Ague Cure

Is a purely vegetable bitter and power
ful tonic, and is warranted a speedy and
certain cure for Fever and Ague, ChiIls
and Fever, Intermittent or Chill Fc-
yer, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague.
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In miasmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, coated tongue, thirst,
lassitude, loss of appetite, pain IN the back
extremities, only preinonitions of
severer symptoms, which terminate in the
ague paroxysm, succeeded by high fever
and profuse perspiration.
It is startling fact. that quinne, arse

"Tonics," in the market. The prepara-
tions made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill do not cure, but leave the
malarial and their own drug poison i'll
the system, producing quinisnl, dizziness,
ringing in the ears, headache, vertigo and
other disorders more formidable than the
disease they We're intended to cure.
AYERS AGuE CURE thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cures the severest cases. 1t
contains no qninne, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its crownng excellence, above
Its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease us before tho

For Liver Complaints, AYERS AGUE
CURE, by direct action on the liver and

which produce these complaints, and stm-
ulates the system to Il vigorous, healthy
condition.
We warrant it when taken according to
directions.

Williamson VS.. Neary was the first case
called for trial. A jury was drawn and
sworn and Joshua Maris, ESD, opened the
case for Williamson. 1t was an action OF
replevin. William &. Whiteley, ESD,
appeared for the defendant.
There was a witness in this case from
Philadelphia. When the Prothonotary
went to take his mileage, he asked Col.
WHITLEY what number of miles to allow.
The Colonel said II miles, to the State

But" said the Prothonotary, sit was

not the State line. We have not taken

The defendant agreed without argu-
ment that the plaintiff should have a
verdict for costs and it was so ordered.
| iury was drawn to try the case oil
Moore vs.. Quinby. 1t is an action against
the schooner Mary Quinby for wharfage
The plaintiffs testimony tended to show
that the schooner Quinby was fastened
to Mr., Moore's wharf for nearly ayear
and during that time she was attended tt
by Mr.. Moore's employees.
Moore asked them to send their boat there
and he would not charge them anything
his object being to get her there with
view to getting the job to repair her a,
soon as suit then pending in the United
States courts should be decided.

GEORGETOIyN.

Special Correspondence Of state journal.
GEORGETOWN, May 1l.-There Is a stir
from early to late in every direction in
Sussex. Flowing is largely done and
major portion of the corn land will be
planted before the week is out. Early
patches are up and all things considered
the farmers are masters of the situation.
Never was there more doing among the
steam mills in pine lumber, and the
white oak trade was never brisker. 1t
would seem from the quantities shipped
and used in the various places | have
lately visited, there would be an end to it
at no distant day. 1t strikes me as very
strange that Seaiord, with such splendid
wharfage and everything necessary, even
to line timber near by, does not rank
among the first Of the Peninsula in vessel
building.
We found in Georgetown numerous
applicants for offices ; several for Recorder
OF Deeds, which, as they say, "runs
out OH Monday next.
Just here it is worth mentioning, as
showing which way the wind blows,
that there is a great deal OF latent and
outspoken feeling among Democrats that
the Levy Court should resolve to pay no
more than 81 200 annually for the ser
vices of the clerk of the peace before the
incoming of the present officer and
not to allow, as has been very lately
done, y, 1000, making the Office pay Mr..
Tomlinson about $4,000 year. 1t is
said all the duties of the office are done
for him for about $3.50 to $500. The talk
as heard it yesterday on the hotel
porches and elsewhere, was that if reform
could not be had within the party it must
be had without it; that there was a ring
of paid hangers on who control the Levy
Court in the interest of those who have
allowances to be made.
There is general grumbling
over higher assessments and higher
rates, coupled with extravagant
allowances. 1t comes from those who do
not wish appointments and are not disap-
pointed place-hunters, and if one can
believe in the solid earnestness with
which it is talked, it must mean some
thing. Many acts of the last Legislature
are strongly denounced.
We saw Judge Wootten and found him
quiet indisposed, having contracted a
severe cold in Dover, causing loss of appe-
title and general debility. lie thought he
would he able to take his seat on the
bench in few days.

John Nj. kunsman, proprietor OF the Lake
House at Rehoboth, was on Wednesday
arrested for having fires on the camp ground
OF the Rehoboth Beach Association. II seemed
at the hearing that he (Kunsman) had been
employed by Mr.. Bright to move a certain
tent or other building, and he alleged that he
set fire to a lot Of rubbish to get it out of his
way. When superintendent j. X. Dick saw
the fire he Immediately went to Kunsman and
told him in positive terms that those fires
must be extinguished. Kunsman refused
and became 30 enraged as. to exasperate Mr..
Dick, and the words that passed between
them were in no wise like the words that have
been used by some Of the Rev. Divines on
that consecrated spot Kunsman plead that
he was not fully ready for trial and heiwas
held under 5000 bail for his appearance
before the justice in two weeks from that
date.

tSERIOUS ACCIDENT.
a Boys Dangerous Fall From the
Brandy wine Suspension Bridge at
tyu jpnn.s Hanks.

