel quoted an appropriate selection
from John Dennis, "Poem on old age" and
concluded thus: II am locking forward to
the time, and with no great anxiety, when
we shall meet him again; and when we are
laidaway, may those who stand upon our
graves, be nearer to God, nearer to Christ,
and nearer to Heaven"
The above, of course, is only brief epi-
tome of the eulogy, which was delivered in
the speakers usual eloquent manner, and
was listened to with marked attention by
all. After the discourse, the usual quar-
terly communion service followed.

On Friday, the stable Of DR.. Knowles, of
the Breakwater Light took fire. The flames
when discovered had gained such headway,
that there was no possible chance of saving
the buildings, which were distant from the
Office OF the Light only about thirty feet.
At one time it seemed impossible to save
the dwelling and Office, but fortunately
there was no wind at the time, and beyond
the burning Of the buildings named, two
carriages, harness, feed and material
slowed In the barn, there was NO other loss.

CHESTERTOWN ITEMS.
A Forger arrested.

A Forger arrested.
From our Regular Correspondent
CHEsTERTowN, Nd, April I'd.
Business is very dull here. The mer-
chants have to buy from each other to make
living and keep up appearances.
The engine on the Kent Community Rail-
road ran off of the track at Worhon Sta
ton, this afternoon. No one was injured.
The mail had to I've conveyed to Chester
town by private conveyance, which caused
1t to be about two hours late. Up to this
writing they hrve not succeeded in getting it
on. Several like accidents have occurred
recently. Improper management is sup
posed to be the cause.
John 8. Wood, a wheelwright who has
been in business here for two or three years,
has been imprisoned for forgery. Mr..
Wood has man in bis employ by the name
ing at Chesterville, Md, named Charles.
Charles sold some grain to Bean and Ford,
Massey's, Md. They sent him checks for
S1O7 and 500. The letter by mistake came
here instead of going to Chesterville. Last
Tuesday Wood called at the post-office here
and inquired for his mail. Mr.. Col
Inns, P. NJ. told him no, but letter for
England, and as he had always been getting
England's mail with his he gave 1t t. him.
Wood, it appears, opened the letter and
found the checks, thought he would appro-
pirate them to his own use, so he hired q
double team from John Jaison, and he and
his wife drove up to Middletown, Del.
Checks were drawn on that bank, endorsed
Charles England's name on them and pre-
sented them for payment, but that bank
did not feel disposed to pay money to per-
son they did not know, SO they would not
cash them. Wood returned home out OF
pocket, or he will be when he pays for the
team. He returned the checks to Bean
and Ford in dilspidated condition. Con-
stable Rawliegh received orders last night to
arrest Wood which he did this morning very
much to his surprise. He is now in jail and
will have hearing Tuesday.

OURDOVER BUDGET.
The Public School


from our Regular Correspondent
DOVER, April I'd 1870.
There are large number of people In
town, this being the day when the farmers
come in to buy their provisions for the
week
The public schools held their annual COM
petitive examination yesterday afternoon.
A school paper was issued containing the
prize compositions, and large quantity OF
information and statistics in regard to the
schools. The examination of the pupils
showed very satisfactory progress during
the year. There is one little defect IN the
school system of this place, that is there ts
no time fixed for graduation from the high
er departments. The succession from each
of the other departments is amply provided
for, but in this particular case no provision
has been made, state of affairs which Ger
tainly ought not to exist, and certainly de-
mands remedy.
The members of the State Capital Guards
are somewhat incensed at the reports pub
lished in various papers in Wilmington and
elsewhere, of the disbandment of the COM
pany, and hoping that such a catastrophe
will not take place. The members state
that the company is in good condition, and
would be in much better state If It was
not for certain untoward outside influence,
and that the company will not disband as
long as they can raise money to pay their
room rent.
The Orphans Court is not In session to-
day, having adjourned on Friday until
next Monday.
The school election will be held this af-
ternoon to elect three commissioners In
place of Messrs. Pennewill, Cannon and
Ridgely who retire with this year.

The selection of a Chief Engineer is

low the candidates and their companies.
FOR CHIEF ENGINEER.
James Burke, Weccacoe.
Geo. A. Messick, Reliance.

VIM. Hanna, Washington.

