At the conclusion of Mr.. Ridgway's me-

announced the collection for the Sabbath

VERY BUSY.

NkRl bISf.
Our sexton, William Clayton, who has
charge of the cemetery and also the old
grave yard belonging to the Society of
Friends, has been quite busy the past week
or so moving and cleaning up the walks,
etc, which adds very materially to the
looks of the grounds. Mr.. G. thoroughly
understands keeping cemetery lots in pro
per condition.
QUITE GREEN.
Owing to the continued wet weather the
corn fields are assuming quite green ap-
pearance in this yicinity-we mean the
grass.
STRANGE.
The Oxford fair is over and the premium
for the fastest trotting went to Whorten
Station, Maryland. This is strange, GER
tarly, yet Fannie did her work well.
HARVESTING.
The rattle of the moving machine will
be heard in many of our farmers fields to-
day Saturday; it is thought wheat will
also be ripe in about fifteen days, making
it much earlier than usual.
BUSINESS.
Crothers is creating considerable envy
among the neighboriug stores in regard to
low prices, etc, and is continuing to lay in
more goods at still lower prices than ever.
Jim will let all live who deal with him.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Samuel Brown, residing two miles west
of this place, raised the frame work for a
fine barn, on Wednesday last, 40x50, and
straw house 24x30; this will be quite an
addition to his already we'll improved prop
erty.
SALE OF REAL ESTATE.
We are informed that Mr.. William Wor-
rell, near this place, has sold his property,
including his stock and farming imple-
ments, about the first of this week, to a
gentleman from New Castle county, Del.
His name and price we have been unable
to learn.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The entire set of buildings, at the upper
end, have received their annual coat of
whtewash this week, and present neat

AN UNWORTHY EyANGELIsT.-The peri
odical row among the dusky denizens of
Water street took place as usual last Sun
day. This time it seems to have been caused
by Joe Gordon, the Wilmington evangelist,
who was charged, upon the oath and infor-
nation of Samuel Stewart, of Water street,
with stealing suit of his clothes and with
an attempt to steal his wife also. 1t, how
ever, appeared that Mrs. Stewart had be-
come enamored of the graceful person and
ebony countenance of the preacher, and had
taken her husbands clothes from his trunk
and given them to him on Saturday, and
that Stewart had objected to this and had
"gone" for Gordon in very unceremonious
manner on Sunday, whereupon the woman
in the case had threatened to cut her hus-
bands throat, or to poison him, etc., etc.
But to shorten long story, the Justice
gave Gordon his choice, either to leave the
State or go to Jail till court, whereupon he
chose the former alternative, but was afraid
to start just then, and the Sheriff conveyed
hiin W JAN tili tHe pdssious VI tue w dtcI
streeters should subside and he might leave
in safety. He remained safely in Jail till
Thursday morning, when he started south
ward upon tour of evangelization among
his brethren in Baltimore, still fearing he
might be waylaid if he attempted to reach
Wilmington. Mrs. Stewart was sent to
Jail for thirty days for violating the town
ordinance and creating disturbance on
the Sabbath day. We doubt if the CONT
nent of Africa contains spot where mis-
sionary labor is more needed than it is in
Water street.

