Mrs. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, wife Of the
" martyred President" died last night at
her home in Springfield, Ill. Mrs. Lincoln
was remarkable only from association with
her distinguished husband, but her suffer

bore with much patience and fortitude,
gained for her the sincere respect and sym

ARABI BEY, 1t is now supposed, intends
moving his forces on Alexandria. and dis
lodging the British troops from that city.
If the Egyptian revolutionist follows up this
policy, the war in Egypt will prove atedious
bush-whacking contest, which may drag
along for months, but will eventually go down
before the superior force aud prowess of the

Dwyer, to get even with his opponent, COM
planned to Justice Lewis who, upon hearing
the evidence required Brewster also TO ap-
pear at court, holding him in 500 bail, and
an other 800 to keep the peace.
"A very narrow escape from serious
accident was made at the Jail crossing, on
Saturday last, about noon by gentleman
driving the butcher wagon of I. T. Ceilings
& son. 1t happened that two trains were
approaching from opposite directions, but
the driver saw but one-the farthest off
and attempted to drive across ahead of it.
Mr.. Morgan, the hagman, was at his post
and struck the horse over the mead with the
flagstaff, making the animal turn short
around. This act alone saved the driver
from being crushed beneath the cars, as the
engine struck the side of the wagon, dam
aging it considerably, throwing the occn-
pant out, and detaching the horse from the
vehicle. The animal jumped the cattle
guard near at hand and ran up the railroad
to Collins lane before it was stopped. 1t
appears that nothing but gates across the
crossings will prevent accidents from oc-
curing at such places, as there are many
persons who insist upon crossing unless
they can see the danger they are exposed to
for themselves.

Burning OF a Dwelling.

On Monday morning last, the family of
Mr.. Peter Hartenstine consisting of his wife
aud six children, made narrow escape
from the the flames, by the burning oftheir
dwelling house, at Whitakers Mills about
two and a half miles from Perryvile in this
county. The fire was discovered by a
neighbor about four clock in the morning,
the flames making such rapid head way, that
Mrs. Hartenstine had barely time to save
herself and children. The building was of
frame, and was consumed so quickly that
neither clothing or furniture We're saved
from destruction. Mr.. Hsrtenstine was
absent from home at the time, being in at
tendance at the funeral of his father in
Pennsylvania. The dwelling house was a
very substantial structure in excellent con-
ditiop, and was owned by Mr.. f.. Whitaker.
Mr.. Hartenstine's loss is very considerable
and very general sympathy is felt for him
throughout that section of the county,
where under the firm name of Hartenstine
s. Moore he has made many friends.

State and County Taxes.

Tax payers who have not yet settled with
the collectors. should do so at once. The
collectors arc now sitting in the several dis
tricts for the last time under appointment
of the Commissioners. Those who fail to
pay now, will most likely have ii clever bill
of interest as well as ,axes to pay when
they do settle. For four months past con-
stant notice has been before the people that
noc is the time to pay. The collectors have
been regularly on hand at the appointed
place, to meet the people and fair discount
has each month been offered for payments
Every one has, therefore, had ample oppor-
tunity and inducement, and those who have
not, and do not now, at the last moment,
come up, may let the matter slip until their
property is advertised for sale as it cert ainly
will be VIXEN the limit of the law has been
reached. Thursday next will be the last
day of the present and last sitting and We
urge all who have not paid the State and
| County, their claims for this year, to do so
on Or before that day.

Sale of Building Lots.

On Saturday last, as previously announc-
ed by posters, the Elkton Building Associ-
alton offered at public sale on the grounds
that are known as the Gilpin'' lots on
west High street. About fifty persons were
present at the sale, the idea being general
that most of the purchasers of lot contem-
plate improving them. Nine of the lots had
so feet front and ran back $50 feet The
first two were sold to Clayton C. Thackery,
for S2l5 and S249, respectively; John Wilk-
inson, another at $50; George A. Lee secur-
ed the next two at S235 and S225; Clinton
Mccullough enc for $3.50; Wm. A Wright
one for 5000; Calvin Merritt another for
S1S5; and James A. Lewis the ninth for
$3.50. The tenth ha' Il front of 40 feet and
was sold to William Witworth for $3.50. A.
p. Shockley was the auctioneer
| Several of the purchasers purpose erect
| ing dwellings upon the lots, which will ma
terially improve that section of our town.
The location is fine and the opportunity
was quickly grasped to secure an excellent
site for home.
| The remainder of the lot fronting on the
railroad, containing All by 100 feet was sold
at private sale, to Palmer c. Strickland and

A Successful Operation.

