A Dead Body Identified.

On Tuesday the body of the Italian sup
posed to have been murdered, which
was found one day last week about one
and a-half miles from North East, was
identified by 4 young man, who says that
he is the murdered mans son. The body
was exhumed, and the young man says
that he will swear that it is his father,
Antonio Baldo, who has been missing
since last DECEMBER. Baldo had upon
his person at that time two watches and
considerable amount of money. The
son say that he spent $500 looking for
his father. A large, heavy club, with
human hair upon it, was picked up near
the spot where the body was found and
is supposed to be the instrument of
death. Last winter Mr.. Charles Wea-
mon found what is known as Polk
stock gun, such as many of the Italians
own near the place; q hat and two demi.
johns we're also found. The murdered
man kept supply store on the new Bal
tjmore and Philadelphia road. His fel-
low-workmen say that they suspect two
of their number, but will not point them
out.
A railroad ticket for passage from
Wilmington to Chester was found upon
the dead man. 1t was the third ticket
sold on the morning Of November 10,
1884, and had never been used.

A High Time in Chesapeake City

In Chesapeake City, this county, on
Saturday evening last, Thomas Price was
arrested for behaving i'll disorderly
manner while intoxicated on the public
streets. Constable George r. Carpenter
attempted to arrest him at first, but did
not succeed. Ell j. Foard, the newly
elected town bailih, then undertook the
arrest, but, it is charged, was resisted by
Price, who was urged on by crowd of
men. One of the crowd threw a stone,
which struck Baililf Foard Oh the head.
Mr.. Foard then retired to drug store to
have his wounds dressed. During his
absence John Banks, member of the
board of town commissioners, was depu-
tised as an officer, snd succeeded in ar
resting Price and lodging him in the
town lookup. Price was afterwards taken
before n magistrate and fined. The
board Of town commissioners held spe-
cial meeting on Monday morning and de-
cidea to offer reward of $50 for the az
rest and conviction of the person who

THE AILANTHUS TREE.

Mr.. EdH0r:-''Where ignorance is bliss
tits folly to be wise" The first despotic
and arbitrary act of the new board of town
commissioners, clothed with little brief
authority, is to invade the private prem
ises of citizen and cut down valuable
shade-tree that protects the house on
the property from the heat of the sun
during the whole morning, simply be-
cause a few persons complain of the odor
of its blossoms, lasting only for few
days, while they allow hog pens and
other nuisances to be kept, to the dis
comfort of their neighbors aud the caus G
of much sickness. But behind the cause
assigned by this arbitrary act is private
pique on account of the nativity of the
owner of the property and the tenant on
it, not being to tie Nds0n born.
Much aStouishment was expressed by
citizens of the town at the plan pursued
by certain candidates at the recent cleo
tion to secure the necessary number of
votes to elect them. 1t is not necessary
to enter into detail, those for whom this
is meant will understand what we mean.
Now it turns out that the very individ-
ual who made such an onslaught upon
the offending tree maintains one of those
offensive nuisances on his own premises
and wanted to secure all the votes he
could to sustain him. The whole act of
the new board is strong advertisement
indeed to induce strangers to locate here.
One of the Philadelphia papers of last
Tuesday had the following notice: "The
suburban piggeries were cleaned out yes
terday, but the pigs had been taken out
previously. The interesting question,
therefore, is where did the pigs go?'
We would say to Ekton, as an invitation
for visitation of the cholera. Let
us have fair play all around, and no iso-
lated and prejudiced cases.

Death Of MIR. John COODer.

John Cooper, an old and well-known
resident of this county, died on Saturday
last. He was well and favorably known
throughout Cecil and lower Pennsylvania
as the owner OF Gilpin's Falls picnic
grounds and mills, and the romantic
"Gilpin's Rocks" favorite place for
picnic and dancing parties. Mr.. Cooper
was 70 years of age, and leaves three
children, two daughters and one son.
Deceased had by industry and economy
accumulated quite a fortune. In years
past hosts of residents of this and the
lower parts of Lancaster and Chester
counties, Pennsy ylvania, thought that no
flour was so good as that which came
from Gilpin's mill, and it still enjoys a
high reputation. His funeral took place
last Tuesday, the remains being inferred
at Brandywine cemetery, Wilmington,
Delaware.

Wingate Post, &. a. f., of North East,
have made very complete arrangements for
the decoration ceremony today, and a me-
mortal service in their handsome new hall

them, they never go halfway in anything.
This morning they will decorate the graves
of soldiers at Principle, Charleston, Den
nisons, Burns, Bay View and Zion GENE
teries, and at ! +. NJ. will decorate the
graves in North East cemetery. Afterwards
they will proceed in body to the depot

PROMOTION IN THE NAVY.

MIR. EDIToR.--We regret to learn that
Lieutenant T. 3. Mason, of the navy,
native of New York, has (since his re-
turn from the Isthmas of Panama where
he so gallantly distinguished himsel)
sent in his resignation to the Hon. Secre-
tary of the Navy. We are aware that to
an officer of Lieut.. Mason's talent, the
outlook for advancement il the navy
seems rather discouragng. For the pros.
pect o. promotion is less than ever before
and the incentive to young officers of
mind and talent, to render distinguished
services, are comparatively small. But
we think that one who is So thoroughly
accomplished and so well fitted to per-
form the duties of his calling as Lieut..
Mason, will do better to remain in the
service Of his country than throw it up
in disgust when he finds his chances for
promotion are SO far removed.-Irmy
and Nary Register.
Yet when the number of officers of the
higher grades are restricted by law to
such a small number, VIZ, 1 admiral, 1
vice admiral, rear-admirals and Il com
manders, there is but little chance of a
young lieutenant ever reaching either of
these grades sin these piping times of
peace, " or until he has arrived at the age
of 62 years, when he will be retired on
half pay. p.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.
A Man Cut to Pieces near Iron
Hill Station.

The remains of 4 man were discovered
early on Saturday morning last scattered
along the track of the Philadelphia, Will
mington and Baltimore railroad a short
distance above Iron Hill station and about
three miles north of Elkton. 1t is sup
during the night. A couple of letters
We're found which were so covered with
blood as to render the address almost un-
uniatelligible. On one was the name
'McManus." The other had different
address, but from all that could be made
out from them it appeared that his name
was McManus, and that he was going to
New York to see a sick sister, and not
having the money to pay his fare was
stealing a ride. His body was terribly
mutilated, parts of it being spread along
the track for nearly hundred yards.
His heart was found fifty feet from his
trunk and his liver was as far away All
that was left of the body was the right
arm with small portion of his breast
attached to it. His feet were found thirty
to fifty feet distant from each other. The
boots were stripped from them and the
sole was torn from one of them. Men
who had been in the army and who had
witnessed many sights of mutilated
bodies, declared that this was the worst
they ever saw. Coroner Widdows of
Newark held an inquest upon the re-
