He Defied the Law.

Some months ago the farm of J. West
Foard in Appoquinimink hundred was
disposed of at public sale to his brother,
Sewell Ford. and by him rented to W. H
Hill. Mr.. Hill prepared to move in few
days ago, but found that Ford had taken
possession and had been subsisting on roots,
herbs and such vegetables as he could pick
up. He was nearly starved, and said that
he had not tasted bread for three weeks.
Mr.. Hill wanted to assist him, but was
denied admittance, and walked to the gate.
Hearing some one behind him, he turned
in time to see Ford raise an axe with an
evident intent to murder him. He called
assistance and Ford ran back to the house
and barricaded the doors, since which time
he has refused all food, and prevented the
entrance Of the owner. or anyone else. Hill
went before Justice J. William R. Reynolds
Monday and issued warrants for the arrest
of Ford.
A posse was at once despatched to arrest
the invader, and after some difficulty he was
brought before Magistrate Reynolds, who
committed him for the Superior Court.

Lent.

The word Lent" is from an Anglo.
Saxon word meaning spring." and "Eas-
ter" was the name of festival in honor of
the goddess of spring. These names changed
from their heathen significance, have sur
yived just as the names of the days of the
week have. The word Easter" appears
once in the King James version of the Bible
and there it is used to designate the Jewish
Feast Of the Passover. The instance occurs
in the Book ofthe Acts. In earlier versions
of the Bible the word was often used in
that way.
At the present time, in this country,
Lent is regarded in widely different ways
by different people. To some it is season
of special penitence and preparation for the
Easter feast; others welcome it as a period
Of blessed relief from burdensome and bor-
ing social functions; still others do not
think about it at all, Yet because of the
patronage accorded to it of late years by
society. = II has conquered general pub
lie recognition that was not accorded to ii
even generation ago.

The Rev. l. L. Wood and Rev. F. H.
Moore visited Dover on last Thursday in
order to secure the signatures of the re-
quired number of Senators and Represent
atives to a petition to the legislature to
order an election at which the legal voters
of New Castle rural district could vote
upon the question of local option. The
new constitution directs that when a ma
jority of the Senators and Representatives
sign such a petition that the legislature
shall order such an election. The sigma
lures of three Senators and six Repre-
sentatives were required and the Rev.
gentlemen secured two of the three Sem
ators and four of the required six Repre-
sentatives and were therefore unable 10

Frances Fl. Latimer, all of whom were
heartily in favor of this action.
