PLEASANT HILL, DEL, July "a.
MEssRs. EDITORS The quiet neigh

Hundred, has been in state of excite
ment for some days past. The facts are
these as near as we can get at them -
On Sunday night, the 18th inst, a
young lady at Levi B. Moore's sidence
was awakened by some one in her bed
room. On Mr.. Moore's return home q
short time after search was made of
the house, but no trace of forcible en-
trance could be discovered. Suspicion
rested pretty strongly against oolored
man named Jacob Newman, in Mr..
Moors's employ, who was called up to
help in the search, but who was ap-
pearing to be very fast asleep at the
time.
Matters went on quietly until Sun.
day night, the Goth inst, and while
Mr.. Moore was again away from hon.
some one reused Jacob from his slum-
bers informing him that the cows were

K them out. He dressed went down
stairs and opened the door 10 80 out
and IN doing 50 rope that had been
stretched across just outside the door

by gang Of D en-, handkerchief tied
ov'r his eyes aud mouth, and his hands
secured, rope being quickly slipped
around his neck he was dragged over
thorn hedge to large tree near by

some Of the wiser ones by this time
no doubt thought best to release him,
willie others shouted. hang the d-n

NEW YORK, January 9.-Capt. Bogardus
concluded his attempt to break 5000 glass
balls out of 6,20O this evening at Gilmore's
garden. He was also matched against Abe
Kleinmann, of Chicago, giving him 200
broken balls out of a thousand. Up to
Wednesday night Bogardus broke 5000 balls
without miss, and Kleinmann fired at 400
and missed 6. Tonight Bogardus broke g.
$50 balls without MICS, but his shoulder got
sore and his hand was swollen and tired from
great exertion. He commenced to shoot badly,
and at the end of 5000 shots had missed 13
balls; he broke 5000 balls in 6,073 shots.
Kleinmann then commenced shooting, and
missed seven out of four hundred shots
This with 6 balls missed on Wednes-
day just made a tie between himself and
Bogardus. The feat of breaking 5000 balls
without miss was never before accom-
plished.

only in working harmoniously together can
the rapidly increasing strain on the indus

Secretary Schurz's Answer to She ritlan's
Last Letter.

WAsHINGToN, January 9.-The reply of
Secretary Schurz to General Sheridan is pub
lished. 1t is devoted largely to showing that
inconsistencies and contradictions exist in the
latter's document. He says: II feel war
ranted in saying that General Sheridan, after
an evidently diligent search of the records of
correspondence, has not been able to sustain
his general charge with regard to single one
of the 43 agencies in his department during
the period named in his annual report. 1t
has never been my desire to conceal anything
with regard to the Indian Service. may
justly say that have done all could by call
ing for reports to bring its defects to light.
have not only not repelled hut have invited
information from army officers, and l shall
always be grateful to them for cooperating
with me in this respect, but when in official
documents, vague and sweeping charges of
so vague character, involving a whole
branch of the service are put forth, such
appears in General Sheridan's report, it is my
duty to protect worthy officers under this
department, so that they may not suffer in
the public estimation with the guilty. have
to protect the honor of the department itself.
Earnestly endeavo1ing to elevate the moral
tone and the efficiency of the Indian Service,
/ consider it of the first importance that every
officer in it be inspired with proper self
respect. He must feel that he can maintain
in the public estimation the name of an hon
est man if he deserves it. There are many
men iE the Indian Service as pure, high
minded, and faithful to duty as any officers
of the army. cannot permit them to be in
discrlminately classed with thieves or imbec-
lies without detriment to the honor as we'll as
the efficiency of the service. Nothing can be
further from my intentions than to defend
abuses, or shield guilty or incompetent per-
sons in the employ of the government.

The other day man with satchel called
into ferry dock saloon wherein fifteen or
twenty old salts were lying about their ad-
ventures on the big gh seas, and after warming
his hands at the stove he said to the bar
keeper:
''Sir, l am the agent of a French wine
house, and / should like to sell you few bar
rels of brand now over 100 years old"
The saloonist thought he wouldn't invest,
and the man took pint bottle from his
satchel, held it up to the light, and looking
around on the crowd, remarked:
''Gentlemen this is sample of wine over
100 years old. l have no doubt that you will
al! do me the honor to taste it.
A perfect shower of tobacco quids and
half consumed cigars fell on the big stove.
hearth, and the crowd had its mouth all
ready when the agent scrutinized the bottle
and said:
swell, am mistaken. I left the wine at
the hotel, and brought along my hair invigor-
ater in place of it! Gentlemen, please remain
seated while l go and fetch the old wine.'
At the end of long hour he had not re-
turned, and one of the victims slowly arose
and said:
Gentlemen, you hear me! If meet that
man on the street will kill him and drink
his hair invigorator to the last DROP"
'sSoll Il" shouted all the others, and they
opened their tobacco boxes and went on with
their lying.
