Death of William K. Wright.

Last Friday morning Nov. list a
card was received from David NJ.
Wright, who lives in Philadelphia
announcing the death of his father
William X. Wright who died at
the home of his son on the day
previous, Thursday. The deceased
was in his Goth year and died of
consumption. He had been suffer
ing with that lingering but fatal
disease for several months.
Mr.. Wright was born in this
county a few miles from Elkton and
entered the Office of the Cecil Wing
in the morning of that papers
existence when under Palmer c..
Ricketts, the paper was struggling
for a secure foot-hold. Mr.. Wright
was but a small boy then, and
spent the greater part of his life in
that office. He went to New York
aud tried his fortune there for a
short time but returned again to
Elkton and his old place at the
case in the Wing office. For faith
full, conscientious work and upright
honesty and integrity, he had no
superiors and few equals. In the
course of a life which reached out
to the three score, and which was
one of steady labor, we don't think
he ever varied the breadth of a hair.
AS foreman in the Office for many
years, a good deal of money passed
through his hands, but not one
cent ever stuck to his fingers,
though there often was none to see
or detect what has become fashion
able to call irregularities
After leaving the Wing office
"for good" the Appeal was estab-
lished which he had charge of and
conducted about twelve years.
Broken in health he was compelled
to cease from labor and Mr.. Taylor
became owner of the property.
His religious sentiments were
severely austere and unassuming
and his face was set like flint
against every thing like display
and vain show. He married Miss
Susan McNeal who with two sons
survive him. Well done good and
faithful servant is an obituary
which a life well spent has richly
earned, and just such as he would
choose had he the power to choose.
The remains were brought to
Elkton on Monday last and inferred
in the Elkton cemetery.

Arrested For Horse Stealing

John Toy the young man who saw
a horse and buggy without AN owner
in sight on the street at Elkton one
pight last week took possession and
drove to Wilmington where he of
fered the property for sale, but was
arrested before he found a customer
as green as himself. Toy was held
in $500 bail to appear at New Castle
court. The probability is that he
will have an experience at the whip
ping post. After that he will pro-
badly be brought to Elkton and
kept in jail till the following term
Of court and from that be sent to
the House of Correction. After he
has been ''cOrrecteCF' at that institu-
lion and turned loose, he will steal
another turnout. The fellow evi.
IDENTITY has not sense enough for a
thief nor moral PERCEPTION sufficient
to discriminate between virtue and
vice. He possesses the cOvetous
inclination of thief and lacks
normal restraint and other necessary
mental qualities,

A Novel Case.

The grand jury of Kent county
brought in an Indictment against
Sheriff Dodd, for neglect of duty,
the charge being that the sheriff
failed to use every means for sum-
moning witnesses in a whiskey case.
The coroner served the writ and
the sheriff was placed under arrest.
the court after having held the
case under consideration for two
days rendered decision of acquit-
tai.
The moral of this incident is that
public sentiment is at long and last
beginning to assert itself at the out
RACES against it by neglect OF
public functionaries, and threatens
TORY at least to compel them to
do their duty. The public knows
beforehand exactly what kind OF
men it is voting for and that they
can't be trusted, but is such slave
to party that it hasn't manhood
sufficient to talk and vote against
all such candidates.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Sadtler Of
Baltic, and Mr.. Cecil r. Banks of
the Wilkesbarre bar accompanied
the remains of their mother, Mrs.
Thaddeus Banks, to Hollidaysburg,
Pa, on the 18th ult. where they
were laid beside those of her
husband in the family lot. AS
stated at the time, Mrs. Banks died
in Baltimore at the home of her
daughter in the early summer, with
whom she had made her home
since the death Of her husband,
Hon. Thaddeus Banks, who died
fifteen years ago.
Mrs. Banks was a daughter Of
Reuben and Henrietta Marie Crom-
well Reynolds, and grand daughter
of the late John Hammond Crom-
well and Mary Hammond Dorsey,
his wife, of Cecil county. Mr.. and
Mrs. Banks spent forty years of
their married life in Hollidaysburg.
There are many men and women of
to-day who were orphans of the
late war who owe their early educa-
ton to the untiring efforts of Mrs.
Banks in her cooperation with the
late Andrew G. Curtin the war
governor of Penna., in the estab-
lishment of the schools for soldiers
orphans; and after the schools were
established her zeal never wearied
until boys and girls of untold
numbers had their futures assured
through her efforts. Mrs. Banks
left four children, viz: Mrs. Am
brose Ewing, of Tennessee; Mrs.
Mary Henrietta Stacey, of New
York; Cecil Banks, Esq, of Wilkes
barre, and Mrs. Della Sadtler, of
Baltimore. Mrs. Kathleen Banks
Porter, her oldest daughter, died
just two months before her mother.

