MIR. BLAKE'S REMARKS.

In presenting the report he said that the
committee had i'll view the fact that the
question of Local Option is peculiarly peo-
as the American people solve such ques-
tons, viz, by intelligent discussion. Hence
as to organization, Il local one is recon-
mended, in order to bring the question home
to all; joined to this county organization,
in order to produce harmony and give the
benefit of united action.
If there is already majority in Cecil
county in favor of local option, that majority
must be maintained; more especially, in
order that great ma ority rolled up, will
settle the question for years to come, if not
forever That will be the surest way to
show those who are disposed to violate the
law, if adopted, that the people of Cecil do
not mean to dllor such law to he violated.
Let the law in the beginning be backed up
by the moral effect Of Il great majority. If,
on the other hand, there is not 4 ma jority in
favor of it, it is incumbent upon the friends
of Local Option to begin intelligent and
active work in its favor. Let every phase
of the question be discussed. Let its bear.
ing upon our financial, educational, moral
and religious interests be examined in the
light of the present and eternity to come.
Let the good women of the county, who
have suffered from the effects of ntemper
ance i'll their homes, have Il voice, and lei
the injured little ones speak. Especially
let the voters of the county 60 to the polls
determined to take away from the youth il
our midst the temptation now standing be
fore them.
The President then introduced r. ID. Nor
rison Esq, of Baltimore, who said he con
sidered it an honor to be called upon to adj
| dress the convention upon the great queS
ton of Local Option, which involved tn,
ability of selfgovernment. This question
has nothing to do with politics. He was
! Democrat, hut had heard it charged sine
he came TO this town that this was Il Repub
lican movement. He stood here to-day t,
deny the charge and repel the accusation
| The movement might have originated will
| it. This was Il trick of the opponents o
the measure, who, in Republican counties
assert that it is Democratic measure, an,
in Prince Georges county tried to Undue
the colored people to oppose it by assertin
that it was i scheme to reduce them t
slavery. The speaker then argued that tn
indiscriminate sale of liquor was in.juriou
to society and that its best interest demand
ell that it should be suppressed. The ques
ton resolved itself into this Have we
right to prohibit the sale of that which
profitable to others, and from which the
derive pleasure? Some thought it unwis
to restrain the wills of the people, but
long course of legislative experience ha
settled the fact in favor of the prohbitio
of many things other than the sale of |

GET almost
Everything.

Do you know how TO get
in the easiest way and to best
advantage what you want for
dress and house-furnlshlng?
First, how: Write for a
catalogue; sec what you can
learn from it about the things
you want. Ifsamples can be
useful to you, ask for them
and state your wants so
plainly that exactly the right
samples can be sent.
Second, where: The place
where goods are kept in the
greatest variety; where they
are sold for what they really
are in respect to quality !;
where prices arc lowest !;
where most care IS taken
to serve customers accept
ably; and where you have
the right to return whatever
is not satisfactory.
Ihcrc-nO matter where
you arc-if you make your
wants known and avail your
self of your privileges, you
will get the best things in
the best way, promptly and
without trouble or risk
sometimes by mail, some
times by express, almost
always at less cost for car
rage than the money you
save in the price,

The Terry Family.

