The contractor says that Killick Shoal light will be ready for occupancy on and Wm. Parker, colored, second assistant of Assateague light has been promoted and appointed keeper of the new light. Elijah R. Wilson, of George? town, Deb ware has been appointed to fill Parker's old place. We are informed, that one if not both of these men are ut? terly incompetent, knowing nothing of lighthouse work and cannot tell even in what direction the wind is blowing.

Such are the men appointed instead of our own citizens, whose life work has been such as to prepare them to lill ef? ficiency the places, which should bcloig to them. It is to be hoped, (hat an ex? amination will be given these that it may be seen to what tolly the ci vil service laws, enforced without re? gard to party obligations or efficiency, lead. Oak Hall.

Large congregations have attended the sendees held here on Sabbath and to the present time also, the meetings held during the week. Mr. James T. Groten and Miss Ger- tic F. Brittingham, both of Aceomac were married at the Oak Hall parson? age on the 10th by Rev.

May the bow of mercy and peace encircle the bereaved ones. Health of this village is very good. Oyster markets are very poor at pres? ent. Enoch Conger. who has been suffering for some days with an attack of facial paralysis, is improving slowly.

The light-house on Killick shoals is nearing completion: Cannot some good Democrat be found willing to serve as light-keeper? The late protracted mpeting held in the new E. Church at Franklin City, hits closed for the present; there were three converts during the progress of the meeting. The re construction of the pier at Franklin City by the Pennsylvania Rail? road Company, making the entire struc? ture nearly new, is a want long seen and recognized by the people who are ac? quainted with its dilapidated condition. Housebreakers Arrested. On the 25th of last December, the storehouse of Wm.

T.Tull, at Wagram, was b'Oken into and forty-five dollars in currency and sixty dollars worth of goods were stolen therefrom. At that time there was no clue to the per? petrators of the crime, but Mr. Tull wisely concluded that by keeping quiet, some old coins which were taken away as part of the plunder of the guilty parties would eventually lead to their detection, and the course pursued by him proved to he correct. Inashort time several of the old coins were brought to him, his brother and Mr. Collins to be spent for goods by one Mar? tha Custis.

Last week, aftera sufficient number of the coins had come into his possession and identified beyond all doubt Mr. Tull secured a wan-ant from Jus? tice A. S. Taylor and had it placed into the hands of Constable George T. Glad? ding, directing him to search the house of Martha Custis.

The search being made, there were found in her house in currency and a part of the stolen goods. She was promptly arrested and confessed that she and one John Crop? per were the guilty parties. At the ex? amination before the justice, she ex honerated Cropper and charged that Caleb Broughton, David Jones and Lewis Downing, all colored, were her Broughton and Jones when first their inno? cence, but afterwards confessed their guilt. The confession brought to light the following facts: that Caleb Brough ton was the captain of the gang, and by a preconcerted arrangement made be? tween him and the other three, if either was caught, John Cropucr who was an old offender "against, the peace and dig? nity of the Commonwealth" in his sec? tion, was to be charged with the crime. Their plans was Martha, Caleb and David were landed in our jail last Saturday by Constable Gladding, to await the action of the grand jury.

Lewis Downing be ing out of the county, has not been ar? rested. Letter From llou. I hut. Croxton. House of Representatives U.

D.C., March 3, '86. Editor sir: I have just read an editorial in your pa? per of the 27th in which you say: "'Advices from Chincoteague indicate that patronage which should fall to members of the Democratic party is likely to be transferred to partisans of a different faith, by mismanagement of our party leaders. To be more explicit, we are informed that a petition for an applicant for the light, the testi? monials of whose fitness for the place is as good as could be secured on the East? ern Shore, has been consigned to the keeping of Commander Evans. The Republicans are at work and will secure the appointment for some mem ncr assistance is se? cured from some one other than our representative in Congress." Now I feel satisfied you would not in? tentionally do injustice to one for whom you crave your support for a seat in Con? gress. I am equally satisfied if you com? prehended the light-house system you would not have penned the editorial, parts of winch I have copied.

Com? mander Evans of Baltimore, and Mr. White of Wilmington, are In? spectors of Lights for the 1st District of Virginia. I have long since filed with Capt. Mayo, through the Secretary of the Treasury, every petition sent me them one for the new light? house at Eillick went specially to Norfolk to see of times called on the Light-House Hoard, and at last on the President? urging that the state of things was ex? tremely distasteful and incomprehensi? ble to the people of the 1st District, that, in one light-house three negroes, all bitter opponents of the administra? tion, were fact, I have done all I can think of, or learn from more experienced members, to right the wrong, as I deem it. In every instance I am told the Rules of the Service re? quire that appointments shall be made in the regular e.

on the recom? mendation of tbe these rules had the force of law and could not be departed from. Other members from other States tell me they have, met the same reception and have given similar the belief that I have not doue my duty to the people of the Dis? trict is unfounded. I have never seen Inspector White and I have met Commander Evans but I have written to him? lie says he is bound by the same rules? that he does not regard, or inquire into, the political status of those, who under the rules are entitled to promotion or appointment. The Light-house Board ftays the nie requires the appointment sf an assistant from a contiguous light? house to a new one- The President feels the force of these rules. These are plain unvarnished facts and I am armed with no weapons to over? come the difficulties which environ the be glad to get them.

