= If you want nice fitting suit
ask for Paynter at John Wanamak-
er's, City Hall Square, Philadelphia.
= Mrs. Elizabeth Parker, aged g
years, mother of j. G. Parker OF
this place died at Wilmington last
Friday and was inferred at Forest
cemetery on Monday. The interment
was private, only the immediate
relatives and intimate friends being
present. She leaves FIVE sons and two
daughters. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. L. E. Barrett.
The bearers were e.. E. Hukill, J. T..
Budd, John Drummond, Cyrus Tat
man, J. R. Hoffecker and d. L. Dun-
ming. j. q. Emerson was funeral
director.
The contract between the town
of Middletown and the Delaware
Electric Light and Power Manufac-
turing Company expired last August
and thus far new one has not been
made. A written agreement has
been signed during the last week
which provides that in case the COM
pany will enlarge their plant so as to
supply more power and consequently
better lights, that a five year con-
tract shall then be made at the rate
of $3.50 per 16 candle power lamp.
per year. The Company propose to
put in new hundred horsepower
boiler in addition to the present one
of sixty horsepower and a new hun
dred horsepower engine. They also
intend to increase the electrical ap-
paratus in the same proportion, max
ing practically new plant. These
improvements will probably be made
within the next ninety days.

pARsoNBuRG's NATURAL GAS.
THAT OIL IS IN THE NEIGHBoRHOOD
IS THE, GENERAL BELIEF.

Parsonsburg, Wicomico county, Md.s
bids fair to soon become natura gas
centre The striking Of four wells 1t depths
of from 80 to 40 feet has aroused the COM
munitS and real estate is rapidly adyanc-
ing.
The product <,shas a distinctive
odor of coal gas and Parsonburg
being 80 miles from the sea, the
theory that it is marsh gas is dis
pelled. G. A. Parsons has struck two
wells and H. T. Farlow and John w.
Winbrow one each. The flow therefrom is
STRONG enough to blow the cap off of an
iron pipe and the supply is apparently in
exhaustible. The gas is being used as
fuel and numerous kitchen stoves are al
ready attached. Other wells win shortly
be driven and if the attempts shall be suc-
cesstul, Parsonsburg and the surrounding
country will experience an unprecedented
boom.
1t is the impression that oil is in the
neighbOrhOOd and the residents are won
dering who will first strike this road to
wealth. No coal has ever been found on
the Peninsula, and considering the COM
parative fatness of the country, the gas
find is remarkable. Twenty miles south
west of Parsonsburg in the Chesapeake
Bay and near Tangier Sound, is the 6 puppy
hole y which was never known to freeze
over. The water is constantly boiling and
the depth is unfathomable, although the
United States coast survey has recorded
the spot as being 100 fathoms deep. It is
evident that this is also natural gas
opening. If the latter theory is correct
there must be coal or oil under the waters
of the Chesapeake.

Wilmington city hall clock original
ly did service in nobleman's s stable
In Dublin, and came into possession
of the Shipley family after being
brought to this country. When the
city hall was built in 179s, the family
donated the time-piece, and it has
since tolled the hours. OF late the
historical clock has been erratic both
in time-keeping and striking, and
Samuel Fl. Baynard will either put
in new set of works or materially
repair the worn-out mechanism.
There are comparatively few Will
mington people who know the his
tory Of their now useless town clock,
although it has been there for almost
a century.
There died in Port Penn last Satur-
day week, Shubert Burrows, aged As
years. His bachelor home was in a
cabin along the Delaware river shore
and he eked out a livelihood by fishing
and trapping. He was nephew OF
Outlaw Rube Burrows, the express
and mail robber who was killed in the
southwest while attempting to escape
from jail, and the daring exploits Of
whom are still fresh in the minds of
the public. The Port Penn relative
was a deserter from the Confederate
army and had lived in the Delaware
village for dozen years. For a num-
Der of years he was member of Rube
Burrows gang of outlaws and for two
years his (Shubert's) solitary home
was in cave, the entrance to which
was descension by rope. He was
buried in Hickory Grove cemetery on
the day after his death. His effects
realized $11O at public sale, a portion
of which betrayed the funeral ex-
penses and the balance viii be given
to charity.

In order to obtain q water front
and wharfage along the Delaware
river, the Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad
Company has bought tie Scott Grace
property, containing 40 acres, neal
Claymont, for $4,000 The Atlas
Dredging Company will dredge the
site and build the wharves. The
work must be finished by February,
1852, and viii be begun this week. 1t
is stated that the Philadelphia q
Reading Company, which has no
Delaware charter, but which owns
the old river road from Gray's Ferry
to Chester, Pa, is in the deal and
that the latter line will connect the
frontage with the B. & o. road.
The Thompson family of four,
father, sons aged 10 and IA and a
daughter of 16, lived In small house
on Queen street below Division,
Dover. Mrs. McCurdy a married
daughter lived at Wilmington and re-
Gently when she contracted typhoid
fever the youngest daughter nursed
her. Mrs. McCurdy died and the
young nurse carried the disease to the
Dover home. The eldest son was
soon stricken and last Friday he died.
An hour after his death the remains
of the Wilmington daughter arrived
and both bodies were placed in the
single living room of the dwelling
where also lay the remaining chill
dren, on blanket covered store boxes
without pillows, in the last stages OF
the fever. There was not bed in
the house. Neighbors soon learned
of the destitution and the dead were
buried on Sunday and the sufferers
made comfortable.
The offices of Kent county are
becoming vacant at rapid rate and
Gov. Reynolds will have appointed
before the end of his term successor
to almost every offce-holder in the
county. Among the applicants
for the office of Clerk of the Peace
are B. B. Allen, W. G. Hardcastie,
]. W. Hawkins, w. H. Dickson, J. G.
Reed and several others. Mr.. Allen
was an applicant for the Office of Pro-
thonatary and was defeated by Mr..
Belts, the present occupant. He
also wanted to be Register of Wills
but Col. Cooper got that important
place. He is now hustling for the
next best thing and the probilities
are that he will be an Office seeker
without an Office at the expiration of
Gov. Reynolds term. The fight is
really between Hawkins, Hardcastle
and Dickson, three young men who
are ardent Democrats and close friends
of the Governors, and who did much
to bring success to the democracy of
of Kent last fall. Hawkins will prob
ably be the winner.
