The Fisher Libel Case Ended.

The case of libel against several of
Mllford's prominent citizens in the Su-
perior Court at Georgetown was settled
on Tuesday last, and what promised to
be famous case was abruptly ended.
The case was brought by Samuel G..
Fisher, the president of the Sussex
County Levy Court, against those who
took part in the drawing and debate on
resolutions adopted at an Indignation
meeting held in Milford on November
26 last.
The meeting was held as the result of
the Sussex County Levy Court refusing
for time to count in certain Repub-
hcan assessors elected in Sussex county
ON account of claimed irregularity in
returns. Mr.. Fisher was scored by the
resolutions and by the speakers, one of
whom was Congressman j. S. Willis.
Suit was brought for libel and when
the case was called on Tuesday in
Georgetown the defendants counsel
read disclaimer in open court, where
upon the plaintiff discontinued all cases.
The defendants paid the costs. The suit
cost each man $4.-Milford Herald.

SMYRNA DEL. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER % l895

Quaker bonnets of the same texture
and color. The men were in brown
and drab broadclotb suits, with broad
brimmed hats to match. Great was
their CONSERVATION at the kind of con-
veyance provided for them. Six people
! got into the cart, the seventh and quite
willing occupant being Cousin Sam.
The ladies were seated on the clean
straw in the bottom of the vehicle, and
the men were crowded fore and aft on
the two benches. Loud was the outcry
when the tempestuOus progress COM
menced. Cousin Sam said nothing, but
smiled broadly from time to time. He
never was so happy as when others
were uncomfortable. Just as they came
from the corduroy road to a Jlt of
ground several inches deep in dust, over
went the cart backward, and out rolled
the whole party. How the women
screamed And how forlorn they
looked as they picked themselves out Of
the road But John noticed that Sam
did not go over with the rest, and that
there was twinkle in his steel-blue
eyes while he pretended to cOndole with
his guests over their comical plight.
Therefore John came to the conclusion
that the whole thing had happened in
tentionally. He already owed Sam
grudge for the way he had treated poor
little Elizabeth, and resolved to pav
him in his own coin. SO a day or so
afterward, when Sam invited the men
of the party to take a drive and inspect
the business arrangements of the plan
tatiOn, John and the others concocted
plan Of campaign that greatly aston
ished the practical joker.
The cart was jolting over the same
soft bit of road when off came wheel.
Down went Sam into the dust, rolling
over and over before he stopped The
others had jumped out, and so avoided
being upset
"This is very extraordinary !'' ex-
claimed Sam, ruefully rubbing his head,
and not attempting to rise from the
hollow which had arrested his progress;
he seemed half dazed by the fall. "The
coupling pin must have come out some
where down the road"
''Here it is now," said two of the |
young men. eve have just picked it
up"
Sam was silent moment then he
slowly rose.
Boys" he said, with sickly smile,
you found it too quick Now jump
in again.
care thee sure thereIl be no more
accidents 2" said John.
Sam looked suspiciously at his cousins
merry face.
$50 thou art the man r' he said.
'Well, we are quits, John. In future
thee art quite safe with me. :"
There was general laugh which Sam
enjoyed least of any, perhaps, and then
the cart went rattling over the road as
noisily as ever.
John and Elizabeth left the planta-
tlon soon afterward, and rode in an OK
cart to the landing but this time their
progress was decently slow. They
never returned to the place, though
often urged to do so by Mr.. and Mrs.
Elizabeth had a woman's ter
'or of practical jokers, and would not
accept the invitation.

Ever a Song Somewhere.

Ihere Is ever song somewhere, my dear
There is ever something sings alway;
There's the song of the lark when the sky is clear
And the song of the thrush when the sky is gray,
Inc sunshine showers across the grain.
And the bluebird trlls in the orchard tree,
And in and out when the caves drip rain,
The swallows are twittering ceaselessly.
Ihere is ever song somewhere, my dear,
Be the skies above dark or fair;
There is ever song that our hearts may hear
There is ever a song somewhere, my dear
There is ever song somewhere!
Ihere is ever song somewhere my dear,
In the midnight black or the midday blue;
The robin pipes when the sun is here,
And the cricket chirps the whole night through
The buds may blow and the fruit may grow,
And the autumn caves drop crisp and sere:
But whether the sun, or the rain, or the snow,
There1s ever song somewhere, my dear.
Ihere Is ever song SOmewhere my dear,
BE the skies above or dark or fail:
There is ever song that our hearts may hear
Ihere IS ever song somewhere, my dear
Ihere is ever song somewhere!

