Good Rocks.

Mrs. VIM. Rogers, of Galena is in town
for stay of some weeks, and is engaged
in soliciting orders for number of good
books. More especially does she dwell
upon the merits of three, which upon
careful examination seem we'll worthy
the attention of all, and if their finances
will permit, they should add them to their
libraries. These three book are g The
Pictorial Bible Commentator, "The
Worlds Wonders" and "The Ladies
of the White House," The first presents
the great truths of the word of God in a
simple, pleasing, and instructive manner,
by Engram Goblin, V. D. NJ. 1t also
contains descriptions of the manners and
customs of the ancient Jews and people
contemporary with them. The second
presents complete and succinct biography
of all the ladies who have presided over
social affairs at the White House since
the foundation of our government. 1t Is
a new edition, brought down to the time
of the present administration and con-
tains fine portraits on steel and wood of
all those who have during the long years
OF our existance as nation acted as " First
lady OF the land" The third book is of
much interest to lovers of travel and ad-
venture, as it gives accounts of the strange
manners and customs and the many
wonderful things to be seen in foreign
lands, in "The dark continent" the
islands of the sea, and in " The land Of
the midnight SUM-" The subscription
price is reasonable and the books well
bound and printed. Ladies of the
White House" contains 76S pages !;
"World's Wonders" 76S pages and the
Commentator" 1896 pages. All are
prefusely and finely illustrated.

Yours Truly.

MR.. EDIToR.-To the eighty-one Citi-
zens voters /: tax payers, property holders,
and business men who voted for me at
the recent Town Election for the office of
Town Treasure, I return my sincere
thanks. And to the many gentlemen who
worked 50 faithfully for the success of the
regular " Citizens Ticket" and for my in
diSi1ual success as well, Ireturn dou-
BILE thanks. believe the gentlemen elect
ed as Commissioners, the Assessor and
Aldermen will give satisfaction and pos
sibly by little extra labor the Treas
urer may approach somewhere near the
high standard of excellence that has been
set up. can only promise, that when
the new Duplicate is placed in my hands
1 will go in and avoid if possible the ne
cessity of returning so many of our dis
tinguished citizens as errors. AS there is
now so much interest manifested in town
affairs, perhaps some of these old delin-
quents would be willing to pay off old
scores and have the prefix "error" re-
moved. So this class of citizens I say, pay
your taxes and then talk all you please
and find all the fault you can.
Finally and in conclusion, can always
be found at the old stand, wnere shall be
happy to either receive taxes or pay orders
on sight without defalcation or discount.
A. G. Cox Treasurer.

The remains of Nathaniel Pusey, q
resident of Dublin district; Somerset
county, who died at very advanced age,
were inferred in the Presbyterian ceme-
tery of Princess Anne on last Saturday.
Mr.. Pusey was noted for his eccentricity
of character from the fact he drove rum
away or OK team.
A Baltimore american special,
dated Saturday, reports destructive fire
on Kent Island. The large barn and
stables of Messrs. J. B. and G. W. Ring
gold, were totally destroyed, together
with two valuable horses, an engine and
thresher and lot of valuable farming
implements. It is supposed that the fire
was of incendiary origin, as it was the
third barn burnt upon the same farm.
The loss which is estimated at about
s., 900 is fully covered by insurance in
companies represented by w. H. Gibson.

HEAVY Loss FROM Hoe CHOLERA.
Mr.. Edw. j. Watson, near Chestertown,
has lost thirty-two 120 pound shoats since
Christmas by hog cholera. There were
forty head of hogs in the lot when
the disease made its appearance, and all
died but eight. These were saved-two

mixture of sulphur and saltpetre, in equal
parts, fed with other food. Twenty other
shoats in another field were not affected.

-REyIyAL.-The revival meetings at
the Methodist Protestant Church in Ches-
tertown have been continued this week
with increasing interest and success. A
dozen or more penitents have been at the
altar and there have been a number oi
conversions. Rev. w. r. Graham, the
pastor, is all effective preacher and earnest
worker and if Chestertown is not blessed
with an extensive revival it will not be
| his fault.-News.

General Hancock,s Successor.