Ground was broken, on Monday, for the
new temperance tabernacle, on the lot ad-
Joining the furniture ware room of Mr..
Foster Owing to the difficulty OF getting
the lot deep enough, the building commit
tee are under the necessity of changing
somewhat the size of the building. In
stead of being 60x30 feet, as was originally
determined, it will be about J0x35 feet,
which will give more audience room than
the hall lately occupied by the Society.
SAD ACCIDENT.
On Tuesday, an accident occurred at
McClennahan & Bros quarry. by which
one of the oldest and most reliable of their
workmen, Mr. John Murry, was severely
wounded. Notice had been given that a
blast was about to be put off, and Murry,
who had charge of a cart, drove off to what
was considered safe distance, and was
sitting in his cart, with two or three others,
when stone from the blast, weighing
about ten pounds, and the only one that
was thrown to any distance, fell on his
right hand and leg, tearing the skin and
flesh from his hand, cutting his right leg
and badly bruising the other. 1t was
miracle that no bones were broken. The
and it will he a long time before he is able
to resume his duties.
EOAT RACE.
Quite a number of our citizens, young
men principally, took a trip to Havre de
Grace, to witness the sail boat race that
was advertised to come off on that day.
Owing to there being but little wind, the
race was not at all interesting or exciting,
but to make amends for it, it is reported
that with the aid of Havre de Grace whisky
they managed to have some excitement.
DEATHS.
Our town was startled by the an
nouncement, on Thursday, morning, that
cur highly esteemed friend and honored
physician, Doctor John Evans, had de-
parted this life, his demise occurring be-
tween the hours of 10 and II O'clock
Doctor Evans was extensively known and
highly appreciated as a physician and sur
geon both in Hartford and Cecil counties,
where he has practced for over forty years.
He had been in delicate health for some
years, but still continued his practice He
WAS taken quite ILL., few days since, being
confined to his bed, but nothing serious
was apprehended 10y his friends, and his
sudden death has taken US all by surprise.
There were few who stood higher in his
profession than Doctor john Evans. He
was kind and sympathetic with his patients,
and his death will be deeply deplored and
regretted by ALL The funeral will take
place at z. NJ, on Sunday.
On Thursday, at + p. NJ, Mrs. Rachel
Norris, who has been living with her SON
in-law, Mr.. John Eannort, was found lying
i'll the sitting room unconscious. Help
was summoned and she was carried and
laid on the bed, where she revived little,
sufficiently to recognize her friends; spoke
few words, and III fifteen minutes was
dead. 1t was supposed TO be disease of
the heart, to which she had been subject
for some years. Thus we have two sudden
deaths IN the same day, within a few hours
of each other. There could not have been
much difference in their ages, each of them
being over sixty years of age.

A CURIOUS DREAM AND WHAT CANE OF
IT.-Philosophers have specuated much
upon the cause of dreams, poets have sung
of them in moving numbers, and the i'm
mortal Bunyan traced the Christian career
under the smilitude of dream so truth
fully and SO beautifully as to win for him.
self the title of "prince of dreamers. -
But it remained for an ancient widow lady
of Elkton to add another chapter to their
history, which she did, on Sunday night
last. She and her daughter were in charge
of house, the usual occupants of which
were absent from town, and the twain re-
tired to rest as usual. We should have
said, retired to dream, at least, the mother
did, but her dreams were not like those of
the exile of Erin and its sea beaten shore,
nor were they like the sailor boys "dream
of delight" nor did she, like Byron, dream
of darkness, but, sad to say, she dreamed
that man pulled her toe, which woke her
up. But, strange to say, she slept again,
and again she dreamed; this time the cow
ardly wretch, with clenched and impious
fist, gave her heavy blow upon the breast.
This was too much to take, so awaking
her daughter, the twain hoisted a window
and took refuge on a shed roof where they
gave vent to their terror in cIy that
would have shamed the vocal powers of
Stentor, in his palmiest days. This soon
awoke the slumbering neigbbors, who has
tily armed themselves with pistols, fowling
and defensive, and being led by one of the
dignitaries of the court (Judge L., whose
slumbers had been disturbed) and an old
soldier and ex-major, both armed to the
teeth, FASTENED to the scene of the hubbub.
Upon making an examination of the
house, the doors and windows were all
found to be securely fastened, and the val
lant company who were all well armed and
sought the dreaming females, now pretty
wide awake, to go back into the house and
let them in for, be it known, the house
was so well fastened they could not get into
IL themselves, WlInOuI DledkIHp IL OPEN
but with the pertinacity Of the sex, they
refused to do this, and one of the men was
obliged to climb to the roof of the shed
and enter the house in that way. A thor
ough search was made, but no "man " was
found, yet the frightened females insist
that one was there, while the valiant
knights of the rescuing party, now thor
oughly convinced that there had been
"much ado about nothing" sought Sheir
homes, sader and wiser men.

