There are a great many aspirants for
the position of Deputy sheriff in the field.
One candidate is SO ambitious to hold office
that he offers to perform the duties of Dep

of time. This is hungering for office with
vengeance.

The third entertainment Of the Elkton
T ,,,,n
Academy building, on Monday evening
| next at 7:30 ? NJ. The question for de-
bate, "Resolved: That there Is More Pleas
ure In Anticipation than Possession" will
be discussed in an interesting manner by
the several disputants chosen, and the mu-
sical and literary portion of the programme
will be of an excellent character. To avoid
the disturbing noises that occurred at the
last entertainment and to make more room
and comfort for the ladies, no "small boys"
will be admitted. Otherwise all are well
come.
AT a meeting of the Elkton Dramatic
Association, held in Odd Fellows Hall on
Tuesday evening last, it was decided to
produce the magnificent melo-drama "Haz'l
Kirke," several evenings during the COM
| ing Holidays. This is a copyrighted play.
and the association is under some expense
in procuring it, but we predict that its gen.
eral excellence and the fine manner in which
its several characters will be depicted by
the Elkton amateurs will gain for it re-
markable popularity. Everybody should
see this performance, and we hope to see
the hall well patronized upon the evenings
the play will be enacted.
The remains of the late David Scott
were conveyed from his late home, near
this town, at ~ o'clock on Wednesday last,

at the Head of Christiana, Del Services
| were held in the church at the latter place,
Miss Lucy Steel officiating at the organ and
Revs. Vallandigham and Squier as clergy
men. A few chaste and beautiful floral
decorations were placed about the coffin.
AT the church and grave, besides the Off
| ciating clergymen, there were present the
Revs. Hill, Kershaw and Dare, of the NJ E.
church. The music and the entire service
was appropriate and impressive.
| We do not wish to retract anything we
may have said in these columns in refer
ence to the disorderly conduct of a number
of the students of Delaware College at the
meeting of the debating society in the Elk
ton academy on last Monday evening week,
neither do we wish to be uunj Just to any of
whom we have spoken incorrectly, and we
consider it only an act Of propriety and JUS
tice to state that the college boys were not
alone in their mischief but were aided by
several Elkton lads whose wild spirits could
not be subdued in place of public amuse-
ment. We hope, however, that for the sake
of the ladies who wish to attend the lyceum
entertainments these young gentlemen will
in the future endeavor to conduct them
selves in more proper manner. We might
also state that the students of Delaware
College seldom give the newspapers reason
to rebuke them for social misdemeanor, and
that their behavior on the night in question
was due, ,probably,to a too sudden transition
from the atmosphere of a venerable college
to the air of a village academy. They should
not forget, however, to bring their dignity
with them at all times.
THE WHIG office was the scene on
Tuesday evening last of one of the most
pleasant occurrences we have been able to

known as the "Pythian Journalistic Club"
