AiteunDted Suicide.

Emery J. Clark, of Middletown, at
tempted to commit suicide on Friday
morning by cutting his throat with q
razor and cutting cash in one of his
arms. The "Transcript' says his con
dition was first discovered by his wife,
who immed lately gave the alarm. Med
ical aid was at once procured and the
wounds dressed. Mr.. Clark was for.
merly engaged in farming near Milling
ton, Md, and was obliged to discon
tinue on account Of failing health his
affliction being spine disease, from
which he has been confined to his home
nearly the whole ofthe time he has
been a resident of Middletown. Nc
cause is assigned for the act eXceep'
depression Of spirits caused by falling
health. The wounds which he inflicted
upon himself, though severe, are not
necessarily fatal.

,he Law az to stolen Horses.

We are asked, says the Philadelphia
"Ledger," ," if "a" discovers his horse,
which has been stolen from him, in the
hands of "B." who purchased the ami
nal from the thief, believing him to be
the owner, and thinking that he was
making legitimate purch can ga, y
on proving ownership, cause "B" to
surrender the horse without repaying
him the amount he paid the thief ? The
answer is, only cash and negotiable Sc
curties pass title by transfer of posses
sion the fee of other property remains
with the owner, and he can compel its
surrender wherever he can trace it. The
purchaser takes color of title at his own
risk, and if he cannot recover of the
thief losses his investment.

A singular story comes from the Maine
State prison. James A. Lowell was con-
victed in 1873, at Lewiston, ofthe MUIR
der of his wife, Lizzie, whose skeleton
was found in the woods. Lowell was
sentenced to be hanged, but the SEN
tence was COMMITTED 10 imprisonment for
life. 1t is now ascertaned that Mrs.
Lowell is living at Saginaw, Mich, as
the wife of man named Spalding, and
that she does not deny her indentity.
Lowell, when on trial, had claimed
that his wife ran away with the en-
ployee ola circus. Should it be sus'
taincd by legal evidence that the WON.
an in Saginaw is the wife for the alleged
killing Of whom Lowell was sentenced
to be hanged, the case will prove to be
one of interest in criminal annals.

A correspondent from Milton to the

Our ship builders have several large
vessels in course of construction
Black Bros. have al 500 ton three mas,
ted Schooner on the stocks for Captain
Wood. D. II. Atkins is also construc
ting a barque OF 500 tons; for Captain
Walls, aud G. c. Davidson is building
a small schooner for C. J. Carey &
Son of that place. She will trade out
of this creek. Mr.. A. will soon com
mence to build three masted schooner
for Captain Pennewell, that will be OF
700 tons burden. So our mechanics
have plenty Of work TO occupy their
time. Milton has twelve packets run
ming regularly out of the creek, the
frcights out consist of wood, grain, pi
ling and miscellaneous merchandise
We ask of our neighboring towns (not
in bragadocia but in friendly spir'
it) if they can look to their creek craft
or pocket lines, and making SO goodly

President Lincoln.

A striking incident in Mr.. Lincoln's
official life is related by Judge Brom
we'll, of Denver, who visited ths White
House March, 1865. Mr.. SeTard and
several other gentlemen were also pres.
ent, and the President gradually came
to talk on decisions of life and death.
All other matters submitted to him, he
declared, were nothing in comparison
to these, aud he .sdded 81 reckon
there never was man raised in the
country on farm, where they are al.
ways butchereng cattle and hogs and
think nothing of it, that ever grew up
with such An aversion for bloodshed as
have; and yet Eve had more questions
of life and death to settle than all the
men who ever sat in the chair put to-
gether. But I've managed to get along
and do my duty, as believe, and still
save most of them; and there's no man
knows the distress of my mind. But
there have been some of them | could
not save-thtrr are some cases where
the law must be executed. There that
man--. who was sentenced for piracy
and slave trading on the high Seas.
That was case where there must BE-
all example, and you don't know how
they followed and pressed to get him
pardoneG, or his sentence committed; !;
but there was no use of talking. 1t
had to be done; couldn't help him;
and then there was that -, VINO was
caught spying and recruiting within
Popcs' lines in Missouri. That was an
other case. They besieged me day and
night, but | couldn't give way. We
had come to a point where something
must be done that would put stop to
such work. And then there was the
case Of Beal, on the lakes. That was
a case where there must be an exam
pie. They tried me every way. They
wouldn't give up but had to stand
firm on that, and even had to turn
away his poor sister when she came
and begged for his life and let him be
executed, and he was executed, and |
can t get the distress out of my mind
yet" As the kindly man uttered these
words the tears ran down his checks,
and the eyes Of the men surrounding
him moistened in sympathy. There was,
profound silence in which they rose to
depart. Three weeks after the Presl'
dent was killed.