On Tuesday last, Mrs. Mary Kerr, widow
of Robert Kerr, who was one of the fathers
of Methodisn in Port Deposit, vert to Bal
timore accompaniei by Mr.. Frank 5. Ever.
ist, for the purpose of consulting DIR. Allen
p. Smith with reference to the removal OF a
tumor that tor forty years had been grow
ing upon her lower left arm. When it first
appeared it caused no anxiety, and DIR.
Nathan Smith years ago thought best not
to remove it. This Summer however, il
became painful and seemed to enlarge rapid
1y, and although Mrs. Kerr was over 81
years of age. she determined if her phySi
clan so advised to have it removed. After
consultation the operation was successfully
performed on Thursday, and the old lady to
the qualification of her friends, seems to have
sustained no injury to her nervous system.
Considering Mrs. Kerr's advanced age, her
friends think she has exhibited remarkable
nerve and vitality.

Death of Richard F. BiddIe.

On Saturday last Richard +. Biddle. Il
well known citizen Of this county, died at
his residence near this town of cancer of the
stomach. Although Mr.. Biddle's friends
had for some time past noticed evidences of
his failing health, yet his earl y death was
not generally anticipated. particularly since
he had up to the preceding Wednesday at
tended personally to his business affairs.
Mr.. Biddle was Il member of one of the old
est and most respectable families of the ID
district of this county, its connections by
marriage, extending very widely over that
section OF Cecil and adjoining sections of
Delaware. He was a son Of Spencer Bid
die a well known and prominent citizen o:
Black Creek Neck, and who at one time
represented this county in the State Legis-
lature. Spencer Biddle was married three
times. His first wife was Miss Richardson,
the late Noble Biddle, a half brother of
Richard +. Biddle, having been we believe,
the only child by this wife. Noble Biddle
was a most estimable man and exemplary
citizen, than whom no one stood higher in
eral children, Mrs. Ann T.. K. Bennett of
Chesapeake city, Noble T. BiGdle late STATE
Attorney for Cecil county, now u resident
of California, George Biddle, at one time a
clerk for William Torbert in this town and
now successful business man in Chicago
Mrs. Samuel Alrich, of Glasgow, Delaware,
and Edward Biddle. Richard F. Biddle
was son of Spencer Bd,lle by his second
wife, Miss Ford a daughter of Eichard
Foard of Back Creek Neck. He was born
red Miss Margaret a. Cleland, of Whining
ton, Delaware. One daughter, a very es-
timable lady, who married Robert c. Lewis,
of this town and who died very early in her
married life was the only issue of their mar
riage. David Biddle, Joshua Biddle, and
Louisa Biddle who married George Bouden
of Delaware, generally known as Welsh
Tract George, 10 distinguish him from Geo.
w. Boulden, of Back Creek, also
children of Spencer Biddle by his second
wife. Still another son, Charles Bddle
being son of his third marriage with Miss
Pugh.
Richard +. Biddie was a man of very ac-
tive habits and nntiring industry, the farm
on which he resided being one Of the most
productive properties in this vicinity. His
funeral services We're conducted at his late
residence, his remains being taken to VIII

Death OF Mr.. Sluyter.

On Wednesday last, BENJAMIN +. Sluyter
formerly prominent citizen of this county,
died from congestive chill in Washington
where for some time past lie has resided.
Mr.. Sluyter was Il genial and amiable man,
and at one time was quite active in the Dem
ocratic politics of his section of the county.
His ancestors were among the early settlers
of Bohemia Manor, and are frequently men
toned in the Old grants ofland from Angus
tin Herman, the property on Bohemia Man
on which Mr.. Sluyter resided until within n
few yeats past, having been held by several
successive generations of his family. Mr.
Sluyter was married twice, his first wife
a sister OF Agustus Rowland, dieu but Il
few years ago, leaving no children. Mr..
Sluyter after the death Of his irst wife re-
moved from his property on Bohemia Manor
to Chesapeake City, where he married II
second time the widow of George Bryan,
from which place he subsequently removed
to Washington, where he has recently resd-
ed. His remains will be brought from

Death of Mr.. Lake.

On Friday morning Of last week, Eenben
Lake, an old citizen of this county, and one
of its best men, died in his eighty-iirst year
at his home near Back Creek Mills. Several
respected sons survive Mr.. Lake in whom
they had an honored father. He was man
always in earnest, and believing thoroughly
in whatever he assumed to believe and act
on. In his politics, his business and his re-
ligion the case was the same. He was in
every sense an industrious, sober, and hon
est man. Uprigh: and just in his dealings
with his feiowmen a good citizen: a lover
of bis country and it's institutions; true
friend to the poor and needy: always ready
and willing to do good whenever opporsuni-
ty afforded; a terror to evil-doers: a good
husband, father and neigl,bor: and every
quality that goes to make up the true man,
was fully developed in him.
