Registrar Frazer Relates the Incidents OF
Trip to His hoy hoods Home.
To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE:-I paid
a visit to old hlasgow yesterday, and found
my aged parents enjoying good health. The
day was delightful and the farmers on each
side OF the road for ID miles looked prosper
Gus and thrifty From present appearances
there will he a large yield of corn, and the
potato crop is abundant; so the farmer is
safe for next winter. Labor is scarce and
both male and female day hands receive
81 .25 per day and board. 1t is next to an
impOssibility to get help In the kitchen.
The Methodists are building new frame
church on the place where the old one stood.
1t has not been many years since this one
just torn down was built, but 1t was built
of bricks made Of sal d and some kind of
cement which dried In the sun. So 1t has
been proven that sandy foundation will
not stand. This experience has taught our
Methodist brethren to "build upon a rock :"
as commanded. 1t is to be hoped they will
succeed in SO doing. They worship now In the
Presby yterian church, Sunday afternoons
While breathing the pure air of old Pen
cader hundred my mind was carried back to
my boyhood days, aud OF the people who
lived happily and contented In this good
country. Many are here yet, but their
children have sought other parts, far away

honest names of Boulden, Biggs, Cam,

These are all Den ccratic names, have been,

have helped shape the laws of our noble
little State. Other names are to be found
in this hundred worthy of note. They are
the Ferrises, Eilisons, Coziers, Stewards,
Dayatt, Clark, Alrichs, Tindell and McIn-

All along the road could be seen the col
ored ladies and gentlemen in hired buggies,
going to camp meeting near the Summit
Bridge. They were as happy as, and more
so than, President Arthur and his party on
their jaunt. These colored people were enjoy
ing themselves, as they had right to do
even If 1t did cost four dollars day for eacn

Returned Home Yesterday.

Department Commander Daniel Ross re-
turned from Denver, Colorado, yesterday
morning, thoroughly delighted with his
trip. The parade in Denver, ne states, was
much smaller than that In Baltimore, in
June, 1882, but that the reception was yer,
hearty and everything possible was done for
the entertainment of the visitors. The ses-
sion of the encampment was busy and en-
thusiastic one throughout. He brought
home one of the solid silver medals pre-
sented to every member of The encampment
present, as memento of the occasion, be-
sides a lot of relics from the mines and
other places of interest that he visited. The
entire trip occupied seventeen days.

Accidentally Cut.

About II o'clock Saturday night two
colored men became engaged in a friendly
dispute over some small matter at Front
and Market street. One of them had an
open knife In his hand and during the dis
cussion he attempted to show the other fel-
low the height of point in question at the
same time making move with the hand in
which the knife was held. In some unac-
countable manner the blade came in contact
with the leg of his hearer and the result was
an ugly cut on the thigh about three inches
long. The injury was attended by ply
sician when the two friends journeyed to-
ward their home.

SECOND INNING.
AN INTERESTING CASE.
Hitch Between Squire Cole and Counsel
for q Party Tried Before Him.


for q Party Tried Before Him.
A hitch occurred Saturday between Squire
Cole and Walter Bacon, Esq, attorney for
Sarah J. Tabb, which caused considerable
argument on both sides as to the jurisdic-
tion OF squire in case OF assault and bat
terry ard the right of squire to impose a
sentence.
The facts of the case were very plain and
were to the effect that Sarah j. Tabb had
assaulted William Frisny by throwing
missiles of various kinds at him, sever4l of
which struck him. Nine witnesses were
heard and two hours were consumed in
hearing the evidence, after which the Squire
fined the woman So and costs and named
the sum of 5000 as the amount of the peace
bond. The woman refused to pay the fine
and costs and a commitment was issued and
placed in the hands of Constable Springer
to execute. Her attorney then secured a
writ OF oertiorari, which he presented to the
Squire, who refused to release the prisoner
Deputy Sheriff Griffin was then called upon,
who proceeded to the 'Squire's office and
demand d the release of the prisoner, which
was secured after some delay.
Squire Cole when called upon stated that
he released the prisoner after the proper
method had been employed and that a writ
OF certteri does not release prisoner after
commitment had been issued, and that to
avoid the trouble of getting writ of
habeas corpus, which was the only instru-
ment that could have made the constable
deliver up his prisoner, he revoked the COM
mitment after the woman had entered bail
for her future behavior. So the matter rests
at present, although Mr. Bacon feels very
much provoked that be was put to the in
convenience and trouble of adopting the
method he did to get the prisoner from the
custody of the constable. While the Squire
holds that he did nothing but his plain duty
and could have done nothing else even if he
SO desired.

The st. Georges Club Wins BAH from the
Chester Climb

A match was played in Chester, on Satur-
day, between the st. Georges Club of this
city and the Chester Club and resulted in
an easy victory for the Wilmington boys,
by one inning and 20 runs. This result
was mainly due to the splendid batting OF
Austin, who made more runs than the
Chester men did in both their innings. He
played faultless game and completely as
tonished the Chester men by hitting the ball
clean over the fence no less than seven times
scoring four runs each time The bowling
and fielding of the ST. Georges were too good
for the home club, and some fine catches
were made by them, notably by Really, Glib
bons and Austin. Full score is as follows:

The World is by far the most conspicu
GUS teacher Of a great public truth which
ought to be as gratifying to journalists
themselves as to the public at large -
namely. that capitalists in the sense in
which Gould Vanderbilt, S,ge and Field
are known by that title cannot conduct
newspapers. That is the one thing that
money cannot do. A newspaper, to be
successful must draw its support from the
public; to deserve and win support, it
must be true to the public interest ana free
from even a suspicion OF control by
public enemies. Capitalists might pur.
chase every existing newspaper in the
country to-day, and tomorrow a trained
Journalist, with good conscience, fair abil-
ity, ana credit fora hand press and a few
reams OF paper. would arise to speak for
the public. and would destroy all the CAPT.
tai put into the organs, and the reason is
so clear that 1t does not need demonstra.
ton. A newspaper is the mouthpiece of
the popular will. When 1t is closed TO the
people and opened only to a iobber, the
that will be heard The his.
tory Of the World, since Mr.. Gould con /.
trolled it, teaches most salutary
lesson. Its editor, Mr.. Hurlburt, is one of
the most gifted and cultivated men in the
profession of journalism. But all this in
tellectual excellence counted for nothing.
Mr.. Gonld was and Is an avowed public
enemy. and the World could not be tru sted
His influence cast sinister shadow on the
brightest page our contemporary issued,
and the most innocent and playful para.
graph was regarded with merited suspicion.
Mr. Gould realized that he was not match
for the American people, and has been
drawing out OF his newspaper enterprises as
gracefully as possible.-[ Brooklyn Eagle.
