terprise was highly successful, as al of our
citizens know. AS an oys'er depot, i'm
mense quantities of the bivalves were
brought there and shipped to Baltimore
last winter; and for a summer resort the
place was made equal to any on the bay
or river, and large crowds OF people daily
visited the place the whole of last sum-

to take the matter into their own hands
to protect themselves for the outlay they
had made, and to dispossess the Count en-

as they hid an assignment of the Counts

Death of Julius QuenZel.
Mr.. Julius Quenzel, who was one OF
the oldest inhabitants of Port Tobacco,
died at his home in this village. on We'd
nesday evening about haltpast nine 0 clock
The precise cause of his death is unknown,
but is supposed to have been paralysis
of the heart. He had been complaining
for some weeks of ill-health, though was
not confined to his b d at any time ex-
cept on the day of his death, Mr.. QUEEN
eel was well known to every citizen of
our county who ever visited Port Tobac-
CO, and his memory Will long live among
us. He was German by birth and came
first to this county short time prior to
the lac war, as an itiuerant jewelcr, and
went from house to house repairing clocks,
watches and jewelry. He found this bu-
siness so thriving, that he determined to
settle among Us, and opened jewe'ry and
repairing establishment in this village,
which he conducted, to some extent, up
to the time of his death. Mr.. QuenZeI
was at times an eccentric and irritable
man, out withal had kind and grateful
heart, and Nothing was too irksome or
difficult for him to do for his friends
His loss will be sadly felt by all our CHI
Zens, az d we of Port Tobacco particularly
and our town will be more quiet and lone
ly from the fact that we miss the familiar
form and voice of Julius" Requiescnt in
pace.
