MOSQUITOES.

HOW THEY ARE RAvAGING THE PEN
INsULA REsoRT,-A FABULOUS
STORY.
Quite furore has recently been raised
over the ravages of those aggravating lit
tie pests, mosquitoes, at Rehoo Doth,
Ocean City, and generally throughout
the lower Peninsula. But to the "funny-
grapher" Of the Philadelphia Iimes is
reserved the glory of working up the
mosquito business to the highest point
OF sensationalism, and eclipsing all the
mosquito yarns that have yet been told.
He says:
"Tbere is q plague Of mosquitoes in
the lower Peninsula. Smokes or smok-
ers are built every evening. but the mos
quitoes, hitherto fearful Of such things,
now gambol about them with delight.
Workmen on the wharves at Cambridge
were forced by them to stop work until
after 10 o'clock the other morning.
They have been very troublesome at
Ocean City and Rehoboth, and have
caused sort of exodus from those re-
sorts. 1t is reported that dense flock
of a billion or SO got together at Delmar
the other day and pried up the lower
end Of Delaware, using their bills as
levers. Being sent down to investigate
the story Secretary Grubb was picked
up by the coat tails and summarily
tossed through the air back to Dover"
1t is an undeniable fact that the mus
quitoes have been unusually numerous
and blood-thirsty, this season, aud hav
even invaded the precincts of Ocean City
a place heretofore comparately free from
their ravages. But the idea of a billion
or SO of mosquitoes perpetrating such ar
indignity upon the ex-Secre'ar ary, is tot
unworthy of an instant's credence. AT
ter Drawing the ire of the Jersey shad
fishers for four years, the ex-Secretary
would hardly submit to be tossed forty
or fifty miles by a few miserable mos.
quitoes. The yarn is extremely trans
parent and it won't go down.

FIFTH EDITION.
For the Delaware Gazette,

l suppose the new Court House pro-
lect Is now settled. The first PROPOSE
tion before the Legislature was for one
hundred thousand dollars Wilmington
economical on that by proposing seventy
thousand the Levy Court went round
and seen plans of court house palaces
with French plate glass, fine marble,
nne hardware, and everything to match
to make first-class palace court house.
All the proposals overshot the allowance
by several thousand dollars. The Levy
Court, after consulting their attorney,
Mr.. Gray, had to call a halt and pare
down SO as not to exceed the sum stated
in the act Of the Legislature. Another
set OF proposals was handed in, all but
one or two under the seventy thousand
dollars, and the award, the papers state,
was made to Archibald Given.
No better or more deserving man could
have been selected. He worked hard and
faithful at Dover last winter Tor the bill,
and as there had to be built . Court
house, am glad he of all others was
awarded the job. This settles the Court
housa chapter. Now, the next chapter
should be opened at once and never falter
let come what may, until two counties
are made out Of New Castle county.
Wilmington the capital of one county,
and New Castle Of the other. Each
county to have the same representation
in the Legislature, as Kent or Sussex. In
other words, four counties with each the
same number Of Senators and Represen-
tatives in the Legislature. The people OF
New Csstle county should stand firm in
this demand, and let Kent and Sussex
know plainly that this county would no
longer stand the bondage inflicted on her
by the two lower counties. Equal rights
and equal tax alton should be our motto.

A NOVEL ABDUCTION.
A WILMINGTON LADY CHARGED WITH
ABDUCTING HER OWN CHILD.

A WILMINGTON LADY CHARGED WITH
ABDUCTING HER OWN CHILD.
A novel abduction and assault case
that occurred in Georgetawn, last week,
Is thus reported by the Inquirer: ~
Mrs. Margaret Kroner, now of Will
mington, was formerly the wife of John
Maxwell, of Georgetown, and by him
had two or more children. One of these,
Annie, a girl Of about IL, has been liv-
ing with Miss Mary Cullen, and last
week her father, as was his right by law,
bound her to the lady with whom she
lived without regard to the wishes of the
child's mother, who was strongly oppos-
ell to such course and wanted to lake
1t to Wilmington and rai.e It herself.
Here the law dictated one thing and a
mothers love for her offspring another.
The result was the two clashed, as will
now appear: Mrs. Kroner came from
Wilmington and on Saturday evening
walked around toward the child's home.
The child was in front of the house and
the mother led IL away. As she turned
the alley skirting the Eagle hrtel stables
she was overtaken by Nathaniel p. Har-
ris who tried to rescue the It'll thing by
CIOhliiS ibo hhothCt uuLll, IL ID dlepcu,
her tongue Tapped over her lips and ~ G.
balls bulged beyond their sockets. The
mother held her charge tightly until JOS
eph II. Chapman and George Wilson
arrived and released her from the vise-
like grasp of her assailant. The woman
got away with her child and then follow
ed some dramatic incidents and legal
squabbles.
Esquire Thompson issued a warrant
for Mrs. Kromer's arrest, but as that lady
and female friend armed themselves
with gun and an Ak, the Constable was
afraid to serve the warrant. Finally the
ladies surrendered and proceeded to the
Esquire's Office, where Mrs. KRONER was
held in $500 bail for her appearance al
Court, on the charge of abduction.
Mrs. Kroner then preferred a charge
Of assault and battery against N. P. Har-
ris, who was fined twenty-five cents and
costs. Mrs. Kroner returned to Will
mington, on Monday, accompanied by
her daughter.

A SHREWD DARKEY.

The following sharp trick is re-
lated of a Kent County negro
"Boss, owe you dollar, and here's
the money!" said darkey to Ldbdnon
merchant the other day. After thor
ough search of the books, no account
could be found but the colored gent in
sisted that he owed 1t and must pay IL.
Struck with the exceptional honesty Of
the man, the storeKeeper put on his
sweetest smile, and enquired, what he
could sell him? "Nothing, boss, shant
have any more money till get mp divi-
dends, in September" The storekeeper
offered to trust and, after while, sue
ceeded in packing up about ten dollars
worth of merchandise. Next day that
artistic darkey started for "Kansas."

Hlgh.Priced Pears.
On Monday little Hazard sold to
pas enger at the depot three cents worth
of pears and pocketed the money. After
the train left he examined the change he
had received and found that one of the
pieces which he supposed was penny
was nothing less than gold piece. The
boy was overjoyed and it is fair to as
sumo that the passenger was correspond
ingly depressed when he discovered his
costly mistake.-Del. Inquirer.
why don't the Doctors Cure Your
Because, in many cases, they do not
know the nature OF your disease. They
experimen and try every thing that sug-
gests itself as the proper remedy, but all
in vain and the most plausible excuse
they can give, is that the case is incur
able. But does that make 1t SO? No, no,
