by MIR. Norman Stewart, and was occupied
as his residence until 1851, and at his death
was devised 10 Mr.. John Stewart, OF Brook

Northern Virginia. Soon after that it be-
came his home-a home. however, that his
exacting duties seldom permitted him to

One Of the most approved pictures OF

more than square from Main street.
Quite early ID the war large sum OF

YJ.sPER BISHOP, OF WILMINGTON, N. O.
With loyal hearts we gather
On VirginIG's soil To-Day,
Where the dust OF many heroes
Is mingled with the clay;
And with all loves deep emotcn,
Heart TO hOArt and hand In hand,
We pay this tribute OF devotion
To the noblest hero OF our land
Twas In dear old Virginia

TWAS Virginia he defended
To tho ending Of the strife;
IL Virginia wo calmly laid

And 10 uEyeil his noble statue

Yes, We gather here in sorrow
From every stage iii mo.
To do honor 10 the hero
OF & long, unequal stflle.
We do no, mourn the cause we lost
For God Orlained II so
Nor do We murmur naught against
The legion then our Zoe
But We mourn our vsnquished chiettaln,
And bedew with tears his grave,
As We psy this humble tribute
10 The prayvst of the brave.
We gaze upon his mauiy form,
Erect upon his stsei,
And reflect with admiration
On each noble word aud deed
That char1cteri1el tho lie OF MIN

But whose momOry Will linger

He was brave. not alone in war
Amid the caunon5 roll
For Ia his early manhood
lie did battle for his soul
Shook of the fetters OF the world,
And whom tho strife was done
He mad conquered every enemy
The Victory no had won
Standing forth In all the beauty
OF a Christian pure aad whole,
He had fought the battle pravoy,
Gained the victory ior bis soul
with eyes appraised 10 heaven, - a.
"Oh, God For what Thou hast doas fof
In the hour Of tribulation,
devote my life 10 Thee"
How nobly he has kept that vow
Is known on every hand;
From the home Of the most exelteo
TO the humblest in the land,
Its influence on the battlefield
Reached the dying soldiers heart,
Directing his soul y Heaven,
hobDing death OF all It's smart
de would not go into fight
Without Ihe shield OF prayer;
Nor did he forget his enemies
While doing battle there.
He boastod not Of victory
When battle he had won.
And when II turned against him
Said; "Lord, Thy pfA BE- doa<."
He would not stoop 10 trea:hery
In This unequal fight,
But met and fought them brave!y

THE STtTE FAIR.-The Fair at
Dover was seriously interfered with by
the rainy weather of Thursday and
Friday. The races were finished up
on Saturday.
In spite of the failure of the fruit
crop and the scarcity of money, nearly
every department was well filled. In
the ladies' department there were many
specimens of handiwork, and $50 first
premiums aud 125 second premiums
have been awarded. There were 1876
pies and $50 cakes entered.
There were but few canned or pre-
served fruits, those exhibited being
principally strawberries or blackber-
ries. There are few pears.
In the house where the cereals,
fruits and vegetables were shown, all
the space was taken. The features are
the wheat exhibits, of which there are
80 entries the apples grown by Ed
ward ]. Garter, J. G. Brown, Jr., and
Thomas P. HassOn white and sweet
potatoes Of the finest kind and grown
in Kent county; many varieties OF
corn; watermelons grown by Paynter
Frame dish of strawberries the
clearest and best honey in the state,
made by Colonel Barnard's bees; and
the great pumpkins. The display of
apples was remarkable for an off year,
and many of the exhibits were equal to
New YOrk's best fruit.
The exhibits in the art department
contained many interesting subjects.
Mrs. L. A. Kittenger, of Wilmington,
was jndge and her decisions have CIV
en- satisfaction.
The poultry exhibit was far above the
average, while every one of the cattle
stalls were filled. The horses, too,
formed an exhibit worth seeing.

in this city that the people OF Delaware
do not want constitutional conven-
ton. A majority of the people of Del
aware do want a convention and new
constitution, as the vote already taken
on that matter in this state shows. 1t
is also believed that that vote would
have been larger if Democratic officer
had not thrown himself into the breac h
and prevailed upou the liquor inter-
ests to work and vote against the con-
vention.-MOrning NeiOs.