Mrs. Banks was sister of Miss
Lizzie, Alex. and Henry Briscoe of
this place and has paid a number
of visits here. Her large fund of
knowledge and rare conversational
powers were always a source of
great pleasure to her many friends.

AnImpor1ant effloe.

To properly fill its Office and functions,
it is important that the blood be pure.
When it is in such condition, the body
is almost certain to be healthy. A COM
plaiHt at this time is some of its various
forms. A slight cold develops the disease
in the head. Droppings of corruption
passing inlo the lungs bring on consump-
ton. The only way to cure this disease
is to purify the blood. The most obsti-
nate cases of c4tarrh yield to the med

by magic, simply because it reaches the
seat of the disease, and by purifying and
vitaiizing the blood removes the cause.
Not only does Hoods Sarsaparilla do this
but it gives renewed vigor to the whole
system, making it possible for good health
to reign supreme.

SEALING IN LABRADOR.
Fields Many Miles Square Fairly reeming
 With Seals.

Late in February the Newfoundland sealing steamers break through the ice in St. John s harbor and make their way to some northern outposts, lying there until March 10, the earliest date on which the law allows them to Ego to the ice. " They stand out to sea until they meet the immense fields of ice from the Arctic ocean. These fields arc often many square miles in extent and fairly teem with seals. 4 great seal hunter told me that the sea seemed suddenly converted into an ocean of seals and ice. The steamer breaks into the jam and floats with 1t or skirts along the edge, the crew, 200 or 300 in number, taking to the floating ice and living there for days and nights.
 The young seals fatten so rapidly that sealers say you can actually see them grow while you are looking at them. The poor creatures are easily killed, & blow with the butt end of gaff finish ing them.

sAYREvILLe,s AMAZING HuEs.
4 Jersey Blasphemy Tn Yellow Set In 2
 Symphony of Blue.


 Probably the most remarkable bit of color to be found within radius of 100 miles from this city is the little hamlet of Sayreville, N J. From an artists point of view Sayreyille is impression istic in the nightmare sense of the word. It's surroundings are beautiful, for it stands on a little bluff overlooking q spreading marsh, through the center of which sparkling river runs to lose itself in a rift of the faraway hills. The marsh is dull, grayish blue, the river gives steel blue effect, and far away the distance of the hills blends in soft gradations into the hue of tho sky. In the midst of this gem of landscape stands Sayreyille, yellow in every sense of the word. 1t is a blasphemy in yel- low set in a symphony in blue.
 In the neighboring villages there is legend as to how Sayreville became yell low. They say that when the town was first built there wasn't painted house in 1t, and that one day an onterprising peddler on his notion selling rounds saw in this an opportunity for money making. He procured a large quantity of damaged paint at nearby city, all of the paint being in various hues of yellow, from bright orange down to the dullest buff. This paint he oarted to Sayreville and sold at low prices, and still with large profit to himself Then the town set about painting Itself vel low. Some of the people pooled their interests and their paints and ornament ed their houses with the combination. Others ran to stripes, and having used up one tint filled in with the rest. One man tried polka dots in chrome on background of greenish buff, with bril- liant effect When the work was done, the peddler came back with big con signment of staring green, which the townspeople bought and with which they painted their blinds The result was pleasing to the Sayreyillers, but startling to such few outsiders as chanced to journey to that town.
 In the course of time two household CTS found courage to break away from the prevailing yellowness. One repaint- ed his house in robin egg blue, the other tinted his a deep magenta, and now these two buildings stand out con- spieuously and give just enough color tone to the village to accentuate it's amazing effects in yellow New York Sun
