CEcILToN, Nd, May 80, 1881.
Cecilton is q town Of about five hum
dred inhabitants, and is one of the
handsomest places of its size in Cecil
county. It was incorporated by the
Legislature several years ago. there
are three churches and two school,
houses in the town. The col0red
people have one of these churches,
and also have one of the school
houses. 1t is not necessary to enumer-
ate the business places, but Cecilton is
considered up to, if not above, the
average town. 1t was the place of
residence of the late DIR. Thomas A.
Roberts, one of the most skilled ply
sicians in the neighborhood, and son
of Rev. DIR. George Roberts, an early
Methodist minister, and one of the
founders OF Methodism in Maryland.
One of the flIest houses in the town is
that occupied by David Davis and
owned by J. Chandler Cruikshank.
There are several other fine residences
in the place, and altogether Cecilton
il a handsome, snterprising, moral
town. n.

"Reminiscences Of the First Steam
snip Between Philadelphia and

"Reminiscences Of the First steam
ship Between Philadelphia and
Liverpool. ..lL
A correspondent of the New Castle Star
furnishes the following:
SO long as thirty year, ago, the first
foreign steamship line was established
between Philadelphia and Liverpool, ,and
many Of the citizens Of New Castle will
recall the morning when the City of
dla. gov The pioneer ship of the line first
passed up the river. she was commanded
on this and a few Subsequent voyage by
Captain matthews, famous trans-At-
iantlc captain of that day, whose fortunes
had waned temporarily from having lost
the Great Western, celebrated steam
ship on the coast of Ireland.
The boys had been watching for the
Glasgow for several days, and at last a
long line Of black smoke below the Fort
Detokened her approach. New Castle
had determined to give tbs new line a
handsome reception with salutes &c.
About 8 O'Clock A. NJ, on beautiful,
bright morning, almost the whole popu-
latlon assembl d OH Jefferson's wharf,
and soon the triB little steamer ap-
preached. Two thousand tons measure
ment about she was, and although large
at that day, she would be considered
| small now. She was full ship-rgged,
with the regulation Iaman black smoke
stack, and white band near the top, the
same distinguishing mark this line carries
| to-day.
She came quite close'in, ships ofthat
day using the western channel, and not
the eastern Channel as now. Our can
non, borrowed from railroad company,
was loaded and primed, a long rod of
iron heated In furnace at safe dis
tance Oh the wharf being used TO touch
her of. "Do ph" Jefferson presided
over the iron, and Capt. Edward Will
liams usually gave The word, encour-
aging D0lph The more closer and less
iiinchingly he stood to his work. Ma
jestically the steamer passed the wharf
covered with flags, and her passengers
and crew waving cordial greetings, and
thus was the entente c0rdiate establish
ed between the Inman line aud the Citi-
zens' Of New Castle, and even to this
day Our good wishes and kind rec0llec-
tions follow 1t.
Several years later the steamer was
wrecked while returning from Liver
pool.
The New Castle Artillery Company
was formed soon after the City of Glas-
gov made her first voyage, and SO long
as the Inman tine ran between Liver
pool and Philadelphia. don't think
this company ever failed to salute q ship
or the ship to respond. Man7 a gay
time the artillery bows had. and all sorts
of fun and frolics; and often look back
and think of the kindness of an Overrul-
ing Providence, not member was ever
MANNED or seriously injured. To day
they are scattered, 3 few here, e few
there, many dead. About 1856 the
company dsbanded, many having left to
engage In the more serious duties Of life
and tl.ose NJ home likewise engaging IN
business. During the war believe the
government took the gun, and it proba-
bly, now Is perpetuating In bronze the ex-
ploits OF some hero of land or sea.

AN INTERESTING TRIAL.

Ford w. Lamb at Townsend Bro.
theirs at Home.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
TOWNSEND, DEL, May 81, 1881.
A suit, the result of the assault on
j. w. F"rd by Thomas Lamb, was
tried in Esquire Wilson's Office to day,
Ford having served out a warrant OF
assault with intent to kill. The trial
commenced by Ford calling several
witnesses whose evidence had no bear
ing on the case beyond seeing him
(FordJ after the assault. Tho next
witness called by Ford to prove that
he was peaceful citizen was William
Allen, who praised Ford in the highest
degree. As Allen was taking his seat
Mr. Lamb abruptly inte.,vgs,sa hian
With, "Mr. Allen did Ford ever whip
your daughter with cart whip 2"
Allen reluctantly replied that he had,
and continued Mr.. Lamb, "Did not
Ford chase you with shot gun, and
shoot at you ?' Mr.. Allen admitted
that Ford had chased him, but did not
know whether he shot at him or the
gun accldently discharged. Richard
Merriam was called and said he was
willing to swear that Ford was cut with
bill hook, although he did not see
the fracas. Ford here closed his case
by saying that Lamb had assaulted
him on his own property, just opposite
Lambs house.
Mr.. Lamb, in the defense, called up
Frank Lamb, his son, who testified
that Ford stopped in front of their
house the day previous to the one dur
ing which the assault was committed,
aud began abusing the family and
would not desist until his father went
out and ordered him away. Ford re-
piled that he would leave whom IL suit
ed him to do SO and continued the
abuse. Mr.. Lamb then knocked him
down, aud Ford left mutJering curses.
The next day Ford drove by the house
about fifty yards and then stopped,
turned around, and come back, halt
ing in front of the house, and saying
he had come to s'hrash the whole
d. family" using horrid oaths and
vile epithets to all who were present.
Mr.. Lamb then picked up broken axe
helve and rushed out. On seeing this
Ford stepped back on his own prop
erty. Mr.. Lamb being very angry
took no notice OF this and dealt him
several blows over the head and arm
with the broken handle. Ford cried
that he had enough and said he would
not offend again. Mr.. Lamb then
went in the house. Several witnesses
corroborated Lambs testimony in
every point, and the defense closed.
Justice Deakyne, in rendering his ds-
cision, said he would have to holi Mr..
Lamb under surety until Court, if il
WAS not settled by themselves. Mr.,
Lamb became his own security.
j. Brothers, the Appoquinimiuk
pensloner, whom the papers stated was
arrested aud held under heavy bail, is
in Townsend, and says he will get his
pension. A.
