GarfeId's Sayings.

Many of the sayings of the lamented
Garfield display wisdom so profound that
they deserve to be preserved and handed
down to future generations. They will
have place witch the classics in history.
Here are Il few Of them:

Poverty is uncomfortable as | can GER

thing that can happen to Il young man is
to be tossed overheard and compelled to
sink or SWIM for himself.
After the battle of arms comes the bat
tie of history.
We hold reunions, not for the dead, for
there is nothing in all the earth that you
and can do for the dead. They are past
our help and our praise. We can add to
them no glory, we can give them no i'm
mortality. They do not need us, but for
ever more we need them Speech at

Liberty can be safe only when suffrage

A Bank Robbery.

Next to theungratetul thief, who, by invi-
tation, sat at Il gentleman table and pocket
ed his spoons, ranks the light fingered rascal,
who, last week, disgraced the name of guest
by the neanest piece of pilfering that the
Winters record furnishes Mr.. VIM. Alex
ander, of the Fourth district, had invited to
his house a sleighing party, made up of
ladies and gentlemen in the neghborhood.
After the dance was over and the guests
had departed, it was discovered that a small
iron toy bank, usually kept on the mantel
piece, into which the children dropped their
pennies, had been carried off Search was
made, and the missing bank was discovered
i'll the yard, and its contents, over five dol
lars gone, it evidently having been hur-
riedly mashed by stamping on it. Mr.. Henry
Hess, Jr., also lost valuable pair of gloves
on this interesting occasion. The ladies and
gentlemen composing the party are natur-
ally indignant that this sneak thief should
have insinuated himself among them to
perpetrate his petty pilfering.

A Perilous Situation.

On Saturday afternoon last, Fred, a little
boy about nine years of age, son of VIM. r.
Gilpin, Esq, of this town, while on the ice
on the creek, by accident walked into an
opening from which ice had been taken, and
but for timely aid would have drowned
Parties had begun cutting ice at that point
in the morning, but had quit after taking
out one block about three feet wide and
twenty feet long. Into this opening Fred
walked. He chung to the ice and cried at
the top of his voice and fortunately was
heard by Willie Alrich, Il child about the
same age. Willie ran for assistance and
called Mr.. Perry Litzenberg (the first one
he saw who went to the rescue and re-
leased Fred from his perilous situation. 1t
certainly was a narrow escape, as the water
is deep and the current swift at this point,
and it is a mystery first how he got hold Of
the ice and then how he managed to hold on
SO long. So far he has suffered no incon-
| venience from his frigid bath.

Death of Rev. Thomas F. Plummer.

Rev. Thomas L. Pummera local preach
er in the NJ. +. Church, died at his residence
in Wilmington, Del, on Wednesday last,
in the forty fourth year of his age. His last
words were: "Glory. glory. glory! glory! it
is 4 great thing to be able to say glory"
Mr.. Plummer was horn at Greensborongh,
Caroline county, Md, in 1887. He went to
Smyrna and became clerk in the store Of
John II. Bewley. 1t was while living there
that he became converted and joined the
Methodist Church. He afterwards removed
to Wilmington, where he filed several diff
ferent POSITIONS and there conceived the
idea of entering the ministry, and being ac-
cepted on trial, travelled fer some time un-
der the direction of the Presiding Elder.
The districts on the Peninsula not being, as
now, Il separate conference, he was admitted
into the Philadelphia conference of which
the Peninsula was Il part.
During the late war he was consigned to
a charge in Maryland. While many preach
ers in the church sacrificed principles for
support. Mr.. Plummer never flinched. Open
and frequently he was told that if he did
not cease, the church would he burned over
his head. He, however, persisted He con-
tnucd to preach until, warned by unfavor-
able symptoms of pulmonary affection, he,
at his own request, was placed upon the
supernumary list. He became member
of the Grace NJ. E.iChurch, of Wilmington,
while Rev. Alfred Goodman was pastor.
Since then he has served local churches
faithfully. In connection with this work
he conducted an insurance agency, with an
office in the Clayton House, in which bust
ness he was engaged up to the time of his
death. He leaves wife and two children.
His remains were inferred yesterday after
noon, at one o'clock.

The Great Snow Storm.

The heaviest snow storm of the season
and there has been not few of then-be-
gan about 10 o'clock on Monday night. Up
10 Tuesday morning about six inches of
snow had fallen; it continued falling more
or less all day, and up to midnight On
Wednesday the snow had fallen to the
depth of from eight to nine inches. Dur
ing all this time the atmosphere was in
tensely cold, the thermometer reaching three
degrees below zero on Tuesday morning at
daylight, hut that night and Wednesday
morning the climax was capped, the ther
mometer registering eighteen degrees below
zero. Only one night this winter has the
cold been at all near so intense; this was
about three weeks ago, when sixteen below
zero was reached. The skating has been
spoiled, but the sleighing is now excellent
for all who can brave the frosty air of these
moonlight nights. A fact that should not
he forgotten by the rich rs they sit by their
comfortable firesides is, that the colder the
weather the greater the suffering among the
poor, of whom there are Il good many in
our midst. a gift in this direction is Il loan
to the Lord, and the security is certainly
good.

