Death of Rev. Vaughan Smith.

DCttb vi AAtts tduShstH SlHith
The Rev Vaughan Smith died at hi
residence, No. 10I6 West Seventh street
Wilmington on Saturday afternoon OF
genera debility. He was quite uuwel
for nearly year past end his death was
not unexpected.
| Vaughan Smith was born ON SAMSON
street, Philadelphia, February l4Jh,
| 1914, OF Presby terrain parents. In early
life he followed the calling of sailor
until converted. He soon afterwards
entered the ministry and became a
member of the old Philadelphia Confer
ence and preached in many of its leading
appointments until She Wilmington
Conference was set off in 1868 When
the conference was divided he was
Stationed in the new Conference, and in
it he spent the remainder of his DAYS.
He was looked upon as one of the
leading ministers of the conference, was
Presiding Elder of the old Snow Hill
District, aud filled tbs important APP
ppintments of Milford, Middletowu, ST.
Michaels and Elkton. His last appoint
ment was at Crisfed, Nd, but not
being able physically to ill the appoint
ment, lie removed to Wilmington and
settled down with his sons.
Early in his ministry be married Miss
Sheppard, the daughter of a wealthy
farmer living at Gumboro. She and six
children, three daughters and three sons
survive him. The children are: Mrs.
William R, Gall of Indianapolis, Ind;
Mrs. Ohio E. Bryan, Centrevile, Md;
Mrs. Benjamin Harrington, Beaten,
Benjamin S. and Joseph Of Wilmington.
Beaton AMI Joseph are in the drug bus
mess at Seventh and Pine streets in that
city, aud Benjamin Is the telegraph
operator at the Delaware station OF tho
Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Mr.. Smith was an outspoken ardent
Republican and made a good many
enemies by his strong adherance to the
Union cause during the late civil war.
Whatever he thought was right he stood
by it regardless of consequences. Dur
ing the war he was specially authorized
to keep sharp lookout upon the move
ments of rebel sympathjzers in the
vicinity of Princess Anne. With all his
unhinching integrity, heroic character,
he was as tender as a woman, and his
sympathies were easily stirred.
The news of his death will be received
with the most profound grief by all who
were acquainted with him and knew his
sterling merits.
His funeral was held on Tuesday, his
remains being intsrred in the Methodist
Church cemetery at Middletown, beside
the grave of Mr.. Smiths son who was
killed on the Delaware railroad, several
} ears ago.

Oh It's hard to school the heart.
To bear, with accomplishing trust,
It's weight OF grief, when falls the dart,
That strikes 4 loved one down to dust.
1t is hard when the one stricken down
was an affectionate, devoted husband aud
father, n dutiful son, brother true, a
faithful friend, good citizen-one who en-
deavored to do his duty in all the relations
of life Such man was George johnson
BENJAMIN, who died at Leslie, November
l4th 1891, in his 5lst year. He was beloved
by his neighbors, honored by his comrades,
many of whom knew Of his personal devo-
ton to duty, when loyalty TO principle re-
quired sacrifice and hardship, which he
endured by standing in the foretr of
over score of battles, that the flag he
loved might float over free and undivided
country. Though hard to y art, yet there is
comfort in knowing, that after the conflict
is the crown, the immortal crown that
fad eth not away, which the Great Captain

TIE STORM AT BALrIMoRE.

BALTIMORE. Nov "a A disastrous
storm passed over Baltimore Yesterday
afternoon. 1t came mp suddenly and
was over in q few minutes. But it left
ruin and wreck III its wake. There have
been no deaths reported, but several
persons were injured, some of whom
may die.
In the central portion of the city the
rain poured down in torrents and the
wind blew gale The roof of the
Maltby building, at the foot of West
F. lis avenue, was torn off and dropped
thirty feet away. The upper floor of the
structure was occupied as sail loft by
Thomas Gibbons, who had thirteen men
at work at the time the roof was carried
away. All of them escaped unhurt, ex-
copt Fred Latthert, the foreman, S. E.
Mitchell and Howard Yeardley. They
were badly cut up.
Yeardly's experience was a startling
one. He was lifted bodily and thrown
into the river forty feet below. The
debris of the wrecked roof was falling
all around him as he descended, and a
heavy piece of timber struck him as he
fell, cutting his head severity and lacerat-
ing his shoulder. A passing tug rescued
him. Several other cases Of damage in
the nature Of demolished chimueys,
broken roofs. crushed signs, etc, are
reported

The public school house site in this place was a very injudicious selection. Almost every time there is an Arizona zephyr blowing, the building rocks to such an extent that obliges the teachers to dismiss school. The HERALD is of the opinion that as matter of economy and measure of precaution looking to the saving of life, it would be well to tear the building down and remove it to some less exposed spot. There are over two hundred children attending the pub lie school at the present time. Suppose small-sized cyclone should pass over St. Johns-and it is not at all improba- ble-it is horrible to contemplate the loss of life which would certainly occur, in case the school house were razed to the ground. We respectfully make this suggestion for the consideration of the trustees, as we'll as the patrons of the school. The building should never have been erected on it's present site; or only built only story, with thirty-six inch walls

 No newspaper, no matter how ably edited or how enterprisingly conducted, says the Mobile Register, can long keep ahoat and abreast with the times when published in dead town. It takes live town to make a live newspaper. There never was in the past hundred years, never will be and can never be, a live town without live newspaper. Tine newspaper is dependent on the town. It reflects the push, progress and aspira- tions of the town, Without home pat ronage it cannot live and thrive; and then again, while it is dependent on the town, the town cannot do without 1t. There is no auxiliary so valuable to a growing city as an outspoken, public spirited paper, wisely and well managed. Nor is that all-the business man who does not advertise in it, and the enter prising citizen who does not subscribe for it and talk up for it, stands i'll his own light and is a stumbling block in the way of his city's progress. Help the press in your town, and in nine hundred and ninety-nine out of one thousand cases it will return your help many fold.

Something for the New Year.

The world renowned success of Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, and their con tinued popularity for over a third of a century as stomachic, is scarcely more wonderful than the welcome that greets the annual appsarance of Hostetter's Almanac. This valuable medical treat ise is published by the Hostetter Com pany, Pittsburgh, Pa., under their own immediate supervision, employing sixty hands in that department. They are running about eleven months i'll the year on this work, and the issue of same for 1892 will be more than ten millions, printed in the English, German, French, Welsh, Norwegian, Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Spanish languages. Re fer to a copy of it for valuable and in- teresting readiug concerning health, and numerous testimonials as to the efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, amuse- ment, varied information, astronomical calculations and chronological items, etc, which can be depended on for cor rectnees. The Almanac for 1892 can be obtained free of cost, from druggists and general country dealers in all parts Of the country.

The World Enriched.

The facilities of the present day for the production of everything that will con duce to the material welfare and comfort of mankind are almost unlimited and when Syrup of Figs was first produced the world was enriched with the only perfect laxative known, as it is the only remedy which is truly pleasing and re- freshing to the taste and prompt and efectual to cleanse the system gently in the Spring time or, in fact, at any time and the better it is known the more pop u1ar it becomes.
