Evans Acquitted.

The murder trial of Evans for the death
of Raymond Rosser, at Oak Grave, Del,
last August, ended last Tuesday. The
State woye a very strong chain of cir
cumstantial evidence around Evans. He
was arrested at Taconey, Pa, shortly af-
ter the death of Raymond Rosser, and has
been confined in Georgetown Jail for
seven months awaiting trial.
It was proven that the well had been
poisoned with arsenic, aud that the boy
and cattle died from drinking it; also that
Evans had had trouble with Rosser and
that he threatened to kill them. He was
traced step by step to within few miles
of the poisoned well, aud George Collins
testified to his eating supper at his house.
The defence broke down the last evil
dence, and, while proving nothing for
Evans, they cast doubt upon the chain
of fcircumstantial evidence the State woYe.
All the evidence was in by Friday night
last, and the arguments closed on Mon
day. The Jury was charged by Chief
Justice Lore on Tuesday morning, and
after an bour's deliberation the jury came
in with verdict Of not guilty.
The general opini-n Of the people is
that Evans was guilty, but the evidence
in the case would not warrant a verdict
to that effect. The prisoner waa dis
charged and left towu rejoicing

The following, which will be of inter
est to the many friends and admirers Of
our former pastor Rev. G. w. Burke, we
clip from the Kent NesVs of April sth,
Millingtnn, Nd. items
Miss Nellie Burke, the oldest daughter Of
Rev. G. W. Burke. arrived here on Friday
last, sHd a reception was rendered her at the
the NJ. E. Parsonage.
| IN married life the man is always consid-
cred the worst half, therefore we have only
seen the worst half of Mr.. Burke, but so far
he has given perfect satisfaction to every
body. Mrs Burke or Mr.. Burke's better half
is expected here to-day, Saturday evening,
on the 6o4 train; an old time Methodist re-
ception and houseWarminR will be given
her by the ladies' of the church. A pleasant
time is anticipated, aud general invitation
is extended.
Prospects never seemed brighter for a
good fruit crop around this section than
at the present time. Nearly every vari-
ETY. of peach and pear trees are loaded
with buds just bursting into bloom.
Strawberry plants never looken better;
blackberry plants we're frozen back to
some extent last winter, but were not in
jured enough but what good crop is as
sured.
tits generally understood that Rev. T.
H. Haynes, who was appointed on this
circuit by the last NJ E Conference, will
be here 81 as to preach for US next Sum
day Unfortunately Mr.. Haynes was
taken sick Immediately utter conference
adjourned and has been confined to his
home in FELTON,, but is now able to be
put again. We have heard that Mr..
Haynes has not fully decided yet whether
he will accept this appointment or not.
This is a splendid place for a preacher
10 distinguish himself; but as Mr.. Haynes
s advanced in years and the work here
S very hard, perhaps he does not feel that
way inclined.
