malpractice, which was removed from
this county and occupied the attention
of the Hartford county court from Tues
cluded by the jury on Monday returning
4 sealed verdict for the defendants.
Mrs. Matilda G. Janney, aged about 80
years, wife OF the plaintiff was affected
by a cancerous tumor on the breast
which was first noticed in December,
1854. The defendants assisted by DR..
II. Ii. Mitchell removed the tumor in
Mar, 1856. She apparently fully recovered
from the effect of the operation aud died
from other causes in December, 1856.
The plaintiffs alleged that her death
was caused by the removal of the tumor
causing the disease to attack her brain.
The case was warmly contested by the
many lawyers engaged. For the plain
tiffs appeared Albert Constable and VIM.
7. Warburton, OF Cecil, and William
Young and George Van Bibber, Hartford.
The defendants were represented by
States Attorney VIM. S. Evans, Charles
c. Crothers aud J. Wesley Falls, of
Cecil, and George Y. Maynalier, of Har-

Whitsuntide at Chesapeake City,

CHESAPEAKE CITY, May oath, 1888.
Mr.. Editor:-Please allow me space in
your most excellent paper to tell your read
ers what a grand time we had on Whit
Monday, May Dist inst. Tie day was bright
and the air balmy. At 10 A. NJ, the Elkton
Cornet Band arrived under the leadership
of Prof. Chas. Daniels, and broke the still.
ness of our beautiful little town with choice
music. The \. NJ. f. Sunday School then
formed in line in front of the Bethel A. NJ.
f. Church, and the procession started for
the picnic grounds at 1915 A. NJ, which
were in the beautiful Spring Grove" about
five minutes walk. 1t was pretty sight to
see the school on parade, marching to the
music, with their banner floating to the
breeze and their motto the "Holy Bible"
written within its folds. The procession
marched through Main street to the grove
where plenty of good things were ready for
all. Besides the service rendered by the
band, the children had a fine time in swing
ing, promenading, playing at ball and other
sports, which added to their Notification.
This being the first picnic of the season at
this place it was attended by a large num-
Der of persons. The procession left tie rove.
at Is o'clock Z. NJ, and marched through
town to the church for the "May Feast"
The exercises We're very interesting So
well did the directress Miss Alice 5. Bea-
SOM have the pupils trained, that each one
acted his part remarkably well. The pref
test sight that ever saw of its kind was
the browning OF the Queen of May. The
congregation was delighted when her
peare1 upon the stage in full dress of spot
less white, and marched around the throne
chanting the browning song, led by Miss
Mary Warrick, with Miss l.. 5. Griffin as
organist. Miss Bertha Griffin, had the honor
of placing the crown upon her royal head
and delivered the Grafton. TIE Virgin
Queen, Miss Eldora Savins, assembled the
throne and addressed her subjects, with
elegance and ease, and they bowed in hon.
age at her feet with joyful hearts, glad to
do honor to their Sovereign. The scene, es-
pecally the modest and fair young maiden
who was crowned Queen of May was very
pleasing indeed. The Queen was tall and
well prUportioned and was dressed in snowy
white decorated with flowers Last but not
the least was the winding of the May Pole
by seven little boys and girls which was
very interesting The entertainment closed
with a banquet. 5. 5. Ii.
