DUCKS KILLED BY STORM.
With 700 wild ducks piled about them
and all secured without the expenditure
of one cent for ammunition, the good
people of Hog Island were a happy lot
last Saturday morning, says the Eastern
Shore Herald. The night before there
was a terrific storm. The wind howled
about the tower of the lighthouse; A
heavy, dense cloud seemingly enveloped
the light, and it literally rained ducks
of the ',brant species. The seeming
clouds were immense rlocks of ducks?
thousands of them. The upper deck
of the light was covered with the tooth
some birds. It was a veritable battle
of the birds against the elements.
Attracted and blinded by the lights,
the birds dashed against the sides of
the big structure, only to fall to the
deck or ground, dead or stunned.
Keeper Doughty and his assistants
gathered 450 on the upper deck, while
the people of the island waited below
and bagged 250 more.
A similar scene was enacted at Hog
Island some seven or eight years ago,
when the residents captured hundreds
of ducks and geese in a like manner.
Hog Island light is 286 feet high and
is the most powerful one between Cape
May and Hatteras.

On the 23rd of January her remains,
lovely even in death, were laid to nat
in thecemotery of Libcrty M. P. church
amid a larpe concourse of sorrow rela

difficult indeed for death to have found
a fairer mark. For three years, with
strong will but feeble constitution, she j
battled against that most dreaded of all
diseases, "The Great White Plague."
Amid her sufferings she was never
heard to complain, but looked to One
whose ways we are not given insight
to, but who "doeth all things well."
She remarked that but for her hope of
hoaven she would despair.

ty to Christ. The graces of the Holy
spirit, that adorned her active, indus
trious life, never shone more splendidly
than in her closing hours. She was
married December 18, 1878, to Dr.
Henry J. Edmonds, to whom she was
a model wife as long as he lived. Af?
ter his death, her only child, Mr. B. B.
Edmonds, became the inspjration and
joy of her endeavors. Her maternal
devotion was unsurpassed; her son was
ever present in all her thoughts, sac
ritices and labors. Bright and cheer
ful, kind and harmless, she had many
friends and no enemy. Her useful and
beautiful life came to a close February
1, 1908, and her funeral obsequies were
conducted the following day at Kilmar
nock meeting-house. The tender and
just tribute paid her memory by Rev.
Porter Hardy was amply endorsed
by the tearful interest of the many
friends that followed her to the grave.
