FIRE AT LAUREL,

A fire broke out Sunday morning at
4 o'clock in Warren Ellis furniture
store. A dwelling near by was soon
on fire and the light southern breeze
waited the cinders to the roof of J. B
Moore's house, occupied by Harry
ErbswehI. Directly Erbswehl's jew
elry store, nearly caught fire, but the
prompt arrival of Messrs Adams & Co.'S
large fire engine, and J. II. Marvil's
smaller one stopped the progress of the
fire, although another house was
within a few feet of the burning build
ings. 1t was feared at one time that
all the buildings, on the north side of
Central avenue, down to the creek,
would be burnedl but the hard work
of the citigens, who turned out in body
supplied the water, and worked the
engines so well for three or four hours,
prevented further damage. Two dwell
lings, two stores, aud two provision
rooms were burned. The entire dam
age does not exceed $1,000, and there
is a partial insurance on it all. The
property burned belonged To VIM. w,
Dashiell, B J. Moore and J. Hubbard.
While Mr. Erbswehl lost some fur
niture, his jewelry was all locked up
in large fire proof safe and was saved.
Jas. Mills lost some provisions and a
small amount of furniture. A tele-
gram was sent to Wilmington for aid
but the order was cOuntermanded be-
fore the firemen left the city.

MR.. w. S. GosLIN has on his farm
just north of town, one of the hand
soonest clover fields we have ever seen.
The clover now stands two feet high
and is very thick. There are twenty
six acres in the field and the clover
stands the same on all but about six
acres. Two tons per acre is what he
expects to harvest. Mr.. G. also has a
twenty acre field of corn that is look
ing well. Eight years ago this farm
was covered with a growth of pine
bushes, briars and sedge, and has been
brought to its present state of prOduc-
tiveness by the judlcious use of ma
nures and good cultivation. Mr.. Cos
lin claims that Orchilla GuanO, which
he has used literally, deserves the
credit for the present fertility of the
land.-'Federalsburgh Courier"

next TO Lowery's Hotel, has lots of
this kind OF customers, and Mr.. d. H.

IMPORTANT CASE SETTLED. - The
case of Thomas c. Hambly, of Phila-
delphia, VS.. the Delaware, Maryland
and Virginia Railroad, which was
called in the United States District
Court before Judge Bradley Tuesday
last, has been settled and withdrawn.
The suit was started in 1880, and was
one of the biggest cases eyer brought
before the court of this district. The
PLAINTIFF Hambly, in 1869 was awarded
the contract for building seventeen
miles of .he Junction and Breakwate
Railroad in Sussex county, and had
sub-let his work to other contractors.
AS the construction of the road had
progressed part way, the company de-
clined to recognize Mr.. Hambly In the
building and dealt directly with the
sub -contractOrs The plaintiff in 1880
sued to recover the profits which lie
could have realized had he been per-
mitted to fnlfH his CONTRACTS, laying
the damages at about Sl5O,0QQ. The
terms of the settlement are not made
public, though it is stated that Mr..
Handy accepted an offer of One-third
of his original claim, Nearly all the
State officers, including the Governor
and Secretary of State, were In attend
ance at court as witnesses, the State
being part owner of the road.
