'Pulnfui Accident.
Mr Samuel Desbane, living near Chesa
peake City, Md, was thrown from his dear
born at tbe railroad crossing in Middle'own,
on Thursday morning, and tailing upon his
head, be was pretty badly hurt He was car
ried into tbe National Hotel, and it was found
that his neck was slightly dislocated, causing
severe pain

faeld by Coroner Groves It is supposed he
fell over the wharf and was too drunk to save
himself, and drowned.

Two colored damsels being rivals for the
Affections of a youthful Sambo, met jnst be
yond tho railroad on- Tuesday evening, and
-after some word quarreling concluded to set
tle the matter then aad there, so at it they
went scratching, clawing and manliag and
making the blood and wool fly to an extent
that must have gratified the most ardent ad
vocate of equal rights, until they were separ
ated by tbe bystandert, and departed, each
her own way, sadder if not better satisfied.
Tbe Potato Buga.
These pests hare put in an appearance in
-strong force. In many places the young
iplants are eaten off as fast as they come np,
and unless their ravages caa be stayed the
prospect for potatoes this year is very slen
der. A gentleman living below Odessa
thought to fool the bogs by putting his potato
patch fray down along tbe river, where he
imagined tiiey couldn't find it, but they
didn't fool worth a cent. He went to look
at his potatoes a few days ago and found
that the plagued bu^s had eaten the plants
off close to the ground, and one old fellow
was stationed upon a clod standing guard
over a place where a young plant was just
breaking through the ground waiting for it
to come np. So be avers.

Tbe Weather.
The drouth which has held sway for so
long and made the ground so dry and dusty
was partially broken on Tuesday by a gentle
rain Not a great deal of water fell, yet there
was enough to settle the dust, refresh vegeta
tion and give tbe young crops a start, and
everything looked better for tbe rain It did
not extend very far down the State In the
vicinity of Clayton the ground was scarcely
more than sprinkled and the drouth continues
unbroken Rain is very much needed and
unless some comes pretty soon the wheat crop
won't be worth much.
; Store Robbed.
The store of Themas Courey, Esq, in Cbes
apeake City, was entered, by prying open tbe
front door with an ax, on last Monday night,
j and fine goods, clothing, etc, to the amount
; of $1,000 taken therefrom. Tbe store is situ
i ated in the centre of the town, and on the
j main street where persons are passing pretty
much all night, and it is u wonder bow the
thieves could make so much noise without
|
being detected. No one sleeps in the build
ing, and the knowledge of this fact led the
, thieves to make such an extensive raid. Up
i to last accounts, nothing had been heard from
the 8tolen B ood9 ' ? et ever J effert is bein *
! made t0 ctt,ch tbf r »scals. L
Suicide.
■
Mr. Joshua F. Biddle, a farmer, well known
> D this vicinity, committed suicide by hflbg
! i Q £ himself at bis residence on the farm of
i Judge E. G. Bradford in Middle Neck, Cecil
county, Md., on Tuesday last. He was in
Middletown in the morning, and complained
of feeling very nervous. Returning home he
ate bis dinner ns usual, lit his pipe and
walked out. It seems that he went directly
to the bam, climbed upon a bin, took a trace
repe( tied one end t0 a rafter aad lhe other
about his neck, then jumped from the bin and
was strangled by ths rope.
Mr. Biddle bad been laboring under mental
! depression for several weeks brought about
b Y a 8eTere nervousness to which he has been
for 80me ,ime subject, but nobody thought
he had any idea of committing suicide. He
was about 55 years of age, and in no financial
difficulties.
lee Cream Saloons.
Mr. F. Taroni has taken tbe store-room on
the corner of Main and Broad streets, formerly
occupied by J. F. Eliason and fitted it up
nicely as a bread, cake and confectionery
store and iee cream saloon. Middletown can
now boast of two as fine, if not the finest, ice
cream saloons on the Peninsula. Mr. Rice,
at tbe Town Hall, has a very large and com
modious saloon handsomely fitted np and is
ever ready and willing to accommodate tbe
public with all manner of good things. He
keeps on hand a large supply of small paper
boxes for ice cream in which it may be cai
ried to any reasonable distance, thus afford
ing paterfamilias a fine chance to take the
cooling luxury home to their bereaved fami
lies when they stay out a little too late in the
evening.
The Trains on the Kent County R. R. t
From Chestertown to Masseys, now run
through to Clayton, instead of connecting
witb the Queen Annes road on to Townsend.
The change was made last Monday. This
makes Clayton quite a railroad centre ; the
leading station on the Delaware road and tbe
termini of two others, the Maryland & Dela
ware and the Kent County roads. It is un
derstood that the P. W. & B. Co. will put in
additional siding for the Kent road, from
which it is to be inferred that tbe new ar
rangement is to be permanent, though there
are intimations that the Kent may in time run
on through to Bombay Hook. This bardly
seems probable, however. The reason for
the change on tbe part of the Kent road, we
understand, was the high freight tariffit was
subjected to by the old route. For instance,
an article freighted from Philadelphia, for
which tbe P. W. A B. would charge 25 cts.,
to Townsend, the Queen Annes road would
also charge 25 cts. to Masseys, and then the
Kent road would have to charge 25 cts. more
to Chestertown, making 75 cents iu all. Now
the 25 cents from Townsend to Masseys is
saved to the shippers, and passengers by the
new route only have to change cars once—at
Clayton .—Smyrna Times.
Civil Rtgbta with a Vengeance.
On Monday last a young negro walked
into the post office at Newark, and, impu
dently tapping Mr. Miller, the postmaster,
upon the shoulder, insolently demanded pos
session of the office. Mr. M. not knowing
who the demandant was, replied by ordering
the impertinent negro out of the office.
Thereupon the latter drew his papers anl^
showed his authority for his demand as a U.
S. official appointed to inspect the workings
of post offices and announcing himself as a
son of the notorious Fred. Douglass. Mr.
Miller answered that he was busy at that time
assorting the moraing mail, but that as soon
as that was accomplished and the mail dis
tributed, he would give up possession to tbe
officer, and allow bim to make bis inspection.
This did not satisfy tbe indignant, and con
sequential "American citizen of African
descent" and be marched out of the office
threatening vengeance, and promising to re
port Mr. Miller to tbe Postal authorities for
not yielding the office when he demanded it.
Oar informant says that the negro acted in
n most disgustingly impudent manner.
Mr. Miller is a gentleman of remarkably
mild and courteous maimers aed not apt to
be over hasty in taking or avenging insults,
but had he kicked that negro out of bis office
he would have but served bim right.

