A CASE OF HARD LUCK
Falsely Accused OF Deserdi0n and
hmprlsOned for n Long T1ne,

A few weeks since we published
the account OF a citizen of Wilmington,
Mr.. Lemuel Morris, who was employed
in the Jackson & Sharp Co, being ar.
rested as u deserter. He was accused of
being II certain Harry Monroe, who had
deserted from Co. G. 4l6, United States
Infantry, stationed in Wyoming Terri
tory. Both the witnesses who were
brought on from the army from Wyom-
ing Territory, and several from Will
mington, stated that he was not the
mainland he was at onco acquitted But
in the meantime he had been dragged
from his home, and kept at degrading
labor Sunday and week day for the
space OF five monthsat Davis Island, in
New York Harbor. Mr.. Morris having
lost so much time got eX-TIeasurer Vim
cent to represent his case to the War
Department and see it he could not get
something to rpmuneraJe him for his eX-
pens, loss of time and hardship. For
he was turned out of the fort without
being given a cent to pay his way back
to Wilmington. Yesterday Mr.. Vincent
received the following letter from the
tion. Robert Lincoln, Secretary of War,
In response to his application

that, ali things considered TIE company

had no doubt OF tho ultimate success Of
The enterprise here in Delaware. The
company has goue largely into raising
heetA itself this year, and has been
fairly successful. The weather has not
been favorable for tbs agricultural ex-
pertinent, and it has not done as well
as expected.
The agricultural problem in Della
ware has not been solved by any ineans
it appears, but this question is onl y ono

will have to 20 into flaming more eX-

Death OF u Fine Colt.

A young farm tenant residing zeal
Howellvllle, Delaware county, one hot
day last week took two valuable colts
belonging to James Boyd, of Lenni,
on the W. Chester & Philadelphia II r.,
to break them, ana hooking them up
together drove them to d point in the
lower part OF Chester county and then
back to his own nome, probably well
satisfied with the manner lie had gotten
through with them on the first days
exercise. Next morning he was sur
prised TO find tho elder Of the colt
coming five years old-dead; he excess
i've heat OF the day previous was at
tributeu as the cause. MIR. Il had only
a few days previous refused $500 for the
colt, which was finely bred.

A Romantic A.ove Chase.

which two young lovers and an irato
pursuer figure conspicuously, comes
from Kentucky. Joseph Carpenter
and Ollie Brown, lass of fourteen.
have made one or two attempts to clone,
the girls tents, who live in Scottsville,
about fifteen niles from the Tennessee
line, having opposed the marriage of
the young people. A few days ago,
however, their love affairs reached d
climax. Young Carpenter drove to the,
house of his sweetheart in buggy, and
pleaded as only an anxious lover can,
with the mother of the girl, who proved
as obdurate as ever. Nothing daunted,
he asked the girl to choose between him
self and her mother. Her answer was
all he could desire, and Catching her
in his arms" as the chronicler reports,
he leaped into the carriage and drove
off. The alarm was raised and young
justice Of the police court, mounted on
u fleet thoroughbred, started in pursuit
of the runaway pair. The race was a
hot one, and now fortune seemed to f1'
vor the lovers and now the arm of th e.
law. The Western Lochinvar had pro-
vided himself with a good horse, and
he reached the Tennessee line a few
minutes before the Justice. A town
was reached Squire Fixes was hast

tied, when, alas, mp rode the horseman,
hot and angry, and forbade the mar
