and ever afterwards it was known as
William Brown. Mr.. Brown believes
that the boy "did not mean to kill Bat

young Browns past character he said
"N ell he has not been very good boy
and he might have been little better"

MANCHESTER, VA, June IN, ~.
At l2.jjA.M.lbe train for v lncbester
left Wilmington ior Baltimore. There
were goodly number on board from
Philadelphia and other points up the
road, forming quite respectable num-
her socially, as well as in point Of num-
bers. 4 few were taken on in Winning n
among them being George W. llumph-
rey City Editor OF the "Every Eve
ming" Melris Taylor, City Editor of
the "Gazette;" Robert O'Byrne, Editor
of the "Moruins herald and Arthur
i. Francis Of the REpCBLICAN.
When the train lett the depot the at
moaphere was heavy and disagreeable
and the darkness as as intense as that
Of limbo. When the city was left in
the rear the occupants Of the cars set
tlrd themselves back for Il few hours
sleep. How much was gotten. may be
conceived Of FROM tine fact that the way
the tran was thuudering along
through the iuky biackucss wasn't il
til. least consoli0g and not the least
hairs that would every now and then
fly up as the train gave Il sudden sWerve
and a ioat!e.

the night, with no light save that shed
by the Gle tming reflector of the locomO-
tive. Quite u different thing and terri
bly, trying to the nervous system.
Baltimore however was reached with
ont accident. Arriving ut Baltimore
few more joined as and the excursion
proceeded on to Washington.
At Washington l40 excursionists got
ahnard and the train started at 40 Il.
III. All along the line at every station
people were taken aboard until the cars
were literally jammed. Two long spe-
cial trains ran ahead of Us also full to
repletiom, On all the connecting
branches special trains were running
all having Winchester for their COM
mon tire.
Upon reaching that place the town
was in one wild pnlsation of excitement.
Military from all sections Of the South
thrOnged the streets and the recesses now
and events being enacted REGAL. vividly
to mind the dayS of the Rebellion,
Confederate is displayed everywhere
and the coorS of the Confederacy are
not only floating in the wind, but
adorn the lapels of coats and ladies
dresses.
Such excitement has not been wit
messed here since that famous advent
of Sheridan in his wild victorious sweep
up. the valley Of the Shenandoah. At
twelve O'Clock the military are forming

KILLED by % PIN,

Sophia Lehrberger, of New York, aged
tWenty-four years, a native ofGermany,
eight months ago incautious!y placed a
pin in her moutl. Soon after she was
taken with a sudden fit Of coughing and
accidentally swallowed the pin. She
became greatly alarmed and at ouc9
sought the advice of the family physi-
clan. Every effort was made to cause
the disIodgment of the pin, but without
avail. She soon experienced severe
pains in the throat, which gradually
extended to the chest and from thence
TO the region of the stomach. She
suffered considerably in health and, as
a consequence, became confirmed in
valid. Her appetite tailed her and she
wasted away until she became emacia-
ted. DR.. Ranney attended her during
her illness, but was unable to do more
than alleviate her suilerings. while
death approached by imperceptible de-
gr4es. The patient sank gradually
until she expired last Tuesday. The
post-mortem revealed that the pin had
passed through the abdominal walls.

A Goose Case,

Arthur Brown of Browntown. West
Wilmington, was arrested on Saturday
evening, charged by Agnes Glynn, for
wantonly and cruelty shooting seven
geese, said geese belonging to her.
There was considerable interest mani
tested in this case, four attorneys of
this city being present. II. Sharpley
and II. Emmons, Esqs., appeared for
the defendant, Deputy States Attorney
Pennington, for the State and Austin
Harrington appeared as counsel for the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. The case was tried before
Squire Brady, and was weilargued by
the Attorneys. The Deputy States At
tornry concluded that the killing Of the
geese by shooting them did not come
under the act of the law against cruelty
to animals,a as it was not what might be
deemed cruelty, aud in Difference to
this opinion, the case was dismissed.
The geese had entered upon the pre-

The last named skiff, the Andrew J.
Cross, came in first and won q set of
sails. The Cross is from Wilmington
The Vixen. from Chester, came in sec
ond and won silver pitcher. There
were only 10 seconds difference between
the Cross and the Vixen. The Annie
NJ. would have come in first and won
the suit of sails had not her mast bro
ken off in the home stretch.
1t is reported that Samuel Fleming
from Salem, who was here and partiei-
pated in the race, was drowned on his
way home.
The chiidren's service at the NJ. Il.
church was very interesting and quite
largely attended. The pulpit was dec-
Grated with flowers, and made quite a
handsome display. From the ceiling
to the lloor, in front Of the pulpit, a
large shield was formed and contained
this beautiful verse: 'Suiler little chill
iren to come unto me, and forbid them
not. for of such is the kingdomot Of God"
The Rev. A. T. Scott from Whining ton
was present and assisted with the
exercises. These exercises are annual