In your paper of last week was a notice
of the death of Warner Terry, in Ohio,
at an advanced age. William Terry, the
father, resided on the property near Zion,
now the residence of Isaac f. Nanardsslale,
where he raised his family and carried on
the cartwrightng and blacksmithing, and
was considered an excellent workman and
a very industrious man. 1t was said that
he worked at the anvil until very old
man, and would call to his son, Blow,
Hosea, strike, Hosea,' until he fell with
the hammer in hand. He had a large fami-
ly of sons. Burke and Warner went to the
West They had learned their fathers
trade, and eXcelled in their work, and were
regarded as very promising young men,
taking the lead in the schools of their day.
had no acquaintance with them, but such
was their general reputation. | was ac-
quainted for number OF years with their
brother, Eli, who was also smith and cart
wright, and an excellent workman, but too
fond of strong drink, which was, no doubt,
owing to his genial temperament and fond
flash of light, he enjoyed the society of
iovial companions, and was the leading fig
IRE in jest and sport, but still he had his
seasons of depression, and was fearful Of
travelling at night, and tried to be home be-
fore shutdown. He was Il remarkably ready
writer, and had the elements necessary to
have made him very useful and promi-
nent man.
His brother, Hosea, lived and died Gf |
recollect arighD about Zion. He was Il
skeptical character, and is no doubt remem-
bered by many persons now living. An
other brother, Howell l., was many years
cashier of the Farmers Bank, at New Cas-
tie, Del. where he was much respected for
| his quiet and prudent course of life, and
where he died Il few years ago Two younger
! brothers, l think, are still living. There
| was but one sister, Emily. 4 most excellent
woman, who went to the West with her
| brother Warner. NJ

THE ATLANTIC CITY EXCURSION.
The excursion to Atlantic City. al
though attended by but few from here,
was the largest, We understand, of the
season. Unfortunately, through some
mistake. a number of the cxcursioniSts
were left ut Atlantic City by the cXcur-
sion tain. Although they all reached
home without any additional expense,
yet some of our friends were required to
try their pedestrian qualities in an early
Sunday morning walk from Perryville,
which worked somewhat to their discom-
future, and made them conclude with
those who arrived at | o'clock that morn
ing, that they had been trying to crowd
too much into one day.

About six car loads of people went

excursion to the colored camp meeting

SICKNESS AND DEATH.

For two weeks two of our merchants
wives have been lying between life and
death-Mr. n. Davis and Mr.. James
Smith S. On last Sunday evening as the
sun was setting Mrs. Cora Davis sun
went down to raise no more in this world.
Typhoid Pneumonia, was the disease.
The was comparatively young and one
to whom this world had many endear-
ments. She leaves one dear little girl
Bessie, without IA mother.
1t appears to be the will of Providence
to prolong Mrs. Smith life, for she is at
this time slowly and gradually recovering
A little boy. 6 years old, the son of Mr..
VIM. II. Freeman, died last week with
less than 4 days sickness. The cause of
his sudden demise is not known to the
writer. He was a smart, interesting lit
tie fellow, the pc. of the household.
Truly death loves a bright and shining
mark.
For week past the colored folks held
a meeting here, in the pretty grove.
Much interest was manifested and the
meetings We're quite spiritual. What a
grand result these meetings would ac-
chieve if they could succeed in impress
inm upon their minds the sinfulness of
taking that which does not belong to
them. The act Of purloining fruit from
orchards. visiting young chicken roosting
apartments and pulling roasting ears that
hang SO temptingly nice, &c, is a trans
erosion of Gods holy law, and if not
repented of will have to be answered for
at that great day.
PEACHES
are being shipped daily in large quanti-
ties to Philadelphia and Baltimore from
this vicinity. They have become a drug
upon the market-selling for = cents per
basket. Good for the consumer, but I'M
fortunate for the grower.
The refreshing shower ON Wednesday
was an event of joy t" some. while to
those who still have their wheat in the
shock it was received with regret. Scy-
eral farmers will lose heavy by the rains

HORSE DROWNED.
\ young man in the employ of Mr.. W.
r. Freeman, drove into the mill pond for
the purpose of obtaining water for Il
steam engine. where one of the horses
got down and before he could get him I'M
harnessed he was drowned. He had done
MANY wears of faithful service.
BURGLARY.
Just before closing our letter the intel
ligence reaches us of tramp breaking
into a lone widows house in Pearce' S
Neck, while she was away from home and
stealing all the eatables that she had i'll
her harder, but disturbed nothing else.
Mrs Lizzie WalmSley was the lady.
Tramps have become an intoerable
