During those days Aunt Dooia lay
| with her face to the wall and said
nothing, but the south bedroom may
have stretched far away to green bill
top in the days when youth and pa
rental care made life happy holiday.
where the birds sang first in the morn
ing and the sun shone through peaceful
afternoons, and the orickets and the
twinkling stars came out together to
make the long twilights glorious. Pos
sibly she watched for the going out Of
her revered father as he led the congre-
cation to the old meeting house on Sun
day, and her ear may have heard again
the sound of his voice from the high pull
pit in prayer and benediction. All this
before the shadow came into her life.
And one night in midwinter the wind
swept over that old hilltop and dashed
against the trees that the old minister
had planted as if it would uproot them,
and their boughs bent and shrieked in
their resistance, but they did not break
only stretched their arms more pro-
tectively over the old house, and in the
morning the youngest of his daughters
lay dead under its roof-the same roof
that sheltered her in the hour of her
birth.
The burial plot of the minister's fam
lily was full almost to crowding, but
room must be made for one more, and
the doctor went with his men to see
that everything was done "decently and
in order. F"
AS shovelful after shovelful of earth
was thrown up something large and
round rolled into the open space from
the adjacent grave. The doctor was on
the alert. The arm that guided the
shovel was seized as in vise
"Mikel" The doctors voice trembled
as did his strong hand that staid Mikes
arm.
Mike looked up bewildered, but the
doctor was already in the open grave
beside him. STOPPING he picked up some
thing, sprang quickly up and took off
his hat, for this that he held in his
hand he knew to be the skull of his re-
mote predecessor, the first physician of
the township. Half an hour after he |
stood in Rev. Mr.. Bingham's presence.
"Talk of suicide, sirl The basest libel |
ever fabricated Look here, sir A COM
fracture! God Almighty took |
this mans life, sir! He took morphine, |
laudanum, as he needed, to allay pain. |
This vile aspersion upon the character of |
this dead man, sir, my professional |
brother, must be removed over the coffin |
Of his WIFE"
The Rev. Mr.. Bingham preached such
q funeral sermon in that meeting house |
the following Sunday as was never
preached before and never will be again
on earth. He held up the skull in the
pulpit and showed to his people the
fracture, indicating it with
his finger.
The older ones remem bered having
heard that the doctor had fallen from
his horse, and that he suffered from
great pain in his head
And so it came to pass that the grave
gave up its secret, that the true history
Of this mans death was read, and the
shadow which had rested so heavily
over his name and house was lifted-{
after many days. Sarah de Wolf

Battle at New Bridge.

A bloody fight took place at New
Bridge on Saturday last between
John Dorsey and Jacob Fell and
their respective partisans.
Dorsey lives in a house at that
place owned by John Ferguson, and
which Fell had rented for the ensu-
ing year. Fell appeared on the
ground on Saturday mornidg with
a load of household goods and
ordered Dorsey to get out.
Dorsey's wife was sick and he re
fused to vacate. Fell was warned
off, but insisted on taking posses
sion and knocked Dorsey down with
a club. The women then took a
hand and Mrs. Dempsy was knock
ed down. Her husband was in the
house and came to the rescue. Fell
still using his club like the prim-
tive man, next knocked Dempsy
down and called to one of his boys
to knock Dempsy in the head with
a stone. The boy FASTENED to obey
orders and picking up a large stone
pounded the PROSTATE man on the
head, inflicting serious wounds.
Fell did not succeed in evicting the
former tenants and has not been
arrested. Constable Briscoe soon
after the battle appeared on the
ground but too late to take an
active part in the scrimmage.

The Gold Seekers.

The gold mining syndicate are
making preparations to commence
mining on an extensive scale this
spring. They have purchased 400
acres iu the Eighth district, EN-
bracing the most barren tract in
that region of country. The land
is the black jack, timber, green
brier and honey comb stone tract.
The company are having careful
surveys made of the several tracts
purchased from former owners.
The lands have been carefully pros
pected, specimens taken out and
analysed. They appear to be
working very carefully and me
thodically.
The company held an option on
one party's land for which they
paid $500, but were not to be per-
mitted to prospect by digging
unless he was paid 5000 additional.
The owner of the land granted their
agent the privilege to dig a couple
of holes, pointing out a spot where
he might sink them. The agent
preferred to choose the spot on his
own judgment, and offered $500 to
dig at another place not far distant
The privilege was accorded OF
course. Pieces of this barren soil
have been sold for 800 an acre,
and the crisp greenbacks paid
down, that $500 would formerly
have been big price for.
The company have secured water
right on Conowingo creek, which
will be used for washing the min
eral. Steam power will be used fol
running the stamping machinery
The transition from poverty t.
comparative affiuence has been ;
remarkable experience with som,
worthy citizens of the old Eight
district.

Baby's Smooth, Fair Skin
Is Due to Hoods SarsapariIIa-It
Cured Him of Dreadful Scrofulous
Sores Now in Good Health.

cat the age of two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the local external an.
plications that we could think or hear OF.
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side of his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore made its appearance on his arm.
1t grew worse and worse, and when he
was three months old. began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1 also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were we'll and
have never returned. He is now four years
old, but he has never had any sign of
those scrofulous sores since he was cured
by Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel
very grateful. My boy owes his good
health and smooth, fair skin to this great
medicine" MRS. S. s. WoRTEN, Farm
ington, Delaware.
