PORTSMOUTH, VA, Dec. %, 1887.
Editor FISHERMAN & FARMER,
DEAR SIR was greatly grieved to
see in your valuable paper, of the 10th,
an account of the sad accident that had
befallen little Beulah Aurden, and
greatly sympathize with her and her
parents and hope that God will soon re-
store her to health again. Her name
carried my thoughts back to the pleas
ant days that have spent in Edenton,
in times past, when some of the chill
dren gathered around our fire-side for
the purpose of social and innocent
amusements; and of the number she was
one.
Times are very different with me now.
God, in His wise Providence, has de-
little boy, Tommie. With him many
of the dear children of Edenton are &C
quainted. 1 am thankful to say that l
have some as good friends in Edentor
as have on earth, and I read with great
pleasure of the growth and prosperity
Of that place. spent five years there
in the service of the n. 8. Railroad, and
when it was my lot to leave did it very
reluctantly on account of the many
friends had there. am now in the
employment of the Teachers Belt R. R.
Company.
1 hope it will be my pleasure to visit
Edenton in few days, and hoping that
this may not find it's way to the waste

MR.. LAMAR'S CONFIRMATION.

Our Northern brethren must be thor
oughly imbued with the gospel Of hate.
They cannot contain their souls in peace.
The President has nominated Secretary
Lamar for the vacant place on the SUI
preme Court Bench. He is an able man,
aprofound lawyer, a great statesman, q
pure and spotless man in private life
and eminentiy fit for the high place for
which the President has nominated him.
But three quarters of a century ago he
took up arms ut the bidding of his SOW
ereign State and became Confederate
brigadier, and a Republican Senate nov
hesitates to confirm him for the place of
Supreme Court Judge for this cause.
With tho admitted qualifications of
Mr.. Lamar for the place, there is a
strange inconsistency in the Republican
Senate in hssitating about his confirma-
ton. Theprecedents of the party stamp
their conduct with inconsistency and
show that there must be some other
cause than that assigned by Republican
politicians. 4 Republican President
nominated Republican Southern men
who had been in the Confederate ser
vice, for judicial place and the Republi
can Senate confirm them. Hammond
and Key OF Tennessee; Paul of Virginia;
Speer of Georgia; Settle OF Florida, and
Boreman Of Louisiana, wore all in the
Confederate service, all confirmed by
the Senate for judicial place, but were
all Republicans. This ia the key that
locks their patriotism.-Econ

A Bird Story.

Mr.. Edward Dufford, young man of Cen
tire twp had a remarkable adventure last
Saturday msrning. He was coming to town
at the time, walking along the track Of the
S. Il A. l.. p. and ss he neared the cut on
the Duffy place, ne noticed an immense bird
setting ON the cross piece of 3 telegraph pole.
When he passed the bird it took no note Of
him but before he reached the next telegraph
pole, it flew at him furiously. It's wings
spread clear across the track, measuring at
least ten feet from tip to tip. its head was
bald, throat and breast white, feet as large as
a mans two hands ard its hooked bill at
least six inches long. Ell. lodged behind
the telegraph pole, and the Eisle-for such
it seemed to be--struck the pole heavily
and was partially stunned. Seeing this, Ed.
ran to the next pole, and got behind it just
in time to again escape the bird and then ran
for the next pole. This was kept up for some
time, when the eagle got tired of flying again
tel eQraph poles, and flew over into Mlllin-
ge RS meadow, 1t was last see in Dufford's
oods, and if yet in that vicinity should be
aptured, if possible.

The Cruelty TO Animals Case.

Clearfield township was well represented
in ESQ. Keck's office last Monday afternoon,
the occasion being the hearing of the case Of
the Commonwealth VS.. George Shroup,
charged with cruelty to animals by Humane
Agent O'Brien at the instance of Charles
O'Donnell.
Charley's story was in effect that he left
his colts out of his barn or yard, on Satur-
day, March 10th last, and that when he
went TO look for them that evening he saw
them in Shroup's wheatteld, and saw young
Shroup abusing them. He was afraid TO
enter upon the Shroup premises. One OF the
colts came home with It's eye badly swelled,
and the eye is now gone. James O'Donnell,
John Cailihan, jacob Spcbn and Jacob Fen
nell corroborated parts Of Chariey's story.
George Shroup, the detendant,a II sou OF
Antony Sbroup, said he had put the colts
out OF the wheat field without abusing them
III the lesst.
Jacob Wolbert said that Charley had, on
the 18th OF March, offered him SO casE and
81 day to find out if Shroup knocked the
colt out of the eye"
Geo. Black, Mrs. James o. Donnell, Antony
Shroup, Dennis O'Donneli, Chas. Riley, Mr..
McDeavitt, Patrick McGrady, Joseph o. Neal
Mr.. Inglehar;, Esq Mcbride, Esq. SIpe and
Nicholas Osche were the other witnesses for
the defense, and an effort was made to I'M
peach Charley's reputation for truth and
yeracity. McQuistion then spoke Tor the
defense and Martin for the prosecution, the
Justice discharged the defendant, the county
pays the record costs, and each party pays
their own witnesses.