OUR DISTRICT CONFERENCE,
of last week, passed off quite satisfactorily,
we believe, both to the visitors and to our
citizens. The deliberations were alike in,
structive and amusing. The last evening
was spent in discussing the best mode of
teaching Sabbath school children, in which
there was some very wholesome advice
given to teachers, and at the close of which
the presiding officer, Rev. J. b. Quigg re
turned his thanks for the kind treatment
from the hands of our citizens. and he be-
lieved that to be the sentiment of all con-
cerned, and to show their high appreciation
for which, he said, they intended to hold
another conference with the people of
North East. The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Murray,
replied 10 him. saying that during the Con
ference he lad heard but one complaint,
which was that the Conference was SO early
IN the season the chickens were too small,
which remark provoked quite smile
Whereupon Rev. Mr.. France arose and
said that the brother was under quite a
mistake, as he believed none of the mem
bers ever thought of chickens; but as this
town was a noted place for fish, and as
preachers generally entertained the belief
that fish was excellent food for the brain,
they concluded to hold the Conference early
i'll the season for the purpose of brain cul
ture, and he believed they were benefited
by it, which created quite laugh. Mr.
Murray gave it up.
INJURED.
On Sunday evening last, Benz. Groves,
while ust recovering from an attack from
King Alcohol, took a fit and fell, fracturing
his arm aud collar bone. He is said to be
in critical condition. We would here re-
mark that it is no unusual thing to see
men reeling to and fro on the sidewalks,
and we hear much complaint about the
drunken roughs congIegating Oh the bridge
till late hour of the night, greatly to the
annoyance of passers-by.
FESTIVAL.
The ladies' of the Mite Society of the
NJ. f. Church will hold festival, for the
benefit of the Parsonage, on Friday and
Saturday evenings, June 21st and 22nd.
\ SUIT COMPROMISED.
\ suit was to have come off before Squire
|. n. Benjamin, on Wednesday, between
the Town Commissioners and J. f. Roach,
for trespass; but after due consideration
the matter was settled between themselves,
by the latter paying Sl5 costs and fines.
THE CROPS PROSPECTIVE.
The prospect for wheat and grass is quite
encouraging for the farmers in this commu-
nifty. In a few more days the former will
bo ready for the sickle. The oats prospect
is also good, and the corn begins to look
promising.
THE ROCK ROAD,
between the railroad and the post road, is
being greatly improved by the use of Gin.

PRIVATE THEATRICALs.-The ladies and
gentlemen connected with this popular lit
tie association gave another of their choice
entertainments last Tuesday evening, and
judging from the applause received and
from the numerous and floral tributes show
cred upon the stage, their efforts were
certainly highly appreciated. The curtain
rose at 81 o'clock, and the invited guests
were favored with three separate plays
each successive one rivaling the other in
the ease and grace shown by the talented
young amateurs. The lady participants
especially won much praise for the conf
dence shown before a rather critical audi
ence; most of them had never appeared
before the foot-lights on any former occa-
sion; but any stranger would certainly
have taken them for old performers. After
the last act the spacious rooms were thrown
open for dancing, in which all the guests
Joined; and this, with music vocal and in
strumental, and ch oice refreshments served
in the green room, kept up the most pleas
ant evening of the season until l O'Clock.
The association have in view several more
efforts in the course of the season, includ-
ing, it is limited, one in the hall, where the
new and beautiful scenery will add much
to the effect.

CHILDREN's DAY.


Last Sabbath was Children's Day here,
and the kind pastor provided feast for
them, not of sweet meats, but that kind
which is more lasting and beneficial. Mr.
Alfred Scott came by request; he is won
derfnlly endowed with tact for talking to
children; his manner is to teach by objects
important lessons. To us it was real
pleasure. He spoke at st. Paurs in the
morning, and, although his discourse was
directed to children, it found its way to the
hearts Of hardened men, Judging from the
tender tears. The plain old time meeting
house was made to look real pretty by a
few wreaths and some handsome bouquets.
Seven more probatiOBers were taken into
full connection with the church. Among
the young ladies was one who had the cour-
age to stand up before the audience with
out feather or flower in her hat her dress
was correspondingly plain and pretty also.
DIED.
Along the shore, which is washed by the
water of Captain Johns creek, stands a
little one story and a half house. The pro-
prietor of that humble abode, short time
ago, was stricken by disease, and after suf-
tering but a few days, died. The two or
three carriages which followed his remains
to the place where strangers are inferred
contrasted very noticeably with some 9TH

life as we make ourselves valuable. Ills
name was Myron Hovier.

The families that were kept sick during
last year by chills and fever have already
had them.

two of the haudsomcst rivers that adorn
the shores Of Maryland amid fine farms
abounding with the lucious peach and
fruitful vine; acres of the most promising
wheat that ever graced the fields Of "a farmer,
only about three miles from the site of the
