Fire.

The large and substantial dwelling
house of Mr.. George Hayward, on his
farm about three miles from town, was
totally consumed by fire at an early
hour on Wednesday morning last. Mr..
and Mrs. Hayward had ratired at
about II O'Clock on the night previous,
after having carefully seen that every
thing waslall right down stairs, the fires
put out, etc. About O'Clock Mrs.
II. was awakened. by the cries of her
baby, and Immediately noticed that a
bright hight was shining into the room.
Accusing her husband, she told him
the house was on fire. Mr.. H. quick
ly snatched up some of his garments
and ran down stairs. He found flames
issuing from two places on one side of
the house. Finding that his efforts
would be unavailing to check the de-
'vouring element, he fastened to arouse
the sleeping members of his family,
some of whom were compelled to es-
cape in their underclothes. Messen-
gers we're dispatched to the houses of
the neighbors, and with their assistance
a small PARTON of the furniture in the
parlor was removed from the burning
building. The house being built of
heart pine material, burnt like finder,
and in a short space of time the entire
structure was burnt to the ground.
The fire, fortunately, did not extend
10 any ofthe outbuildings. The house
was we'll furnished, and but a small
portion of the contents was saved,
among that lost being a fine piano,
nearly all of the family's wearing APP
parel, a large quantity of lard, vinegar,
cider, &c. The loss on house and
furniture will probably amount to
$4,000, upon which there was an in
surance of $4,000 in the Cecil Com
pany. The fire was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary. MIR. and Mrs.
Fl. have recently had some trouble
with their colored servants, and it is
but a short time since a mob of ne
groes assailed their house with show
er of bricks, and used the darkness to
cover their escape. No efforts should
be spared by the citizens of this COM
munitY to discover the perpetrators of
this dastardly outrage. With such
diabolical fends living in our midst
no mans life or property is safe, and it
should be the duty of every one of our
citizens, white and colored, to lend
his aid in ferreting out the miscreants
Mr. Hayward has the heartfelt sympa-
thies of this community.

POCOMOKE CITY JOTTINGS.
From the Herald. J

Mrs. Mary Milbourne accidentally
fell last Tuesday and dislocated her
wrist.
A party of engineers started for
Virginia last Friday to work on that
end of the Peninsula Railroad.
MIR. Lycurgus Stevenson, of
egypt" captured the first sturgeon
of the season just above the bridge. 1t
was six feet long.
MIR. J. H. Vincent, our worthy
Postmaster has removed his store and
the Postoffice to the Merrill store house
formerly occupied by Mr.. A, G Mar
shall.
The Pocomoke Phosphate Com.
pany have used up all of their fish and
sold over 2 900 tons this season. They
will soon begin to manufacture for the
fall season.
Since the decision in the Fichtner
case, goods boxes, plowS, etc, have
mysteriously disappeared. Why was
it ever thus? The absence of these
ornaments is perhaps regretted by
some of our citizens.
A colored boy accidentally dis.
charged pistol on tie street in front
of the post Office, and the ball lodged
in the door of that building. The
boy was arrested and fined for carry
ing concealed weapons.

Mr.. Irving Spence informs us that
in one portion of his potato patch a
number of gourd vines came up with
the potatoes, and in that part of the
patch there are no potato bugs, while
in the rest of the patch the bugs are
numerous. 1t might be good plan
for some of our potato growers to
plant a quantity of gourd seed along
with their second crop, as an expert
ment. Snakes, it is well known will
not venture among gourd vines, and
anything which will sicken snake, il
seems to US, ought TO disgust potato

PERSEVERANCE.


swallow in the spring
Came to granary, and meath the caves
Essayed to make nest and there did bring
Wet aarth and straw and leaves.
Day after day she toiled
With patient art, but ere her work crowned,
Some sad mishap the tiny fabric spoiled,
And dashed it to the ground.
She found the ruin wrought,
But not cast down forth from the place she few,
And with her mate fresh earth and grasses brought
And built her nest anew.
But scarcely had she placed
The last soft feather on its ample floor,
When wicked hand, chance again laid waste
And wrought the ruin DER
But still her heart she kept,
And toiled again and last night, hearing calls,
l loooked-and 10 three little swallows slept
Within the earth nado walls.

Hath hope been smitten in Its early DAWN
Have clouds oercast thy purpose, trust, or plan?
