or on the Central Railroad Of New Jer-

Simon Chapman in an old barge at
Chapman's wharf, on the Thames River,
three miles above New London, CT.
When the eel was cut open the lost Cen

duced himself to Mr.. Hibbler, and said
his father still had the key in his posses
sion. Arrangements were made to have
the key returned to Mr.. Bryant at High

A young lady in Sandusky can proba-
bly, boast Of the largest feet in the world
A Detroit gentleman, who was in a shoe
store in that city when the lady left an
order for a pair Of shoes, brought back a
"chart' of the foot which was taken to
secure proper lasts. The young lady is
IT years of age, is Il feet high, and
weighs Ito pounds. There is nothing
remarkable about her except her feet, an
idea of the immensely Of which can be

181 inches around the ball of the foot,
19 inches around the smallest part of
the ankle, 165 inches The feet are not

Petersons' dollar Series. y

In the annals ofmodern book publish
ing nothing has feen accomplished to
approach in excellence and cheapness
the ''Dollar Seriesof Good Books" pub
lished by 7. i. Pferson & Brothers, Of
Philadelphia. Sone of the very best
works in contempoaneous literature have
already been givena. place in the series.
Not only have the ssablishers cullea In
choicest fields for rare works, but they
have enshrinea the worthy works selected
in slightly and durable caskets, and
wisely and praisewort1y they have ig-
nored the catch penny devices of printing
a famous work from worn type or paper
Of wretched quality and then binding it
in Aims7 paper covers. AS a continua-
ton Of this remarkable "DolIar Series"
the Messrs. Peterson have Just issued
"Woman's Wrongs" by Mrs. Elloart
being an entirely true yet graphic discrip-
ton Of the legal wrongs that English
wives and mothers, wed to worthless hus-
bands, are compelled to endure. Since
the days when Charles Dickens wrote in
the prime of his great powers there has
been no such arraignment of the bad
English laws as Mrs. Elloart truthfully
and powerfully pGtrays IN this powerful,
wonderful, and absorbing novel. Other
volumes of the DOLLAR Series are "A

In enlightened commun tiles, and consid-
ering that her elevation has been accom-
Pilshed by her almost unalded efforts le-
spite the protests of man and regardless of
the taunts of her physical and mental in
ferlority, some conception of the nobility
and heroism OF woman may be formed
by her moral and intellectual virtues
She has lifted herself from being the slave
OF man to be the companion and partici-
by maintaining commanding influence
for good, after all the fiery struggles
through which society has reached its
present status she has proven herself to
bs possessed OF the highest elements of
fidelity and constancy, whilst men have
sacrificed each other on the a ar of ambi-
ton, whilst they have waded through
blood TO seat OF power. and have sat upon
thrones with the best attributes OF human
nature withered at their feet, whilst they
have run mad with lust for dominion, and
were rushing headlong over q bleeding
universe. Woman like all angel OF Ii sht
and mercy In the field of destruc ion was
quietly and gently winning her way into
the heart of society.
Aye, she is the very life-eurrent and

A Seal i'm the Susquehanna.

A few weeks ago Mr.. Joseph M. Sim
mons and others saw, near Spesutia Is
land, an animal which they supposed to
be a genuine seal. On Tuesday of last
week the same creature or one like it
was seen by Mr.. Thomas J. Ross, of
Conowingo, lying On a flat rock in the
Susquehanna river, near the Cecil county
end of Conowingo Bridge. Mr.. Ross and
"Noah," a fisherman, started in pursuit
in boat, armed with shot guns. They
approached within 35 yards of the strange
animal, but wishing to examine it more
closely, refrained from firing. The seal
would not permit any closer inspection,
and dived into the water. 1t was shortly
afterwards seen swimming about in the
stream, above the bridge. The next day
Messrs. John Shure aud George Alberts
hunted for it in boat and came up with
it in Jobs Hole, famous and unfath-
omable spot in the river. Mr.. Shure fired
at the seal, from distance of only 10
feet, but the charge of No. 4 shot glanced
harmlessly from its head, and it quietly
slipped into the water. 1t was seen again
Thursday afternoon swimming down the
river, probably disgusted with its recep-
tion in our waters, and on its way to the
sea. 1t is described as an animal about
the size of Newfoundland dog, of dark
gray color, with large head and large
eyes. Those who had a good view of the
creature say it appeared to have been
wounded above one of its eyes, as though
it had been struck with club. In swim
ming the only portion of it visible was
the head.-Ba dir Egis.

DCTOHER AT DANBURY,

The same paper from which the above
article is taken also has the following in
teresting item in its "Danbury Letter :"
The Dutcher-W Watson temperance meet
ing that was to be last week did not come
off. The Democrat says 1t was on &C.
count of family difficulty, which is put
ting 1t mildly. The twain, Mr.. butcher
and Mrs. Watson registered at the Tur-
ner House. They were co-laborers in
the temperance cause and appeared to
be on very familiar terms. While there,
Mrs, butcher, from Delaware, put in
appearance and claimed Mr.. butcher as
her lawful husband who had strayed and
denounced his travelling companion as a
fraud. She made strong appeal to him
in behalf of his sir abandoned children
to forsake "Mrs. Judge Watson" and re-
turn to his domestic loyalty. A scene
followed which is not enacted every day.
Mrs. ID. was mortified with ample proof
Of her husbands unfaithfulness and his
co-laborer's bad character. This knocked
things endwise and Danbury missed two
temperance lectures and an opportunity
to contribute to the support of scoundrel-
ism.

New CASTLE, April 26, 1879.
Jas. II. Callahan, doing a general mer-
chandiZing business on South street,
near the depot, was somewhat surprised,
this morning. on entering his store to
find that the Eighth street window had
been broken into, making hole 12x14
inches, through which three boxes of to-
bacco had been taken together with
various other articles. On looking into
the South street window he found the
glass also broken and over 40 pair of la
dies and gents fine dress shoes, shirts,
hats and caps, corsets and other articles
of like kind taken. The windows
which were broken are 5x3 feet and how
they were broken without awaking the
family Of Mr.. Callahan is strange, ana
goes to show that the parties who did the
work knew what they were about A
pair of shoes were found near the rail-
road switch in Shawtown. The total loss
is not much short ofS200 These robberies
have from all indications been perpetra-

Some of our colered citizens gave a
very interesting entertainment in the

ticipants are deserving of great credit for
manner in which they performed, their
parts. Fully one-third of the audience
was composed of white persons.
Tobacco was found on the railroad
near the freight depot, which shows that
the spoils of the robbery at Callahan's
went towards Wilmington.