Rookland was enlivened' by straw
berry and ice cream picnic festival on
the 23d and Oath .instants, protected
and perfected ny the ladies, for the
benefit Of Mt. Lebanon M. Il. church,
which is under the ministration Of Rev.
W. Avery. The several tables for re-
freshments were adorned by beautiful
and fragrant flowers, and rendered
most attractive by the presence, beauty
and lively conversation Of the ladies in
attendance, among whom were the
Misses Husbands, Smith, Cloud, Jones,
Buckle and others. AT the "well' stood
the fair "Rebekah" with her pitcher,
ready to draw, that to whonsoever
came to her saying "Let me drink, "
she might say "drink." The young
damsel with auburn hair, who presided
at the wash bowl, was, the recipient OF
a gay bouquet, at the hands of 'gal-
lant,' .".
Several persons from Wilmington
were among the visitors, and appeared
to enjoy the rural treat. A tent was
erected for protsetion i'll the event of a
shower, but no such thing occurring,
"the tent was allowed to be taken
down." ~ After outdoor recreation
many repaired to the church, where
sweet music was discourssd by the
church organ. After the separation,
the fragments and refuse were cleared
away, the Sunday School room cleaned
up, and matters in general set in order,
by two "Irishmen," to the entire salts
faction Of all interested. The affair,
BESIDES giving much pleasure, resulted
in net profit of about one hundred
dollars.
The Commissioners of the Public

The Milford "Chronicle states that
reports from various parts of the Pen.

injury to berries in this section, and
we presume this has been the case in

The Decline OF the Trade ON the
Clysse


The London -" Pail Mall Gazette /"
says: the decline of the Clyde ship
building trade is naturally exciting
much interest in the district. How
great the decline is may be shown very
briefly from statistics collected by the
Glasgow e." Herald.' In 1874 the
steam tonnage built on the Clyd.
amounted to 1873, l44 tons. the sailing
tonnage to 60, l66, or to 252,3i0 tons
in all, being A per cent. of the steam
tonnage built in the whole United King
dom, and 80! per cent. of the sailing
tonnage, or 43 per cent. of the whole.
In the same year the east coast-that
is, Sunderland, Newcastle, Shields,
Hartlepool, Stockton, Middlesborough, ,
Hull and Whithy-produced AZ par
cent. OF the steam and 33 per cent. Of
the sailing tonnage, or 39ll per cent. of
the whole. The Clyde WAS thus lit
tie ahead of the east coast, but less 50
in steamers than in sailing vessels.
Last year on the contrary, the Clyde
turned ont only 13l 443 steam tons and
56,67S sailing tons while the total
tonnage built in the United Kingdom
was per cent. greater than in 1874.
That is to say, the Clyde ports con-
structed 26a per CEN. of the steam tom
mage against 81 per cent. constructed
on the east coast, and 3Saa per cent. OF
the sailing tonnage against 49, per
cent. on the east coast or a total Of 2?
per cent. against 81 PEI cent, on the
east coast. Apparently, therefore, the
Clyde is losing the steamship building.
1t should be stated, however, that III
the period We are here dealing with
there was a great increase in the steam
shipping owned on the east coast, while
there was a great decrease in the orders
from London, Liverpool and abroad.

A special despatch from Washington
to the N. Y. "World" says:
The joint csucus committee did not
meet today, it having been de,ermin
ed to go into session to morrow morning
at l o'clock and net to adjourn until
programme had been final. y arrang.
ed. A good deal Of feeling is manifest.
ed against Fernando Wood, who has
abandoned his followers to go to Europe.
He was one of the original movers in
this struggle, and has been among the
foremost of those who have declared
that they will never pass any aIpro-
priation bills until the President shall
yield and sign the repeal bills. He
was the author Of the resolution to ad
ieurn on the 10th of June and refused
as chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee, to entertain an amend
ment providing that the adjournment
should be voted only In the event that
appropriation bills were passed. He
was SO outspoken and violent in his
denunciations Of the president and in
sisted SO strongly that the Democrats
should refuse the appropriations and
stay here all summer to fight it out
that some Of the shrewder leaders began
to suspect his sincerity some weeks ago.
Now, when the time comes for him to
stand by his words, he has run off to
Europe and left the men whom he led
into their present attitude to fight it
out alone. The consequence is loud
and frequently expressed objurgations
against Speaker Randall's next friend.
The truth Is that Mr.. Wood proba
bly, saw that he and his uncompromising
friends were in small minority, which
was growing smaller every day, and
concluded to get out of the way Of i'm
pending defeat. II has never been the
intention of the men who really con-
troll the Democratic majority in Con.
gress to refuse to pass the appropria-
ton bills, as has been pointed out in
The World again and again.
