In the notice of this ladys decease,
recently copied in the WIG, it was not
mentioned that she was native of Har-
ford county. and in her girlhood resi-
dent of Port Deposit. Until the very
last days of her earthly life, Mrs. Wilmer
found pleasure in conYersing of her
early friends aud of the beautiful scenery
of this portion OF Maryland. Though
long a resident of Brooklyn, N. y, she
regularly and with unfailiug interest
scanned the columns of the WHO, to
find the old familiar names of families
who, even in her youthful days, had been
prominent in Hartford and Cecil. Mrs.
Wilmer was proud of her native state,
and she was woman any State might
have owned with pride. In youth she
was distinguis bed not only for her
beauty, but for the most exquisite sense
of womanly dignity and delicacy of feel
ing. To the age of n years, she pre-
served a remarkable degree of strength,
activity and personal attractiveness. In
dying she expressed no regret except for
the grief which she knew that her
dew oted children would feel at losing
her, aud she calmly declared, "What.
ever pleases God, pleases me-"

A Base Ba(W)H Game.

Of him, nobody would want to know

the thermometer at ninety outside, and the

to vile away the waiting moments, the
porspirlug oolter of the Indian river salts

and by the rapid rate at which the nutty
crackers and the spicy pickles disappeared

he baw led for more pickles, and Mr.. Giles
repleushed the dish and scored 'em extra

peared upon the scene. With characteristic
promptness this hungry customer assaulted
it with open hands and open mouth just
at this emergency IA small negro boy put in
an appearance, and reckoning Mr.. Giles to

passed down his glowing gateway for un-
paid-ior messes. Suddenly the gastronomlc
| echo died out upon the circumambi bent air,
and only the busy hum of the big bottle fly
as he fed about the surrounding ranks OF
berries and bananas disturbed the ear.

a side door the now irate caterer caught

disappeared through the back yard, and
