LEE.-On the 26th instant MARY r., in the
36th year of her age, wife of Il. Charles Lee, and

TOLLINGER.-In Lapidum, April 10th, 1881,
LIZZIE TOLLINGER, aged s years. daughter
of the late VIM. J. and Rebecca Tollinger.
Lizzie was a very interesting child, beloved by
all who knew her. In obeying the command Of
Him who called her, she has passed away from
earth. Very saddened are the hearts of those who
mourn the loss of their dearly loved one. She
suffered much but bore it with patience. She
will be greatly missed from her family circle, but
we know she has gone to dwell with Jesus.
We could not believe she must leave us.
Though many weeks ago
We feared the angels were reckoning her
To her Fathers home in the sky;
But VIC closed our eyes and could not believe
Our darling must die.
We hoped, oh! so fondly hoped,
When the morning wind cooled her brow,
1t would watt again the bloom of health,
But hope has deserted us now.
Each hour she grew weaker,
And saw by her sunken eye,
And the faint breath growing weaker,
That our darling Lizzie must die.
BY HER TEACHER.

Col. WEBSTER AND THE CUSTOM House
The Baltimore american of Tuesday pub
fishes letter from Col. E. H. Webster, of
this county, to committee of the "Repub-
lican Association" of Baltimore city. Col
Webster's letter is in reply to communica-
ton informing him that the Association had
unanimously determinedto present his name
to President Garfield, for appointment as
collector of the port of Baltimore. Col Web
ster says that he has been in no sense an APP
plicant for the place, or taken any steps to
obtain it. He adds
"There has for some years past been such
fierce, hurtful and even unseemly struggle
going on in the Republican ranks in this
State over the federal offices that it has been
offensive to many of our best friends, and
tended greatly to prevent Republican success
which otherwise might have been attained
cannot consent to become personally partyto
such n contest and you will pardon me, / trust
when / add that hope your ASSOCIATION will
not put in execution its kind purpose of pre-
senting my name to the President for ap-
pointment as collector of the port of Bali-
more And this hope is expressed, not be-
cause of any Indifference on my part to the
views and wishes of your association, or. of
any unwillingness to labor for the success of
the administration of General Garfield and
Republican harmony and ascendancy in our
State for all of these things give me the
deepest concern but because | am not will
ing to become a bone of contention among
Maryland Republicans, and | do not believe
that the party or public good requires that
should do So"

bEAIh OF hOr. w NJ =. DAlhD.-ETOl. WIN
Logan Baird, Principal of the Bel Air Academy,
died at Mr.. R. N. Hanna's Hotel, Bel Air, on
Wednesday evening, in the 55th year Of his age
Prof. Baird was born in Allegheny county, Pa,
near Pittsburg. He was the son of the late Rev.
DR.. Thomas Dickson Baird, a Presbyterian min
lister, and has three brothers in the ministry of
the Presbyterian Church, namely Rev. E. T.
Baird, of Uniontown, Pa, Rev. Jas. H. Baird,
of Philadelphia, and Rev. s. J. Baird, of Gov
ington, Ky.
About the year 1850 Mr.. Baird studied law and
was admitted to the bar, at Montrose, Iowa.
Preterring to teach rather than practise law, he
was elected Professor of Mathematics in Wash
ington College, Kent county, Md, and after
wards Vice President of the institution. After
remaining there for several years he was elected
to professorship in Westminster College, Full
ton, Mo. In 1857 he was elected to the chair of
mathematics in Oakland College, Mississippi,
and was for time acting President of the col
lege. During the war, while at Oakland he
was taken prisoner by the Federal forces His
health, which broke down from confinement and
privation, was delicate ever afterwards. After
the war he came to Baltimore and was an instruc-
tor at st. Timothy's Hall, Catonsville, aud for
a time taught private school in Baltimore
In 1874 he was elected Principal of the Bel Air
Graded School, and took charge of the Bel Air
Academy in January, 1850.
While here, Oakland College was reor.
ganized and he was invited to return to his old
field. lie declined this and other important pc.
sitons in the South, on account of his health.
Prof. Baird won the respect and regard of all
who came In contact with him, by his quiet,
courteous manners and the high sense of honor
and duty which actuated him in all things. His
talents and learning, united to long experience,
made him an excellent teacher He was taken
sick about two 'Seeks before he died, with jaun-
dice and peritonltis and alth ough he rallied for
a time, he became so weak that nature sue
cuinbed to the disease.
The funeral services will take place at the
Presbyterian church, Bel Air, of which he was
q member, on Saturday morning, May 7th, at
81 O'Clock, and the interment win be at Green
mount Cemetery, Baltimore.

The Deadlock Broken.

