be very soothing both to Sallie'S and Polly's
feelings. We hope at an early date to be
able to note the elopement of = Polly ~ from

The Burial of James Chambers.

The remains of the unfortunate young
man, James Chambers, who was killed on
the Delaware Railroad, on Wednesday of
last week, near Green Spring station, were
inferred in the Presbyterian cemetery, in
this town, on Saturday afternoon last
Special cars We're attached to the express
arriving here at 80 O'Clock, for the accom-
mediation of the relatives and friends, Il
large number of whom attended the funeral.
Two full car loads came from Wilmington
alone. Every facility was given and no
expense spared by the company in regard
to the ohsequies. \ great profusion of
flowers accompanied the remains, tributes
of love from many friends. The remains
were enclosed in a handsome rosewood
coffin, the top of which was completely
covered with flowers. Among the great
number of design in white flowers the
most striking was a large broken column
composed chiefly Of roses, upon the base of
which was the following inscription
From his railroad friends" in small col
ored flowers. Wreaths, crosses, harps, etc,
many of them extremely beautiful, were
there in great number.
The bearers six in number, We're all en-
ployes of the Railroad Company and friends
of the deceased. They were as follows
Conductors John Bockn and Robert Porter.
Brakemen Thomas Kane and Charles Me-
choir, Baggage Master James Legates and
Engineer William R-dmile.
Upon arriving at the depot, the remains
were taken at once to the Presbyterian
Church, where the coffin was opened by the
undertaken, Mr.. Palmer, of Wilmington,
and an opportunity given his friends and
acquaintance to look for the last time upon
the face of the deceased. Many of his
Elkton acquaintance, who had not seen
him for several years, awaited themselves of
the opportunity. The occasion was u very
affecting one, n number of those present
being moved to tears. Conductor Duncan,
who was in charge of the train at the time
of the accident, was present and was deeply
affected. Service having been held ut the
house before leaving Wilmington, none was
held here except the burial service at fhe
grave, which WAS conducted by Rev. Mr..
Heberton. After all had looked upon the
corps who desired to do so, the caSket was
closed and borne TO the grave. Very great
sympathy was expressed by those present
for the doubly widowed mother. The fu-
neral company returned to Wilmington at

SAM TOWNSEND IN \ HUFF.-Several of
the papers, notably the Morning Ne1cs, have
published one of Mr.. Samuel TownSend'S
letters which shows that he hutchered the
Kings English " most terribly. Samuel,
though he writes Il letter most every day ON
somebody or something, is very sensitive to

to catch it in Samu-l's own vernacular. the
Gazette has been his organ, much To the an
noyanre of the type settlers who have
wreStled with his bad prnmanShip and
worse spelling, but now he levels his gun at
that paper for having some times made him
say what he says he didn't, hoaSting that in
40 years he has been writing for the papers
he didn't own, use or want dictionary and
he wasn't going TO be forced to use one in
writing to men who have common sense.
The editor of The Gazette coldly turns on him
by saying: "Here,tter Mr.. Townsend will
render the Gazette compositions Il favor by
sending his letters where they can be pub
liShed without errors.

Discharged for Want of Evidence.

On Friday of last week, Justice Lewis, of
this town, was summoned to Perryville, by
officer William A. Wright, of the duckins
police, to hear the case of 4 party arrested
for violating the wild fowl law. The party
arrested was Edward Dive. Information
was given Mr.. Wright by one VIM. Herbert
Of the violation OF the law, he protesting
his ability to prove the charges. Justice
Lewis accordingly went to Perryville, and
the accused was brought before him. There
was, however, no evidence to show that he
had violated the law in any particular and
he was discharged. 1t seems that two men
had been seen shooting from Il box said to
belong to Dye and his father within sixty
yards of /. shore, contrary to law, but
Dye was not one of them, he at the time of
the alleged SNORING being out on the river
in his boat. The testimony mainly relied
on was not TO be had, the parties having
taken themselves away to avoid testifying.

Cecil Prolific in Public Men.

\ correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, in
Peninsular towns:
Middetown is in the center Of the largest
peach growing region on the peninsula, and
the shipments from this point exceed those
of any other point, large quantities coming
from Cecil county, in Maryland. As this
crop is in the main the dependence of the
farmers of this section, particular inquiry
was made concerning the prospective yield,
and from every one interviewed came the
reply that the crop would be failure this
year. Along the water courses in Cecil
county it is believed the yield will reach
half u crop, and the same reports come
from orchards similarly located further
down the peninsula. Away from the water,
however, but few peaches will be raised
One grower said that he could eat at one
time all the peaches he will have from an
orchard of 5000 trees, and another near
town did not believe he would get basket
full from $4,000 trees.
Before reaching this point your cores
pendent spent several days in Elkton, the
county seat of Cecil county ElktOn is a
pleasant place for residence, being conve-
niently located and possessing Il genial and
social population. 1t has not grown much
i'll size, but the past decade shows much
Improvement in the way of renovating and
beautifyins buildings and streets.
Cecil county can boast of being the home
of more public men than any county in The
State, and in this respect might challenge
any county III the country of like area and
population. E.kton is the home of two ex-
Congressman, an Ex-Governor and present
United States Senator, and an ex-senator
and Postmaster General. The Democratic
party some years ago selected an Elktonian
as its candidate for Governor, who was
beaten by Governor Hicks, and later the
Republican party selected a Port Deposit
citizen for the same exalted poSition.-
Through the influence of the public men
Cecil has furnished the State and Nation
including the present heavy Independent
Senator from Illinois, the number of Cecil
cOnniianS holding State AMI federal posi-
tons Is legion, though not so many of them
are now holding offices us formerly.
Politics in the county are sadly mixed,
which may account in some degree for he
falling Oft in the leaves and fishes usually
falling to Cecil. b 9TH parties seem To have
war in their ranks, the faction lines, how
ever, being more marked in the Democratic
than in the Republican party.

Change of Time.

Several changes in the time of arrival and
departure of trains at our depot took effect
on Monday. They are rs follows: The morn
ing express going north, heretofore leaving
at 1l.O5, is now six minutes later, leaving
at I'LL; and the evening train north, for
merly leaving at =. NJ, is twelve minutes
later, leaving at 512. The Baltimore and
Port Deposit train, passing here at $50 p.
NJ, now stops to leave passengers from either
of those points; and the train south, which
passes here at 1923 T.. NJ, stops to leave
Philadelphia passengers. The latter will
prove great convenience to our citizens.
Heretofore 4 person spending the evening
in Philadelphia could not reach home until
IL o'clock A. NJ; now home may be reached
ut fair hour for going to bed.

report, which WAS received and laid oven

Mr.. Foulk had placed upon the black
