Another Land Claim.

Another land claim similar to the "Tippet
tract at Clayton is being made that if success
full will pass into the hands of the VanWinkle
heirs the whole of "Dutch Neck" between
this town and the Bay. The history of the
claim is as follows: Jonas Van Wrinkle, who
owned this tract, died nearly 100 years ago
leaving will entailing it to his heirs. He left
three sons, John, Josiah and Jacob The
latter died without heirs and the history of the
other two brothers is not known, except that
few years later there was only one repre-
sentative of the family in this section, Benja-
min all traces Of the others being lost. Benja-
min was left at three years of age parentless,
and while in his helpless childhood it is
claimed was robbed Of his property, and never
made an effort TO regain it ON arriving at man.

| left six children, one son and five daughters
who are uniting in an effort to regain the lost
estate. They are as follows: James Van
| WinkIe Mrs. Samuel Patterson, Mrs. John
! Mattiford, Mrs. Brumwell Ford, Mrs Wesley
! Carrow and Mrs. James Carrow.

eleven farms, and among the present possessori

The Health.

1t was predicted by some, and the indica-
Autumn, but the facts so far do not bear out
the prediction. To this date the affections
arising from Malarial influences are less than
usual. In conversation a few days ago with
member of the manufacturing house in
of quinine manufacture we were told that the
demand for that product has been less this
year than for a long time. The great Objec-
ton to this certain antidote for malarial
diseases has been the high price, but this is
being g SPyPSd S5 not Ga5y Ry the The Tang Of
few manufacturers, but by new and less ex-
pensive preparations. Cinchonidia, which has
| four ffths the strength of quinine and only a
| little over one third the cost has almost sup
planted the latter in its use in febrile diseases.
| There is still another preparation, Quinidea,
but it is much less used than the above.

THE New JURY LAVAL the extra session of Con-
gress the Democrats did a good thing in changing
the law for selecting the urymen for the L. s. Courts
so that both parties be represented in the Panel
instead of the jury being made up from tho Republi
can party, as was formerly the In accordance
with this act passed June S0th. Judge Bradford on
Friday appointed Henry r. DUPONT, Esq, of Will
mington Democratic commissioners for the District
of Delaware. By the provisions Of the Act the COM
missioner and the clerk Of the Court each drop q
name alternately in the box from their respective
parties number o9O0 from which the jurymen are
drawn. By this mode neither party can complain of
improper political influence by the other And the
action Of Congress might well be initiated by our
Legislature in regard to our county courts. They
need fully as much fixing up the U. S. Courts and
as managed the past twenty years have been mani.
festly partizan. And the same principal might be
carried down to Levy Courts if there is desire
for justice and fair dealing.

THE ATTORNEY GENERALsHIP-The Philadelphia

Fine Fruit.

The greatest peculiarly of the peach is the
mystery attending its habits, growth, &c, viz:
why an orchard OH one side of road may
be roping full, and the one on the other side
entirely bare and i'll the same general quality
of land one farmer may have very superior
and the other very poor fruit. This is strikingly
manifested in the case of d. James Price, who
ships by odds the finest fruit sent from Bren-
ford Station. Mr.. Prices farm, or rather his
father Moses Price, is just on the South side of
Hoffecker's mill pond and for the last twenty
years has been noted for its good fruit, and
quite as much so as a successful bearer always
having fruit if there was any anywhere in the
country. Mr.. Prices neighbors do not under
stand why this farm should produce better
fruit than theirs, while they admit the fact
One feature of the fruit selling so well is the
fact that the fruit is year in and year out care
fully handled-no inferior or imperfect being
| allowed to go in. In the midst of the ''glut'
that sent down the prices, his held up through
out, the brand sold them. 1t is said that Mr..
Prices fruit will net him rs cents per basket,
while the average will be only about 40 cents.

State Fair.

