a bright and most pleasing face, with

Our Young Folks.
A CRYSTAL WEDDING.

ATS time for our crystal wedding"
Said Mr.. Frcst to his wife,
That cut like two-edged knife.
d" The North Wind must be invited
To bring his friend from the East.
And none of our friends must be sighted
Or fail to appear at the feast.
So then they began to make really
With speed. regardless of cost.
For the beautiful crystal wedding
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frost.
The North aud the East Wind called for
Miss Snow and old Mister Slcet
And all of that parity together
Were sure to have things complete.
In honor of the occasion,
The houses with fringe they drape,
Rich beads and bugles of crystal
Suspended in every shape.
While all the poles and the chimneys
Were drest IN tran sparent suits,
And the trees were overloaded
With loveliest glazed fruits
The Tclegraphs were invited,
So out OF town couldn't go:
And the Telephones failed to answer
When any one cried Haliol
The magnates were not forgotten,
Who stand In serene repOse,
And Franklin made his appearance,
With an icicle on his nose.
There were acres on acres Of icing,
And wonderful rivers and lakes:
Most beautiful caves and grottoss,
And delicate frosted cakes:
While cobweb curtains suspended
Above the scepe, in mid-air,
Lent a charm to the crystal wedding,
That proved such a grand affair.
Decanters and tImblers, en9raven
With initials of old Jack Frost,
Were scattered about in profusion-
No telling just what they cost;
And / couldn't begin TO number
How many from out of town
Came in to this crystal wedding,
And at the ban Iuet sat down.
Old Sol got wind OF the matter
Just as he was going TO bed,
And out from between the curtains
He suddenly popped his head
And smiled, as with glowing fingers
He took Jack Frost by the ears,
And lOOsened the pearls and diamonds,
That straightway dissolved in tears.
Soon faded the lovely picture,
The'limpid and sparkling sheen,
That seemed, to our raptured vision,
Like unto u fairy scene;
And some will remember the beauty,
And some will remember the cost
OF the wonderful crystal wedding
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frost.

Death of an Old Citizen.

On Tuesday last, Mr. John Campbell, an
old and esteemed citizen of this county, re-
siding a few miles from town, died, after a
lingering illness of bilious typhoid. This
old gentleman was in his 18th year, but an
active man for his years. But short time
before he was taken i'll, he participated ac-
lively in the harvesting, part of the time
driving the reaper horses, and it is thought
by OVERRIDING himself brought on the dis
ease. Deceased leaves a family of grown.
children. His remains were inferred at
Welsh Tract Church, on Chestnut HILL yes
terday. We are requested to say that as
the funeral notices We're issued in haste,
any friends failing to receive such notice
should not ascribe it to neglect on the part
of the family.

A Mixed Case.

Disturbances and quarrels among the
Water streets are frequent, and generally
result in one side or the other making com
plant before a justice and having the other
arrested. y case occurred on Tuesday, III
which each party sustained the character
both of complainant and defendant. In the
first place Charles Francis (colored) swore
out a warrant against Hannah Taylor and
Robert Ann Francis-a strange christian
| name for Il female,-his sister iu-law, charg-
ing them with assault and creating a breach
Of the peace. The testimony showed that
the trouble originated at the house of Rob-
ert Ann, where Charles stayed or boarded,
over couple Of heads OF cabbage, to which
each party laid claim of ownership, but
which Charles managed to stow away at
one hearty meal. 1t was shown that Han
nah acted in a riotous manner and the jus
tice fined her one dollar and costs and dis
missed the charge against Robert Ann.
Afterwards Robert Ann Francis made
complaint aaaiust Charles Francis, char@-
ing him with assault and battery and strik-
! ing her with IA board. This was made be
| fore Justice Lewis The evidence was clear
and convcting, and the Justice fined the
defendant one dollar and costs. This was
not an end of the affair: Charles afterwards
appeared before Squire Scott and charged
( Hannah Taylor with aSSauting him upon

Too Heavily Weighted.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I was travelling through
the End district few days since and
found friend Conrey. the Democratic
candidate for County Commissioner. suf-
fering from the chills. Bnt he will be
shaken up worse on election day than
any chils can shake him. Friend john
you are too heavily weighted Hou can
not carry the little pill doctor into the
collectorship. 1t is too plain to be SEEM
and every one knows that the parties
who are handling you. are doing it for
that purpose and nothing else. It is true
what | heard that "Old Jurisdiction "
told you, that certain men purpose to use
you for their own purposes.
also hear it rumored that friend
Braden is heavily weighted with Aleck
the pearty man. That he will be put in
the hole in the WALL instead of the
Clerks office, in case Braden is success
ful. But there are very grave doubts Of
either of them occupying chairs there.
We think that friend Hess was very
wise when he did not respond to the call
for the campaign fund. He appears to
think that if such heavy weights as John
and Duncan are nominated, that they
will have to furnish their own money;
for, as he very wisely says, he will have
plenty to do to take care of himself
| am sorry to see that our old friend.
Thomas r.. was not nominated, as he
would have opened either Johns OF Dun
cans eyes so wide that they would have
to have been drugged to shut them.
Hy the way, Duncan, how about those
three hundred Democrats that you want
ed kicked out of the party two years
ago! You will have to put on your best
kids and handle them nicely, for you will
lind that they still hold you in remem-
brance. The hard headed spamps. they
will still do as they please. and | am sure
that you will find It SO.

Going for Extra Wages.

On Saturday last Mr. l.ongfelow, the
keeper of the dining rooms at the Fair, Il
resident of Camden, Del, settled up with
his employees, preparatory to leaving for
home. Six Of the men-MoS.s Hart, Geo.
Gordon, Edward Thomas, Alfred McCabe,
w H. Shippers, and J. HutchinSon-who
had acted as walters, and to whom he paid
wages for three days, the time they served
We're dissatisfied, they claiming that, al
though they had worked but three days, he,
Mr.. L., had promised to pay them for four.
This, Mr.. Longtellow denied and refused to
do. The men then proceeded to the office
of Justice Scott and sued out writ of at
tachment in each case, which were served
upon the unfortunate caterer. He appeared
before the justice and the case was heard ut
length, and resulted in a verdict for the
complainant in each case, thus throwing
the costs upon Longtelow, which amounted
TO Sl4.1J, the costs in the case exceeding
the amount in dispute by S3.;;1, the latter
amounting" altogether to but S1l.2j. This
was Il heavy draught upon the old gentle
mans finances and drew upon his profits
very heavily. He ,eft town with no very
exalted idea Of Elkton justice.

That Ok Race.

Possibly nothing that occurred during the

Considerable inquiry has since been made
as to whether these ponies We're trained and

; by the manner in which Mr.. NanOSten, the

contestants. He entered fully into the
