MALLORY-Mary Eioise, wife oi Lowry Mallory, dled al her nome in Forrest City, Friday evening al : o'clock. ot conjesIion.
 The cItizens of Forrest City and the friends of the family elsewhere were never more shocked than when they learned of the sudden and very unexpected death of Mrs. Mallory. True she had been m delicate health some time, but had attended to her household duties as usual until noon Of the day oi i her death. About this tune she drank two or three swallows of ice wafer and was immediately taken with conjestion. Although every effort was made in the power oi I loving hands and the best medical aids, 10 resusciiate her and ease her sufferings, she lived but a few short hours. She was a sister ot Capt. T. A. Hatcher, of this city B. D. and Miss Belle Hatcher, ot Vanndale; and of Mrs. Snyder, oi Jonesboro, and had large cIrcle ! of friends here and elsewhere where ske had lived and visited. In her manner, she was kind and gentle She possessed that dispo- sition which of itself, uneonsciously, drew friends 10 her, wherever she went. She possessed many fine qualities of head and heart, and was in all respects a noble woman, loving wife, charitable sister, devoted daughter. and Q consist ent member of the Baptist church Her remains were laid 10 rest Sat urday evening in Mount Vernon cemetery. The funeral ceremonies were conducted by Rev. J. J. Fay Tor, and large number of friends attended to pay the last sad tribute of respect to her memory. In thIs sad hour of bereavement, the sor rowing relatives have the sympa thy of all, and to the loved lost to them they may apply these beauti ful lines which were written to the i Cereus, by one gone on before: Hold beautiful flower, Must lose thee sO soon,
 When th0ght to pour out My full hearts deep tune, And sound thy grand praises | Der all the broad world, And learn of truths
 From divinity hurled? On yes, we must part,
 As of friends loving, fondest, Truest and soonest,
 Our God so demandest; For some bliss-starred night, lis our faith bids us hope When our spirits, pured, eternal, Will in divinity Ope.n

The Maryland and Pennsylvania
Line.

Colonel l. D. Davis, clerk of the
County Commissioners has received the
following communication from W. w.
Guest, clerk of the County Commission
ers of Lancaster county, Pa.
"Our commissioners are very much in
terested in the care and preservation of
the stones which mark the line between
Lancaster and Cecil counties. They IN
specJed the line last week as directed by
law recently passed by the Pennsylvania
Legislature, and found that one of the
stones was missing, another lay fiat on
the ground and a third was broken off
even with the ground. The missing stone
has since been found in small stream
where it had fallen aud broken in three
pieces. Our commissioners think it of
the utmost Importance to properly place
these stones, but they do not think they
have right to do so without your con-
sent and cooperation. We are willing
to employ a surveyor and have the line
accura tely fixed and the stones reset, if
you give your consent and are willing to
bear one-half the expense which, we
think, will not be great. Please let us
hear what suggestions you have to make
in this connection"
The matter was referred to the Secre-
tary of State.

An Unfortunate Affair.

Miss Addie Ford, daughter of J. Frank
lin Ford, farmer residing in Elk Neck,
about six miles from this place, appeared
before Justice A. j. Scott on Saturday
last and made oath that she feared that
her father, would do her injury, he having
threatened to take her life. A warrant
was issued for his arrest and served by
Constable T. Emory Lee, of Cherry Hill.
In default of $500 bail to keep the peace
he was committed to Jail. He is of good
family and has born good reputation
His daughter believes that his mind is
affected, as do other relatives, and il is
probable that he will be examined by
physicians with a view to his commitment
to an asylum if such should prove to be
the case. Mr.. Ford while in the employ
Of the Adams Express company many
years since was thrown from a wagon
and SO severely injured that he was con-
fined to hospital for time. 1t is also
thought that he has been worried by
money matters recently.

Charged With Arson.

Constable John A. Richie of the Eighth
district, last week brought to Jail Richard
J. Bladen, colored man, who is charged
with burning the dwelling house of Sarah

Saturday, May 26th last. He had been
given a hearing on Friday before Magis-

dence against Larue he was discharged.

of Bladen, who lived in the same dwell.
ing with him testified that on the night
after the fire, the prisoner concealed arti

A DiabOllcal Plot.

There is said to be a superabundance
of lawyers in Elkton, and it is reported
that traps are being laid to reduce the
number. A diabolical plot of one member
of the legal fraternity to do way with a
younger brother of the craft, this week
happily proved unsuccessful. The escape
of the latter however from having his
neck broken was most miraculous. 1t
happened in this wise: The older mem.
Der played the spider aud fly racket and
decoyed the less mature man into his
office. In imitation of the new style of
execution by electricity about to be intro
duced in New York State, he placed his
victim in chair. OF course this was
done by polite invitation to avoid sus-
picion. He then engaged the younger
man in animated conversation. Whether
the talk turned on the intrcacies of law
or the more exciting topic of politics, we
failed to learn. The result, however,
was the same. The young disciple of
Blackstone, like many other persons,
could not argue and keep still, but moved
uneasily in his chair. Had he known
that the iron rod on which the chair re-
volved had worn almost altogether away,
he would have been more uneasy. Reach
ing the height of his argument he tipped
the chair back aud at that time the rod
parted, and the lawyer fell, land great
was the fall thereof" Man and chair
were on the floor in a chaotic mass
When the former pulled himself together
and made an inventory of his members
he found he was call there" He is very
suspicious of his brother lawyer now,
and proposes hereafter when he enters
his Office to have the older and heavier
member test the chair before he is seated.
