GEO. L. TOWNSEND FOR PROTHONOTARY.
His Friends are Making an Active Fight to
Get Him the Nomination.

In another column will be found the
card of George l.. Townsend, Esq, a
candidate for the nomination of
the Republican Party for Pro-
thonotary of New Castle county.
Mr.. Townsend ought practically to
have a unanimous nomination. Out
sidei of the fact that he is eminently
qualified for the position, he is de-
serving of some recognition, because
to him, more than to any other man in
southern New Castle, does the party
owe debt of gratitude.
For years Mr.. Townsend has made
it a special object to see that every
man, black or white, no matter how
humble his station, was granted his
political rights as an American citizen,
to cast his ballot. In this respect Mr..
Townsend stood steadfastly to his
duty, when others wavered. Even tne
opposite party has held him in high es-
TEEN and regard, and whenever he has
been on the ticket, he has run far
ahead of his associates.
A gentleman was overhead to say
recently that if Mr.. Townsend was
nominated, a small village in St.
Georges Hundred having but six vot-
ers, all Democrats, would every one of
them to man, vote for him. Such is
the strength of the man who ought to
be nominated and eleted Prothonatary
of New Castle county.

was lively.
Mr.. Oscar Geisner and brother are
making some repairs on their farm
house near Cheswold. In putting on
new shingle roof they adopted the
new and novel idea of dipping them in
linseed oil to preserve them. They
found that 5000 shingles so dipped
consumed twenty-five gallons of oil,
besides the extra labor, but are com
| Portable under the belief that the roof
will not have to be renewed again in
their day. They are painters by trade.
W. Percy Evans received last week
from the Mccormick Manufacturing
Company a corn husker and fodder
shredder of the latest patent. They
claim it will husk corn if desired at
about the rate of about 1870 baskets per
hour and leave the fodder intact; or
it will shred the fodder and by the
blower process put in a loft or other
dry place and at the same time carry
the corn husked to a crib. For ease
of handling, however, it is preferable
to have the corn bound in bundles
when harvested in the field. The day
is probably not far distant when by
this line of machinery rapid corn husk-
ing will take the place of the now te-
dious methods, by farmers uniting
their forces as they now thresh wheat
from the field.
John H. Bishop staked off the dimen-
sions for new house III Cheswold on

1t is said that the owners of the
Ocean City fish pound are endeavor-
ing to establish fish refrigerator line
between Ocean City and some of the
principal cities of the West, whereby
fish taken from the ocean can be
packed and shipped daily, reaching
their destination in frst-class condi-
ton and without applying any of the
chemical preserving processes now in
vogue. If satisfactory arrangements
can be made with the Pennsylvania
railroad an experimental shipping of
a car load of fish fresh from the sea
without any precaution other than that
afforded by the ordinary refrigerator
car will be shipped daily as long as the
fish in sufficient quantity can be
caught in the many pounds placed just
outside Ocean City. This industry
would give employment to fully 100
expert fishermen.

Snakes Galore.

Passing the show window Of the
Hardin Bros. Second Hand store
this morning and noting a great
crowd about, the reporter squeezed
in to get peep at the attraction
and found it to be a glass cage wit h
wire netting top in which was
confined sixty odd snakes of all
species from the deadly cobra to
the sickening ratler and on down
to the harmless garter snake, the
bite of which is said to be no more
harmful than that of a mosquito.
We learned that the snakes be.
longed to a Mr.. Young, who is trav-
cling as a snake charmer, and who
will perhaps give an exhibition here
before he leaves. The snakes were
captured near San Antonio, Texas
and it is said Mr.. Young handles

ST. AGNES EXERCISES.
The Beginning of the Closing Exer-

Large Patronage Extended.

Last night the pupils of st, Agnes
Academy gave an entertainment,
the commencement of the closing
of the school for the summer, the
closing to be had tomorrow night,
at which time the diplomas will be
given to the three young lady grad
uates-Misses Katie Bann, Nettie
Motz and Cecil Semlear.
An excellent program WAS car
ried out, consisting of solos, DUETS,
trios, dialogues and pantomimes,
and all were we'll rendered and from
their grade and executions we must
express our highest admiration for
those who participated in the dit
ferent parts mentioned,
Among the good things rendered
were the Grade Song" "Lost
Among the Fairies" The Great
Melon Case" An Awkward Squad" "
and many others which we have
neither time nor space to mention,
that were equally as good.
The entertainment was full of
merriment and "109 laugh in a 1O8
minutes" and some have not ceased
laughing yet at the numbers which
sent everyone home in a pleasant
humor, and from the remarks we
overheard, some think that the
crowning success of the different
boys and girls in the parts partici-
pated in, was equal to that of SAC
tors on the American stage"
1t is useless to say that the en-
tertainment was the chit of the
season, as these words would hard
ly express it sufficiently. And with
the gifts and efforts of those dear
Sisters and also Miss Rosa Stone, of
st. Agnes Academy, who have
worked faithfully with their schol
ars to enable them to reach the
top of the 'ladder of fame" de-
serve great praise for their work,
which they have executed in an
artistic manner, which makes
their entertainment up-to-date and
one of the best and finest that
has been seenin this city, and we
we're more than highly pleased with
the commencement exercises of this
noble institution.
