Death OF DR. Wiliett-In the death
of DIR. Cephas f. Willett, which occurred at
his residence, near Potomac, on Thursday
evening last, the community has lost the
services Of professional gentleman of ripe
experience ard the example Of Christian
and exemplary man.
Dr. Willett was born and raised in this
county, and was the only child Of the late
Burgess Wilett. He was sixty-three years
of age at the time Of his death. DR.. Willett
studied medicine with the late DIR. Reuben
Summers, of this town, and after graduating
located near Potomac, where in few years,
by his professional skill and strict and care
full attention to the wants Of suffering hui
manity, he acquired large practice.
BY reason of delicate health and the ex-
tent of his rides, DIR. Wilett was induced to
remove TO thickly settled portion of the
State of New York. Here too, his pleasant
and genial manner, united to n discriminat-
ing mind, richly stored with that knowledge
essential to success in his profession, he soon
gathered around him an extensive practice.
The climate, however, proved too severe, and
the Doctor returned To the scene Of his early
labors, where his old patients and many
friends were not slow in showing their APP
probation Of his many virtues and profess
sional abilities.
But few men live to Il ripper age, but few
have lived "A more correct and useful life,
and it will be II long time before the void
caused by his death is filled, or the many
who knew and loved him cease to remember
his noble traits OF character.
Death is sad at any time and hard to re-
alize, but when it strikes down one who has
devoted the best part Of his life, and all the
energies of his body and mind in the allie
Walton of the bodily suffering Of his fellow
man, it comes with double force and effect
To the widow, relations and friends in the
death of one who, whilst living, was a strik-
ing and beautiful example for ALL we extend
our sincere sympathy.

A letter from Browningsville, this county,
to the Frederick Times, has the following
shooting ARRAY occurred near Mr.. j. ii.
Clagetts store few days ago, the crcum.
stances being as follows: Mr. Clagetts
grandfather bought small tract of land
some forty years ago, selling it since to a
man by the name of Guy. The farm from
which the tract in question was sold, was
bought by man named Low, who put IA
crop OF grain ON Guys lot, although Guy
had forewarned him against such course,
no attention was paid to the warning. Guy
took advice from lawyer, who told him 10
take possession Of his land. He and his wife
went, taking with them few cooking uten-
sis, and made u fire in an old chimney on
the land. Low saw the smoke and imme-
diately came over to cut the grain, his son
and black man accompanying him. They
were armed with guns, and as soon they were
near enough they fired upon Guy wound
ing him and his wife Then they beat them
with the guns, cutting and bruising them
badly. Low, his son and the negro have
been arrested.
Mr.. Zadoc King few days since cut him
self severely with u scythe while harvesting.
A few evenings since while Mrs. Sallie
Wariield and family were sitting at supper,
there came in at the open door II swarm of
insects, which lit on the table and hoped
around like grasshoppers, getting into their
victuals so that the family were forced to
leave the table and give their supper up for
that night. In an hour the intruders had
entirely disappeared leaving no trace save a
few that were scorched by the lamp

A pleasant OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES pa.

irons and citizens generally in the neigh
borhood of School No. IS, were most agreea-
bly, entertained in the closing exhibition of
this school which came off on Friday even
ing of last week.
| This school is under the management OF
Miss Sallie Kilgour, and her efforts upon
that occasion are sufficient evidence of the
interest and energy she gives in the legiti-
mate duties of the school ROOM Indeed the
exhibition would have been creditable to
any of our more advanced seminaries, and
reflects much credit upon Miss Kilgours
competency, and the caste and care shown
in the selection and arrangement of the
parts taken by the children.
The school room was most beautifully and
tastefully decorated, a handsome stage had
been erected which was also beautitied with
evergreens and suitable paintings. On one
side of the stage were arranged the pupils,
Miss KS seat and table in the centre and a
melodeon on the opposite side. The must
cal programme was under the charge of Mr..
Dreamer and sister who, assisted by other
voices, rendered charming music at APP
pointed times
The programme was well arranged and
most successfully and delightfully."- executed
Al Of tie scholars did well and were APP
plauded by those present for their efforts.
There were some, however, who require
special notice.
"When | am Man." rendered by Master
Frank Cole was warmly applauded and gave
great evidence of dramatic talent.
The dialogue between Master Clagett
Knott and Miss Lille, his sister, was warmly
received, and exhibited to very great de-
gree an appreciation of the humors in life.
MY Dollies," by Miss Susie Offutt, was
gra ceiully and charmingly performed.
William Tell" a heavy dramatic piece,
was handled with an ease, grace and power,
that plainly showed the young orator in
Master Willie Jones.
AT the close of the recitations and dia-
logues the following tableaux were given
which called forth much admiration. The
handsome curtains falling upon each after
moments view:
Bunch of flowers, Sold Out,
The Patient, Garbeara Gair,
Brother and Sister, Past and Present,
The Musicians, The Tease,
Wash Day, The Secret,
Grandfather and The Gypsy Camp,
grandmother, Going to School,
The Ride, Woman's Rights,
Still Life
With the last tableaux came the valedic-
tory by Miss Kate Collins followed with
singing by the school
The evening was stormy but the room was
filled. The evenings programme was con-
cluded by most bounteous profession OF
cake and ice lemonade furnished by the
scholars.