Ope ming of tn e Base Ball Season

The base ball season is now fairly
open. The Association clubs began
their championship games on Wed
nesday week ago, and the League
on the following Friday. In the lot
ter, the Boston and Pittsburg clubs
are doing the best and Detroit and
Philadelphia the worst, but OF course,
the first month doesn't make the
champion any more than a swallow
makes a simmer
Public opinion places Detroit as
the probable winner of the pennant
with Philadelphia second, and Chica-
go, Boston and New York buDched
for third. Before the opening games
Pittsburg was placed ut fifth or sixth
but ber admirable team work. battery
and base running shown in defeating
the champion Detroits three straight
games has brought her prominently
before the public rs dangerous look
ing dark horse " In the Associa-
tion the race will be a hot one be-
tween St. Louis, Brooklyn and Gin
cinnati. Each is winning and has
it's admirers.
In the matter of base ball, it must
be remem bered that it is not ouly the
professional clubs that are engaged
in the game, but all over the country
amateurs exercise and increase their
muscles on the diamond. Aud it
must be conceded that they might
be much worse employed. These
open air exercise develops manly
strength and they are not at all in
compatible with the pursuance OF
school duties. They are decidedly
better than loafng about bar rooms.
or wasting time over sentimental
novels or becoming yapid dudes in
society" As matter OF course
there ought to be certain modera-
tion in the qualification of the passion
for physical sports, and it would be
folly to give all ones time and
thought in this direction, but within
the bounds, athletic recreation ought
TO be encouraged. The vigorous
body is essential to the sound mind,
as the Greeks maintained in their best
DAYS, and these sturdy lads who are
exercising in the field will make bet
ter citizens for developing robust
physical manhood 1t is admitted
that our girls are more sensible in
the matter Of dress, diet and exercise
than the women of an earlier period
of the republic and visible improve
ment in physique has resulted. 1t
won't do for the young men to be-
come enervated when the other sex
is making such advances. SO We
say, let the manly sports in tenn
perate fashion receive encouragement
tor their sanitary uses.

Excursion to Cincinnati.

The Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias of
the World will convene in regular biennial
session at Cincinnati, o., June 18th, 1888,
and remain in session about two weeks.
1t is needless to say that the recurrence of
this meeting is the most important event, as
well as the most interesting occasion, in the
history of the brotherhood. Knights from
every quarter of the land will be present and
both the public and private ceremonies will
be impressive, imposing and interesting.
In order to place the opportunity of atten-
dance within the power of as many members
of the Order as possible, the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company will sell, from June 9TH
to 11th, excursion tickets to Cincinnati, valid
for the return trip until July I'd inclusive, at
one limited fare for the round trip.
Full and particular details as to time o.
trains, and complete arrangements for the
movement of large bodies of knights, may
be procured by addressing the undersigned.

Gifts OF Poison.

II il, time that respectable mer-
chants combined with consumers for
the suppression of all gilt, prize and
lottery schemes in connection with the
sale of articles of merchandise. These
schemes are not only demoralizing to
legitimate business and to the morals
of the community, but in the extent
in which they are being carried in the
sale of articles of food lave become o
source of great danger TO the public
health. They are, no matter In what
form they appear. nothing more or
less than devices to swindle honest
and unsuspecting people.
1t is gratifying To learn that in
some Instances the officers of the law
have taken mold OF the matter In
New York. aud also in Chicago, par
ties W no III this wav offered gifts to
purchasers of their packages have re-
Gently been arrested upoa indicEnseats
for lottery swindling. The latest
candidates, both for public eyecration
and criminal prosecution, are the
manufacturers of the alum baking
powders, who are both, by means of
gifts and lottery tickets, disposins of
large quantities Of their corrosively
poisonous compounds, which are SD
we'll known to be detrimental to
health that no housekeeper will ad-
nit them to her kitchen knowingly.
This form of swindle is not only be-
ing peddled from house to house, but
uDder the promise of large profits to
he realized. the manufacturers are en-
trenching themselves behind the coun-
1ers of many grocers by getting them
to offer the alum goods with the gifts
or lottery tickets attached, thereby
shifting the liza bility to prosecution,
in part, upon other, and perhaps in
nocent, parties. Every grocer or deal
er, for instance, who sells or offers
for sale any of the prize or lottery
baking powders is n criminal in the
eye of the law, and liable, upon con-
viction, to fine and imprisonment,
while those who sell the gift goods
are, morally, as responsible, for they
are Offering an inducement, or prize,
to housekeepers to use food that
contains corrosive poison. This is
a predicament in which it is not pos
sible our grocers will care to place
themselves when they come to think
seriously of the matter.
1t must be borne in mind that every
one of these gift or prize baking pow
ders are alum baking powders. These
powders cost less than four cents a
pound to produce; the gift or prize
costs but few cents more. They are
sold at the price ofa lirst-class baking
powders, so that the swindle, in &
commercial sense, is enormous. But
the chief iniquity of the business con-
sists in selling, as presumably whole,
sa lie, an article OF a positively injuri'
GUS character, and by means Of gifts
or bribes inducing servants or unsus-
pectinG housekeepers to purchase
and use it in our daily food.
There should be some prompt
method of reaching these dangerous
practices and furnishing the parties
engaged in their promotion. If the
present laws are not ample, we com.
mend the matter to the consideration
of our State Board of Health for rec
ommendation of such additional legis-
lation as shall be effective for the pro-
lection of the public.