The President yesterday nominated
Brigadier-General Alfred Fl. Terry to
be Major General, vice Winfield Scott
Hancock, deceased. General Terry is
native of Connecticut. He entered
the service in May, 1861, as colonel
of the Second Connecticut Volunteers,
and in September of the same year he
assumed command of the Seventh
Connecticut. On April 25, 1862, he
was made a brigadier-general of vol
unteers, and on January Is, 1866 he
was promoted to major-general. His
record during the war was conspicu-
Gus, the daring assault upon Fort
Fisher, resulting in its capture, being
one of it's most marked features. Gen
eral Terry at the close of the rebellion
was placed in commond of the Depart
ment of the James, with head-quart-
ers at Richmond, Va. His most noted
services since the close of the war
have been on the frontier, and he has
acquired a high reputation as sue
cessful Indian fighter. In 1876 he
conducted a remarkable campaign
against the hostile Sioux in the North
west. 1t was in this campaign that
General Custer, with a portion of
Terry's force, was ambushed and slain.
General Terry has long been one of
the most popular officers in the regular
army, and his promotion will give
general satisfaction. When General
Pope is retired he will doubtless be
succeeded as major-general by General
Howard

A Man, Some Ducks, Horse, and
Boat.

A Man, Some Ducks, q Horse, and
Boat.
There is in Sumter County, Ga, cer-
tain pond or swamp of 100 acres or more.
The water is very shallow, and grass
grows luxuriantly in it. Here horses
and cattle love to feed and ducks congre-
gate in great numbers. They do not
fear the horses and cattle, but are very shy
when a man is around. Jim Murray
thought that by hitching his horse to
fiat-bottomed boat he could drive
all over the swamp and kill no
end OF ducks. The plan worked
we'll at first. The. horse drew the
boat easily, but when at the right time
Jim said " Whoa, p and jumped up to fire
at the ducks, there was a hitch in the.pro-
gramme. The horse stopped, but the
boat didn't. 1t quietly foated on and
banged against the horses hind legs. The
horse jumped, and at that Jim took a
header backward into the water, his gun
going about twenty feet beyond him.
just where the gun went is not certain.
It has not been seen since. The horse
and the boat kept right on. When the
horse wanted to stop, the boat hit his legs
and urged him forward. Finally boat
and horse got thoroughly tangled up, and
the latter went down. Then Jim's
brother Tom, who had been watching the
show from the solid land, waded in and
cut the horse loose, and at the same time
Jim waded out. The boat was not hurt
in the least,

Card.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Inas much as some one
has seen fit tocirculate report to the ef-
feet that 1 had said that the meeting of
certain citizens, held at the office of Geo.
w. Ingram Esq. prior to the recent Town
Election, for the purpose of nominating
ticket, was held by irresponsible and
non-tax-paying citizens of the town, I
take this means of stating to those gen.
tlemen and the public, that I did not
know till to-day that any such meeting
had ever taken place, and that I never
made any such statement nor any other
statement derrogatory to those who held
that or any other Town Meeting.

A Highwayman,

On Friday night about o'clock Miss
Sallie Turner of this place was knocked
down and robbed on the corner of Cass and
Main streets. She was carrying bundle
of goods and satchel when young man
came up to her and laying hold of the
satchel jerked it away from her and in
the struggle she was thrown down. The
man then secured the bundle also and
made off up Cass street.
1t was known that four strangers had
sought shelter at the railroad station in
the early evening and thither the lady
went, in company with officer Craddock,
and from the four singled one whom she
positively identified as her assailant. A
warrant was issued on Saturday morning
and the officer arrested the young man
and brought him before Squire Vasey.
The prisoner gave his name as Michael
Mcdonnell, of Wilmington, attempted to
prove an alabi by station master Jones,
and claimed to have been in the station
from $50 to $50 on the evening in ques-
tion. Mr.. Jones did not agree with him
and said he left at o'clock and came
back some time after. He was committed
to New Castle Jail to await the grand
jnry's action.

Peaches.

In order to test the truth of the reports
about the peaches being killed in this
vicinity, Mr.. A. Hushebeck, took num-
ber of cuttings from the orchard of E. R.
Cochran some ten days ago and put them
in his propogating bed in the greenhouse,
and to-day we were invited to inspect
them. sa
The following is the result of the exami-
nation: On cutting taken from tree of
Smocks one bud was dead out of eleven !;
Crawfords Late 20 buds out of 35 another
variety of red pea ches showed two killed
out of 18.
All these were taken from a three
year-old orchard, not in any way
sheltered, and we think it is fair test of
the true state of the condition the peaches
are in to-day. IF one halt of the buds
now living grow into fruit there will be
more peaches than the trees can hold.
