Several unknown bodies were to have
been removed, which, with grave said to
be that of Amor r. Forward, who was shot
on Main street, about forty years ago. will
close up the work on all known graves upon
this ground.
Considerable interest has been manifested
the operation of removing the dead
from this ground, and number of persons
were constantly present. Much speculation
was INDUCED in in relation to Amor T. For
wards grave, some persons even going so
far as to express determination to search
for the bullet that ended his life There is,
however, no certainty that the grave fixed
on is his, and their search will probably be
in vain. Amor 7. Forward died August 80,

P. NJ; was buried with masonic honors by
Union Lodge, No. AZ, on Friday, September

Death of Henry L. Physick.

This gentleman, member of the Cecil
Bar, died, at his home, near Port De-
post, on Friday evening Of last week.
He has been in delicate health for long
time; in fact, he never was physically
robust. He was a son of Lyttleton
Physick and nephew of the late cele-
brated Philadelphia surgeon, DR.. Philip
T. Physick. Mr.. Physick married about
tour years ago. After being admitted to
the bar, he began the practice of law
here, but the impaired condition of his
health compelled him to relinquish it and
return to the farm. Mr.. Physick was a
man of more than average ability and
affable and pleasing manners, and formed !,
while here, circle of firm friends. His
remains were inferred in the burial
ground on the family homestead. on
Wednesday. The members of the Elk
ton Bar met on Monday, to take action
upon his death.

The Dog Tax.

Tie number of persons who have paid
the dog tax this year is far in excess of
any previous year since the tax was i'm
posed. All who have paid, however,
have done so upon the understanding
that the law will be strictly and impair
TALLY enforced. This, we are assured by
the clerk of the Board of Commissioners,
will be the case, and all who own or har-
Dor dogs will either be compelled to pay
the tax, or. in cases where it is uncol-
lectable, the dog Or dogs will be take a
in charge by the collector and killed.
From the same source we learn that a
number of persons are endeavoring to
evade the law, either by denying that

Burned.

On Tuesday morning last, Miss Clara,
daughter Of James II. Scott, Esq, of this
town, was quite severely burned while at
tempting to start a fire, using coal oil an
aid. She poured the oil upon the wood,
from a cup, not knowing that there was
any fire among the kindling. There was a
spark however, which iguited the coal oil,
and it flashed up into her face so suddenly
that She could not escape it. Her hands
and arms were severely scorchetl, and other
parts We're Il! ,htly touched.

they have dogs Or by pay ing on one Or
two dollar each, while at the same time
they own or harbor number Of 10th
sexes. So far the amount collected from
this source is very gratifying. This mat
ter of dog tax is far more important than
most persons suppose. The public
schools are kept open during a consider
able portion of the year by the revenue
derived from this source; whereas, with
out it, they would during this time be
cloted. Every good citizen will promptly
pay this tax and aid the collectors as far
as they can over this rough and thorny
road.

Don't Step on a Rolling Stone.

That is what Captain Allen of the Fire
Department Of Worcester did, and that
was how he hurt his ankle so badly.
After the doctor set the broken bone,
Captain Allen used Perry Davis's Pain
Killer as liniment. The suffering was
soon over, and the Captain was we'll in a
short time. Knowing the accidents to
which tiremen are constantly subject,
Captain Allen advises everybody con-
nected with Fire Department to keep
a bottle of Pain Killer always on hand.

THE POLITICAL FIELD.
Republican Conventions in New York
and Massachusetts,.
State Convention OF the Maryland De-
mOcracy.
The Candidates Nominated and the Plat
forms Adopted.
Maryland Democrats.

