The heavy northwest wind on Wed

The heavy northwest wind on We'd
nesday blew the water out of the riv-
er and bay and caused a lower tide
than has been known for sometime.
Although is was time for high water
between 1 and 2 p. NJ. yet the water
on shore was not much higher than an
ordinary low water, at which time
the shad tug Schaubel grounded sever
al feet from the wharf. The Reyb1ld
on her down trip did not attempt to
land, and the Mccall on her afternoon
return trips from Wilmington could
not land so she went over on the flats
until the tide rose at night high enough
to allow her to land. The low tide in
the evening about S O'Clock was very
low. The barge load of sunken oyster
shells ON the upper side OF the pier
were SO bare that many could have
been carted away with u horse and
cart. The Cove bar was bare to the
Channel aad persons walked OUT on it
far beyond the points. 1t will be AN
incident long TO be remembered.

A recent dispatch from Denison,
Texas, says: 1.-THE principle of woman's rights
sustained an ignoble defeat here after an
heroic onslaught. Three maiden sisters
named Cash, of mature years. reside ON a
street that is being repaired and graded.
They objected to any work being done in
front of their premises, as they had no voice
in ordering the Improvement. This after
noon, while the street boss and his laborers
were at work in front of the Cash residence,
the three maiden sisters came out and
assaulted the workmen with rocks, put
ting over dozen brawny men to flight
The City Marshal and two policemen then es-
sayed to protect the men while they return
ed to work, but the irate sisters were equal
to the emergency, for this time they sailed
forth with two old pistols and a garden hoe.
The chivalric Marshal and his aids hastily
retreated before the foe, and again the work
men were severely pelted with rocks, and
fled. Calling re-enforcements, the Marshal
rallied his men and finally captured the
Amazons and landed them in the calaboose,

Took Part In Perry's Victory.

A. Il. Al. Fitzsimmons, of Reading,
writes to the Detroit Free Press as follows:
I'm your issue of day you give an in
terview with a gentleman who claims he
saw the engagement on Lake Erie, known
as 'Perry's Victory. There is now living
in the Township of California, Branch
County, this State. Mr.. Alexander Odren,
who was in the battle under Commodore
Barclay, and was taken a prisoner by
Perry's forces at that battle. Mr.. Odren is
of French descent, lived in Detroit at the
time, was over in Canada with two other
young men, and was arrested and pressed
into the British service. After the battle
he was taken as prisoner to Erie, where
he enlisted in our army and served until
the close of the war. He is now q PEN
sioner at So per month for such services.
After the war Mr.. Odren returned to De-
troit, and owned ten acres of land at or near
where the City Hall now stands. which he
sold in 1886 for $40 per acre and bought
the land on which he now lives, having
moved on il in 1887. He has lived there
continuously since. Mr.. Odren is SO years
old, is active aud intelligent, and relates
the old scenes of those days as If they were
of but yesterday. Nothing delights him
more than to get with some Frenchman
with whom he can talk in the language of
his boyhood. His wife is still living and
also enjoying good health, although she has
been blind for a number of years. They
have raised large family of children, most
of whom live near them"
