SUPPRESSION OF SLAVERY.

An African Letter Indicates That the
Remedy Is Worse Than the Disease.
LONDON, July IA letter just received
from Sierra Leone says that the vigilant
suppression OF the slave trade along the
coast, and the consequent inability of the
warlike races 10 dispose of their captives
at profit, has caused revival in the most
terrible form o. the slaughter and blood
shed which formerly made every chief town
of the interior 4 Golgotha. Coomassie, it
is said, has again witnessed the killing OF
as mary as 200 victims in one day, and the
death drum is heard in the streets even
more frequently than before the British
Ashantee expedition, when it was hoped
such scenes We're put to an end forever.
Do Not Even Spare the Babes.
The savage Nangarus recently made a
raid into Dagomba, completely devastat-
ing the villages and carrying off over ., 000
captives. They were unable to get rid Of
the prisoners as slaves, and held a scrifi.
cial feast, which lasted for three days, in
which every captive persisted, not even
children being spared. 1t is universally
admitted in the settlements that the ap-
preaching extinction of the slave trade in
western Africa is making war far more
merciless than it used to be-

store Broken open-..pos,oaiee robbed.

The store of Mr.. Lloyd Drifting
ham, at New Church station, was
broken open last Monday night, by
a gang of daring thieves, who after
taking such goods as they wanted
and robbing the Postoffice OF two
registered letters, conveyed the iron
safe of Mr.. Birmingham, weighing
some 800 pounds to a point remote
from the store, in search OF bigger
plumber. In the latter respect, how
ever, they were disappointed, as luck
lily for Mr.. Birmingham he had de-
posted his money in Pocomoke Bank
only a few hours before the raid was
made on him. The registered letters
contained some S26 or $50 and the
goods taken were worth some $40 or
$50, which together with the damage
to the safe covers the Losses caused
by the thieves. The perpetrators OF
the crime entered the store by boring
four holes around the lock and evil

and while it is possible. that they are
the same gang of thieves, which in a
few months past have broken into
stores of Messrs. E. H. Conquest, Oak
Hall, and Mr.. VIM Walsh, Mapps-
vile, it is more likely, that the thieves
came from abroad, possibly as assis
tants of the gang which for some
time have been operating here. No
clue so far has been ascertained and
it is not likely that professionals
such as they seem to have been left
any tracks behind them which could
lead to their discovery.

A Card.

Those farmers shipping sweet po-
tatoes will be glad to find market
for their culls, as there seems to be
SO many sweets under size. Put up
the culls clean and nice and ship
them to Reading, Pa, to Clous &

for them. Reading. Pa, is one OF the
best markets in the country for small
sweets, and strange to say that large
sized sweets will not sell there at
all. 6. 6. JONES.