Saturday afternoon about s O'Clock
little boy six years old named Charles
fully son of Patrick FULLY fell from the
railing Of the iron suspension bridge over
the Bramiywine at DuPonts banks and
received serious injuries.
lie was sitting on the railing near the
end of the bridge, and attempted to spit
into the creek, when he lost his balance
and fell, alighting upon some rocks on
the bank of the creek. The distance
from the bridge to the bank is about ~
feet, and it is a marvel that the boy was
not killed outright. As it was he was
very seriously hurt. His head was badly
cut and he was otherwise injured though
not dangerously. lie was picked up i'll
an unconscious condition by a boy named
Charles Russell, and taken to his fathers
house ON the banks, and DIR. Chandler of
Centreville being summoned dressed the
wounds. This morning the boy is con-
scious, and is in Il fair way to recover.
About year ago the same boy fell
from the same bridge, from about the
centre, dropping distance of so feet into
deep water. He was rescued by boy,
but this experience did not seem to cure
him OF his passion for sitting outside the
railing. Probably his fall of Saturday
may have a more salutary effect.

struck by a Shifter.

The narrow escapes of drunken men
are sometimes little short of miraculous.
Early yesterday morning an intoxicated
Browntown negro, named Edward Biddle,
while staggering among the p, W. 4 B.
tracks at the west yard, was struck by a
shifting engine, which after running over
him to some extent tumbled him outside
of the rails. When the engine was
stopped, Biddle was found lying beside
the track, with some bruises and cuts on
his body and the fingers of his left hand
crushed. He was placed on the engine
and brought to the depot. On his arrival
there he was able to walk and there was
not much for the physician, DR.. Kane, to
do except to amputate three of the
crushed fingers.

The alarm of fire about 2 O'Clock Friday
morning was caused by the burning of
Robert +. Lynam's barn, just beyond
Newport. The fire department turned
out but perceiving that the fire was too
distant to make it possible for it to be of
any service returned to their engine
houses. The barn burned entirely to the
ground, and there was consumed 500
bushels of wheat, three pigs, all of the
farming utensils, including valuable
drill. The horses and cattle were gotten
out of the burning building uninjured.
The loss is not stated.

The Rain.

A heavy shower commenced between
II and o'clock Monday morning and con-
tinued for over ali hour. 1t not only
visited this city, but extended for some
distance down the State. 1t rained very
hard at Middletown and Townsend, but
below that point decreased in volume,
being very light at Harrington and ceas-
ing below that place. The rain was
heartily welcomed by the farmers, as it
was badly needed for the corn, the ground
having become very dry. The farmers
below Dover, however, are not so happy.
The bulk of the strawberry crop is below
that point, and is badly in need of rain.

THE NEW TERSION.


A dispatch from London says that the
revised version of the New Testament has
been issued to the public. The title page
reads 1.-The New Testament, translated out
of the Greek, being the version set forth i'll
1911 compared with the most ancient author
tiles and revised i'll 1851"
Concerning the suggestions OF the American
Revision Committee, which, the dispatch says,
are appended to the volume the London
Daiiy Ne,cS remarks ''lhey will be found
to form II large and interesting collection OF
various renderings, such as the American
revisers prefer and have recommended I'M
successfully to the English company, The
English student will by no means concur with
the Americans in all points, but he will find,
nevertheless, ample proof of thought and
care as well at of sound learning on the Amer
lean side. In many cases We are persuaded
that the English revisers would have done
well if they had paid more attention to them.
Bishop Lee, in conversation with repre-
sentative of EVERY EVENING, this morning,
said that the remarks OF the Daily Ne,rS cou-
vey a wrong impression, in that they appear
to Indicate that the suggestions of the Ameri-
can revisers were rejected altogether.
whereas the truth lis that they were listened
to with marked attention upon all matters
bearing upon the revision, and of the various
individual suggestions finally adopted quite
as many came from them III from the other
reyisers. Further than To correct the i'm
preston conveyed by the statement of the
Ne,cs the Bishop said he did not desire to say
anything upon the subject. The new work
would be out III q few days, in fact il due
now, and as there is to be issued shortly an
authorized history of the revision by Dr.
Schaff, every one can then for himself
exactly what the revisers have done aud why
they did it.
