A rival of Rip Van Wrinkle has Just
risen to in Worcester county, three miles
from Snow Hill Md. On Thursday last
Levin Newton, small farmer of good
repute, disappeared from his home His
family, knowing that he had made many
enemies on account of his opposition to
the fiye-acrC oyster-bed law, which gives
citizens the right to take up oyster beds
for private Use, feared that he had been
murdered. A rigid search was made for
him and he was given up for dead.
Late on Sunday afternoon Il neighbor
went into NewtOn's barn to feed the
horses and cattle, and to his astonish-
ment noticed the missing man stretched
out at full length on his back on the top
of the hay. lie was sleeping soundly,
and only awokc after being vigorously
shaken. Newton exhibited no surprise
when awakened, simply saying, Wei,
John, is it late ? lie evidently thought
that he had been sleeping but an hour or
so.
Inquiry showed that Newton rose at
six o'clock on Thursday morning, after
sleeping from ten o'clock the night before
He went TO the barn, where he fed his
horses. Feeling drowsy, he says, he laid
down on the hay.
don't remember anything more, he
remarked to-day, until neighbor John
called me | then thought | had been
asleep but an hour at most.
Newton's sleep extended from 10 y. m.
Wednesday until H. M. Thursday and
from am, one hour later until > 3Opm.
Sunday Excepting the hour on Thurs
day morning he was asleep ninety hours
and thirty minutes, the longest natural
sleep known to physicians in this State.
All suspicion that Newton's sleep was
due to alcoholism is removed by his own
and his neighbors' solemn observations
that he is strictly temperate and has not
touched a drop Of liquor since he served
in Lees army. Physicians are at loss
to account for the phenomenal sleep.
Newton seems utterly bawidered by his
temporary removal from active life and
says that he cannot catch up with time
He has promised himself never to sleer
again anywhere but in his own house
and has made his wife promise to wake
him up regularly every morning.-Times

THE coming Fair of the Cecil
County Agricultural Society, to be
held at Elkton, Md, June I'd, 3rd,
and 4th, is claiming the attention of
farmers and others generally. Every
arrangement is about completed,
although some time elapses before
the event comes off, The managers
are working with renewed will,
and are not losing sight of the fact
that to make the meeting doubly
successful, every moment must be
wisely given TO important details.
The Elkton papers have not been as
energetic about the thing as they
should, but that they will yet be,
we have but little doubt. This is
the first attempt at holding n Spring
Fair ut the grounds, and although it
is but an experiment, we know that
it will be a grand success if all intel
ested will but pull together. 1t is
not only beneficial to Cecil County
but to Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Stock-raisers from the two named
States have added much to the
value of their stock by exhibiting
at the Cecil County Fair and win
ming first premiums. Nor is this all.
Agricultural implements of every
make and description are exhibited,
and this gives the farmer the very
best opportunity of selecting what
he actually wants, as most of the
machinery makes practical tests on
the ground. All this and more goes
to prove the ACCESSIBILITY of n Spring
Fair. The contests of speed will be
a drawing card, and there will be
represented on this occasion some
superb trotters and runners-to the
satisfaction and delight of thou
sands. Let all work be accomplish
ed before that time, and let every
farmer take his family and enjoy
season Of recreation and profit.

SATURDAY, MAY is, 1885.


"A TEMPEST in teapot" said one
of the College trustees as he took his
departure from Newark on Tuesday
last. This is fast becoming the gem
eral opinion.
The idea of a Legislature commit
tee after a visit of two hours to the
College building undertaking to
suggest to the Board of Trustees II
removal of members of the Faculty
is supremely ridiculous! The mis-
sion Of that committee was to as
certain whether the building needed
repairs and what amount Of appro-
priation was required. This was
the business of the committee and
it should have attended to that and
nothing more.
As to the talk against the Prcsi-
dent of the College, it may be sum-
med up in this wise 1t is admitted
that he is a good disciplinarian, for
the students are quiet and orderly.
1t is, also, conceded ON all hands
that he is thoroughly competent to
teach the branches of learning as
signed to him and that his pupils
make rapid progress under his in
struction; but it is said he lacks
executive ability, or, in other words,
he lacks the ability without money
to make an old rickety building
look like a new one. This is the
matter in nutshell.
1t is probable, however, that some
good will grow out of this agitation.
The Board has appointed an excel
lent committee to take into consid-
Grafton the Encouragement of studies
and the appropriate assignment of
the members of the Faculty with
proper salaries.
Certainly it is a great deal better
to have fewer men and pay them
better. We agree with the Morning
News in thinking that this is, after
all, the most important work the
Trustees have to do.

THE appointment of Mr.. Groves
to be superintendent of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing makes
the mugwumps happy. Groves is a
thorough mugwump, and hence the
bureau will be mugwump. Some of
the Democrats were struck so hard
that they have not fully recovered
yet. The bureau has over 1900
employees on the pay roll. Groves
is a Republican and civil service
reformer, and through Secretary
Manning's instance was appointed
to the position. 1t affords many
advantages to those who desire to
enlarge their salary by pickings.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has been
called upon by prominent Demo-
Gratis in regard to not making APP
pointments fast enough. The Presi-
dent who thoroughly understands
the ms and outs of appointments,
stands to what he thinks is just,
and all the talk used cannot move
him. The callers have been so
numerous that the hours of the
President and Cabinet officers are
shortened, and the result is that but
little can be done. In short time
no doubt things will move swift
enough for everybody.

THERE has been considerable bal
dcrdash exploded about "supposedo

there is much ado about nothing"
How often it is that little things of
no special Importance, are taken up
by disintcrcstcd persons and in
fiated with meaningless nonsense.
All this tends to have Lad inAu-
encc on the minds of many of
those unacquainted with the facts
IN the case. Heretofore the Trus-
tees OF the College residing outside
OF this town, have not been as ac-
tive in the matter Of boosting up the
institution and otherwise throwing
out wholesome influence as they
might. These gentlemen intend to
take Il more active part hereafter,
and this being a fact, we may look
for still better results for the time
