A Cowardly Act.
[COMMUNICATED.1


EDITOR TRANsCRIpT.-In the arrest of the
colored lad ,Segars, officer Dixon was guilty
of an act of cowardly usurpation and bru
tality which should cost him his job. Last
Tuesday morning this fellow Dixon, with.
out adequate cause. put the nippers on the
boy, and then while he was thus manac1ed
struck him violent blow with his fist. and
next confined him for "a hours in the cold
and damp dungeon used as a town lock.
up-Dixon refusing to take him forthwith
before magistrate which he well knew to
be his duty. 1t is even said that this
police Gar. was going to send the boy to
New Castle for 80 days ION general princi-
ples' without accusation, hearing or any
thing! Had this outrage been perpetrated
upon white man with any friends or ap-
probation of the gross abuse of the rights
of a human being involved therein, this
Dogberry, together with the town, might be
treated to the luxury suit for damages for
false Imprisonment, etc. And it would
need, perhaps, but one such lesson to prove
to our town fathers that the conjunction of
fool and policeman's tin star is dan
gerous one.
This abuse of his functions by officer
Dixon is so gross that thepublic welfare de-
mands his immediate removal.

Jack Frost and Sweet May.

Tho cold wave of this week extended
over the whole country east of the Rocky
Mountains, with freezing temperature in
some of the northern States as far south as
the Carolinas. Young vegetation and fruit
generally are though. to be considerably
injured. There are various reports from
the peninsula fruit crop, but it is yet too
early to know to what extent it is injured.
In some sections the leaves as well as the
young fruit are dropping off the peach trees.
while in other places there seems to be but
little damage done. Queen Anne's and Kent
counties, Maryland, will doubtless have
fair crops, unless there are later blights to
destroy the present prospect.

HINTS TO ADVERTISERS.

All sorts of men must advertise,
From patriarchs to lads;
The baker ALWAYS needs his puffs,
The carpenter his adze.
The length of each advertisement
Needs cogitation solemn;
The angler only needs line,
But the general wants column
The tenor of their ads besides,
Needs long deliberations;
The old maid seeks "Help Wanted, Male"
The playwright, situations.
The printing, too, requires some care
AS one cannot deny;
The baby likes his in small caps,
The housewife uses pie;
So each and all must advertise,
Each finds his missing link,
The babe, the maid, the boy, the man,
Baptized in printers ink.