CUT THIS OUT,
It May Save Your Life.
There is no person living but who suffers
less witb Lung Disease, Coughs,
Colds or Consumption, yet some would die
rather than pay 75 cents for a bottle of
medicine that would cure them. Dr. A.
Boscbee's German Syrup has lately been in
troduced in this country from Germany, and
its wondrous cures astonish every one that
try it. If you doubt what we say in print,
cut this out and take it to Dr. G. G. Cham
berlain, Middletown, Del., or H. P. Baker,
Odessa, Del. and get a sample bottle for 10
cents and try it, or a regular size for 75 cts.

Every Seven Years, physiologists say, the
human body is entirely changed and renewed.
Every moment of our lives, every part of our
bodies is wearine out and is being built up
anew of fresh matter. This work is accom
plished by tbe blood which goes through
every part. But if the blood becomes weak
or vitiated, and does not perform its work
properly, tbe system is actually poisoned by
the worn-out matter clogging the vital organs
instead of leaving the body. For dyspepsia,
biliousness, kidney, skin and liver troubles,
fevers and all deseases arising from vitiated
blood, Da. Walker's California Vineoar
Bitters are a sovereign remedy.

JOHSTES'
Adjustable Peach Assorter.
With the above machine, a man with the assistance of two good boyi can easily enll 1000
baskets of peaches per day, taking out the leaves, soft and specked fruit, and assort the bal
ance into three sixes (callings, primes, and extras,) far more accurately than it can be done
by hand ; with an increased force, the capacity of the machine is (comparatively speakjng)
nnlimited. But as the reputation of the first Assorter was felly sustained by those in uselast
season, I merely wish to state that they will be
BUILT UPON ORDERS ONLY,
and those who may favor me with their orders will have until the 25th of May tocountermand
the same, should the fruit be injured in the meantime. For terms please see circular. The
price therin named is the result of close figuring, based upon what they cost me to have them
built by the hundred, and as the probability is that sj many will net be needed hereafter, it
will be to the growers' interest to secure them this season.