The deadlock in the Senate was broken on
Wednesday by the adoption of a motion to
go into executive session. The Republicans
would have saved themselves much trouble
and party pickering by doing this two
months ago. The Democrats have all that
time been willing to proceed with the bust
ness for which President Garfield called the
Senate together, but their opponents, unfor-
tunately for themselves, became involved in
n disreputable bargain with Senator Malone,
and felt obliged to carry it out by putting
Mahone's friends Riddleberger and Gorham,
into offices in the Senate, lest Malone should
cancel his engagement to vote with them, and
thus leave them in minority. By the terms
of the compromise between Conklng's and
Gartield's friends, no nomination was to be
taken up if objected to by one Republican
Senator from the State to which the office
appertains.
Several nominations were confirmed,
others were referred to committees and dis.
cussion of the Chinese treaty took place
The nominations over which fight will be
made are those of Stanley Matthews, OF
Ohio, as Justice of the Supreme Court VIM.
E. Chandler, as Solicitor General, and Judge
Robertson as Collector of the port of New
York. Matthews is the apologist and defen-
der of monopoles of every character, and
is therefore unfit for the high position to
which he aspres Chandler is n third-rate
- LII ,1,,1.
of Hayes, besides making himself useful to
Garfield during his campaign. Judge Rob
ertson is said to he an able, upright and hon
est man, but being opposed to Senator Conk-
lings machine politics his confirmation is
vigorously objected to by that Senator.
President Garfield has announced his inen-
ton Of standing by Robertson until the Sen
| ate acts upon his case and Conkling is equal
| ly determined to defeat him if he can 1t is
| therefore possible that his nomination will 90
| over until the next regular session. In the
meantime it is the opinion in Washington that
Gorham and Riddlebergcr are both overheard.
Gorham as editor of the National Republican
| has undertaken to defend the Star mail route
robbers and threaten President Garfield and
Postmaster General James ifthe investigation
is allowed to go on. lie has not, apparently
strengthened his case Senator Malone must
be very unhappy. He sold himself to the
Republicans for a very poor mess of pottage,
and did not get it after all.
| Taking it altogether, the Republicans are
no doubt glad to have found a hole through
which to crawl out of their dilemma.

Not suspicioning anything at all, the
sheriff went at once and unlocked the
jail and ordered Dock, who By this time
was all in tears at the idea OF going in
prison, to walk in. Bnt Dock wouldn't
walk worth cent. By this time per-
feet little army of both white and col
ored men, who had concealed themselves
in clump of woods near the Jail, had
completely surrounded the jail doors
when Mr.. Whitlow, was told that Dock
was one of their citizens-they wanted
Cherry Nichols, and Cherry Nichols they
would have. They were demonstrated
with for several minutes, half an hour
perhaps, but without effect. For one
manjto undertake to control forty or fifty
armed and determined men, and that
too, after the prison doors were thrown
open, would have been worse than folly,
SO the sheriff surrendered the boy into
their hands. He was made secure and
marched off in the direction OF Mount
Lebanon. He was found about six
miles north of here in an old field last
Monday hanging to a tree literally shot
to pieces. The same day DR.. Harrell,
the coroner, summoned a jury and re-
paired to the scene, where post NOR
TEN examination was held over the dead
body and verdict rendered in accord
ance with the facts. -.
Few and short were the prayers they said,
And they spoke not word of sorrow,"
But rapidly dug grave for the dead, and quick
ly put him in it.

STATE NEWS.

Donadsonville Chief: We are inform
ed that duel was fought on the S. We.
bre place, in tho parlshof st. james, at
half past II o'clock on Thursday last,
BY Messrs. J. f. Poche and A. B. Ro-
man, the former brother of Judge +.
P. Poche of the Supreme Court, and the
latter editor of the St. James Iouisian-
ais. According to our information, the
weapons used were Smith Il Wesson I'M
proved revolvers, the distance was ten
PAGES, and three shots were fred with
out effect, excepting that one bullet
passed through "a leg ofMr. Romans pan
falcons, near his ankle. 1t is said Messrs
r. G. Dugue and Septime Webre acted
as seconds for Mr.. Roman, but we have
not heard who represented the other
principal. The cause Of the duel was a
controversy growing out OF a lawsuit
that has assumed the character OF To-
cal cause cele6re, known as the Vacherie
Road injunction case. An editorial was
published in last weeks issue of the
Louisianais animadyerting not only up
on the course Of Judge Cheeyers in rela-
ton to the suit. but also criticising the
conduct of Messrs. Sims q Poche. attor-
neys for one Of the litigants. The lat
ter gentlemen responded to the article
by card in the issue Of the Creole Fire
side dated last Thursday, but published
on Wednesday, wherein the imputations
of the editorial in the Louisianais were
repudiated and denied in emphatic
terms. We are without intelligence as
to the. outcome of the duel, further than
as above stated, but we presume the ex-
plantations and reconciliation usual to
such meetings ensued in this case.
The Sparta Rural Times gives the fol-
lowing account Of the killing Of the col
ored boy who raped and murdered lit
the colored girl some weeks ago: "Before
our last Saturdays paper containing an
account of the horrible double crime
committed in our parish last Sunday
week, had time to reach its readers, the
perpetrator, Cherry Nichols. was dang
ling between earth and heaven with sew
eral bullet holes in his body. Saturday
night last, at about IL O'Clock, Mr.. Whit
low, the sheriff, was aroused by party
of six men who informed him that they
were new corners in the lower part of
this parish and that they had a hog thief,
who they called Dock, in their posses
sion, and wished to put him in Jail.