CRIMINAL CARELESSNESS.
Correspondence to the Times.
Mr.. EDITOR

Correspondence to the Times.
Mr.. EDITOR:
About every alternate day the papers
report some children burned to death
or buildings burned from children play
ing with matches. The next column.
or on the next page, somebody has been
foollng with a loaded revolver. OF
course some innocent person is shot
and killed. Perhaps it was aimed and
snapped at the person. What else is to
be expected? think it is high time
that public attention was called to this
prevailing recklessness with regard to
matches and firearms.
The sad and awful calamities daily
occurring seem to have no effect in
checking this deadly work. Is is not
time that parents and guardians should
be held responsible Let the coroner's
jury report criminal carelessness, in
stead OF accidental death. If the grand
jury was to indict the responsible part
les for manslaughter in such cases a
few times think it would at least check
the evil. What business have children
with matches ? Are there not play
things enough for them that would not
endanger their lives or the destruction
of buildings
Didn't know it was loaded" is a
poor excuse. The owners of revolvers
ought to know that if mischief is done
with them they will be held responsible.
1t would be difficult suppose to en-
act any law that would be effectual in
securing proper care, but it is easy
enough to hold the owners of matches
and of firearms responsible for any and
all mischief done when children have
been allowed the handling of them.
But how about the grown up children >
The greater mischief is done by them.
l think it was Mr.. Jefferson who said
he did not know how to draw a bill Of
indictment against a majority of the
people. A majority of men smoke and
OF course they all carry matches. They
strike them and then throw them down |
without looking where they go. and
then cannot conceive how the barn
could possibly have caught fire.
As long as the game of carving
matches and throwing lighted ones
about goes on We may expect destruc-
tive fires Witness Salisbury and Del
mar Boys little more than knee high
to a man may be seen any day or night
striking their matches and smoking.

age. Your On CoRREspoNnp,,r

Do Not Stand When Praying.

The practice of standing during
prayer has almost gone out of use in
the Presbyterian churches. Twenty
five years ago nearly every prominent
male member of a congregation stood
up while the minister was praving
Now it is a rare thing for a member of
either sex to do otherwise than merely
bow the head. In the prayer meetings
many of the members kneel while pray
ing and the tendency to get on the
knees during prayer appears to be a
growing one.

soon to be married have fortunes which
amount in the aggregate to $77, 900, 900,

placed in a lump at $5s, 900, 900. 1t is

sign OF Republican rule in New York is

LETTER FROM FAUoUIER.

Correspondence Alexandria Gazette.l
MARSHALL, Nov. 9.-The late abun-
dant rains and mild autumn weather,
with thermometer at 70o, has gladden.
ed all in this section.
The numerous friends of Col. Mosby,
for some days critically ill at the home
of Mr.. J. 81. Foster, have been relieved
by the gallant Colonel's restoration al
most to health, thanks to the skill of
his physicians, Drs. Frost and Hicks,
and kind nursing. He has returned to
Warrenton.
The late Episcopal eonvocation at
The Plains, in Grace Church, was the
occasion of most pleasant and prof.
table assent blage there of eleven or
more clergymeG, most Of whom were
young mon, and excellent congrega-
tions morning and night to hear SER
mons, and for the discussion of themes
the convocation annually deliberate
| upon. This interesting gathering has
not met in Fauquier for some years
past. The convocation as presented
here is composed of youthful and earn
est Christian ministers, eleven of the
nineteen or more of this body being
present, among were the Revs. Nelson.
Goodwin, Lee, Kloman, Mead, Lewis,
Page and others. Fine sermons were
preached by Revs. G. w. Nelson,
Kinks, and Page. That of Rev. Mr..
Kinks could not be excelied. The de-
bate on home and foreign missions was
admirable. Much interest was added
to the services by the music and sing
ing of the choir.
We were glad to greet once more old
friends, among whom were hospitable
families of Mr.. Thomas Henderson and
Captain Drayton Meade-with the
former in 1S49, was our admission to
the Christian fold, at then old Salem.
Mr.. Henderson and his brother-in-law
Robert Beverly. ESQ.,, are now the senior
vestrymen of the parish and sole sur
vivors save our good friend Mr.. Temple
Smith, of Manassas.
Lately we have been favored to make
call at Bethel Academy. Since the
destructive fire there the gymnasium
has been renewed and q comfortable
house built for the new Professors, r..
NJ. Smith, and Crawley, and Captain
Kinney, all of whom are very pleasant
gentlemen, and eminent for talent and
scholarship, the reward for which they
secured at universities at home and
abroad. Prof Smith, the son of our
esteemed preceptor at the Warren
Green Academy days lang syne, though
lately made the "bete noir" of the par
sons, by charges that he denies the
truths of the Bible now, I was told,
conducts the morning prayers for the
cadets and has also Bible class. He
has just published neat volume,
Studies in the Greek New Testament, "
of which we hope to refer to later.
We add all praise to President Cleve-
land for his thanksgiving proclamation;
the holiday end prayers will do us all
good.
