THE STREET MARKETs.-The street
market this morning with the exception
of the fish market was we'll supplied. In
the latter market the scarcity of fish es-
pecially shad and herring was very no
ticeable and in consequence, the prices
ranged considerably higher, shad that
sold last week for 60 cents, are to-day
bringing IS cents; herring are selling at
40 cents per dozen, and last week they
sold at 30 cents. The scarcity of fish is
attributed to the high winds of the last
two or three days. the fisherman being
unable to venture out in the skiffs. The
number of farmers wagons were largely
increased and prices ruled about the
same as on Wednesday last. Notwith-
standing that tomorrow is Easter eggs
were sellinga at % cents per dozen; and
the market was well supplied with them.
Butter remained at the old figures of DO
cents per pound. Turkeys are about
done for although one or two appear in

Obituary.

David Robinett, ST., an old and highly
respected citizen died this morning about
2 o'clock at his late residence, No. 20S e,
Sixth street from general debility.
Mr.. Robinett was born IN this city on
November 2Ist, 1901, and at the time Of
his death was consequently in the SOth
year of his age. He was ship carpenter
by trade having learned under the father
of j. A. Harris. He continued to work
at his trade for several years, until the
work became too laborious for him, when
he moved toPhiladelphia where he accep-
ted the position of Superintendent of the
North American Coal Company's
wharves on the Schuylkill at Lombard
street. After faithfully filling the position
for number of years, he resigned and
went again to work at his trade, being
employed by the p, w. & B. r. X. Co.,
for "a number of years during which time
he helped to build the depot at Broad
and Prime streets.
He was also for a number OF years
mail messenger, between the post Office
and the depot, where he was first ap--
pointed, the post Office was on Third
street, and instead of having horse and
wagon to cary the mails, he was obliged
to wheel them in q whell-barrow which
did for several thousands days and nights
without missing once. Although he was
not member of any church, he has al
ways led an upright life, and was never
known to take advantage of any person.
At the time of his death be was executive
officer of the Board of Health for the
Eastern District of the city.
Although his death was caused by gen
eral debility, it was no doubt hastened on
by the severe fall that he sustained one
morning last January, by falling down
flight of stairs. The funeral will take
place on next Tuesday morning at lO
O'Clock. He was an answering Demo
crat all his life.

MIR. DIOGENEs

This singular man lived in Greece
He was distinguished for his eccentrici-
bies, bad manners, and bad disposition. 1t
was his chief business to fnd fault. For
example, he took lantern one day when
the sun was shining brightly, and went
ont to search for an honest man, thereby
Insulating that such persons were exceed
ingly scarce. When Alexander, adistin
guished military gentleman, paid him
him, he had the impudence to tell him to
"get out of his sunshine" To cap the
climax of his oddities, he dressed like a
beggar and lived in a tub! He was
sour, grabbed, crusty old bachelor. We
infer that he had no wife, first, because
history does not mention her; second, be-
cause no woman would take kindly to
one of his habits, dress or manners, or
aspire to become mistress of his mansion.
"There was an old woman she lived in Q
shoe" it is true, but woman who would
live in tub, and especially with such q
conapdn,on, has not been heard fro m
The misantrophic spirit which possessed
this man was doubtless due to disordered
digestion and a billiousness, one of the
prominent symptoms of which is q morosc
fault-finding disposition. The tongue is
heavily coated, giving rise to bad taste,
the appetite is not good, and the patient
feels dull, sleepy, or dizzy, and is apt to
be fretful. Unfortunately, Mr.. Diogenes
lived several centuries before DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets were invent-
ed, a few doses of which would have re-
lieyed him of his "bile," and enabled
him to find scores of "honest men" with
out the aid of his lantern. Under their
magic influence, combined with that of
the Golden M edical Discovery, to cleanse
his blood, he might have been led to take
a more cheerful view of life, to exchange
his tub for decent habitatlon, to "spruce
up" in personal appearance. and at last
have taken wife to mend his clothes
and his manners, both of were in evident
need of repairs, and become the happy
sire of little Diogeneses who would have
handed down to prosperity the name,
not of a cynic philosopher, but of a cheer
ful, happy, Uirtuous man !!

DEATH OF PROMINENT CITIZEN
Tho community will be less surprised
than grieved to learn that John r. Price
Esq, Of Chesapeake City, is dead. That
eminently just and esteemed man vie Id
Thursday night last, in his sixty-eighth

more than a quarter Of century has fll-
ed the position of Superintendent, with
marked ability and to the entire satis-
faction of public and the company. He
was a man of the strictest integrity and
business habits, yet withal was tho em-
bodinent of geniality and warmth. His
death will cause in business and social
circles void hard to fill. Cecil Dem.

fact that the town of New Castle has a
valuable property which was donated to

267,50. The debt incurred in rebuild ng
the hotel at Hare's Corner has been re-
duced to $1,000, which will be paid off
entirely in about two years, it is thought.
The balance of the income, except $780,
% in the hands of the Treasurer, was
used on the farms in the way of improve
ments, repairs. taxes, &C., and also in
paying the interest on the New Castle
water loan taken by the Trustees. There
is still due the sum of 1915 for rents not
paid when the account was made up. The

STRANGLRp TO DEATH ON A FENCE

STRANGLRD TO DEATH ON A FENCE.
John Berg. well-known chimney
sweep, whs travelled through Berks and
adjoining counties, was found dead near
Rehrersburg, Berks county, his body
dangling from top rail of a fence. 1t is
supposed that in attempting to jump
across the fence, while in an intoxicated
condition, the strap Of the leather bag
which he carried with hin, slipped up un-
der his neck and strangled him. The
boy was found hanging on one side ofthe
fence, and the bag ON the other. 1t is
thought that he was too helpless to ex-
tricate himself, and that he strangled to
death. The deceased was of German de-
cent, and hailed from Annville, Lebanon
county.-West Chester Ne,cs.
