BUDD DOBLE ON NIOLLIE
Nl'CARTHY.
WHAT THE PHILADELPHIA HoRsEMAN

WHAT THE PHILADELPHIA HORsEMAN
WILL DO WITH HIS PURCHASE.
From the Louisville Evening News, July
10.
Mr.. Budd Doble informed a Necs re-
porter yesterday that he would enter NJ OIL
lie Mccarthy for the fall races at Balti-
more, Saratoga, Long Branch and J Jerome
Park and possibly bring her to Louisville
at the fall meeting of the Jockey Club.
He says she has fully recovered from her
overheating here on the 4th aud in two
weeks will be as good as she ever was.
He expresses the most unbcunded conf
deEce in the ability of the mare to make
the best record ever made by any mare
in America. He made an offer for Mol
lie Mccarthy before she was brought to
this city from California, but the nego-
hations were not finally closed until Sat-
urday last, at the Gait House, in this city.
The price paid tor her was $1,000. This
information was derived from a gentle
man who saw the transfer papers and
knows. Mr.. Winters, it is stated, had
several times refused $4,000 for Mollie,
but after the race ofthe Fourth he feared
she had been permanently injured, and 4,
losing confidence in her from this fear de-
termined to Sell her. 1t is NOR, than
probable she will run with Parole during
her Eastern trip, in which event her
friends are confident she will beat the
conqueror often Broeck and demonstrate
her qualities as one of the fieetest Of
American racers. She Is not likely to to
put to another four mile test this year,
and her races in the East will, if possible,
be made at two to two-and-a-half-mi 10
dashes. For this distance Mr.. Doble is
confident Mollie Mccarthy is the fastest
animal in the United States.

A LISlBER BUM.

Officer Cropper and Bouzearth came
across a man named AL Windle, down
near Front and Market streets, tins morn
ing, in most delightfully."- timber state
of intoxication. His legs were utterly
devoid of strength, and swung helplessly
along the pavement as the officers tender
y assisted him up the street. Between
Third and Fourth streets wheelbarrow
was borrowed from colored man, and
the drunken mass of humanity was care
fully deposited on this handy conveyance.
Officer Bouzearth took the shafts, and
officer Cropper steadied the bobping head
of the drunken man, who was then
slowly wheeled to the station house and
locked up to sleep off the effects of his
disgusting debauch.

FIFTH EDITION..

For the Gazette.
MR.. EDIroR:- Your correspondent, B.
under the heading. "Sale of small meats"
He no doubt speaks the honest Sc ntiment
0f his mind and takes a commonsense
view of the situation when he says: al
am highly in favor of allowing farmers to
sell all they can raise on their farms In
our markets but think 1t unjust to make
them pay a license There no doubt
are many working men who would like
that the farmers should have just the
privilege that "B" would give them yet
there are men in Wilmington who have
influence that prevents the consumation
of the desires of the working men to get
cheap food for the reason that the men OF
influence are profitipg by the present
high prices, when that is the case, what
matters If it does take all a working man
can earn to scantily cloth and feed him.
So that the men of influence profit there
by. The farmers feel that an injustice is
done them and would willingly pay for
the privilege of standing at the curbstone
and selling their products at reasonable
price to avoid the annoyance that they
have heretofore been subjected to. But
the men who run the city of Wilmington
say no. do not mean to say your coun-
cll would not give the farmers the Just
rights that every citizen of Delaware
should enjoy. The right to sell the pro-
duct of his roll and labor produced in the
state. am no constitutional lawyer but
little commonsense tells me that we
have the natural right to dispose of the
products of our farms. The Municipal
government of the city may require
us to bay license for the privilege
OF selling, to which the farmers
do not object, but TO say they shall not
sell, As il now done, is a point that they
think may be argued with some show Of
right on the side of the farmer. The
Delaware, and in common defense, may
be obliged to join together and elect
men to our legislature who will protect
their rights, and every farmer will do
well to see at the coming nominate on
elections of both parties that men are
nominated who will protect them in
their rights. I he farmers are not beg
ging for favors from the city of Wilmi ng-
ton, only asking for their right, which
they know belong to them knowing
them dare defend them. / would, as a
farmer, agree to pay my share to make a
test case TO know the reason why
person shall be deprived of the right TO
dispose of the products of his labor. The
ordinance nnder which Homewood and
other farmers had been tormented and
prosecuted was good law until it was in
vestigated, when it proved worthless and
the present ordinance was enacted to
annoy farmers, and make citizens pay
high price for their family supplies, to
the great advantage Of those persons
who manipulate city elections.

MARYLAND Cutting ARRAY.

On Saturday evening fatal cutting af-
fray occurred in the vicinity of Corsica
creek. near Centreville, Queen Anne's
county, Md. 1t appears that Thomas
Morton hand on a schooner comman-
ded by Capt. Ross, got into a difficulty
with VIM. Groce, a young colored man.
Morton had chased two colored boys,
brothers of Groce, with sheath-knife in
playfulness, but in encountering Groce an
alteration occurred, and words led to
blows. They clinched in the struggle,
during which Groce was stabbed, caus-
irg a wound from which he died the next
day. Morton fled Immediately after the
act: Constable Jump started in pursuit,
and searched for him in Baltimore, but
without success. 1t is surmised the NJ or
ton made his escape to the Eastern Shore
of Virginia.

The Canadian Visitors.

Since their arrival in Dover the party
Of Canadian visitors have been inspecting
different parts Of Kent County. Of their
impressions in regard to what they saw
the Dover papers says:
How do they like Kent? From all that
we can gather, very much. They pro-
nounce this section of the State the best
agricultural district they ever saw. Their
usual comment is that we are somewhat
behind the age-that we need i'm
proved methods of tillage, more grass
and better stock. They speak of the
country and climate as being much more
favorable to crops than their own bleak
and cold regions, and many are deter
mined If they can purchase lands at fair
rates to abide with us. We bid them
welcome. Enterprise, thrift and indus
try can surely win here.
They do not believe in peach growing
corn, wheat and stock grass, they think,
pay better, and they find here the land
that exactly suits their opinions. They
have come here with the intention of
buying; and are regarding the appearance
of the land carefully.

A Beautiful Little Shin.

Councilman Thomas johnson, super
intendant of the Harlan a. Holllngs-
worth Company's ship yards, received a
handsome present, last evening consist
ing of beautiful model OF full rugged
ship. The hull is about 2 feet, 7 inches
long (made from 275 feet model on
scale of one-eighth of an inch to the foot J
and is perfectly proportioned from stem
to stern, besides being provided with all
the appliances of large ship. The rigging
is complete in every respec', the model
being provided with every spar, sheet,
rope and block that is found on a large
full rigged ship. This beautiful present
will have resting place in Mr.. Johnson's
parlor, and will be trimmed with small
flags and enclosed in glass case. 1t
will then certainly be the most beauti-
full miniature ship in the city. The hull
was made by MIR. Henry Kinsk ey,
draughtsman lately in the employ of
the Ii. Il 81. Company, and the rigging
was the sole, unaided WORK of Mr.. Lewis
Burroughs, a ship carpenter employed in
the ship yard. 1t is certainly a piece of
workmanship that reflects great credit
upon those engaged in its construction,
and is source OF pleasure to its posses
