The Register of Voters for this dis
to the list of voters, nineteen names, and
struck therefrom twenty four. OF the
number added, five were by certificates and
fourteen new voters. OF those taken off,
four had removed to other districts and
taken certificates, eleven had left the State,
and nine deceased.
We are panied to have to record the
death, at about one clock yesterday after
noon, of Miss Emily Jackson, daughter OF
Joshua Jackson, Esq, of this district.
She was taken on Thursday with conges-
tive chill, and gradually sank until death
ensued. Her death was entirely unexpected
and is terrible blow to her family and
friends. Miss Jackson was about twenty
four years of age.
Yesterday morning we received by
mail, very dainty little box, containing
cut of delicious cake. An accompanying
note informed us of the nuptials, on Tues
day last of our old friend, Alexander Hill,
formerly Judge of the Orphans Court of
this county, now of Wilmington, Del, and
Miss Maggie Creiswall, of Oxford, Pa.
We wish the happy couple, a long life and
naught save happiness.
Last Saturday morning, as Mr.. Thos
Broxon, residing near Cecilton, was driv-
ing into that town, his horse became fright
ened and ran away. Mr.. Broxon, while
endeavoring to stop him-having tightly
grasped the reins and wound them about
his hands, -was dragged from the carriage
and for some distance upon the ground,
receiving severe bruises and cuts, one of
his ears being nearly severed from his head
VIM. II. B. Heatzig, son of our towns
man, VIM. b. Heatzig, Esq died at his
fathers residence, on Howard street, on
Saturday last, aged twenty-three years.
His disease was consumption. He had been
a sufferer for long time, but was never
known to murmur; on the contrary, he
constantly preserved his naturally cheerful
He was an exemplary Chris
tian, and greatly beloved by his associates.
His remains were inferred in the Methodist
burying ground, on Monday last.
The tent meetings, which commenced
on Friday evening of last week, continued
each evening till Thursday last, when the
rain interfered. On Thursday and Friday
evenings, meetings were held in the church
on High street. The tent is still standing,
and should the weather clear, there will be
services in it three times on Sabbath, but
if the damp, cool weather continues, the
church will be occupied, with preaching by
Rev. w. Gould at 1890 a. NJ. and 800 and
7:3OP NJ. Sabbath School at o'clock in
the afternoon.
We were the recipients, .on Tuesday
last, from w. p. Howard, Esq, of a basket
of the most delicious peaches our eyes have
ever lit upon. If their equals ever grew
upon peach trees, it has not been our good
fortune to come across them. They really
were superb. We enjoyed this splendid
fruit with double relish, because of the
we had of the hearty good will
with which it was presented. Experience
has taught us, that Mr.. Howard, in addi-
ton to his many admirable qualities of
head and heart, possesses in an eminent
degree that class of generosity that never
permits him to forget the printer, and the
printers esteem him accordingly.

An interesting meeting of the Chill
dren's Temperance Association or ''Band of
Hope" was held in the lecture room of the
Elkton Methodist Church, on Wednesday
evening last. Mr.. Lee-through whose
efforts the society was formed-was pres
emit with Mr.. Whitley, of Baltimore, State
superintendent of these organizations.
The new regalias were used for the first
time on this occasion. Thirteen new mem
bers were initiated by Superintendent
This addition brings the mem
bership up to eighty-two This is the
second organization of this character in

" Cummings Temple of Baltimore" AT
ter the close of the children's meeting, the
regular meeting of the Moral Reform Asso-
citation took place. Addresses were deliv-
cred by Messrs. Whitley, Ridgway and Lee
MIR. N. j. Lee, the temperance evan
gelist, who has been laboring in this town
and vicinity for several weeks past, under
the auspices of the Reform Association of
Elkton, has ended his labors for the pres
emit here, and babe farewell to his friends
at the meeting of the Association, on We'd
nesday evening. Mr.. Lee has made many
friends during his stay among us, aud
carries with him the well wishes of all.
His labors were very successful. Wherever
he went, he aroused the friends of temper
ance to renewed zeal, and added new re-
cruits to their number. 1t is a matter for
regret that he could not remain longer at
this time. We may, however, hope for his
return at some not far distant day. Mr..
Lee left for Havre de Grace, on Thursday,
where he was announced to speak that
evening. From there he goes to his home
in Wilmington.
