ES-The Bayard family of Delaware has a
somewhat remarkable political record. Thepres-
ent Senator, Thomas Francis Bayard, was elected
to the Senate in 1868, taking his seat on the 4th
of March, 1869, he being the immediate successor
of his father, James A. Bay&rd. who was Senator
fer eight years. The present Senator's grand
father represented the State in like capacity for
thirteen years, and an uncle also member of
the same body for a number of years. They are
descended from an ancient and noble family Of
Dauphine, France, to which belonged the eelebra-
ted Chevalier Bsyard, from whom is derived the
proverbal saying, "Brave as Bayard."

lS~The business of snatching pocketbooks
from unsuspecting ladies in Baltimore is becoming
too common to be interesting, there hardly being
a day but that some such outrage is perpetrated
In every instance so far the thefts have been com
mitted by colored men, and one or two have
already gone to the penitentiary for practicing
their little game 1t would be well for ladies
visiting the city to keep a sharp lookout for such
scamps. The habit of carrying the purse in the
hand is an invitation for them, and ought to be
discontinued.

From what | can learn, the first store in
the place was in the house where Mrs Reed
now keeps. In 1912 John Rutledge and Robert
Fife kept store here in partnership. After them
VIM. Harris a Chester County man, and Clement
Standiford, and finally James w. Reed who died
last summer, and now it is kept by his widow, who

About the year 1862 Edwin Everhart started a

MISS SARAH STAMFORD COMMITS SUICIDE.


Not long after the events related aboveone Miss
Sarah StandfOrd, elderly lady, who lived at the
toll gate house, close by New Market, committed
suicide by hanging herself. She hung hersefon
low, leaning tree, in a swamp, at the bottom of
meadow, now belonging to Joseph a. Ramsay,
near VIM. Fulton's line. and also near Mason &
Dixon's Line, with strips of cloth torn from her
petticoat She walked deliberately on to the tree.
fastened her strip of cloth to q limb and swung
off When found day or woafterwards she was
dead enough, but with her feet on the ground.
Why she committed this act I have notiyet learn
ed. Perhaps it was disappointment in some love
affair that impeed her to do it.
The murder of Andrew Turner occurred a short
time after Miss Standiford committed suicide.
Mr. Turner was brought home on a litter from J.
Eaton's, with his bowels cut open. He lived at
the time in the house now occupied by George
Leitz as hotel. He fingered few days when
death put an end to his suffcrings.
We will now make some remarks about the bust
ness qualities of some of the inhabitants
Within the recollection Of some of the oldest in
habitants there has always been one hotel and one
store, but for number of years there have been
two of each. The hotel occupied by Mrs. Green
at present was built about so or 60 years ago. by
one Jack Walher, who also built the large man
sion lately owned and occupied by DIR. Bell now
owned by Mrs. Duncan. This hotel has been kept
by various landlords ever since Among these
landlords may be mentioned Jerry Smith and Giles
Green. Giles Green died in 1868 and his widow
has kept It ever since. This hotel was always the
leading house. and has always had ample accom-
modations for man and beast. The hotel now
kept by Mr. George Leitz was first started by Geo
Melking and was called the opposition house.
Melking kept it perhaps about 10 years. Attimes
he had his difficulties to contend against. He was
prosecuted and tussled about considerably but he
bore his troubles mantuly He eould neither be
scared off nor chokcd Off During the Rebellion
the - Rebs as he called them threw stones and
sticks at his sign because as he said it had Union
Hotel on it. They splitit and shattered it several
times with their missiles but George always had
it mended, and finally had an iron band put around
it. ''Now, says he, try it again you - Rebs."
Thay also put him to some expense by presenting
him to the Grand Jury for violation of the law,
selling liquor to minors or for selling on Sunday.
But George generally came off clear Sometime
after the war closed he sold out to James Beatty.
The house has had three landlords SINCE James

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving aud polishing, the large proper
ton of the5precieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, aud supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome. and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual Gust of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature,
as folows:-A plate of composition metal,
specially adapted to the purpose, has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is q
strip OF heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres, bezels.
&c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enameliine; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are for sale by all jewellers, and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. If your jew
eler does not keep them, send to HAGsToZ
