Tho quail-shooting season is on and it may not be amiss to give some suggestions as to the best way of lire- paring this finest of game birds for table.

Fiist, got your birds, a brnoo for each person to bo served, (which is a most trifling matter for the enthusiastic wing-shnts in Caroline,) and let them be dressed within a few hours after killed, us follows: Pluck tho birds dry and very carefully, breaking tho skin as little as possible, singo thoroughly, and open in the buck. After drawing wash carefully, in cold water, puncturing all spots where blood has congealed from the shot-wounds, and press them with hands or cloth to remove tho water as thoroughly as possible, then pliico on china platu or dish, and sit away in a cool spot for several hours before cooking. Iu cooking, pluco thoin in a baking-pan sufficiently large to avoid crowding, breast down, adding enough water to make a half inch in pan, season with peppur and salt, cover and boil, on of stovu, i slightly tender to tho touch of fork, placing on each, whilst boiling, a piece of butter thu size of a small marble. Turn the birds breast up, season with pepper and salt, as on the other side, dredge lightly i flour, baste with the essence iu tho pun, and pliico in ovun of the stove, uncovered, to brown. Baste frequently, cook slowly, until thoroughly done and delicately brown.

Servo steaming from the stove, with concomitants of Maryland bisciist.n and good cofTcc, and call all the epicures to sit in judgment of this Eastern Shore stylo of cooking quail. A Ilnllrimil to It is reported thai the Philadelphia, Wiimingluti and Baltimore Railroad Company has purchased a route for a brunch road from thu Delaware division tn Tolchestur Beach. By Ni'ii ill The WiJi of fill! Coast mill Geodetic Survey, in charting tho Chesapeake I and its trihntai it's, is progressing a i The piesent chart, by which navigators are guided, was made i yeaisagu. The storms and tides have made many changes in shore and channel lines. A striking instance of this is the gradual extirpation of Island.

It is only one-sixth a.s huge as it was fifty years ago. This island, judging from a definable subinaiinc ledge connecting it with Tilghmaii's, was undoubtedly at ono time tho lower end of Talbot county, and the four miles of navigable water which now intervenes was once occupied by the solid land. The island is now but a ghost ol' the beautiful plantation upon which, half a century ago, the Vatliants prospered. Great fields of wheat could then bo seen from the mainland and (locks of sheep grazed upon the spot where now a mile from shore the waters of the bay roll over. For several miles after entering tho Choptank the shore lines have been found to recede materially, but near the headwaters and at many points along the river not exposed to heavy storms or strong currents conditions have been reversed and the shores have been actually growing out into the water.

This rather unique feature of changing lines is duo to the presence of salt niarsli, which is of a substance practically impervious to tho action of the waves, and from its constantly decaying vegetation and the dobris washed down upon it by erosion of adjacent land and of greater elevation it presents great facilities as a laud producer. Although tho growth of land iu this manner is necessarily very gradual, tho changes that bo- voiiiu apparent when comparing the area of a marsh with so mo of 50 years ago are in many cases astonishing. CImlrH Contlrleil. Tho case of the State versus Matthew Chairs, colored, charged with the killing of Solomon Roberta, colored, on July 27th last, was called in the Controvillo court on Monday last. Thu facts in the case are substantially ns follows, as heretofore noted: On Saturday morning, July 2S last, Solomon Huberts, colored, tho trusted servant of Miss Susan Williams at tho "Hermitage," was missing, and after diligent search had been made for three days the body was found concealed under a straw stack, covered with blond and with tho skull crushed.

Detectives worn employed and several pel-sons wuro arrested, among them tho prisoners now on trial. After being in jail for'several days Mrs. Chairs made a confession to the effect that her husband, Matthew Chairs, did the killing and that she was prcsont. Jealousy on his part was given as the reason foi tho net. A great deal of interest was taken in the case, and a large ber of witnesses wore in attendance on tho trial.

State's Attorney J. Frank Harper employed Col. E. II. Brown to assist in thu prosecution.

and thu parents of Roberts employed in tho prosecution J. II. C. Leggaml John E. Wilson, while P.

B. Hopper was counsel for Matthew Chairs and James T. Bright defended Mrs. Chairs. The case occupied two days, and was given to tho jury Tuesday night.

