LAUREL, Del, June 4, 1873.
g. p. JOHNSON, DEAR SIR:-Thinkinp
some of your readers would like to hear
from the lower part of Sussex, 1 take
TINS opportunity to write you a short
letter to let you know how our town is
progressing. Laurel is greatly improv-
ing, by the erection of some very fine
buildings. Messrs. j. w. Wootten IL Son
are building a very large storehouse
which will be, when finished, one of the
finest buildings in Laurel and will add
greatly to the appearance of the town.
Hon. j. f. Moore, has erected very
fine storehouse for Geo. b. Phillips
Esq. Col. Thomas, G. Horsey, has a
very fine residence on the suburb of the
town. Messrs. Adams 81 Co.'s new mill
that was burnt some time ago, has been
replaced by now one, and they expect
10 resume work in a. short time. Our
basket and crate manufacturer, Mr.. j.
II. Marvis, has filled all orders that have
been received so far and is now busily
engaged i'll the manufacture of peach
baskets which are very salable on the
Peninsula. Our blacksmith, Mr.. Elijah
Hearn,is verybusily engagedin the manu-
1acture of new iron harrows, which sell
very readily, as they are of the new
kind.
The wheat crop has been damaged by
! he cold rainswhich have prevailed during
the last two or three weeks but I he farm
ers are in good spirits yet, as they think
There will be very good crop consider
lng the times. The strawberries are grow
ing to close and the farmers have re-
ceived very good prices all the season.
Inc blackberry crop will soon be out

Death of Major Black.

Major John G. Black, we'll known
citizen of Smyrna died at his residence
in that town yesterday morning, at the
mature age of rs yea s. His health ha.
has been failing for some time, but moth
ing alarming was evinced until q
few days ago. He wa. native of Mary
land, but married and has resided in
Smyrna the latter half of his life. He
lived just and quiet life, and never
forfeited the friendship or respect of the
community. His chief characteristic
was that of attending To his own busi-
ness, and seemingly he had little taste
for public measures of either a muni-
cipal or political character, and never
allowded himself, to come before the
people for any Office. He leaves a very

A Case of HydrOphobia.
LITTLE CHILD BITTEN BY DOG THRE
WEEKS AGO GOES MAD

LITTLE CHILD BITTEN BY ADoG THREE
WEEKS AGO GOES MAD.
Just three weeks ago to-day Lawrence
| a little three year old child of Edward
Carson, who resides at No. 4O3 Il. Sew
enth street, was bitten by dog, and to
day, at this writing it is lying in the throes
| of death.
IL will be remembered by our readers,
a localappearedin in these columns the nexI
day after the affair occurred stating that
a dog supposed to have been mad, visited
the neighborhood of Seventh and Poplal
streets, and was chased and killed at the
corner of Seventh and Walnut.
| The dog in question, was a medium
sized bull terrier, and belonged to Walton
| Whann q Co., who did not know at the
Time, that the dog was at large. In con.
| versatlon with Mr.. Buck one of the mem
| Ders OF the firm, this morning, he stated
that when they learned that the dog had
Deen Killed, they were not only surpri ed
| but very much panied as the animal had
never been allowed to leave the yard and
they felt great sympathy for the afflicted
family.
When the dog attacked the little fell
low in front of his house, it flew at him
and catching him by the right cheek, tore
| a large piece out of it, and so fierce was
the attack that the boy was thrown to
.ho PoNSihcuI' AlItT ne nau Dltten the
boy the dog crossed the street, and bit a
dog belonging to Mr.. Buckley, who re-
sides at No. 402 K. Seventh street. This
| action on the part of the animal soon
collected crowd, who gave chase, and
as the dog was passing Seventh and Wal
nut, colored man named Gumby hurled
a brick at the dog, knocking him sense
less, when some one drew a revolver
and soon put an end to its life.
The little boy was carried into his
home, and DR.. Wales summoned, who
sewed up the CASH He continued to at
tend the little fellow, and in the course
of week he seemed to be all right. until
Tuesday afternoon last about 2 o'clock
when he was suddenly seized with a
spasm, and frothing at the mouth. The
physician was again summoned, but he
did not seem to grow any better, that is
he still continued to have spasms at in
tevalS.
Last evening, DR.. Wales, together with
Drs. Grlmshaw and Draper held a con-
sultaton over the case but with what
conclusion cannot be ascertained. This
morning another consultation was held
by Drs. Wale', Bush, Draper, Grimshaw
htrchner anu Brown, and they were
still In session at 11.19O' clock. There are
no hopes that the little fellow will live,
andIhis morning the parents hadhis photo
graph taken. He does not seem to suf-
fer greatly, but was dying from the
weakness caused by the spasms. He is
the only child and his parents are almost
wild with grief.
The dog which was bitten has been
chained in the yard of his owner, who de-
sires to prove whether the attacking dog
was mad or not.

