The Proprietary N edfcIne Law.


NEW CASTLE Co., Southwest I
promised you should hear from me
again, / will give you a few more lines
in regard to the drug law, az ! have
been from B!ackmri to the Pannsyl.
vania line above Mill Creek Hundred.
| find the people very much dissatisfied
with DR.. Cooper's bill to regulate the
medic inc are drug law, more particu-
larly persons with small means, as
they would have TO be the sufferers of
such IL law. They say people of means
can go TO the city and get whatever
they wish, but they would have to take
what they Can get, and pay whatever
the doctors and druggists see proper to
charge them, because they cannot help
themselves. l see that DIR. Cooper's
bill is supported by DR.. Black and
forty one other doctors and druggists,
whom | think the passage ofsuch law
would financially benefit. These are
the only ones who would be benefited
by it, but it would be a financial injury
t. 10000 inhabitants of the State of
Delaware, done only to satisfy few
doctors and druggists. And consider
that when the citizens Of the State OF
Delaware wish such law, they will
petition the Legislature to have it pass
ed, but at present they do not see the
need of any such law. IRON HILL.

THIRD EDITION,
Letter from 6assafFas Neck.
COMMUNICABLE

Doubtless there Is number of your
readers who do not know that there Is
in this wide world little spot called
Sassafras Neck. Thinking that we had
remained in obscurity long enough, o
notion has come into my head to give
you few notes about the exceedingly
interesting part OF the country. Sassa-
fras Neck 10, as its name indicates, a
long strip or neck of land about twelve
or fourteen miles long and about six
wide at its widest point. Like penin-
sula 1t ia nearly surrounded by water,
having the Sassafras river on one side,
and Bohemia and Elk rivers on the
other. 1t embraces nearly all of the
first district Of Cecil County. The land
is in . fair state of cultivation. The
farms are large.
do not know of any of less than $50
acres, very few no small as that, while
there are some three or four each con-
tanning 600 acres, and quite number
have 400, 500 and 600 acres. The farm
houses are all comfortable, many OF
them fine residences. The farmers ship
their produce mostly to Baltimore, by
boats running from Georgetown, Fred
ricktown and Cassidy's on the Sassa.
fras, and by Philadelphia boats, stop
are two or three large fisheries on the
Elk river in the lower part of the
ssNeck," and several parties have small
houses or shanties erected along both
the Sassafras and Elk, where they
spend the cunning season, cunning fol
ducks, which come into the river in
large quantities. During the severe
cold weather of the past winter they
left for warmer quarters, but are now
returning, and 1 suppose the gunners
will soon be busy again.
We were favored few days ago by a
visit from two young men from yCuI
city, who, hearing that the ducks wert
coming in again, concluded they would
try their hand at ducking. One OF them
owning q very fine horse, they Grove
down, a istan ce of 81 or 80 miles, ar
irving at their destination about IN
Unfortunately, the cold wave visi et
us about the same time, on account o
which they were not very succesfful
They did not get over a dozen. w
hope they will not get out OF heart bu
will try again.
Quite an amusing incident is told b,
one of them. A chicken found on
morning nearly frozen, was carried il
and laid by the kitchen stove, when
dlbcTWdtub ulcus WI. w.
to go into the kitchen saw it lying ther
cold and stiff in death. They had chick
en- for supper that evening, and immt
diateiy upon taking his seat at III
table, he asked if that was the chicke
that had died. On being told that it Ia
died, he positively refused 10 eat OF j
and no persuasion on the part OF h
host could induce hiin 10 touch II, a
though assured that il wss not IT,
chicken he had seen in the kitchen, an
that it had not died until its head W.
cut off. He chose slice of cold hal
rather than run the risk Of eating
chicken that had died, (query, do yol
citizens eat their chickens alive).

General Grants condition on Tuesday
night was reported by his physician as
follows: 1.-The General had a good
day. He took good deal of food. His
condition is more favorable. His pulse
and temperature are good for a sick
man, His throat looked qnite as well
as usual. The General came down stairs
this evening, and he said he felt like
going out for walk, but of course he
did not. The Generals carriage was
driven around in the afternoon and the
question considered If he should go to
drive, but | advised that the air wa,
keen, and he remained indoors. He
is apparently in better condition thi,
evening than he has been In severa
days"

Another Meeting

Governor Stockley, with the joint
committee of the Legislature and In
surance Commissioners Pratt, met with
DIR. Ogle, the members OF the Levy
Court and Trustees of the Poor yester-
day at the new county building Mt
Hare's Corner, to further consider the
proposition to sell 1t TO the State for an
Insane Asylum. The building was
thoroughly examined, but it Is scarcely
probable that the members from the
lower counties will vote In favor of the
State purchasing 1t.

The best of US are hampered In every
effort at improvement, not alone py
our own faults, but by those OF our
neiphbors. We inhale the moral atmos-
phere around us quite rs surely as natu.
raj air, and the impurity Of the one
will poison the character as certainly
as that OF the other will poison the blood.
Not congratulations, therefore, but deep
regrets should follow the discovery OF
faults and defects In other people, and
If we have not enough sympathy in
least have sufficient reason for regret
on our behalf.