Thu jury on Thursday brought in a verdict of murder in the first degree. His wife was convicted ol manslaughter. She was sentenced to ten years iu tho penitentiary. Cimrt Judges Siglur, Day and Dennis wero present at Tuesday's session of thu Orphans' Court. Sarah E.

Smith and Spencer Ross, administrators of John A. Smith, deceased, presented nil inventory and appraisement of tho personal estate, which was approved, and an order to sell was granted. T. Pliny Fisher, administrator of Wesley Roe, deceased, presented a list of sperate debts, interest account and final account of administration, which wore tippioved and passed, The bond of Albert R.

using such a route it wou)d bo no longer necessary to take tho passengers for Tolchcstor to Baltimore and thenco to tho icsiirt by boat, but trains would run direct to tho bench. llnu Ilila Month. Yale astronomers believe that thu grand shower of meteors predicted for last year will take place sometime in November. Tho swarm of shooting stars now a year overdue is called the Lconidcs, and takes place every II!) years. Dr.

Fred L. Chaso, in chavgo of the preparations for making now scientific discoveries relative to tho swarm said: "There is just as much reason to expect tho shower of Leunides to full this year as there was a year ago. From some points of view there is a greater probability. How much the groat meteoric shower tho coming month will do for tho world of science can only bo conjectured. All doubt will bo settled by tho display of the great shower." FOR MORE THAN THlRTY-FIVt YEAR: All lliiHfi-rii With Ihutj Keen Republican success ln tho Kastern Shoro at tho recent election was a milookcd for by most members of tho successful party as it was by tho Democrats.

It is said that Mr. Jackson himself was OMO of the most surprised men on tho Slioro. Up to ISflli no true-blue Republican had represented thu district sinca the Thirty-eighth Congress, in which John A. J. Cros- wi-ll (later Grant's Postmaster-General) appeared from the Eastern Shore.

Tho district then included tho northernmost county of the Shore --Cecil-- from which Crcswell came, bat which was suon afterward placed in tho Second district, and tho First confined to tho eight counties below Cecil. Crcswoll was elected in 18(i2 as a Union Republican, defeating John W. Crisfiold, of Somcrsot, who ran as a Democrat, but who was then serving in tho Thirty-seventh Congress as a "Union Republican." Crisfiold had been an old-time Whig, and like many other Whigs who affiliated with tho Democratic party after the war, never claimed to bo in thorough sympathy with it. After Crcswull eamo Hiram MeCnl- lough, of Cecil, in the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Cougressess; Samuel Uambloton, of Talbot, in tho Forty- first and Ephriam King Wilson, the younger, of Worcester, in tho Forty-third; Philip Francis Thomas, of Talbot, in tho Forty-fourth; Daniel Maynadiur Henry, of Dorchester, in tho Forty- llfth and Forty-sixth; George W. Covington, of Worcester, in the Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth; Charles Hopper Gibson, of Talbot, in the Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and Fifty- lirstj Henry Page, of Somerset, son of Crisficld, and now a chief judgo of the First Circuit, leaving Congress for tho bench, and his term being filled out by John B.

Brown, of Queou Amie, in tho Fifty-second; Robert F. li rat tan, of Somerset, who died inof- llce, and was succeeded by Winder Laird Henry, son of Dauiel of Dorset, in thu Fifty-third; Joshua W. Miles, of Somerset, in tho Fifty- fourth; Dr. Isaac A. Barber, of Talbot, in thu Fifty-fifth; John Walter Smith, of Worcester, who served a month and then became Governor of Maryland, iu the Fitty-sixth.

To fill out Smith's term Josiah Leeds Kerr, of Dorset, was elected November Cth, and William II. Jackson, of Wicorni- eo, goes to the Fifty-seventh. Here, in a stretch of 33 years, from ISIJJ to 11)00, but one Republican has been sont to Congress from the Eastern Shore--Dr. Barber--and but fow from the State. Memoir.

Mr. Thomas J. Tucker, for more than thirty-five years a member of the Board of Stewards of tho Union M. E. Church, Queen Anne's county, on the 17th of October, about eight o'clock in (lie evening, passed from earth to heaven.

