CAPT. WIN. OLIVER, of Wessop,
writes to Judge E. q. Peyton, OF
Hazlehurst, under date of May End,
regarding his experience with Ger
man Carp:
Replying to yours of the 1st inst,
1 did not see the German Carp that
was killed in our pond about two
weeks ago, but several of our opera
tives who are reliable men, say that
they weighed and measured it and
found it weighed 15lbs gross and
measured p feet. The Carp were
ordered from S. F. Baird, U. S. Com
missioner, at Washington on Nov.
9Th, 1881, and were received here on
Nov. 18th, 1881, and were from 3 to 4
inches in length. About doz. OF
them came in a gallon bucket.
Those who ate the fish say it was as
fine as trout.

"srhe HorrId tsranger."

In compliance with the request of
The Cliborne county Changers, we
publish in another column Of. to-
days paper, the resolutions passed
by them st their last months meet
ing. These resolutions were not
cold, before they and their authors
met with a vast amount Of adverst
criticism from a portion of the Demo.
cratic press Of the State The idea
Of Granger making a political sug-
gestion has been sec tied and ridi-
cu!ed as the supremest height of pre-
sumption. and the man who runs
the ag icultural interests of this
State, commanded to take a back
seat with the p1sitivenCss Of imperial
dogmatlsm.
We have read these resolutions
carefully, AMI while We do not coin
eide with a number of them, yet We
fail to see any eau sc for the whole
sale and heroic style Of denuncia-
ton either of them or the men who
promulg It'd them. That the Gran
gers have the right t. speak and
should speak in their organized ca
plcity as to what they deem best in
the way of legislation FIR the ad-
vancement oftheir own and the pIb-i
lie good, IS a proposition no fair-mini,
cd man will deny. Watcher the
D m pcratic party will, or will not,
adopt the sug ,cstions of the Gran
gers,is another and different question,
and one which the party can decide
when it CONES to speak for itself.
We do not forget that the Gran
gers have already taken the lead in
this State in some # the most I'm
portant public measures OF the past
ten years, and it is in rather bad
taste, to say the least of it, for few
spokesmen Of the
Democratic patty TO decry their Ell
forts at this late day simply because
they are Changers. The 1st, 4th,
9Th and It'll, resolutions, ajority
of the Democratic party is supposed
to be already agreed upon. The
End, 3rd, 9th anil 1lth, have long
been subjects of varied discussion and
diverse views within the party
ranks and the Sth, 9th, and 10th,
are matters which directly concern
the Changers Themselves and the
farmers at largr, and deserve from
them the most serious consideration.
Giving the eleven resolutions the
sensible, logical construction, they
are entitled to, we fail to see any
thing so awfully awful either about
them or the act of the Changers
adopting them.
We think the serious mistake
the Claiborne county Grange made
was IN adopting the resolution de-
handing that candidates should
stand upon its platform. In doing
this, to adopt the language of an
esteemed contemporary, lit enters the
market as faction and offers its
vote and influence to one of the two
acknowledged political organizations
in the State that will adopt its meas
ures and incorporate it's expelients
into its platform" 1t would have
been time enough for such an ulti-
matum when the Democratic party,
in its official capacity, had
passed upon and repudiated the doc
trines set forth, thing by no means
certain.

The first building to go up in Beau
regard after the cyclone was a drink
ing saloon. AS if the terrible
ravage Of that fearful scourage
had not entailed enough misery
and suffering among this un-
fortunate people, the devil through
this agency insinuates himself into
their midst to finish the work of de-
struction left undone by the great
storm. A saloon raising its smiling
front while all else around is one
sad scene of sorrow and DISSOLUTION
1t looks almost like invading the
sacred precincts of the dead for the
purpose of dealing out damnation to
the few stricken souls who may come
to pay last sad tribute to departed

Dover.
DOVER DEL, March 4, 1883.-Mr.
EnOch Crouch, and old resident OF this
town, died at his home on Lockerman
street, near the depot, between II and u
o'clock this morning, after brief ILL
ness. Deceased was about 70 years of
age and highly respected by all who
knew him.
About the year 1870 Mr.. Crouch was
appointed route agent on the Delaware
Railroad, to succeed his brother, the
late Isaac L. Crouch, who resigned at
that time to take the position Of Super
intendent Of the New Castle County
AlmshCuse. The appointment WAS
made by General Cresswell,
and was held by the deceased until
about eighteen months ago, when he
was compelled to resign by reason of
ill health, and was succeeded by Thomas
:. Harper, who occupied the position
but short time when he died, after
which Grover Smith was appointed and
now holds the position.
About three years ago Mr.. Crouch re-
ceived serious in, uries while performing
his duties Oh the train, caused hy the
Delaware train leaving the main track
and rolliding with another train on a
side track at Lamokin station, since
which time he has never fully recovered
and his death, no doubt, was partly due
to the injuries thus received. He re-
covered, however, sufficiently to again
enter upon his duties, but about two
