An Old Bible.

We we're yesterday shown a copy Of
the Bible dated 1913, having the i'm
print Of 'Robert Baker, Printer to his
most excellent majesty King James, Lon
dom" The book is dedicated to I" The
Most High and Mighty Prince, James,
by the Grace of God, defender of the
Faith, etc., by the translator of the BIZ
BILE with Grace, Mercie and Peace,
through Jesus Christ our Lord" The
following written on piece of paper
was found in the Bible: "Prince of
Bibles in the year 1874. Small Bibles
neatly written $50, which sum was no
doubt equal to e200 pounds Of our
present money. A good Bible may now
be had for or 4 shillings. It is said
that the building Of two arches Of the
London Bridge cost only eos, which is
95 less than copy OF the Bible was
sold for many years afterwards" The
Bible is the property Of John Black burn,
Delaware county, Pa, and has been in
his possession since 1861. 1t was in
the possession Of the family for many
years previous.

Last evening at the conclusion of the

they were afterward informed, with the
compliments Of Comrade I. M. Lender

Rock RUH, Nov. 10th, 1879.
The fall elections are over and Cecil
Co. is not solid. James A. Davis, Re.
publican is elected clerk Of the Circuit
Court, and James A. Coulson, County
Commissioner. Mr.. Davis has been in
the grain and lumber business in Port
Deposit for number Of years, but hav-
ing been the poor mans friend, remains
comparatively poor himself, and is now
elected by his friends Of both parties to
the best Office in the county for a term
Of six years, by . majority Of 2s9. The
three County Commissioners have the
same jurisdiction as your Levy Court
and Road Commissioners. Mr.. Coulson
is q minority Of one. Some years ago
when the late Jacob Faris, Esq., was q
member Of the Levy Court Of N. C.
county, which then stood six to five,
great respect was paid to his opinion,
and tho late venerable Howard Ogls,
ESQ.,, also . member said Squire Faris
was "the Court" 1t is hoped the same
may be said Of Mr.. Coulson.
The Republicans think they could
carry the State il there was fair regis
tration, but the registration law is per-
verted like your assessment laws, so
that many Republicans on going to
vots find their names omitted from the
poll list.

The weather is pleasant again but
still very dry. The mill streams are

runs part Of the time by steam. In this
Mr.. Fox has the advantage over most
country millers, but it increases . trihe
the cost Of q barrel OF -four, which, con-
sumers say, is already too high for the
rate Of labor, and the farmers say pro-
duce 10 too low for the price Of msr-
ohandize. What next!

the proceedings to be conducted under

pressed unwillingness to give counte-

ding. The charge against Reed, u
read to him by the Squire, was for Is.
sault and battery upon VIM. Robinson,
(white).
To the squirs's query as to whethe,
he was guilty or not guilty, Perry
replied, "Yes sir, did strike him."
VIM Robinson, the prosecutor, was
then called and testified that on Sun
day night, about 1890 O'Clock as he
was passing mp Jackson street, he saw
Reed standing on . doorstep near
Chestnut street, humping at the door
and swearing because the people who
lived in the house would not let him
In. Robinson demonstrated with him,
~ he knew Reed did not live in the
house, and told him It was wrong fol
him to raise q row about peoples doorl
at that hour in the morning. Reed
wanted to know what Robinson had te
do with 1t and after exchanging few
words, the two men INDUCED in = little
rough and tumble in which Robinson
was pretty we'll used up.
The lady who lived in the house at
the door Of which Reed was knocking,
testified that she had heard the knock
ing and her husband had ordered
Reed away, but she did not see the
fight although she heard it.
Reed in his defence stated that he
was asked to knock at the door Of
another man, who ran away as soon ss
he commenced knocking. He also stated
that Robinson had called him black
- before be struck him.
The Squire delivered little lecture
to Reed, and ended by fning him Is
and cost for knocking at the door, and
S3 and cost for the assault.
DIsoRDHBLY CONDUCT AKp RESISTING An
OFFICER.
John Berry, . white man, next orna-
mented the dock, while officer Thomas
took the witness stand. The officer tes-
titled that yesterday, about noon, he re-
ceived information that man was rails
ing ruotion at the Holly Tree Inn, and
upon visiting that locality found Berry
lying on the pavement, apparently very
drunk. Mr.. Hickman, superintendent
Of the Holly Tree Inn, informed the Of
fcer that Berry had been in his estab-
lishment, called for things to eat, and
refused to pay for them after eating.
Officer Thomas lifted the man up of
the pavement, when he apparently
became suddenly sober, and grasped
the officer by the throat, tussel en-
sued, in which the prisoner kick
ed the officer twice in the face. Oficer
Thomas exhibited the side Of his face
which had been manipulated by Berry,
and the space between the chin and the
eye looked a little like the groundwork
Of war map. r
Thos. Mccoy and another witness
testified to Berry purchasing eatables
and refusing to pay for them.
The Squire imposed fine Of five
dollars and costs in the case.