THE REPUBLICAN, MAYoRALTY CANVASS
SATURDAYS NOMINATION ELBcTIoN.

THE REPUBLICAN MAYoRALTY CANVASS
SATURDAYS NOMINATION ELECTION.
The Republican meeting on Saturday
evening last was not only the opening of
the city canvass by the Republican, but
was the preliminary skirmish of the
great contest for the mayoralty nomina-
ton, between the adherents of Messrs
Gallagher, Patterson and Fraim. The
withdrawal of Capt. Macalister, which
appears to have been secured by the
very convenient extension of the term of
City Solicitor to three years, and his re-
election to the office, narrows, the con-
test considerably, and inspires the on
ponents of Capt Gallagher with the
hope that they will now be able to de-
feat him. With them it is "anything to
beat Gallagher" and for this great OBJ
ject they will doubtless concentrate
their forces upon John g. Patterson,
ESD, as the most available candidate for
the purpose.
The first meeting on Saturday evening
last, was neatly captured by the Gallagh-
er opponents, and they did not leave the
doughty captain the ghost of chance
Tor good show on the City Executive
Committee which is to be appointed His
followers at the meeting made no special
effort in his behalf, for the reason, as one
OF them stated, if they succeeded in car
rylng their points the cry would 90 out
that the meeting was packed in the in
terest of Gallagher; therefore they con
ciuded to let the opposition run that
part OF the machine without any consi-
derable objection.
The next meeting will be held on Sa-
turday evening, when City Executive
Committee will be appointed Great in
terest centres in this meeting, as the com
mittee appointed to nominate an Execu-
i've Committee contains only one of
captain Gallaghers expressed friends,
and will doubtless report an Executive
Committee of the same complexion. I'm
less the Captains friends succeed in can
turing this meeting he will stand a poor
show as far as Executive Committee is
concerned.

AN INVESTIGATION


WASHINGTON, June 5.-The cross-ex-
aiilihatlon OF Anderson before the Potter
!hVesuBation committee was continued
To-Day. AS ON yesterday, the witness
was subjected to a rigid course of oues-
tloning, and one side is of the opinion
that Anderson has been completely brok-
en- down, while the other side considers
tnat the damaging statements made by
niin nave not been noticeaDly impeached.
MI Matthews made a personal eXplana-
lon IN the Senate To-day in regard to his
connection with Anderson, denying any
improper acts on his part, which he sup
plemented oy offering resolution for a
seiect committee to inquire into the
whole subject. The resolution was of
course passed without dissent. After
wards, in conversation on the subject,
senators were 10th to express individual
views for publication. The general SEN
tlment, however, on both sides of the
chamber appeared to be friendly toward
MIR. Matthews. Prominent Southern
Senators said that Mr.. Matthews had
been universally agreeable and courteous
in his Intercourse with them since his
entrance into the Senate, and they would
be glad ii he could prove that he had
not been guilty of any criminality. 1t
was sad that he stood almost alone in
the Senate, as he was not in active affi IL
atlon with either party. In regard to
his statement it was said that it was very
adroitly and skillfully conceived, and
was not really such an explicit denial as
1t appeared to be on its face. The COM
mittee under Mr.. Matthews's resolution
will probably be announced tomorrow.
The Senators most prominently mention
ed in this connection are Messrs. Ed
Howe, Hoar, Davis of Illinois,
Thurman. BaYard. WhYte and Lamar.