The Case of Brutal Outrage.

William C. Guthrie had a preliminary
hearing before the Mayor of Wilmington,
on Wednesday morning last on the charge
of outraging Anabel Davidson, 4 child but
eight years old. The crime was committed
last November. Guthrie, it is said, tried
in vain to compromise the case with the
mother by an offer of $500 hush-money.
He was pursued by police officers, hut sue
ceetled in making his escape after exchaAg-
ing several shots with his pursuers. Only
a few days since he was arrested in Chicago
aud brought back to Wilmington. The evil
drnc- at the hearing is unfit tor publication;
but it establishes almost beyond doubt that
Guthrie assaulted the child with criminal
intent He made Il very damaging confess
sion to the chief Of police. which was given
in evidence. Rape is Il capital crime in the
State of Delaware, and therefore not baila-
BILE: hut Guthrie's counsel claimed that the
actual commission of the crime had not
been established, and asked that the priS-
oner be released on bail. The Mayor re-
served his decision. Guthrie is forty years
of age He has hitherto been Of good stand
ing, being a master carpenter, and NJ the
time OF his fiigh' he had several important
building contracts on hand. The child Is an
unusually pretty and innocent looking little
girl.

The New Railroad.

The contest now going on at Dover, and
the generally accredited belief that the Bal
timore and Ohio road intends to construct a
new air line between Philadelphia and Bal
timore, are exciting very general interest
throughout the upper sections of Cecil
county. through which the proposed road
will run. 1t is, of course, too early to make
any definite statement as to the eract dircc-
ton in which it will cross this county,
which it will in any event and without
regard to the failure or defeat of the Della
ware Western amendment bill now pend
ing at Dover. 1t is generally conceded that
it will strike Cecil county ut some point be-
tween Port Deposit and Cunowiugo Bridge,
and running very near Carriers Paper Mil,
will reach the Delaware line at Newark.
If this be anything near the contemplated
route, the road will he from three and one
half to four miles due north from Elkton.
1t will cross Hartford county nearer Belair
than it will Elkton.

The Great
Bargain Room
at OAK HALL.

There never was any,
where before, so far as we
know, such a sale of clothing
as is now going on at OAK
HALL, taking up the whole
ground floor. A hundred
thousand dollars worth of
good clothing, nearly all of
it new and fashionable. all of
it well made and Of good
materials without exception
(for we make no other) is
being sold at prices which
bring loss instead of gain.
Clearing sales occur at the
close of every season; but
they commonly are sales of
broken assortments and odd
garments, and of small guam
titles.
Here toward the end of
our most successful season
we are clearing out what
ever, for any cause, has
shown signs of being slow.
Thousands Of whole suits
and overcoats and odd gar
mcnts as well.
Now the sole reason for
selling this mass of valuable
clothing, without even an at
tempt at profit, is that stated
above, which may be put into
different words, thus: To get
our stock into the most at
tractive condition, without
regard to immediate profit.
And SO, while this sale is
going on, the choicest, most
approved, most successful,
clothing VIC have is up stairs.
The prices there are not re-
duccd at all. This sale will
hurt that while it lasts, be-
cause the clothing in the
bargain room is extremely
good For this reason we
want it short; and to make
it short, the prices are low,
Bring back promptly suAat
you don't cant at the Prize.
You can order by letter,
Or buy here, according to
your own convenience. On
receipt of a letter from you,
will send the means of talk
ing your own measure. Then
you can tell US what you
want, near enough so that
we can take the risk of suit
ing you.

Truth Tellers' Society.

We were not aware that there was such
society extant until we, this vesk, met
Mr.. Pierce, of Connecticut, President ef
the Truth TellerS' Society of the United
States and spiritual medium of several
horsepower. Mr.. Pierce states that His
Society was organized many years ago, far
outranking the Freemasons in antiquity.
Methusela was the first president, and held
the Office some 900 years. dying only at the
age of 969 years Oh account Of having told
a lie, the same being the instant fate of any
member departing from the truth. Mr..
Pierce says he is the only member of the
Society, and has of necessity to fill all the
offices, and that life is certain to be pro-
longed until he tells lie. He proposes
organizing branch here. We trust he
may not succeed, as the population of Elk
ton would certainly be diminished thereby.
