Death of Mrs. Ann Boulder.

This venerable old lady, who was proba-
bly, the oldest female in the county, died at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Eliza
beth Neal, near North East, on Tuesday
last, i'll the 9th year of her age.
Mrs. Boulder, whose maiden name was
Shippers, was born on plantation on the
Nottingham road, near Boulden's chapel,
about four miles from Elkton. Her parents
were among the earliest converts to Method
ism in this part Of the county and their
house was one of the stopping places Of the
early itinerants when it was III its infancy.
\ year or two ago the old lady told us that
she attended the first watch meeting ever
held in the county.
She was converted and joined the NJ. L.
Church in early life and for nearly three
fourths of century was 4 consistent and
exemplary member, ready to contribute OF
her means tothe support of the gospel. She
contributed the land upon which Boulder 5

Report of Marion School, No. g.

Our school closed some weeks ago, and we
do not feel compliinented when we look at the
situation and condition of our school house.
1t being in the woods, and Il very lonely
spot, we were seldom disturbed by the rum
Bile of wheels or sound of hoofs. The coun-
ty town, though some miles from our loca-
ton, was visited by Examiner and Com
missioner once Il month; consequently the
monotony was broken by the gay steed and
their beaming faces. Notwithstanding the
Inconvenience of our school life and appa-
ratus to aid teacher and scholar, we passed
Il delightful year, made bright by the smil-
ing countenance and diligent worker among
our pupils. The intense interest for our
schools success was manifested by Commits
sioner and Trustees, proven to us by their
quarterly visits. Surely we realized our
work lightened when we knew that Com
missioner, Trustees, and Patrons conceded
with our efforts; therefore, let us insist that
each school may be encouraged as much as
ours has been during the past months of the
school year.
We sincerely hope our enterprising COM
munity will not suffer their children to
spend much time in the present building
we have recently vacated: but erect one
that will not corrode the intellect and health
of its occupants. The school, though small,
has been well attended, and consisted of six
grades Our time never hung on our hands:
consequently the day never was too long.
The total average of the grades is as fol-
lows:

whom we noticed a few weeks since as Il
visitor in Elkton, found his way to Balti-

him in his better days. But he failed in
this, and being destitute of means, obtained

But failing in this, he concluded to come to

and gave him the amount of his fare to
Wilmington, he reached that city on Mon
day last, and soon afterwards started to
walk from there to Elkton. He, however

Lost and Found.
North East

Last Tuesday evening, Il drover from
Baltimore, who had been riding on top of
one of the ears of the evening freight train,
on board of which he had number ofcattle
for the Philadelphia market, willie attempt
ing to descend to the platform of the
passenger car attached to the train, near the
Elk Neck crossing, accidently dropped his
pocket book, containing a larger number of
valuable papers, and a small sum of money.
When the train reached the depot at this
place he went back to look for the lost book
which he was unable to find, but which
was subsequently restored to him by Mr..
Henry Bell, of Elk Neck, who was passing
along the road and picked it up. The book
and contents We're all right, except Il one
dollar note, which somehow had got on the
track and over which the wheels of part of
the train had passed, injuring it so badly
that it was useless. The drover allowed
Mr. Bell to retain the rest of the money,
which amounted to two dollars, and went
on his way rejoicing on the nine o'clock
yain.