The State Fair at Dover is now less than a
week off and every indication leads to the ex-
pectation of most successful exhibition. We
do not hear so many notes of preparation as
last year, but that may arise from the fact that
then it was newer thing and consequently
more of a novelty AS the most attention has
been given by the Directors in the preparations
for the races, much the larger part of the
interest of the visitors will centre on this de-
partment. 1t is stated that there are 80 entries
of race horses some of them of fine speed.
The display of fancy work, and also cereals
and stock was very creditable last year, and
there is no reason why it should not be as good
or better this year. The railroad company
have built a platform at the grounds for the
accommodation of the visitors 200 feet long.
A grand Tournament for which 30 horsemen
have entered will be one of the features for the
amusement of the spectators

Wilmington and the various stations on the
Delaware Railroad down. and from Harring-
ton up; Chestertown, Md; Easton, Md, ; and

will consist of vocal and instrumental music
and public addresses. The speakers as an
nounced are Revs. 7. H. johnson, T. Burton
and VIM. Perkins, Esq. In the evening Rev.
VIM. F. Butler, ID. D., of Wilmington, will

A Remarkable Matrim OniaI Career.

Benjamin Abbott, one of our old citizens,
died in this town Saturday last in the 80 year
of his age. He was a remarkably quiet and
inoffensive citizen. He was a nephew Of the
celebrated Rev. Benjamin Abbott, the great
Methodist revivalist of the early part of this
century and came to this State from New
Jersey when young man and settled in the
Neck" east of this town, where his active
life was mostly spent But the notable feature
in Mr.. Abbotts otherwise uneventful life is
the remarkable fact of being the seuenth hus-
band of his widow, who survives him. This
much talked of and much published event
(for it went the rounds of the press of the
natiOn) when he for the second, and she for
the seventh time bowed before ne altar of
Hymen occurred on June Both, 1875, he then
being 78 and she 81 years old. Mrs. Abbott s
history in the marital relations of life stands
perhaps without a parallel in the records of the
nation, and the wonder is where that secret
power was hidden, in what charm it was en-
cased, that gave her such power over Cupid
as 10 cause him to speed an unerring dart
whenever the services of the presiding genius
of Love was invoked. All efforts to analize
her character by the usual rules that give a
| charm to female conquests are utterly batfied.
| 1t is not in beauty nor poetry, beguiling ways
nor siren songs, and if it is past divination,
/ the fact nevertheless remains, she has been
successful beyond the most amiable, gently
and artful of her sex; and if it gives her any
| Measure land we presume it does) she has the
elevated modern pinnacle of female charmers
But It stops not here. Tradition has it there
Is to be yet another 1t is currently stated
without contradiction that some years ago she
had q vision in which eight men stood before
her in peculiarly impressive manner which
she has ever regarded as prophetic of thu
number of conquests she was to lead to thu
sacred shrine. The eight is just as likely anC
as reasonable as the seventh, and already
public gossip is beginning to mark this anS

Am Unsuccessful Trip.

The excursion Of the colored people last
Friday to Baltimore, was not success fnan-
cially. Mr.. Gerker of the Kent County road
was to convey them by rail to Chestertown
and secure boat passage from thence to Balti-
more which he did by verbal contract with
the captain of the steamer Matilda. The
latter would not start until the charter money
for the trip was paid in advance, and once
started he would not stop at any landing to
take on passengers notwithstanding the pro-
testations of Messrs. Gerker and Fleming of
the railroad, the contracting parties At one
landing there were as many, it is stated, as 100
persons awaiting the boat, which steamed on
regardless of the crowd. This conduct of the
captain caused the excursion to be loss in
stead of profit to the getters up in this town.
At the direction of Mr.. Gerker, Charles Potts,
on behalf of the committee, was about to in
stitute legal proceedings, when the captain
''came down the tree and offered them $25 if
they would desist going to law: but finally in
consideration of the trouble and expense it
would be, the committee decided to cOmpro-
mise on $50, and so it was settled But after
ALL the irascible captain made them leave
Baltimore two hours before the advertised
| time.
