fore or since. The amount of damages
awarded the plaintiff was 1927, 600.
While the case made John NJ. Clayton's =

reputation. Robert Frame was associa.
ted with Mr.. Bayard in the case.
Bayard and Clayton were associated
in the celebrated "Pea Patch" case
which was argued before Hon. John
Sergeant in Philadelphia, and in which
they were successful.
In 1S45 Mr.. Bayard went to New
York to practice law, but owing to a
failure of health he only remained there
two years and then returned to his ma
tive State. Had he remained in New
York 1t is probable that he would have
been President Of the United States.
Mr.. Bayard was Q man of wonder
ful memory. An instance Ia cited by a
very particular friend:-During term
Of Court at New Castle, one evening a
dispute arose between John M. Clayton
and he, who had been opposing coun.
sci in case tried that day, as to who
knew the most OF the Bible. From
this came contest as to who could re-
peat The most passages correctly. For
several hours this novel trial of knowl
edge went on, each arising alternately
and sometimes repeating whole chap
ters. Presently the Biblical duel was
discontinued and Shakespeare was ta-
ken up. From that time until morn.
ing they continued to declaim dramatic
passages from the works of the great
poet. There was no hesitansy on the
part Of either, and as soon as one took
his seat the other would promptly fol-
low.
Mr.. Bayard's domestic life was quist
and peaceful. He was married sbout
the time Of his admission TO the bar to
Miss Nancy Francis, daughter of
Thomas Francis, who was & prominent |
citizen Of Philadelphia. Mrs. Bayard
died in 1864. The children of the ex.
Senator were James A., Thomas f., the
present Senator; Mable, the wife of DR..
John K. Kane Of this city; aud Florence
now Mrs. Benjamin Lockwood of New
York. James A. was admitted to the
bar when "a years OF age. He was
very much like his father in personal
and was promising young |
man. He died in lS49, soon after his
admission to the bar.
Since his retirement from public life
Mr.. Bayard has resided quietly at home
and seldom left the city, except 10 visit
Mrs. Lockwood. his daughter in New
Yora. His health has bsen good until |
recently,

The much dreaded army worm has
made its appearance in portions ol
Chester county. The writer was told
that on one farm in particular near
Penn Station, the worms had eaten
every vestige Of grass from the place,
barely leaving the roots. The place was
literally covered with these pests in
side of two days. The only way to head
the worm off is to dig trench around
the field, when they will fail in and are
unable to reach the top again.

GovernSr Foster, who is a competent
authority on Ohio politics, says Gar.
fields majority iu Ohio will be larger
than his own was last year. As for the
ISLANDERS which the Democrats are
reviying, the Governor tells reporter
Of The Cincinnati Commercial that they
have no real foundation. "The charges
against him are TO bs considered as
thoroughly settled. From what know
about them, there isn't the slightest
reason 70 beliove inYhis corrupt con-
Eection with them, and also know
that fair.minded and well-informed
Democrats hold the same impression Of
the matter as ! do. He himself has
fully met all these chatges in the min
utest detail, and any who care to be IN
formed npcp the subjec. can easily
find his defence in pamphlet form. He
was the sublact OF q fierce assault in
his candidacy in 1874 in his district,
and in that election suffered quite
seriously in tho reduction Of his ma
jorityg but 80 thoroughly are his con-
stitusDts now convinced Of mis- integrity

The bronze is the leading variety Of
turkeys with those who raise for market,
on account Of their large size and hardi-
ness. They also challenge the admira-
ton of all by their very attractive plum
age of rich and changeable colors. The
cock turkey in full feather il really bril-
liant in appearance. and the females are
only little less beautiful. All of the
experience of our best breeders has been
brought to bear upon the bronze turkey
which has resulted i'll their very high
state of perfection for this reason any
one purchasing thoroughbred bronze
turkeys may feel confident that certain
fixed characteristic qualities will be re-
produced in their offspring Their weight
is greater than the common stock, and
one seasons breeding will more than pay
