For years the Delaware river has Bot
been such an ice rock bound, rugged and
Arctic-looking stream as to-day and all
shipping has forsaken the stream for
some safe harbor, except the Ice boats
and large tugs. All day yesterday only
one vessel attempted t. plow through the
icy stream and she had q perllous job Of

pretty Ericsson steamboat that had come
mp the canal from Baltimore.
A dispatch from Lewes, Del, last
night. stated that the ice reached two
thirds Of the way from the shore 70 the

tuAs in the harbor were at the Iron Pier

Excitement at Berryville.

There has been considerable excite
ment at Berryville the past week. The
white people were determined, it Is
reported, to take from the jail and
lynch the negro Henry Robinson,
charged with criminally assaulting
Miss Maggie NOlls. On the other
hand, the cOlored folks grew very
demonstrative and threatened to storm
the Jail and release Robinson. Last
Sunday the sheriff of Clarke county
swore in twenty deputies in order to
protect the jail from either party. That
night the negroes were overawed and
a mob of white men was formed.
When it reached the jail the deputies
commenced firing, and the crowd soon
retired in great disorder, and did not
again reassemble. Monday the author
tiles wired the Governor for aid, and
the Monticello Guards, of Charlottes-
vile, Captain Kellar, of the Second
Virginia Regiment, arrived at $50
p. II.
Yesterday afternoon the negrO's
trial was concluded, the jury finding
him guilty and fixing his punishment
at fourteen years in the penitentiary.
He was taken by the soldiers to Char
lottesville for safe-k keeping.

Death of Everett Crow.

Everett Lawson Crow, only child Of
Alexander and Molhe Crow, died last
night at 9 o'clock at his home half
way between Shepherdstown and
Sharpsburg. On Monday of last week
Everett fell from a cherry tree and
broke his arm in two places, the bones
protruding from the flesh. His arm
was badly mangled, probably having
been caught in a paling fence. a
few days afterward symptoms Of lock-
jaw set in, and his spine appeared to
be affected also. He grew steadily
worse until death relieved his suffer
ings last night. The deceased, who
was in the 18th year of his age, was
boy of gentle and lovable disposition,
and his sad death brings to his parents
and grandparents the keenest sorrow.
They have the kindest sympathy Of
their friends and neighbors. The fu-
neral service will be held tomorrow at
2 o'clock, and the remains will be in
TERED in Mountain View Cemetery,
Sharpsburg.

About Wheat.

Mr.. G. T. Hodges, one of our grain
dealers, informs the REGISTER that the
wheat now being threshedin this vicin-
ity is of very good quality, reports to
the contrary notwithstanding. He
says it is almost up to the standard
of last years crop, which was unusu-
ally good. The first new wheat Of
the season was the crop of Mr.. A. S.
cambridge, which was purchased by
Mr.. Hodges on Monday at 81 cents
seven cents more than wheat is worth
today. Mr.. Dandridge's crop yielded
about q bushels to the acre.
The wheat market took a bad slump
this week, dropping about ten cents
on the bushel. Dealers here are pay
ing today IS @ 60 cents. The cause
of the decline is said to be the forcing
upon the market of great quantities
of wheat by spectators who could not
pay their margins. Heavy shipments
from Russia, India and Argentina have
also flooded the foreign markets. Yes
terday the market improved and the
price went up three cents.
