Some Old-time "PersOnals.''

The "personals" in the papers pub.
lished a hundred years ago were as
piquant as any printed in our own day.
Even Martha Washington was men,
toned in a London journal as having
separated from her husband, thus
"Mr. Washington, we hear, is married
to a very amiable lady, but it is said that
Mrs. Washington, being a warn loyal.
list, has separated from her husband
since the commencement of the present
troubles, and lives, very much respect
ed, in the city Of New York" The fol-
lowing is from another loyal journal Of
the Revolutionary period: Thirteen is
a number peculiarly belonging to the
rebels. A party of naval prisoners late
ly returned from Jersey say that the ra

Married and CraZed i'm a Week

One of the saddest records we have
ave. made in these columns is the fol-
lowing: About two weeks since 4 gen,
tleman from this county, who is one of
our most prominent business men, was
united in marriage with a charming and
accomplished young lady from one of
the cities of the bay. The couple went
to San Jose to spend a few days of that
usually blissful period, the first of mar
ried life. Their union took place on
Sunday, and very early the next Thurs
day morning the bridegroom was awak-
ened by hearing his young bride en-.
gagged in prayers. Suddenly her pray
ing was changed to singing, ana this
was followed by loud laughter, until the
horrible fear took hold of the gentle.
mans mind that his beloved wife had
lost her reason. Thinking that a change
and the quiet of a country home would
be beneficial, the couple started at once
for home. The lady's malady grew
steadily worse OF the journey, and nc
benefit was derived at their new home,
and \ few days since it was necessary
to take her back to her parental asso'
Citations, in the hope that a mother:
care would prove the panacea. The
spectacle, as the party passed down the
road, vas n of the saddest and most
pitiable that could be imagined. The
bride of a week had become a raving
maniac, wild and violent, requiring the
strength Of several persons to hold her,
Her husbands grief was terrible beyond

sad Case of Drowning

TWO LITTLE GIRLS PERISH IN QUARRY-oNE
FALLS IN WHILE TRYING TO SAVE THE 9TH
ER.
Anna and Mary Ella, daughters of John
Rhodes, of Port Kennedy, were drowned in
the quarry Of John Kennedy at that place
yesterday afternoon. The quarry is quite
deep, the bank in some places being nearly
perpendicular and contains from fifteen to
eighteen feet Of water. A road runs along
one side of it. The two girls, one of whom
was eleven aud the other eight years old,
were playing in the road yesterday and got
their feet muddy. The younger went to
the edge of the water to wash off the mud
when the bank, which had been softened by
the recent rain, gave way under her and she
fell in. She came to the surface and getting
hold of the bank, tried to scramble out, but
could not do so. Her sister ran to the
bank to help her out and was trying to do
so when the ground again gave way and
both fell in together. A boy who came up
in time to see the older sister fall in, ran
for help and some rDan who were at work
near by came as quickly as possible, but it
was too late. The children had already
disappeared. One of the men dived after
the bodies and brought them up.-Norras-

FOURTH EDITION.
Rev. Mr. Gann's Postal.
TO the Editor of the Commercial:

TO the Editor of the Commercial:
Allow me to give you plain statement of
the matter in controversy between corres-
pondent of the Morning Herald, and the
Rev. j. B. Mann. The facts are as fol-
lows -
1. Mr.. Mann was, and, is, in favor Of free
books for the New Castle schools.
2. He made speech to that effect in the
Court House on last Wednesday evening,
and by vote of the citizens of New Castle
was overwhelmingly sustained.
8. Rejoicing in the great victory, he, on
Thursday morning wrote postal card for
the Republican, which was private, sent it
with other letters to be posted, by his son,
who lost it on the street. 1t was found by a
MIR. Hushibeck, q believe who showed it
to son of DR.. Maxwell, 1oto read 1t, re-
ported it to his father, and the town gen.
orally and those gentlemen made use OF a
priUdte note which came accidentally into
their hands to do its author an injury
They might just as we'll have gone into Mr..
Mann's study and taken any other of his
private papers to use in that manner. Mr..
Mann spoke to DIR. Maxwell about it, ask
ing him whether he, as a gentleman, would
do an act like that. He replied "lf
found card without a name addressed to a
public paper, would"
Mr.. Mann then said to him "Then, sir,
wish nothing more to say to you"
make no comment on these facts.
ask the public to say whether the violation
of the privacy Of correspondence is gen.
tlemanly act II so, all my teaching has
been in the wrong school.

To the Editor of the Commercial:
May /, through your columns, call the at
tention Of the future visitors of the Cen
tennial Exposition, from this city, to the
exhibit of the above Society? 1t is to be
found in the Massachusetts Educational
Department, Main Building, East Gallery,
No. 77.) Among the tens of thousands of
matters of interest this is by no means the
least. There are models of compartment
cars for horses, cattle, and swine, with and
without adjustable partitions, furnishing
great conveniences for food, water, and
rest harness saddles with adjustable pads {;
open binders duplex whlffletrees rubber,
leather, ra"-hIde, and wood covered bits !;
zinc collar pada to prevent galls ard many
varieties of horse shoes. There il to be
seen that beautiful substitute for the living
bird, which may be shot at, without harm
ing the morals of the human kind. or Civ
ing pain or death to the dumb creatures.
There also is q sample OF the vileness
and heartless cruelty displayed In the dog
fight, in the stuffed remains of an animal
bleeding and torn, which was taken from
''tte pit" Another sample of the same
base sport, is from the cock pit and many
specimens of other cruelties practiced by
man upon the lower animals. The societies
whose object it is to prevent, or relieve the
sufferings thus inflicted upon the dumb
creatures have become mighty power in
this and other countries. There are now in
