much, but the affair caused considerable
nervousness.
Where tie Oysters 1re.-There are about
seventy or eighty oyster pungies and
schooners now in harbor off Kent Island in

Baltimore at this time would bring the
price OF a good Eastern Shore farm.

This is a falling of in the value of the

the trip in thirty minutes. The fact Of
four persons driving over the Chesapcake

The night of the escape, this convict war

And few thy love receive"
Has Jesus Gospel lost its power?
Art thou less willing now that our
Lost world to Thee be won
Than when the Gift Divine was made
And help upon the mighty laid"
In Christ thine only Son?

Attorney General Pennington of Dover
visited the scene of the duel near MarVdcl
on Wednesday, to find out for himself
whether or not the rencoantcr took place i'm
Delaware or Maryland. He is satisfied that
the spot where the parties stood is at least
400 yards over the line IN the State Of
Maryland, which of course relieves him OF
all action in the matter.
DCEL LAW IN DELAwARE.-Juigc Houston
says that the law of the State is very mild
on the subject of duelS. In the only one

know both that Webb was nervous about

made up his mind to quietly ignore the
affair unless he should bc forced hy the
action Of a Grand jury to take some official
cognizance Of it. \ similar feeling, Judge
Houston thinks, would prevail now. If a
Grand jury should present the matter,
however, it would he necessary for the
Governor to issue his rcquisitiOn for the

triouS farmers with little means to make
this the Paradise of America. There is no
section in the Union with more euu,blc
climate than this peninsula. Taxes are
very low and land cheap-and that this Is
healthy section is corrohorated by any
amount of testimony. The country is we'll
provided with churches and schools. The
climate and natural fertility of the soil, its
easy cultivation, luXures, and the mex.
hauStihle fish and oyster beds, make il at.
tractivc to the people. Among the distin.
gushing features are the early seasons. and
the wonderful means of communication
with all the great markets, both hy water
and railroad. The sun never shown on a
land so peculiarly blessed as this. The
people here require Northern energy and
capital to devplope the resources of the

JONAS KEISER,
The following is Il private letter written
IN answer to the enquiries of friend:
HarriSJurg, Dec Is, 1876.
Dcor Sr: | think the eastern shore of
Maryland and the State of Delaware are
very good places for small farmers. With
II small amount of money a man can get
at least five or ten acres of land with a
small cottage of two or three rooms. The
climate is mild and fine. 1t is splendid
garden land, on few acres of which man
can i8i-c sweet and other potatoes, cabbage.
,"t "a. other vegetables sufficient for a
family. 1t is the finest country for
peaches, grapes, and most all other small
fruit, which can be raised with little ex.
pense and trouble. The Chesapeake and
Delaware bays, with the many fine streams.
furnish any amount of fresh fish, oysters,
terrapln, crabs, wild ducks, geese, etc
Besides all this, you are but a few hours
ride from Baltimore, Washington, Philadel
phia and New York. Land can be bought
at reasonable prices close to schools,
churches, mills, railroad stations and
steamboat landings. The common roads
are first-class. Yours,
Ii, B. HOFFMAN.

a CHEAP Ice CREEPER.-In view of the
many accidents that occur from slipping on
the ics--some fatal, others terribly painful
we give the following suggestion which
appeared in the columns of the Philadel-
phia Ledgera few days ago "From the leg
of an old wooden stocking, or from an old
felt hat cut pieces the shape and slae of the
front sole of the shoe. With dissolved gum.
elastic (india ruhber), purchasable in fifty.
cent boxes at any rubber goods store, coat
the sole and stick the wooden material
thereon, and you will have reliable
creeper at a cost less than two cents per
