He was whistling over his work. care.

significance of the letters he was cut

sun was nearly at the end of the day S

bosom of the broad Atlantic, whose
waves washed the shores of the little
seaport town of Monkton. A stranger,
handsomely dressed in gray, with large,
lustrcus brown eyes, came to the fence
that was around the yard where the
stone cutter worked. and read the let

STAFFORD, July 15.-We are passing through
the heated term bravely, and though ON
Tuesday the thermometer reached 30 degrees
in the shade and on many other days has
been corrcspondingly high, yet such is the
location of our town that no serious incon-
venience has resulted from the great heat
OF course, as in other places, the weather
seriously affects business, and our merchants
are complaining of the dulness of trade but
if the patronage that is scattered between
fifty or sixty stores was concentrated on one
third the number, we have no doubt trade
would seem to be brisk.
Peaches are coming in very slowly and what
few there are find their way directly to the
depot, 80 that it is novel sight, as yet, to
see them vended in the town. The wheat
crop has given tolerable satisfaction, for
though the straw was shortened by the
drought the head is full and heavy. II is
selling in lots at 81 per bushel.
The blackberry crop is yielding good
return to the producers. and no doubt is the
best paying fruit crop, large and small, that
our farmers raise.
Our people like many other towns were
census enumeration, for whilst, the general
estimate of our population was from 1900 to
$500, the returns show but 1910.
The political caldron has not begun to boil,
and the reaction following the intense
excitement and anxiety that attended the hold.
ing the two conventions, still continues; and
we predict very frafernal campaign in this
section.
Religious services also feel the effects Of
the heated term in the scarcity of attendanc,
and absence of the shephers Of the flocks
Rev. Mr.. Terry, pastor Of the NJ L. Church
has gone to Rehoboth for recreation and Rev
Mr.. Miskimon, of the NJ. p. Church will soor
soon start for Harper's Ferry for the sam,
purpose.

DOVER, July 16.-Yesterday this vicinity
was visited by long-needed rain, which fell
heavily for nearly an hour. The new sewer
from Bradford street to the creek did its work
very well though two basins are not sufficient
to carry off the water that falls on one-third
of the town. 1t is said that the town fathers
are going to put in two more wells on the
corners opposite those already sunk When
this is done our town will be nicely drained.
Blackberries, in consequence OF the pro-
tracted dry spell are about gone. The peach
shipments are growing. Mr. Nix, the New
York commission king for Delaware fruits,
has just been on a tour through the State.
He said the other morning that our fellow
townsman, f. A. Williams, has the finest pear
orchard i'll Delaware.
Tents are rapidly being erected on the

prospect or $50 being ordered before next

A. W. Lightbourno will have charge of the
services.

Death of w. II. Nesbtt.

William B. Nesbit, well known here as
temperance tnlker, died suddenly Of
heart disease Monday morning, in Phila-
delphia. MIR. Nesbit had lived hereabout
and in Chester county for years past, and
was apparently about 80 years of age.
He conducted for two or three years a
little paper called the Kimhleville Register.
Coming to this city something over year
ago be talked strongly of starting morn
ing daily paper, aid was connected for a
short time with the publication of tenn
perance weekly. which he soon sold to Fl.
w. Morrow. Nesbit then married Mrs.
Carson, widowed daughter of Mr.. John
Il. Klund. Some two or three months
after this marriage he purchased stereop-
ticon, and started out with minstrel
troupe for Pittsburg. Like many previous
enterprises of MIR. Nesbit's this proved a
failure, and he found himself stranded at
Marietta, Pa. He afterwards tried selling
liver pads, and, if he had lived, Intended
to start out o.morrow as salesman of
some kind of galvapo-electrio medals.
He was fair public speaker and man of
some natural ability, but he seemed to
lack the stability and earnestness of pur.
pose essential to success.

A brutal Assault.

Il Il. Jump Esq, a prominen. Eastern
Shore lawyer, while in T.. o. Rochester
store at Denton, Nd, Tuesday evening,
was attacked by John f. Melvin, who
struck Jump with heavy club telling
him senseless to the floor. Melvin fol-
lowed up the assault by striking his pros
trate victim four more heavy blows with
the club. 1t appears for some time past
it has been whispered about that Mr..
Jump had been on terms of undue init
macy with Miss Melvin, younger sister
of the journalist, but the rumor was dis
credited 10y the family. A day or two ago,
however, 1t is stated that the discovery
was made that Jump had fora long period
been holding nlandestiue interviews with
Miss Melvin aud that the frequent corre-
spondeDee with her pointed strongly to
criminal intimacy. A large number of
letters written by Jump were said to have
been found in her possession, together
with Mi i,surence policy Of 80 600 on his
life for the benefit of the young lady and
also jewelry of value and love mementoes.
Jumps injuries wore 80 serious that it was
thought, Inst night, they would probably
prove fatal His asIailant, who is a
brother 20 George L. Melvin, of the
Dentou JOariaI, was arrested and lodged
in all
