On the 9th of September, 1879, after brief
illness, of malarial fever, Mt the residence of
Samuel Stump Holloway, Esq, near Darlington,
DR.. WIN. II. STUMP,
in the seventy-tlrst year of hiss age. His remains
were inferred in the Stump burial ground, on the
Deer Creek farm of DR.. David Harlan.
Endowed by Nature with mental qualifications
rather above the common average of men, and they
cultivated by carly education to point far in ad-
vance of many of his fellows, the subject of our
remarks was at all times and in all society con-
spicuous as man of learning. This fact was ap-
parent to ALL even after the brefest interview
But being likewise endowed by Nature with q
greater number of cccentrcities than usually falls
to the lot of man, the good and the usefulness to
learning was fettered and hndered by the natural
vacillations of his will and the peculiar ncongrui-
ty of his mental combinations, over which no con-
troll had been placed within his power. Hence the
results of his learning were neutraliZed, rendered
impracticabc and nugatory in the great business
world.
Possessed naturally of tender and sympathetic
feelings, refined by contact with the best society,"
all his instincts were elevated and honorable. So
delicate and humane were his sensibilties, that he
would step aside from his path to save from harm
the crawling worm. He was truthful and kind
hearted; extremely fond of children, who loved
TO listen to his stories, and was always deeply
panied If circumstances prevented him fulfilling
his business obligations, on caused him to give
trouble in any way to his friends. He was remark
ably fond of ladies' society; yet fate doomed him
to live unmarried. His eccontrcities were of
harmless kind, ana affected himself more than
others.
"Lifes ftful fever" AS our friends life might
truly be called, is now over. He has laid down
his burden amid the scenes of his early years, and
where were enjoyed the chief pleasures of his
later life. He sleeps where the echoes of the hunt
so delighted his spirit in the days of his YOUTH as
they rcsOundcd in the chase over the hills and
down the valleys of his loved Deer Creek.
Sleep swectly, dear friend, all your companions
of the chase in those by gone days have gone be-
fore you! '-. ,-.
80 soon may zoe follow when friendships decay,
And from loves shining circle the gems drop
away" ..r.--r

THE FROST.
Jack showed his face in earnest on the 18th and
Goth of September, biting the corn, much of which
was then standing, the tomato vines, flowers, &C.,
besides seriously injuring the buckwheat crop
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
in this vicinity opened with better attendance
than usual and gave promise of abundant success,
previous to the appearance of the diphtheria,
which decreased the attendance to some extent
at No. O. The teacher of No. Z, Mr.. Davis, is re-
ported to have closed his on Monday last, on ac-
count of 1t. No cases have us yet proved fatal.
POLITICS
have decreased in interest since the Democratic
nominations. Some of the prominent representa-
tiyes of the party in this section severely critcise
their brethren of the Empire State with regard To
their action in the late State Convention ut Sara
toga, prOphesying the defeat of the party in that
State because of the division. They argue that IL
Republican victory in the GubernatOrial campaign
means Conkling for the next President.
THE ROADS
have all been placed in good repair and in the alb
scnce of heavy rains would now be in splendid
condition, if the L0Ose stones removed. o, for

stroyers of happiness to the traveller removed

THE DEMOCRATIC MEETING ON Tuesday was
largely composed of the representative men of
the county, and included not only Democrats
but also sprinkling of Republicans The
speakers were listened to with marked atten-
tion and were frequently interrupted by applause
The speech of Col. L. Victor Baughman was ell
oquent, forcible and interesting and the people
of Hartford would be glad to hear him again.
Mr.. Heating dwelt at length upon the ways and
means by which so much of the property In the
State escapes taxation, and insisted that the
burdens of taxation should be equalized, by
seeking out and taxing the hidden wealth of the
State as well as that which can not be concealed.
His remarks were sensible, practical and true,
and his suggestions valuable. Mr.. Hamilton, of
course, was the centre of attraction He is rather
above the medium height, robust, with ruddy,
pleasant face, and the picture of stout, hearty
farmer, with whom, the world has gone well,
rather than ckeen, sagacious lawyer that he also
is. His face denotes energy, power, will and hon
esty of purpose. His style of speaking is bold,
clear and logical, his arguments being driven
home as with sledge-hammer. He pledged
himself and associates on the State ticket un-
mistakably to the cause of reform and reduction
of taxation, and of his earnestness and sincerity
there cna be no doubt.
The Hopewel band, led by Bonfcld Gorrell,
played enlvcning music at intervals during the
afternoon.
Altogether the meeting was great success,
and the speakers made on impression the results
of which will be seen upon election day.

Political Notes.

The Democrats of ST. Mary's county will
hold their primary meetings on Saturday,
October 4th, upon the Crawford county plan,
which was adopted by an advisory convention
on 9TH Of August.
"A New York correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gasette QRep.) says: '.
"Thc Republican policy is not to place too
much hope in success, owing to the desertion
Of John Kelly from the Democratic Conven-
ton, John Kelly is anoted failure as politi-
cal prophet. He has committed the worst
error of his life, as his most intimate friends
well know and confess. Lieut.. Gov. Dor
sheimer was politically dead at the time and
sore, or he never would have followed John
Kelly out of Democratic Convention
Eristus Brooks was too wise to do So II is
100 early TO make predictions, but wise and
astute politicians on both sides express the
opinion that Mr.. Kelly will not receive as
many as $1,000 votes for Governor on cleo
ton day 1t is all game of bluff and brag
On Kelly's part. He wishes to save himself
and friends in the local politics of this city,
but it is doubtful that he can do So" ~

The Democratic Nominees on Retrench-
..... ment and Reform.

Resoi0ed, BY us, the nominees of the Democratic
Conservative party of Hartford county, That we
thoroughly approve and give our best efforts to
carrying out the platform adopted by our party in
the last State convention assembled particularly
the second and third resolutions thereof which are
in these words:
second. It will be the duty of the next General
Assembly to tighten the burden of taxation in this
State by abolishing all offices not necessary for the
public service; by reducing all salaries and fees
subject to its CONTROL to the limit of the compcn-
satiOn of persons engaged in similar employment
in private life; by compelling the practice OF econ
omy in every detail of State county and municipal
expenditures, and by enforcing the observance of
the constitutional rule that every person in the
State or person holding property therein ought to
contribute his proportion of public taxes for the
supporter the government according tn his actual
worth in real or personal property.
Third. Public offices were not created for the
benefit of individuals, nor for the purpose of re-
wardng political services, but were intended sole
ly for the public advantage. The pcrvelsion of
their use TO any other purpose is injurious to good
morals and good government"

BEET SUGAR CuLTURE.-The analysis of
bects grown in Hartford county, which was made
in Philadelphia recently, by Prof. Stephen Wal
lace, at the instance of Mr.. r. B. Mccoy, Prcsi-
dent of the Hartford County Sugar Beet Associa
ton, showed that the average per cent. of sugar
in % lots-four of which were from Hartford
county and the rest from Delaware-was 544
The highest per centagc was SAG and the low
est $50. OF the four Hartford county lots the
highest was 769 and the lowest 512. The IIar-
ford county bects therefore stood remarkably
well in comparison with the whole number an
alyzed. One of the Hartford county lots showed
70l per cent. of sugar, and was the third on the
entire list, the sample Analysing 7.60 being the
second.
Mr. Lea Pussy, of Wilmington, through whom
the analysis was made, says in his report there
of:
eve consider that these tests are very salts
factory for this time of the year and if the rest
of the season is favorable expect the PERCENTAGE
to double, nearly, at the end of the season."
