| On Friday last railroad employee
at Clayton so far forgot himself as
to be very loud in his denunciatiOns of
General Grantand strongly condemned
the manifestations of respect and honor
that was being done him in the drap-
ing of the railroad Office at this point.
He seemed exasperated by the reports
contained in the daily press of the
homage that the Nation was paying
this dead hero, and gave much pub
licity in a parading and bOastful way
to his opinions. 1t is hard to believe
that there is in our community man
holding such views, and still more diff
cult is it to believe that there is one so
thoroughly un-American as, at a time
like this, when the Nation stands with
bowed head DER the corpse of its great
est hero, to parade such sentiments
even though he may have them.
CHARLES PoTTs, "a colored man about
fifty years old who has been living with
DIR. Daniel for the past seven or eight
years, died very suddenly earlyTuesday
morning He had been in very poor
health for several months, but was
able all the while to attend to his work.
On Monday night last he was down town
cOnversing with his friends and doing
his usual errands, going home about
half-past nine o'clock. He said to his
wife on retiring that he never felt worse
in his life, this remark however Occa-
stoned no alarm. About one o'clock
in the night he was seized with an
attack of violent vomiting which pro-
duced a hemOrhage of the lungs caus-
ing instant death. He had been a suf-
ferer from pulmonary trouble for years.
Charles was an industrious, sober. quiet.
inOffensive man. A trusted and trust
worthy servant and good citizen.
THIS is the season of the year that
populariZeS fishing excursions, and to
be good angler is by no means pre-
requisite to the joining such an excur-
sion. On Monday morning party of
SIX of our tOWnsmen, Joseph +. Carter.
Frank 5. Pratt, WaltcrT. Massey, John
Wood, John Patterson and John Man
nering, left for IL two weeks cruise
down the bay on William Walkers
yacht Mary Ann. Frank Pratt is the
sailing master, indeed the only sailorof
the party. When the BOYS return
marvellous stories of what the briny
deep contains may be expected. This
is painting" party and the "art of
coIoring" will hardly be wanting in
the accounts that they may give of
things seen and done. The small boy
who shall gather round their knees as
they recount the mammoth catches "
they made will know more of fishing
than did his grandfather who sat on "a
log and angled for Il living When the
boys return the air doubtless will be
redOlent with the odor of fresh fish fry
ing and every fellow in town will, for
the time ut least, be sorry thathe is not
closely connected with some or all of
the party.

Change Of Postmaster.

On Thursday last our town was Oc-
cupied by two items of news of general
interest, one national, the death of
ex-President Grant; and the other
local, the appointment of John II.
Bewley postmaster in the placeOf VIM.
II. Baggs, the commission of the latter
having three years yet to run. Neither
were unexpected, and yet such changes
by death or otherwise are never with
out the element of surprise the end of
an existence or regime, a vacuum that
may or may not be filled The change
of postmaster for Smyrna followed close
on the removal Of MARSHALL McMullen
and the appointment of Mr.. NeWlin as
his successor as Marshall for the Dis
trlct of Delaware, the indication being
that the changes in the Federal officers
of our little State will follow each
other IN quick succession. Mr.. Baggs
has held the Office of postmaster in this
town for ten years, succeeding the late
Thomas CaTow, during which time
the duties of the Office have been adj
ministered with signal efficiency and
satisfaction. In fact, it is difficult t.
conceive in the various characters To
NC-ll WIN ttuu luc NGAdIlOnS IlaI nee
essarily belong to discharge of its du-
ties, how anyone could get along dav
by day and year by year, without dis
turbing the equanimity Of some one.
If there has been any complaint of
curtness, or an indispositon to oblige
we have not heard it. The change is
simply pOitical-to the victors belong
the spoils-and as such is understood
and acquiesced in. Mr.. Bewlev. who
succeeds to the Office is one of our best
known citizens, for more than forty
years leader in public business and
politics and as member Of the Demo-
cratic party, one of its indefatigable
workers, who, when faithful services
are taken into account, has fairly
" won his spurs" II a long business
experience requiring tact and industry
is OF any account, Mr.. Bcwlev oup6t
to be well qualified, and we have no
question but that he will do his very
best to fill the Office in Il satisfactory
manner to the many peoplc.who daily
apply to it for mail matter and to trans
nit money.

Quinn-WilsOn.

The gossips of the town have again
been caught mapping, the marriage of
two of our young folk occurring with
out their knowledge. On Saturday
afternoon last, J. Edward Quinn, fore
man of the Record Office, played with
the Smyrna nine in the game of base
ball at MiddletOwn. One of the pas
sengers for Philadelphia from this
place, on the afternoon train of that
day was Miss H. Adelia Wilson,
daughter of Alex. II. Wilson. At Mid
dletOwn Miss Wilson was joined by
Mr.. QUINN whence they proceeded to
the home of her sister, Mrs w. B.
Sanders, of Philadel phia. And the
next day, Sunday, according to ar
rangements made and perfected here
at the home of the bride and with the
knowledge and full consent of all par
ties interested, were married by the
Rev. G. G. Rakestraw in her sisters
home. They returned to Smyrna on
Monday evening and during the even
ing were given a delightful serenade
by the cOlOred band. Mr.. Wilson says
the hardest work he ever did was the
keeping of this secret; that he had
rather chase a wild steer for the same
length Of time than to again suffer such

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com

accomplished what they have long
sought and what the people living
within reach of this road have long

be Of the highest benefit to the people
