Justice r. Z. c. Dow.s, aged 60, aud
a widowsr, f-eliug his nest At Centre
vile, Md, very desolate, advertised for
a wife. A Baltimore lady, who says
that she is the daughter Of foreign
Consul in that city, answered, and on
Monday they were married. Dewns
was a graduate Of Delaware College Of
about 40 years standing, and was in
town during last Commencement. This
makes the third time for him to take q
partner, and on both previous occasions
under very peculiar circnmstances.--
The union this time was brought about
by his inserting al advertisement in
newspaper, inviting correspondence
with ladies with view to matrimony
During one Of his visits to this town he
exhibited an item clipped from q news
paper published near where he resided
which reported that he was the father
Of "a children. Mr.. Downs is about GO
years Of age and his height is over six
feet.
1t is Haid that upon one Of his visits
here he offered his heart and hand tU a
young lady residing in town, and after.
wards sent her several valuable pres
ents, but her papa evidently wanted
son in law of better character, and the
proposal was not accepted and the pres
ents returned.
Mr.. Downs is a native Of Maryland
and i'd now stopping at the Mansion
House, Baltimore.

Wilmington, April 9Th, 1879

MEssRs. EDIroRs.-I noticed in Sat-
urday's issue Of REPUBLICAN, an item
stating that a widow with two children
were sheltered in the room which st.
Mary's Pioneer corps used as an armory.
1t stated that | was in very dAs.
titute circumstances. | will admit that
l am staying there, and the reason Of it
is that at moving time, l was not able
to hunt myself house, and thought
that it would be better than no place,
and so VIZ agreed with the owner 70
take the room, until such times as va
could better ourselves. 1t is generally
understood by persons that when q
woman 10 left = widow with children II
is hard to raise them, but through the
Kindness Of friends have managed
to get sewingl enough to keep starva
tion from my door, and my children
shall never starve as long as they have
friends. SALLIE S. LORD.

the day the Legislature adjourned and
when the farewells wore being spoken,
the Only member whC was affected by
them was Mr.. Hparn, of Gumborough

so often listened to the eroaking of the
frogs upon his native heath. Wien
the eloquent and touching remarks were
dropping from the lips d Mrssrs. Hall,
Dean, Cochran and Chandler, he sat
and wiped the tears away. 1t was a
touching sight to witness. To see this
old gray-heGded man weeping over the
fact that he never would Witness 2l of

If the constituents OF these modern

when they commenced to pack up the

The first thing done was to ask ii it

same right to them as to the other pro

ed to save those desks and chairs for
the State or die. Then there was a
grab for the spittoons, towels, black
ing brushes, brooms. and anything else
portable. Soon the baskets and boxes
were being taken from the House by
parties, till at 9 o'clock, when the
House met, there was not enough ps-
per, ink, pens, pen holders or postage
stamps left outside Of the Clerks desk,
to write q small resolution upon. This
thing OF taking the State property has
grown till it has assumed large prepor-