Ho had been a consistent, consecrated, and devoted Christian for over fifty years; a man in whom the community had the utmost confidence, and a man much beloved by every body. He was especially useful to the Union M. E. Church, of which he was a life-long member, always found at the post of duty, lovingly holding up the hands of his pastor and sweetly preaching Jesus by a consistent walk. His Christian experience was marked by deep humility, humbleness of heart, and an abiding faith iu God, his Father, which increased more and more as tho years wont by, until faith was lost iu sight.

It truly may be said of him as of Enoch of old, "ho walketh with God and was not; for God took him." funeral was preached by the Rev. Floyd E. Blox- tou, his pastor, at his late residence, October 20th, from Revolutions 14-111, "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write; blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith tho spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow thum." Interment took place at the Church Hill cemetery. Mr. Tucker was a kind, loving father, and a good provider.

He has especially set tho community good example of how to get the most out of life. Ho did not pile up riches to tho spiritual detriment of himself and family; neither did he waste that which God had given him. wise, intelligent, liberal, and Christian economy directed him in tho usu of what he had, to the glory of God, his own good, and his family's good. It might be said of him, a plenty, but not cxtr.tvagant; liberal, yet saving. Ho and his family truly enjoyed the things of this world along with the things of heaven.

Having ro uudolUod leligiou, economic ideas.of lifo put into practice, Mr. Tucker could not be otherwise than a good citizen. He.stood for right and represented right. Tho church, his family, and thu community, IIHVO lost a loving, faithful, just, and staunch friend, ono willing mid able to do good to all men. We aro tho poorer but heaven is tho richer.

Mr. Tucker was born in Caroline county, Ducembor 182(i. In tho year ISol ho was married to Miss Annie E. Rolph, of Queen Anne's, county, a woman of sound piety, with beautiful Christian virtues, and in every way a help-mate and a Christian companion. Al the time of his death ho resided on the "Thompson Hill" farm near Rolph's, where ho has lived for tho past forty-seven years.

His wife and six children are left to mourn their great loss, ly: Mr. James Albert Tucker, of Baltimore; Mr. Samuel Rolph Tucker, Mr. Thomas Hicks Tucker, Mrs. Albeit Story, Miss Laura Tucker ami Mr.

Harry Tihlon Tucker, all of Queen Anne's county. The opening day of (lib shooting season was a great disappointment to the sportsmen who expected to bag a bushel of quail. Low scores and no scores wore older of the day. Ex- Sheriff Berry made the greatest preparation for the slaughter, as he was working under a guarantee of fourteen coveys as good as staked out; still an all-day's tramp, without tho sight of a bird, was good-humoredly charged to the weather; or rather, to the south wind, which made the birds keep cover. Mr.

Henry K. Lewis also wont after tho birds that were reserved for him from last season; but they wore not at home, consequently ho returned with game pockets empty. Ex-Justico Hutson was more fortunate, bagging three of the bob whites. 'Squire Stuele got that bird, after a desperate waste of good ammunition. Grant Alburgor also got a single after a day's tramp.

Clerk Hobbs and Mr. Henry Cade brought homo a pair. Messrs. Harry A. Roo and II.

W. Hughes took to field together and brought huiue a trio, all of which Mr. Hughes killed, owing to the fact that ho had Mr. Ron's best gun and Mr. Roo was using a gun ho "never could kill with." Tho rabbit-hunters were more for- tuimto, and some heavy bags wcrn made, tho largest of which was fifteen, by Mr.

Thomas Corkruu. Mr. Clinton Wyatt loaded himself down with a and one of his brothers, who xvas of tho same party, bagged seven. Mr. Edwin Garoy, in Tuckahoe, got a half dozen, and others nearby range from that number down to one.

Tlie Tlmrp Cute. In tho Queen Anne's court on Wednesday afternoon the case of the State vs. John Tlmrp, charged with arson, was taken up. Some trouble was experienced in getting a jury for this case, as thu maximum penalty is death. The case is particularly interesting.

Repairing. While comparatively new, the iron bridge at this place badly needs the attention of the county commissioners. In its prcsont condition it is likely to bo damaged by passing bor.ts, there being no substantial fenders to protect it. Besides, the draw rests poorly in its place and is likely to bo greatly impaired by the ijreat vibration caused by the almost continual traffic. The annoying delay caused by tho narrowness of the draw, which only allows one team at a time, has been often referred to in these columns.

It is hoped that when these repairs are made the important matter of the width of the bridge will not be again overlooked. EWSPAPERf.
