An ironclad leuse was drawn up, but at the end of the year the tenant unable to settle the account. An attempt to secure himself developed to the doctor fact that all the goods of his tenant were covered by a chattel mortgage held by some one else, and the doctor WHS left. This year he again leased his farm, and here is ft copy of perhaps the most unique lease on record.

A colored man, named John Sorden, was involved in a quarrel with Seth Paswarters and Will Adams, both white, which began at a sale in the neighborhood. The colored man, having been brought to bay in the house of Jnines Bridges, opened fire with a pistol, mid Paswarters and Adams wore both struck in the shoulders with his bullets. During the melee bricks and stones flew around lively, and colored woman was Indly hurt by one of them. Finally Sorden surrendered, and was about to be summarily dealt with, when by the payment of twenty dollars to his antagonists, he was allowed to go free. The Delaware authorities made no arrests.

Ho works only when he feels like It, though ho is still in robust health. He makes his Ihome in Tuckahoe, and a more inoffensive and kindlier old colored man is not to be found anywhere. The old man seldom comes to town now-a-days, since tho local option Inw hns done awdy with tho places of his former resort. His was a proneness for drink. While in town the other evening Nathan was found by the writer in a talkative mood.

Ho dwelt upon the fond memory of his freqtient visits hore, and the way he used lo pour thu "red liquor" down his throat, was, accord- lug to his own statement, astonishing. It was in Denton, where Nathan once lived, that he llrst discovered himself to be fire-proof. In his youth he was servant in the IIUIIRU of Lawyer Purnell. Being in the kitchen a good deal his inclination was to take some of all the choicest dishes, when the housekeeper's eye was turned, aud ono day he dipped his hand into a boiling pot to catch dumpling. Hu got the morsel and relished it so well that he grabbed for another, aud found that his hand was not hurt in the least.

This pilfering process went on for some time, with no injury to the hand. The first public exhibition that Nathan made of-himself took place in the bnr-room of the local hotel, where lie took live coals from the stove and held them in his bauds. Then followed on different occix sions other more trying feats ofeu- dunmce, such as whetting a red-hot The Baltimore and Eastern Shore R. II. Fusion Star.

Hundreds of darkies were present and great thoir consternation when they i nessed the perfonumice. On all occasions Nalhmi turned liis supernatural pou-ers to profitable account. He would "eat tliv" at any time, but never without hearing the jingle of money. Stuinp oncu gave Nathan Sli.oO for whetting a red hot poker on his band. The Penirisulrtr towns of Centrevillo, Church Hill, Hillsborough, Euston and other towns within easy wnlking distance, were often regaled with his performances.

About this time Nathan made nil engagement with tho manager of tho Front Street Theatre in Baltimore, which greatly widened his reputation. He played "the devil 1 there for three weeks to crowded houses, being the sensation of the day. Then followed an engagement of eight nignts at Douglass Institute. At both places Lie would go through the role of Ihe evil one with so much reality that many in the Monumental City were turned from the wnys of the wicked and brought to repentance.

An Unpleasantness that Arisen Once Ycnr on ClmsapeaUe Ray. The oyster war on the Chesapeake is assuming that bellicose aud threat oning situation which annually characterize it at this season. It is the height of the oyster season so fur as the Inking up of tha luxurious nrticle of diet is concerned, and the season when those engaged in the trade make their most profitable hauls. It for this reason that the dredgers ure most desperate and reckless in what they call npserting their rights. The war is carried on by the State oyster police force, the tongsman, and the German Society on the one side, and the dredgers on the other.

The Slate force Is Influenced by duty to to enforce the law, the totigsiutn's motives aro selfish, and the German Society's philanthropic. The dredgers are nerved by the feeling that their livelihood depends upon their occupation, nnd the belief that they, of all people in the world, havo the best right to take oysters on the forbidden grounds which are near their own homes. This year the theatre of tho war is in the neighborhood of Swan's Point and the contest is becoming exciting. The war began on Monday night last, and since then there have been three battle-i. The preliminary skirmish took place on Monday, when tho dredgers endenvoreil.to drive the oyster steamerGov.