The Democrats of Maryland, in conven-
ton at Baltimore, nominated Robert r
McLane for Governor, and adopted the fol-
lowing platform of principles:
The Democratic party of Maryland, in State
Convention assembled. resolves as follows: The
election for executive officers OF the State, to be
held in November this year, Is of momentous
Importance. because it will determine the policy
and control OF the Legislature of the State until
1883, and will exert decisive influence upon
the vote OF the State at the Presidential election
of 1884.
The declaration OF the election of Hayes and
Wheeler, in 1873, TO the offices OF President and
Vice President of the United States was brought
about by frand contaminated under the forms
OF law; and the methods used in the election of
Garfield and Arthur, in 1880, have been proved
by the creatures who did the evil work TO have
been, II possible, more discreditable than those
adopted by their fellows in 1876.
The National Republican party of the country
has, during its tenure OF fower, made public
lands the spoil of favored corporations. 1t has
squandered the money OF the country by main
tanning horde Of idle, profiigate aud incapable
placemen. Ii has not, during its tenure Of
power in its tariff legislation, given that just
and equal protection to the industries of the
country which IL ought to have afforded, but
has, on the contrary, made the masses Of the
people pay from their earnings enormous boun-
ties TO favored monopolies. IL has broken up
the commerce of the United States in vessels
carrying the national flag. 1t has permitted the
unworthy men who planned and executed the
iiauus pcil ctidcu III Ouc ritSiueutil eiections
of 1876 and 1880 TO deal with the patronage of
the Government and with the public money in
the treasury as II these great trusts were spoils
OF an enemy's camp.
The Democratic Conservative party of this
State will enter into the State and national
campaigns of this and ensuing years with its
whole heart, resting its opinions on national
politics as heretofore upon the express words
OF the tenth amendment 30 the constitution Of
the United States, adopted in 1895: 1.-The pow
ers not delegated to the United States by the
constitution, nor prohibited by it TO the States,
are reserved 10 the States respectively or TO the
people" Il will demand that national taxation,
in all its forms, shall be limited TO such amounts
as are necessary for the economical administ ra-
ton of Government, for the payment OF inter
est upon the public debt and for the redemp-
ton IN each year of a fixed and reasonable pro-
portion Of that debt: it will demand such re-
vision and amendment OF the Federal laws re-
lating to the shipping and carrying of ocean
freights as will restore our merchant marine
TO its former prosperity.

Massachusetts Republicans.

The Republicans of the Bay State met in
convention at Boston, nominated George D.
Robinson. Chicopee lawyer and Harvard
graduate, for Governor on the first ballot,
and unanimously adopted the following res
olutions:
In presenting to Massachusetts, It's candidates
for State Officers the Republican party does not
deem it necessary TO this year offer any formal
statement OF its political principles. Those
principles have been often declared. In nation
al affairs we believe In equal rights and fairly
counted vote; thoroughly pure and reformed
civil service, beyond the reach Of party conflicts
sound currency, based on an honest specie
dollar: a liberal but in wise extmvagant or
wastetul expenditure; a largely reduced taxa
ton, and wise and wellmatured laws 10 pro-
mote and develop American industry and en-
terprise both At heme and on the ocean; we In
dorse the adninist alton Of President Arthur as
wise, conservative and patriotic.
As re4ai DIS State affairs we believe in widely
dciausod education, even higher standard of
Temperance legislation, pure and extended suf-
frage, equal taxation intelligent recognition of
the rights of labor as we'll capital, and we
wosld take no step backward in regard to those
philanthropic, charitable, and educ atonal in
situations in the constant development OF which
our beloved Commonwealth has been ever fore
most. All these things we have many times as
serted, and we appeal TO the gradual and steady
progress Enthusiastically apparent through the
records OF the last quarter OF century, both in
the State and nation, as proof that we have not
asserted in vain. We stand ready 10 assert them
now, and 10 madn ain them also,
While we do not believe in that political char
latanry which makes a business of sham reform,
unfortunately treating great moral and
humanitarian questions, ublic offices, and
public issues "a counters in game, the sole end
Of which Is one mans politi al preferment,
neither can we patiently see methods of political
corruption, unknown here before, introduced
into our State and Municipal Governments.
Unless checked here and now, these methods
will surely bring the politics OF Massachusetts
to level which we have seen elsewhere and
have not been slow TO vigorously denounce.
This year, therefore, the work of reform for us
bFgins at home. The issue IL well understood.
We propose to blot out. in so far as we may, the
record of the most discreditable year in the
history OF the State. 1t il time, not for many
words, but for decisive action. We present,
