TEE pupils Of the Rockville. Conn.
public school agreed the other day to
initiate Napoleon and fight q sham bat
tie with snovbslls. One Of the balls
unfortunately lodged in the eye oil a
combatant. and this 30 snraged him that
he "wsnt for that fellow" who threw
il. Then the others joined in with
either side. and a general fight was the
result. Now the eye or nose OF every
boy in Rockville 10 adorned with a po-
rous plaster. and the parents Of the di.
lapidaisd warriors swear that Napoleon
Is q humbug. and that his life should be
excluded from the text books Of the
school. They don't want their boys to
develop into horoes at the expense OF
damaged optics and mutilated ~probosces.
And those parents are right. They have
our hsarties, sympathy. The teacher
who could thus arouse the youthful am.
bition to deeds Of blood should be
planted firmly in q snow-bank and pep
psred with snowballs by every passer'by.
His reckless teachings have ruined the
top-piscs Of every boy in Rockville.

A Long Lost Watch Found.

Thirteen years ago on June 1st, John
Palmer and wife, of Wilmington paid a
visit to Charles Palmer, in Concod Town
ship Delaware county, Pa, and while
there Mrs. Palmer lost her gold watch,
The most diligent search was made for
it, but all efforts to find it failed, and some
workmen were even suspicioned for TAX
ing it. Time, however, SETS all things
right, for week or two since, the field
where it was lost, having recently been
plowed, the identical watch was found,
in good condition, even the hands being
quite perfect. Lewis Palmer, who now
occupies the place, last week returned the
watch to its owner, much to the gratifi-
cation of all concerned, not only because
of its value but also because the finding
of it cleared away a doubt concerning
its disappearance which might have work
ed injury to some innocent person.
The daily gazette., 1878-07-17
what it Means.

Going "down the bay" means sleep
ing on straw in the hold of vessel, or
ali old sail or coil or ropes; getting up
at three o'clock in the morRing and won
dering how soon breakfast will be ready;
fighting mosquitoes in the night and
green headed flies in the day time; fish
ing in waters without getting bite, and
being told that some fellow caught 140
trout in an hour the day before, angling
for black fish that lun away with your
lit nine times out of ten, aud when you
do catch one it is only little one; pui-
ling four-pound sheep's-head Just out
of the water when he aggravatingly drops
back again, and that is the last of him
1t means being bounced by the storms.
and lying becalmed for hours waiting for
head winds and tides when you want to
reach desired haven. 1t means variety,

TRAMPs ON THE RAMPAGE.

Last evening, about 1890 O'Clock, just
as detective William Leggg, was about
to enter his residence, horseman was
seen coming up the street, his horse on a
full run, eyes distended, and, his fianks
covered with foam. Upon arriving in
front of Mr.. Legg's house, the horse was
suddenly halted, and the rider as fast as
his breath would admit informed the de-
tective that over one hundred tramps
had congregated at New Castle junction
and Were breaking open the cars in order
to take a nights rest. The messenger
also stated that David Wingate, the
private .watchman, had protected himself
as his ammunition lasted.
Mr.. Legg secured the services of Ser
geant Legg, four officers, and about fl
teen railroad men, and proceeded out to
the scene on special train, but upon ar
riying there found no tramps. Whether
there any there in the first place is a
question.