J. T. Lee, Qnd. Water Witch.
SECOND ASSISTANT.
Samuel j. Baylis, Friendship.
Chief Mccall, who was few days ago a
prominent candidate for the Chief Engineer
ship, has resigned in favor of VIM. Hanna.
1t is necessary for a candidate to receive
the vote of Ave companies to secure his
election, else the matter goes to Council,
which body selects man.
1t has become quite evident now that no
one Of the candidates can secure the neces-
sary five, which will throw the election of a
q chief into Council.
It Is believed that that body will not
treat the matter as political one, bnt will
vote for the best man, or he who obtains
the largest number of companies. One OF
the candidates claims that he has secured
the pledges of :seven of the Democratic
members of council, who will vote for him
in the caucus.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.

Ths Elecesos on satwrdav-A Quiet lfasr
DR.. Buck Electsd-A Colored Candidate
The Ne,v Board.
The election for one member of the Board
of Education from each ward Of the city
passed off quietly and without any extra
ordinary display Of excitement, on Satur-
day. In most of the wards there was an alb
solute apathy evident, and very light vote
was polled'
IN THE FIRST WARD.
Thomas Johnston, the former incumbent
ofthe position, Republican, had no oppo-
position, but the vote was comparatively
as large in as any ward In the city, ,being 100
votes, three of which were scattering.
THE SECOND WARD
voted unanimously for Col. B. R. Heisler,
who received IS votes.
IN THE THIRD WARD
there were two tickets, j. A. Wilson and
W. f. Robinson, but the contest was not
cl ose, Mr.. Wilson getting 160 votes, and
Mr.. Robinson only IS.
THE FOURTH WARD
was the most closely contested in the city,
the two candidates, Mr.. Isaac G. Pyle and
Samuel F. Hawkins, running pretty even
race: the election of Mr.. Pyle being only by
10 majority, he receiving ~ votes, Mr. Haw-
kins 80.
THE FIFTH WARD
.. was the only interesting battle ground in
the city,a determined effort having been
made to defeat Mr.. Buck, the present incum-
bent of the position.
The enemies of DR.. Buck attempted in
every manner possible to injure him, even
resorting to the distribution of political
circular, and many of his friends feared
that he would not be returned. The fight
occa asioning considerable interest throughout
the city, but the Doctor was entirely sue
| cessful as the votes exhibited as follows
DR.. Buck, 215 votes, Mcdaniel 65 votes.
The success Of DR.. Buck gives; entire salts
faction.
NTHE SIXTH WARD
there was no opposition to Isaac j. Jen-
kins, who received 1872 votes ont of 100,
and George W. Store, 6, Blank 2.
THE SEVENTH WARD.
Mr.. Chas. Baird was elected without op-
position, good vote being polled.
IN THE EIGHTH WARD
the candidacy of negro named Henry
against j. c. Morrow, created little
ripple of excitement, and the negroes stood
warmly by their candidate, who received
80 votes, but Mr., Morrow's friends were
too many for the inexperienced candidate
and he was elected, receiving &c votes.
| THE NINTH WARD.
Mr.. Zeba Ferris had no opposition unit
four o'clock In the afternoon, when an op
position ticket was gotten up with Mr.
Walkers name upon it. The votes were
Ferris, 81; Walker, 63.
| THE TENTH WARD.
In the Tenth ward, Mr.. Allen Ruth re-
ceived 223 votes being the total number
polled.
The election does not at all change tn
character of the Board. The only tWt
members elect who were not members o
the former Board, are Messrs Isaac c..
Pugh, of the Fourth, and Mr.. Wilson, O
the Third ward, both being Democrats, ant
taking the place Of Republicans. Politics
seems to have had very little to do com
pared with the election.

A Wilmington Fish Merchants Troubles

There seems to be some competition
down the state, among the folks who fur
nish fish for the Wilmington markets.
The Salisbury Eastern Shoreman furnishes
the following rather incomplete item.
An alteration between Mrs. Goslee of
Wilmington, formerly of this place, and
VIM. Conway. which occurred yesterday
morning at the bridge, promises to cause
some trouble between thepartics. It seems
that Mrs. Goslse being engaged in buying
up fish for the Wilmington market, had
bargained for some shad, which Conway
tried to secure afterward for himself.
Hence the quarrel. Justice Fooks will
have the case to-day.
