Chol1ed TO Death


A little cOlored girl six years old
named Clara Wallace, living with her
grandmother, near the State road,
three miles south of this town, met
with her death in a singular manner
on Monday afternoon. She, with
smaller children were playing in the
garden when she picked tomato to
eat about the size Of a marble which by
some means got lodged in her throat.
She ran into the house and threw her
self in her grandmother's lap, unable
to speak. One of the other children
followed and told what was the matter,
but the fruit could not be dislodged
and she soon expired. The circum-
stances were explained to Esquire
Colt who gave a permit for her burial.

Wonderfully IEortnnate.

For the past six or seven weeks Clay
ton has been a busy mart, a railroad
centre, and the shipping place of fruit
for large area of country. The re-
markable fact to record is that notwith-
standing there would be sometimes
five and six engines there, running up
and down the track and changing cars,
and many loaded and empty wagons,
attached to horses and mules, that are
only occasionally brought in contact
with the snOrting iron horse" not a
single accident has happened during
the season to any one engaged in the
trade. This good result is, doubtless.
largely attributable to the fact that the
railroad company had a flagman sta
toned at the principal crossing. A
business man tells us that he has seen
instances where there would have been
a serious accident, and perhaps loss of
life, but for the services of the fagman.

WHEN the Democratic Legislature Of
Delaware was passing the iniquitous
assessment laws to enable assessors and
collectors to disfranchise Republicans,
Mr.. Bayard found time to revise the
law and make suggestions to the Legis-
lature to further amend the bill and
make 1t still more effective for the pur-
pose intended. When there was some
danger that local option law would be
passed for Delaware, the Senator's
tongue became unhinged, and one short
letter to member of the Legislature
defeated the bill. We have never heard,
