s. Douglass Gordon, for some time
foreman of this paper but now editor
and publisher the fredericksburg Courier
made us brief call this week, while on
his way to Baltimore. lie reports the
Courier TO be in healthy condition, and
believes the people are beginning to show
genuine appreciation for frst-class
local newspaper. doug" is a good
fellow and deserves all the success that
the people of Caroline county can give
him.
We had a very pleasant call from
Il, G. Handy, Esq, former editor of this
journal, one day last week. Mr.. H..
informed us that he had been on an
extended pleasure tour to the Allegheny
Mountains, and many other noted places,
which were the scenes Of his earliest
recolleetous. While among the noun
tians he indulged ii trout fishing, deer
hunting, (both kinds,) tackled rattle
snake and killed it, and many other past
times of health. He shows the beneficial
result of his pleasure wanderings in the
way of an addition of about 20 pounds
of solid, sun-browned flesh. Mr.. Handy,
after settling up some business matters,
will except a lucrative position with the
Presbyterian Board of Publication in
Philadelphia.

A Subject for Thought.

The Middletown Transcript in speak
ing OF that towns fire department, says
it is composed of BabcoclS extinguisher
and II Yankee bucket. We don't know,
but we think we lack both these require
ments in case of conhagration, Our town
is to-day without visible means of pro-
lection in case of fire. II should not be,
and by little judicious management. a
protective agency in the way of a hand
or steam fire engine might be procured. i.
These thoughts arc directed to The busi-
ness men of all classes in our town.
Heretofore we have been signally blessed
by the absence of fires, bu! who will
venture q prediction for our safety from
these devOuring elements in the future.
The time to lock the stable door is not
after the horse has been stolen, but,a long
iwhile before. What We are saying is a
act as clear rs elIudless Sky and should
be well pondered. We believe the good
citizens will see the force Of our remarks,
and will consider the advisability of Mt
once working up this matter. Those in
modest circumstances suffer more keenly
the loss by fire than those of their richer
neighbors, as the former suffers the loss
of his all in the burning of his household
goods and effects, while the latter is only
inconvenienced for The time being if over
taken by the same misfortune, This
question must necessarily touch the inter
esis of every man OF this town more or
less, and to that end should he considered
wisely and well. If cur College suddenly
burst into flames, what means have we 10
prevent its speedy destruction 3? Buckets
filed with water and passed from hand
to hand would avail but little, as when
compared to this large building.
We leave The subject to the considera-
--lion of our citizens, and would be pleased
20 hear their views on this matter.

Chas. A. Murphy Dead.

Chas. A. Murphy, who for n number
of years owned and resided on his
splendid farm, north of this town, died at
Appleton, Cecil county, on Monday.
The cause of his death was attributed to
general debility coupled with misfortunes
which he suffered in later years. Mr..
Murphy while on his farm was a great
lover of fine horses, and was very sue
cessful in raising many good ones. After
his farm passed out of his hands, he went
to Baltimore, where he had been engaged
in the stock commission business. Before
reverses overlook him, he was a liberal
donator to the old Catholic Church in
this town, which stood in the spot where
the splendid new edifice is being built.
Mr.. Murphy at his death was not an old
man, being in his 60th year. A widow
and four children are left to mourn their
loss. While at his farm he made many
warm friends, who will be pam to learn
of his sudden taking off. His remains
were inferred at the old Catholic Gene
terry in Wilmington, from the residence
of Patrick honaghan, on Wednesday.
Many friends from here and elsewhere
attended the last sad obsequies OF their
departed friend.