Hamilton, in command of Ctipt' Turner, deputy commander of the force from the grounds. On Wednesday night the three State police steamers, Commander Plowman in charge, met tho dredgers and succeeded in capturing ono ofthe bouts.

Gulviii, Now. then, when all others have been iiappified, come along yourselves fora rest. A day or two in the city will put life in you. A little change from the everyday work is a beUer tonic than quinine. When you come to the city accent freely whatever of comfort and convenience our store affords.

Five minutes after you reach Broad Street Station you are at our door. It is not necessary to buy something to be welcome. Jt is a good time to come to the store. All the anxiety of weeks of preparation and the strain of the doubly busiest days of the year are off and over. Everybody has had a sleep and a holiday, and we are all cheerier and readier to begin anew.

It is like the rest at midday under the'trees in harvest time we are refreshed, and at It again with a will. There's a plenty to see. The store is like a river at the foot of a mountain dowin whose sides a score of stead streams are pouring. While v.he outlet is into the ocean of people, the daily inletting keeps: everything full and fresh. To be sure, after and hurrying ol the week before Christmas, there's a lot of things dusty and clipped and soiled.

There are also things that were broken in the deliveries and returned iby customers. But then thesse are put by themselves and sold at seldom more than half price. Whatever the sacrifice, we cannot keep anything but perfect goods for sale. Whoever buys oi us shall depend on three things--three P's worth remembering: a Perfect goods Proper values Privilege of return The surge and sweep of the Christmas throngs cannot but do dust-damage and make breakages somewhere. To give an idea of it goes, take the night before we write, when the crowd was not so large as any one of the two or three nights before.

Out of curiosity we counted the people that passed a single point in five minutes near the centre entrance on Chestnut street, and there was a. full thousand of them, good humored and happy. To verify the count we repeated the experiment, and proved the diousand over again. A thousand in five minutes! and six other large entrances through which the people were coming! Would they come if there was nothing at least worth seeing? If a few goods are hurt in the crowd, will not grumble. They are for sale soon as i a is over for what they'll fetch, and the prices we put on them bring the custom- Drulon Dor.

Stir I have moved and am now ready for business in my shop, which I purchased some time ago, known as tho "Broom Factory," opposite the Brick- Hotel stables. I havo remodeled it and now have one of the best carriage shops in the county, and am prepared to do better work th-m in the past. I have good slock of material on bund and am ready to do your carriage work; call nud sec me. I am building new Carriages, Daytona, and No-Top Buggies, or any tiling you may want in the shape of a carriage. I intend to make the go if it can be made to go in Denton hit or miss, ruin or shine; it must go- I have also in connection with my carnage factory, a first class Blacksmith Shop, where I have horse- shoeing and all kinds of hlncksmith- ing done.

Give me a cull and get the worth of your money. A good job guaranteed. A. D. SMITH, Denton, Carriages Manufacturer.

Nicholas i 72 years. I'll I i.AHEl.rilU, Monday, DLT. Uli. There's a Christmas chiv and a Christmas week, and in keeping up the swing and shine of Christmas throughout the store until Year's Eve we have in mind the thousands whose work and inclinations hold them fast and keep them away from the city until after Christmas day. Greetings to you a friends! The high compliments of the season to the busy lu i i i i The StutB steamers obliged to thinkers and toilers upon whom good ers quickly soon as the news gets around.

They are principally Books and Fancy Goods and Handkerchiefs, and the goods used in the windows and other displays. There are remnants of Dress Goods, too. The accumulation is something enormous. You see there's no time in the rush to watch against remnant making. Every piece is cut, and the balance is stuffed away.

Now comes the over-hauling. Out with the remnants. Sell them. The lot is immense, and off they must go. The week between Christmas day and New Year is die harvest time for remnant buyers.

While the "righting in certain holiday departments goes on with all possible zeal, the larger part of die store is in its usual well prepared condition, offering a full stock of well-tried, accepted makes of merchandise. It is worth knowing that the fundamental principles of the store are never lost sight of. We will sprinkle the best bargains that can be had over all the business, but without fail we shall maintain at all times with all vigilance the most per- lect stock of whatever the best manufacturers of the world produce. The Star Course of Merchandise is the uninterrupted performance from one year's end to another in this American Academy of Trade. JOHN WANAMAKER.
