An Interesting Affair.

The Sunday schools connected with
st. Johns Episcopal Church, gave their
usual Whit Sunday offerings in the
church yesterday afternoon at four o.
clock. The children Assem- bled in the
Sunday school room and proceeded into
the church according to their different
classes. The church was handsomely
decorated with flowers for the occasion.
After the first part of the evening ser
vice had beeu gone through with, the
rector Rev. Z. Gardiner Litteil called
each class in rotation and each present

Among the many embles was helmet

breast plate of righteousness, harp,
anchor and large cross made OF white

the front making the letters L. II. s.
After receiving these emblems, the pas
tor made short address congratulating
the teachers and scholars on the success
of the school for the past year, stating
that IL had increased seventy scholars
and he also felt highly gratfied at the
untiring energy and perseverance OF the

The Peach Crop.

Since our last we have been through
the Peninsula specially to inquire, see
for ourselves and learn what the present
prospect Is, and we are satisfied that we
shall have quite as many peaches as can
be profitably handled; provided no fur
ther accidents happen to them. From
about Camden down there will be pref
ty full crop, except upon some of the
cold clay soils next the bay shore.
From the same point North the promise
gradually declines until in the vicinity
of Middletown and above there will be
from one-eighth to one third of a crop.
West of Middletown and in Sassafras
Neck the crop is almost entirely destroy
ed. Lower down the Maryland side OF
the Peninsula the prospect improves UNI
til it grows to be full crop from opposite
SMYRNA down to the end of the peach
belt. Through this section the trees are
full enough, and such also, is the case
below here and throughout Sussex
Milford now claims to be the centre Of
the peach belt for 1870. Middletown
will not supply this year one-fourth Of
her usual quantity, while Smyrna, with
| a good sprinkle of fruit, cannot have
more than half full crop and Dover pro
badly almost the same. People desiring
to strike the best and surest peach-grow-
ing section had better hereafter settle in
and around Milford.-Ne,cs.

Railway Suit Decided.

THE MARKET STREET (HHILADELPHIA)
RAILWAY HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE OVER ISSUE OF STOCK BY ITS
PRESIDENT.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 30, 1872
The report of David w. Sellers, the
master appointed by the Court of Com
mon Pleas in the suits of Swain ct al. VS..
The West Philadelphia Passenger Rail
way Company, and the West Philadel-
phia Passenger Railway Company vs.
sundry defendants, has just been COM
pleted and will be filed on the 9Th of
June next. The report is important in
asmuch as it establishes the liability of
the Market Street Railway Company in
the matter of tine over issue of stock set
afloat by John S. Morton, late president
of that road, and for which ofiense he Is
now serving out sentence of ten years
Imprisonment. The report shows by
whom, the over issue is held, and that the
aggregate amount advanced upon it is
about $l,000,000. 1t states that of the
amount of authorized shares of the COM
pany, 500 were duly issued in obedience
to the charter. These shares were worth
S16O each before he..ofiicer's misdemean-
| Ut Ill tIlt oNCI loSuC vas hhOWhs
fore the inherent value of the corporate
property and franchises to the share
holders is $1,2S0,000. But the master
finds that the holder is only entitled to a
decree for the inherent value of each
share, as the same is affected by the total
issue, valid and invalid, which repre-
sents a claim against the corporation.
The total amount of valid shares being
certified as 5000, and the over issue be-
ing 9,207, making an aggregate of 17,2O7
shares, and the value of the corporate
property being $1,2s0,O0O, the master
finds that each share, regular and irregu-
lar, has value of STA and fraction.
The charter of the company authorizes
only 10000 shares, but an act of the AS
sembly authorizing corporations to in
crease their capital stock permits il to be
increased fifty per cent, which will leave
only 2,2O7 shares short of the number to
be met. Following the report is the de-
cree ordering the company to pay to the
various holders the sum of $72 on each
share of stock held by them, with inter
est from the maturity of the debt fol
which the same is held.

ANOTHER CURIOUS CASE COMES TO
Lolita DARKY WHO VOICED, WON
AND BURIED TWO WHITE WOMEN.
RICHMOND, May 30, 1879.
The recent decision OF Judges Hughes
In the United States Circuit Court, which
sus, aimed the Virginia statute forbidding
the marriage Of persons of different races
Is having most disastrous effect ON mis-
cegenating darxies in the Old Dominion.
To-day another and most singular case
came to light from Cumberland county.
The facts, as related, are that X. I. COle-
man (colored), now aged about forty,
# sident Of that county, soon after the
adoption OF the fifteenth amendment and
the passage Of the Civil Rights bill, turn
ed his back on all the dusky bellies OF his
acquaintance and aspired to the hand OF
a female of the white race. His suit was
successful and they were quietly married
in Washington. They returned to Cum
berlanc and lived happily ard unmolest-
ed until ABOUT two years ago, when the
wife died suddenly and rather myster-
lousy. Coleman was q marrying man,
but having been united to white woman
considered IL beneath his dignity to take
unto him one Of his own race for better
or for worse. He again wooed and won
another white female, twenty-seven years
old, again repaired to Washington, and
OH the 3lst Of May 1873, was married to
bis second spouse.
DISTURBING ELEMENT ARISES.
The pair returned to Cumberland,
where they resided very costly and 30.
renely until the decision In the McKin-
ney case broke upon their welded bliss
like thunder clap from cloudless sky.
They were Jointly indicted, aud were to
have been tried in The County Court Of
Cum berland on the 26th inst, for mar
ryiug contrary to the laws of Virginia,
which is u felony punishable by inpr,s.
onment In The penitenuafy for period
not less than Two nor more than ten
years. Coleman and the woman were ter
rnr stricken at the prospect OF serving
lengthy period In The State Prison, but
in the case of the woman death inter.
posed. She died suddenly on the 25th
inst, the day before that set for the trial.
Some people in the neighborhood think
that the great mental excitement Conse-
quent upon the arraignment for viola
ting the law was the cause Of her death,
but others are inclired to the opinion
that Coleman poisoned his wife in the
vain hope of evading the penalty OF the
law himself. The latter opinion Is SO

A PARTING SHOT FROM JOHN CULLEN
BRYANT.


For the Gazette.
While perusing the columns OF your
paper, published May 10th inst, my ~
tention was attracted by an article headed
"Bryant and Thanatopsis." The lam
guage was both insulting and threatening,
reading thus, "Mr. butcher aud Mrs.
Watson are going to defend s. s. Hall
against Mr.. Bryant, and are admonished
that If all the reports are true, MIR. b.
will very soon realize the full meaning
of sThanatopsis.' know full well the
nature of ali the reports, and ! also know
the character of the creatures that circu-
lated the same. Any man who will de-
nominate his own mother as liar and
accuse her of defaming her own children,
will require stronger defenders than g.
NJ. butcher and Mrs. Judge Watson
seem to be. a.M tlt..
desire no stronger proof in refuta-
ton of the many slanderous sentiments
and the scurillous letters this man has
written against me-than those fur-
nished by his own pen. And e pro-
missed not to go outside OF Mr.. DIS family
to convict-whether do 60 outside to
acquit many and prove my innocence
the inconsistency between these glow
ing tributes to my name-compared with
his recent onslaught-will only tend to
exalt Mr.. Bryant and abase his defamer.
