Death OF k1ch0f0 FOsPy
Mr.. Richard B. Posey, pc. haps one of the
oldest residents of our county, died at his home
near Doncaster, in the third election district.
on Sunday last, in the s4th year Of his age
Mr. Posey has been in feeble health for some
time past. due entirely, however. to his ex-
| treme age as he was not afflicted with organic
disease, and bis death. which was quiet and
peaceful, resulted solely from the gradual de-
cay of his vital organs. The deceased WAS
widely known in our county and greatly es-
| teemed tor his many excellent auahues as
friend and n citizen, especially in the district
| n here he was best known and where his long
life had been spent. In years past Mr.. Posey
was one Of the substantial citizens Of our coun-
ty, owning large property in slaves and land
ed estates. and was a successful AID p o. ressive
farmer but, like many Others similarly situat-
ed he lost largely by the war and has never
fully recovered from the losses he then sustain
ed. For many years past Mr.. Posey has been
forced to forego all active pursuits by encroach-
men,s of old age, during which time he has
kept to his home being attended carefully and
faithfully by lh= members OF his family with
wLom he lived At one time Mr.. Posey dev-
oied much of his attention TO potato cslture
and was sngularly successful in the raising OF
this product having, fSr loLg time. the repu-
tstion Of raising the finest and best potatoes
that we're shipped to the a exandIia market
He was an earnest Democrat and had missed
but two. elections in all his long and ev.ntful
life. He leaves several grown children. His
funeral took iplace on Tuesday morning and
WAS largely attended by bis many friends and
relatives in Nsnj-moy and elsewhere. The in
terment was in the private burial lot at bis

Attempted Incendtnrism

1t was reported to Us on Tuesday thai
several attempts have been made within the
past week to set FIRE to ths Ca holc church a,
Pomfret, though fortunately every attempt so
far made has failed of its object. The .itemp,
was 6rst discovered on Sunday MOI ning ~ht n
pile q leaves and sticks, partly burnt, were
| found piled up against one corner Of the build
ing, and it is supposed that the miscreant, at
ter setting FIRE TO bis kindlpg, left ii suppos-
! ing it would accomplish lis work, but il Was
either too wet or too green to burn freely and
no damage resulted Later in the same day
means was discovered on anoi her corner and
still later a similar effort iu an opposite corner.
These repeat-d attempts at in 'endiarism alarm
ed the neighbors and guard WAS set in the
pastoral residence adjoining the church, that
night to protect the property frem these re-
peated efforts st its destruction. No attempt
was made during the night, however. bot ear
ly the following morning 1t was found that
similar pile of debris had been placed sgs inst
an iiding os the opposite s,de OF the
smoalding hen discovered, though the build.
ing attempted to be fred had not caugh,.
These r. peaied attempts are alarming the neigh
bors and consreg ,ton. aud the Cause III Al
would lead to the perpetr.tion OF so dastsrdlr
a crime is a mystery singular fact come
ted With these attempts is that they are all
'mmitei in the Daylight. generally in the
early morning, but cue n.s vet been lis

Cutting ARRAY
A correspondent from DoLcss'er fur ishes
US with the pirticu lars of cutting adrsy that
From bis statement party of negroes had COL
lected in the store Of P. P. W illisms and be-
coming intoxicated made themselves very noisy
and dissgresable. When ordered 10 desis, BY
Mr.. Williams one of them named Isaac Butler,
became very abusive and continued his hilari-
ty. Whereupon Mr. Williams seized cl ub and
give the negrs q stunning blow. This ansered
the rest of the crowd and Sight was begun
between the negroes and the whites. Consta-
BILE c. E. Gilroy, ~ho WAS present, did all he
could to quell the disturbance, and in bis ef-
forts to preserve peace was brought into the
riot. Ia the melee which foliove! the CEN
stable received several severe cuts about the
arms and breast. The negro Butler. who start
ed the disturbance, was also severely cut in the
abdomen and had to be carried home By his
friends, and at last reports but little hope was
felt for his recovery. 1t is reported that young
negro from Baltimore, named Robert Small
wood, did most of the cutting With q razor
which he us.d prerts freely. Constable Gilroy's
injuries were 50 severe as to cause him to lose
the use Of the 6nEers Of one hand and it Is
thought it will be some time before he fully
recovers. This case ought to furnish some
material for the grand jury at the next Ma,
curt, AMI We hope the investig s,ors ill .e
rought TO justice.