Mr.. Baysrd Mistaken.

Phila. Evening Bulletin"
Senator Bsyard is reported in the
"Reoord" as saying: "a man who
hates one part Of the country is not ut
to be President over all Of 1t. And
yet this qualification is the essential
one for the Republican candidate" :"
Mr.. Bayard Is mistaken. Tho Repub-
licsns in this region do not hate the
South and they do not want to elect
President that does hate II. What
they do hate is lawlessnes, prescription
and persecution and these things
onght to be hated by every American
who loves his country. The average
Democrat seems to be unable to COM
prehend the difference between the two
things; out Mr.. Bayard sitting in Con-
gress which is filed with rebel bligA-
diers who have come back because the
Republican party made such return
possible, certainly understands the mat
ter.

AEw YORK's VOTE.
1 Grand Republican vtctePy in
New YOrk--EvePy 2epublican
State Onlcer but ono Elected.


Dispatches received from the intsri.
or Of the State yesterday do not change
the general result as published in the
New York Times, but they increase the
majority Of Mr.. George G. Hoskins for
Lieutenant Governor to nearly $500.
In the estimate previously made Of the
vote for Mr.. Hoskins, care was taken 10
put all districts where there was any
doubt at the very lowest figures. Yes
tsrday the returns we're fled In the
Offices Of the County Clerks, and from
these 1t was found that in very many
cases the vote was larger than had
been anticipated.
During the afternoon dispatches were
received at the headquarters Of the Re-
publican State Committee stating what
the vote was, and most Of them gave an
increase varying from 80 to 300 and
over on the figures a. published. The
final summing up incrsassd. the fatal ID
the vote on Lieutenant Governor nearly
l 900, making 1t certain that Mr.. Hos
kins is elected. It will thus be seen
that the whole Republican State ticket,
with tho exception Of Mr.. Souls, the
candidate for State Engineer, is elected
by pluralities ranging from $500 to
1900.
There Is scarcely any doubt Of the
election OF every Republican on the
state ticket except Soule. Hoskins,
however, has the smallest plurality;
his election cannot be positively affirm
ed until Delaware, Fulton, Greene,
Lewis, Rensselaer,, Sohoharie and War
rem Counties are heard from officially.
which has not yet been the case. A
slight change in the reported plurali-
ties in those counties might seriously
affect the result.
Later returns do not affect the pro-
liability that the pluralities Of Wendell,
Ward, Carr and Wadsworth will range
from 1000 to 5000.
The "Rvening Journal" says that 1t
has obtained pretty full returns in re-
gard to the officers on the State ticket
below Lieutenant-G Governor. 1t gives
the vote for the other State officers,
giving the exact msjorities on each Off
cor where II has bsen able to get them,
and in other cases placing the MAORI
ties the same as on Lieutenant-Gov-
srnor; though they are almost uniform
ly better. These show General Carr
has about 1000 majority, Mr.. Wendell
about 5000, Mr.. Wadsworth nearly
7 900 and Mr.. Ward over 5000.

The unprecedented droug ht and mild

and streams in the surrounding country.
The mills in neighboring counties being
stopped, farmers in some instances have
bsen compelled to travel forty or fifty
miles to Petersburg to get bread stutts
for their families and have their grain
ground. Some of the railroad compa-
niss have been supplying their tanks
At different stations with water carried
