creased litigation in this county that only
about half us many suits have been msti-
tuted during the year ending with the com
mencement Of the September term OF court,
1879, as compared with the year previous.
Sheriff Boulder informs us that he has been
able to transact all his official business
without the assistance Of Il deputy since
February last, while before that time HIM
self and deputy were kept busy. There Is
:, gratifying decrease in the criminal bust
ness also, it being noticeable that while three
homicioes were committed during the last
nine months of 1878, none have been COM
mittcd for nearly year past.
We respectfully call the attention of the
Town Commissioners to the rspr-hensibie
and dangerous practice of some Of the boys
Of the town who aminu,e themselves with
sling Shots as th.y are called, which is a
C 'utrivance TO throw stones, and will project
taem almost with the force of rifle balls.
Many panes Of glass have been broken by
this means and the eyes, if not the lives, OF
pedestrians have frequently been endan
gered. Recently We understand that this
nuisance became So bad III some of the
Peninsular towns that ordinances have bsen
plaything. Let our City Fathers do likewise
before some one is crippled.

The people of the present day can hear

under the pleasant and most attractive of

here held a meeting in the lovely grove,
and all could come and sit under the
shelter of these beautiful upright trees
so emblcmatic Of some of the characters
of this place. and listen to some impress
sive and eloquent sermons delivered BY
their pastor. The meetings. though inter

The colored people OF Pcarce's Neck
recently held meeting in Mr.. Rowan

meeting WAS to raise money to build a
new church.
MARROW ESCAPE.
An old and respected farmer of one of

POLITICAL.
The Republicans held their primary
meeting last Saturday Though they
were few i'll number. they transacted their
business and returned to their homes in
a manner that was crcditablc to them
selves and the party they represented;
but not so with the conduct of the other
party. who had an abundance of whisky
and their chief delight was to batter and
bruise each others faces. and confess
publicly what little true manhood they
possessed.
THE APPLE ORCHARDS
throughout the neighborhood all yielded
an abundant crop. Owing to the low
prices they are manufactured into the
intoxicating beverage, cider.

Rail Shooting Extraordinary.

Wednesday morning last being tia COM
,nencemert of the season for rail shooting,
our gunncrs were out in force to enjoy the
sport, but owing to the low tide, the number
of birds bacgsd WAS small compared with
the result of the first days shooting Of tho
season year ago, when many hundred
were slaughtered. Mr. Samuel S. Rambo,
of this town, WAS among the sportsinen, and
was doing good execution among h. fcath-
cred inhabitants OF the marsh, but when
reaching too far for u bird which he had
shot, he accidently capsized tho skill he was
in and was submerged in six or seven feet
Of water, AZ was also the negro that pushed
his boat, and all his cunning apparatus.
The way that colorsd individual yelled was
said by those who heard him to have been
ludicerouS and pitiful. Mr. I.ambo retained
his hold on his gun with one hand, and
boldly struck out for the friendly tn socks
which were near by with the other one, but
owing to the excitement incident 10 the oc-
ca.ion had made but few strokes when
one barrel of his gun which was entirely
under water, went off, shatterin. the barrel
and adding to the excitement of the mo-
ment. The friendly tussocks were, however,
soon reached by the unfortunate couple and
they returned to town where ".John " en-

bellied Presbyterian. But conviction
for error of doctrine would not suit the pur-
poses of his prosecutors, for it would very
likely only increase his popularity, as it did
Prof. Swings. They searched for some
thing that would injure his moral character
in the eyes of the public at large, and in his
business transactions with The Christian at
Work they thought they had discovered
what they we're after. The sum and sub
stance of the whole matter was that, after
entering into contract to write for that
paper for two years, ''he struck for higher
wages" SO to speak, and being refused his
demand transferred his labor to rival paper.
It was very unbusiness-like transaction, to
be sure, but there was nothing criminal in it
unless breach of contract can be denominat-
ed as criminal. After weeks of deliberation,
the hearing of testimony and arguments,
pro and coz, which partook more of the
character of wild beast show than of an
assemblage of grave and reverend clergy
men, the charges were not sustained. A
deal of bad blood was displayed, and it would
require microscope of wonderful magnify
ing power to discover where the brotherly
spirit came in. No assemblage of politi-
clans with diverse interests and views was
ever more disorderly or exhibited SO much
bitterness towards each other. Talmage'e
friends we're almost as bad as his enemies
in their denominations, and the whole affair
was disgrace to the name of the Christian
church. We are glad it is over, and though
we are no admirer of Mr.. Talmage, we are
glad it resulted as it did.
