to save the souls of the wicked;
they have held nightly services for
month past, but still there are
no appeals for forgivness from sin.
This must be discouraging from a
religious standpoint; when we see
the drunkness, hear the profanity
and witness the fights and brawls.
Last Saturday night after the ar
rival of the train from Milford
there was three different scraps be-
tween men of some prominence
locally. Even the school boys
have followed the general example
and indulge in fights on their way
home from school; but the worst
part of the whole matter is, the
lowering of public morals, for re-
Gently petty thieving around the
school house is causing trouble.
One mother has aroused the teach
er's ire. He has taken his own
money to replace stolen articles,
and attempted to control the matter
for peace and deacency.
In our twenty-six years CORE
spondence for the CHRONICLE we
have had several differences with
the readers of this paper, but it re-
mained for Samuel G. Fisher, the
notorious Sam Fisher, to vomit in
deacency and abuse upon us for
placing his name in company with
decent men; whose pardon we now
ask for that insult. His grievance
was, that his name was enumerated
with the many republican visi-
tors who attended the inaugural
cermonies at Dover, and he claimed
that we claimed that we classed
him as a republican. We were not
aware that we said anything un-
kind, but highly complimented so
low a character by placing his
name in decent company. His
indecent TRADE against us, the
CHRONICLE and its editor is below
our notice; but just here we want
to say this vulgar character has
made trouble in this community
for the democratic party; more than
any paper, man, or money, and is
simply looked upon as a nuisance.
We are of the opinion of the late
Rev. J. S. Willis, when he ex-
pressed himself in that meeting
held some years back in Dorsey
Hall in Milford, where an indigna-
meeting was held. and where he
proclaimed that the only proper !
place for Sam Fisher was behind |
the bars"
He poses as the tool of ex-senator
Kenney, and this in a large meas
ure accounts for that gentlemans
growing unpopularity and loss of
political power; the democrats here
will have none of him, and the re-
publicans shun him.
We had no intention of doing
Sam Fisher an uukindness or class
him as 4 republican. We have
nothing to retract and on the con-
trary have facts that will make a
merry war for Samuel if he desire /
them. Probably a little glance
backward may be of interest to
democrats away from here, as to
Sam Fisher. At the first primary |
in the last campaign, he was badly |
beaten; and, standing in public, he
raised his hand and called upon
God to witness, that he was kicked |
out by the democrats, and that he
would defeat every democrat in
his power, prevent democrats from
registering and never attend an
other democratic primary; we sup
pose he stuck to it, and this being
the case, is not a democrat justi-
fed in CHASING him as a republi- /
can? Upon two occasions he has
refused to support the democratic
ticket as nominated, and with these
facts he is not trusted and is an in
jury to our good old democracy.
We don't desire to insult the repub-
licans by classifying him with
them, but will simply say that he
is a nuisance politically and social
ly.
On Sunday last Mr.. and Mrs.

her son.
