% tiie order OF Cen John NJ. Schofield as
Acting Secretary OF War. for an alleged
violation OF military law
Ihe oi1ense Is understood to have been
tiIe writing OF an offensive letter 10 Gen
schofield by the subordinate Officer but
the contention OF counsel is that the arrest
and Imprisonment were without the Tor.
niaiity OF prior charges.
The Appellee. Col. Closson who is com.
inandant at the Arsenal. was represented
by Attorney j. n. Morrison. and Major
rnles by RalstOn and Siddons.
The appeilee's contention was that
primarily there was no power whatever to
cause his arrest. and. secondly. that his
arrest was under any construction uu.
warranted. because he was not first In.
formed OF the charges against him. This
view was combatted by Attorney Mos

A Favorable week.

Eastern Maryland and Delaware
past week was favorable for all growing crops
except during the prevalence of the cool
wave of the 9th and 10th. Wheat thrashing is
n progress with somewhat variable yields, as
elsewhere the general yield is at least fair
Corn is doing well on both high and low lands
and is coming in tasse. Haying is about
finished, with excellent results. Oats will
be cut during the coming week. Tomatoes
and potatoes are thriving. Peaches, apples
huckleberries and backberries are being
shipped. The crop of berries is large, AMI
heavy shipments of peaches are being made
from Milford. Delaware.
Rising Sun, Cecil County.-Showers sth
and 11th. Poor harvest week; although there
was fair average of sunshine, air seemed
loaded with moisture. Oats ripening Some
grass to cut yet. Potatoes coming on beauti-
fully, and weeds not far behind.
JOHN Il. ALLEN
Chesapeake City.-The past week has been
an improvement on the week previous.
Thrashing wheat has commenced; yield, so
far, not very fiatteriDg. Oats will be harvested
this week coming. Farmers busy finishing

funeral at Hart's NJ Il. Church practically
becomes family gathering, each member of
which feels personal sense of bereavement
whenever death invades their community
Such was the case on Sunday last when the
church was crowded by men and woman, who
each mourned the loss of faithful Christian
friend. The pastor of the church, Rev. Z. /.
Kirby. conducted the service making a deeply
impressive prayer, while former pastor of
that church and close personal friend of the
deceased, Rev. L. W. Layfleld, of Epworth
Church, Wilmington, preached an eloquent
funeral sermon. the choir led by Mr.. George
Gainor singing impressively several favoritc
hymns of the deceased, and Messrs. VIM. j
Clark, VIM. j. Wilson, Samuel j. Rceder.

Church has lost supporting pillar, and
every young member of it, wise counsellor
and friend.

FELL TO HIS DEATH.
Oscar SmithSOn, of Liberty Grove,
Drowned in the SuSquehanna River,

I While walking across the P, w. & b. rail-
road bridge over the Susquehanna river at
Perryville on Tuesday night, Oscar Smithson,
Of Liberty Grove fell into the river and was
drowned. The body was recovered on Wed
nesday afternoon.
Smithson, accompanied by Wm. McKeever.
had crossed the bridge to Havre de Grace at
eleven o'clock that night and started to walk
back at midnight McKeever states that
when near the draw. which is about 500
yards from the Havre de Grace side a freight
train was seen approaching and the two got
OIL the track on to one of the bridge platforms
After the passage of the train the men re-
sumed their walk Mckeever getting safely
on the footway. Smithson either made a
nisstep or lost his balance and fell throuc h
the bridge. In the dense darkness McKeever
