Sudden Death.

w. b. Fry, an old citizen and merchant
Of this place, met his death in very sudden
and unexpected manner on Sunday morning
last. He left home in his usual health for his
place Of business, called at the post Once and
a few minutes after was found quite dead.
He had previoarly been subject to epileptic
or apopletic fits ); had had very severe
one some six months ago. He was last seen
by negro boy standing near the door in
the rear of his store, and to fall therefrom q
distance of several feet. The boy at once
gave information to Mr.. Fromme and DR..
Myers near by, who found him lying rs II he
had fallen forward on his head. His neck
was found to have been broken by the fall
which was the immediate cause Of his death;
a at was no doubt the cause of the fall. The
sudden and shocking death Of Mr., Fry was
the leading topic oil day, and much regret
and sympathy for his family, were ex.
pressed. He was native of Giles Co., Va,
and in the prime of life. He was one our
earliest acquaintances inTexas, and We then
and since found in him good neighbor and
friend. He has been living in this and ad-
joining counties since 1856, except while alb
sent in the war. He served with the Terry
Rangers, and was for q while prisoner on
Johnson's Island. He leaves wife and
Ave children, mostly small, 10 mourn
their irreparable loss. In common with this
entire community We deeply sympathize
with them. He was buried on Monday by
the Odd Fellows, of whom he was a member
and his funeral was largely attended.
The attractions at the head of the river,
are better appreciated by the people than
formerly. On Sunday, especially, the
river is fairly alive with bouts, and yet the
supply seems insufficient. There is also on
the large island just across the mill race
ample room for a fine ball or croquet ground,
only q little work being necessary to put II
in order.

senator, Treasurer and auditor.

The caucus 6f the Democratic members Of
the Legislature, last night, renoni-
mated Hon. Eli salisbury for third term
as United States Senator from this State.
John Mitchell Houston Of Dagsborn, Sussex
county, was nominated for State Treasurer,
and Jesse l.. Long of Laurel, Sussex county,
Tor Auditor Of Accounts.
The denomination Of Senator salisbury
had long been regarded as a foregone con
elusion, as whatever Opposition that pre-
vailed against his return TO the Senate
never even rose U the dignity Of open an
tagOnism and failed TO concentrate upon
any individual as a candidate for his sena-
torial seat
For twelve years past Senator salisbury
has ably represented Delaware IN the United
states senate and By close attention to duty
and faithful adherence to the principles of
the party To which he owed his elevation
has reflected credit upon himself and added
lustrr 10 the honorable reputation the little
STATE Of Delaware has enjoyed for years in
the highest legislative body Of the country.
He was an uucompromIsing foe 10 the
jobbery aud corruption that at times dis
graced the period of national leg
isIation. covered by his terms
Of office, and his voice was ever raised
aZains: the constitutional usurpatioIs
which were 50 toully forced upon the people
during the Grant regime until they degener-
ated into the crowning act Of infamy by
which the Presidency Of the Nation was
stolen and the people robbed Of the ruler Of
their choice. In all respects he has been sn
acceptable representative and bis reelection
Will be received with general satisfaction.
The successful nominee for State Treas
wer, John Mitch" Houston, is represented
by his most intimate acquantances as q
gentleman In eycryway qualified for faith
ful performance Of The duties Of this.impori-
ant and responsible position. He is bee,
known in the State at large as power in
Sussex county politics, but this peculiar
ability will IN nowise prevent him iron
making good State Treasurer, whil'
his energetic nature and jovial disposition
will materially teud 70 deyelope him into
capable aud popular oilicia. We wish Mr
Houston success in his new position ant
hope he may never give occasion for regre
at his selection over such thoroughly com
petent candidate as Mr.. Now land Of thi
county.
Jesse l.. Long, the nominee for Audito
Of Accounts, is endorsed by some of the bes
citizens Of Sussex county in such pOsitiv
manner as to leave 10 doubt Of his ability L
make good officer.
Altogether the Legislature did goo
work, even II Sussex county did carry o.

Governor stoekley :. inaugural.

Ths inaugural address Of Governor Stock
ley, which We publish in full in another
part Of to-day's GAZETTE, win be found
very interesting reading, particularly 70 the
citizens Of New Castle County, who are
more directly concerned In one Of the new
Executives leading recommendations
The only portions OF the address touching
upon national questions are those referring
to tariff and Civil Service Reform, and the
views expressed BY the Governor are clearly
10 accordance with those entertained by a
majority Of the people Of this State. No
one viii doubt the pungency Of His Excel
leDcy's reference to the important bearing
Of the tariff upon the great ship-building
interests OF Delaware, while his views upon
Civil Service Will be accepted as timely and
pertinent.
While not suggesting any specific means
Of redress the Governor plainly meets the
question Of increased representation for
New Castle county By an unequiyOcal re-
commendation that the House Of Represen-
tatives be increased to thirty members, dis.
trlbuted fairly and eqNitably between the
three counties, and the Senate 10 1fteeu
members, Eve from each county. The sys-
ten Of Senatorial representation BY
counties instead of upon a basis
Of population Is a wise measure that pre-
walls In many States, aud is in accordance
with the plan of representation in the
Coited States Senate. The suggestion to
accompany this increased representation
with law limiting Legislative sessions 70
sixty days Is also eminently wise aud would
avoid the additional expenses incident 70 an
increase Of the membership Of the General
Assembly.
On the question Of Education the address
also takes advanced ground, and every
friend Of our public school system Will
heartily endorse the recommendation to
largely increase the amount appropriated
ior the support OF our State schools.
The other recommendations, particularly
the one favOring the adoption Of means for
attracting immigration to the State are
practical and wholesome, and altogether the
inaugural Ia calculated 10 command large
share Of public attention throughout the
state.
Governor stockley starts out we'll, and II
he continues in the good path he has ap-
pareutly chosen, the people will never re-
Eret having selected him TO succeed long
line OF worthy predecessors, who ruled the
state wisely and well in years gone By.
