SUED FOR PERJURY.-One day last week
Charles Hans, colored, of st. Georges, sued
Joshua r. Graham, of the same place,
before Esquire Frazer in Wilmington, for
perjury. Graham testified in case OF
theft against Hans, and he was convicted
for stealing a blacksmiths vice. 1t after
wards appeared that the vice was not stolen
at all. Graham testified before the Will
mington Squire that he did not say at the
hearing in Delaware City that Hans did
take the vice, but that to the best OF his
knowledge, he believed he took it. Several
witnesses corroborated Graham's statement,
and the case was dismissed.
DOVER ITEMs.-The Sentinel says that all
the ladies and gentlemen of Dover who
participated in and attended the Old Folks
concert in Smyrna were delighted with
their trip and expressed qualification at the
cordiality of their reception.
n. B. Smithers has given Il written
opinion to the School Commissioners
of Dover, in which he declares that the
law (recently amended by the Legislature)
authorizes the Imprisonment of persons
failing to pay their school tax. 1t is un-
derstood that the Commissioners are de-
termned to enforce the law. "Birds who
can sing, and won't, will be made to sing"
Eugene Ridgely, near Dover, has lately
lost two fine horses.
A seven pound shad was caught in
Jones's creek last week.
Richard NJ. Jones, near Dover, recently
had q fine heifer stolen, and the thieves
impudently killed and dressed the animal
in Mr.. Jones back woods.
The following persons constitute the

Hands Burned-One day last week Miss
Sallie Q. Stevenson, of Dover, met with a
very painful accident She was engaged
in cleaning pair of kid gloves with vesta
oil, having the gloves on at the time, and
attempted to dry them by holding her
hands to hot stove. The oil took fire
from the heat, setting fire to the gloves and
before the flames could be extinguished
her hands and arms were severely burned

A society has been formed which an
