OUR DOVER BUDGET.

Serious Accident-The Ne,c Post office.
DOVER, May 20, 1876.
The latest around town, especially in the
news line, have brisked up.
Department No. 5, Dover Public Schools,
held its annual picnic and May party in a
grove on the land of Wm. r. Norris, ESQ.,,
a very pleasant one, and very much enjoyed
by the children.
A select party held picnic in the Camp
Meeting woods near this town, on Satur-
day. This was also a pleasant affair, but
as the parties were coming an accident Oc-
Cured, which somewhat intcrfered with the
pleasure of the trip. VIM. Fl. Wallace,
Esq, of this place, conveyed number of
children, ,:of whom the party was principally
composed, to the ground, and when return
ing drove to Camden to leave one of the
party. While he had got out Of the car
riage and was assisting his charge to
alight, his horse became frightened at what
it is not known, but is supposed at the snores
of some of the denizens Of that Sleepyburg
who were taking their afternoon nap in
peaceful security on the store boxes oppo-
site. Mr.. Wallace grasped the horse by the
bit when the horse began to rear and lunge
in most vicious manner, when he called
Justify for assistance but all the inhabitants
of the town must have been sound asleep for
before any Of them put in an appearance the
horse had upset the carriage, and but for
the assistance of a gentleman from FELTON,
who had seen the accident about half mile
off would have succeeded in backing in
upon the uulucky cargo of children who
were piled up in the road. AS it was how
ever, few cuts and bruises impartially dis
tributed among the participants was all the
harm dore, the carriage was righted the
party proceeded homeward, and rumor has
it that they have not heard about it in Cam
den yet.
The first course of the stone work on the
new post office has just been laid on, and
the second is being begun.
Mr.. B. A. Bennett of this place went to
Milford on Sunday, taking with him Mas
ter Henry Holmes. on the return trip, when
near Magnolia, the horse became frightened
and kicked the dashboard in causing Mr.
Bennett to loose the reins, and then started
down the road in full run, Master Holmes
became frightened and jumped out, alight-
ing on his left side dislocating his arm at
the shoulder. Mr.. Bennett stuck to the
carriage, and after running short distance
the horse became entangled in the harness
and fell turning the carriage over and
bruising Mr.. Bennett considerably. A far
mer in the neighborhood furnished them
with conveyance to Camden, where they
got relay home, when DR.. Shoemaker was
called in and reduced the dslocation.
The sequal to the scandal which occurred
here some time ago, came off this morning.
On Friday last, Col, Fountain of the Capt.
tai Hotel, being away, several of the en-
povcs OF the hotel took the opportunity to
get on a "bust" and several Others being in
the same condition, the issues Of the scan
.lal were rakcd up and a general row oc
cured, with the usual scenes and inciderSs,
list fights, knives and pistols, glasses and
BOTTLES, arrests, NC. Col Fountain was tel
egraphed for and returned that evening and
soon regulated affairs, the offending en-
ployes were discharged, some offending
b0arders ordered out Of the house, among
them the woman who figured so PROM
ncnt]y before ip the scandal. This morning
she took her departure, followed by The
tears of the newspaper men, who were sure
OF an occasional item as long us she re
mained in town, and the sheriff, aud accom-
panied by the man who figured so prolni
nently in the aforementioned scandal. At
he depot. the sheriff appeared upon the
sCcut dCEoupaHeu w piVCos W aIldSH
the baggage, when all was horror and con-
formation. The gentleman claimed the
trunks as his personal property, and con-
tanning his wearing apparel, but the sheriff
dn,lined to consider the subject, though
such must really have been the case, as
upon investigation the trunk was found to
contain several silk and other dresses, trilled
ard laced chimises, petticicoats hose and
other underwer, and one clean shirt. The
sheriff concluded to retain the trunk, and in
formed the gentleman that he was not nm
der arrest and the pair went on their way
rejoicing or otherwise.
An effort is being made to have the date
for holding the camp-meeths on the Cam
den Union Grounds from July 14th to Au-
gust 25tb.