The friends of the church aie cordially invited to at? tend on the cccasion. Several ministers of the church from abroad aie expected to be present on the occasion. w. H. Stone, Pastor.

Uuwrltlcn History. a In those oM days there was one belt of the Eastern Shore which stoutly re? sisted every Christian influence. The Methodist revival that followed the re markahlo conversion of Fox hunting Tom Burton, and which spread broad? cast through most sections of the pen? insula, spent its religious fervor in vain against the boundaries of this modern Sodom. Between Garrison's chapel and John? son's the Methodist had no society; between Hollies and Red Bank th? Baptists had no foot-hold, and the Epis? copalians, attempting to divide the in? tervening space between Hangar's and St. George's parishes, by planting a church at Belle Haven, practically failed iu the effort.

And, as might have been expected, a rank growth of scepticism and infideli? ty took root and flourished in many parts of this territory. The church shared so little respect within its bor? ders that ministers of the gospel cross? ing over It wei not infrequently jeered and insulted. The feeling was especial? ly strong against Methodist itinerants. In 1813 the conference sent to the cir? cuit a minister by the name of Herrin. Tho name passed into a popular joke in that region.

In Belle Haven the fe' lows contended that Herrin was -and even drove bets on it. "no word, it was ii section entirely vatcd by Gospel labor, apparently mil lable, and almost destitute of religious influences. But a worthy citizen of those days re? siding in that neighborhood and doubt? less awake to I he needs of the occasion, actually built at his own expense a house for public worship. It was designed as it Union church, to be open to all de? nominations; but for awhile it was sup? plied only by the rectors of the Episco? pal church passing through that section. The itinerants rarely used it, but the Baptists having added some repairs to it subsequently, it somehow passed un? der their control by the right of quiet possession.

During the year I SOS, the Rev. Thomas A. Elliott, an itinerant, who was visiting Ids home in Accomac, made an appointment to preach in this Union church. On his way to the place however, he was informed that the doors would be closed against him, which he actually found to be the case; but a stand being improvised in the shade of some neighboring trees he filled his appointment out of doors. The next effort made to fill up the chasm between Garrison's and John? sons was made the Rev.

Mathow Floyd. Having become the owner of a parcel of land below the village of Had lock, he furnished a site and succeeded in building at that point what was known as Floyd's Chapel. Here occa? sional services were held and a society organized, but upon the subsequent re? moval of Mr. Floyd, the building was suffered to go by default, the society moving down to Franktowu and estab? lishing itself there. Aud, as if to make this benighted region proof against Christianity, there emigrated to it somewhere about 1825, a Capt.

Biglow, an avowed disciple of Tom Payne, who boldly put forth the doctrine that in the matter of moral re- 1 s-ponsibility there was no pieeniinencc between a man and a beast. Prospect? ing through the E. Shore for a business place, he finally located at Downing's wharf. Here he established a ship-yard, castor-bean factory and store, and be- gan a flourishing business, contributing very materially to the thrift and enter- prise of that section. Tho schooner Cleopatra, well known in her day, was built in Biglow's yard, and the writer I recalls another of larger tonnage and 1 heavier draft which having been with difficulty safely gotten to sea over the bar, never ventured to return.

the push and energy of the man, to? gether with the opportunities opened up by his business, infused new life in? to the neighborhood and furnished em? ployment for many of its citizens. His influence and popularity naturally ex? panded, and Biglow's wharf in time be? came notorious as one of the most im? portant and thriving sections of the county. There must be yet niany peo? ple alive on the E. Shore who attended the famous boat launchings from-hie ship-vard, and which drew such mense crowds ot spectators from all parts of the peninsula. But the Captain had in his creed at least the merit of consistency.

He practiced what he preached. II is work? men were speedily taught to disregard the sanctity of a day of rest. In the ship-yard the quiet of the Sabbath was rudely broken with the noise of hammer and s.iw. The smoke from his furnace fires curled up defiantly above- his fac? tory roof. And thus-to the wondering eyes of his little world was presented the novel sight of a restless, hurrying business that knew no respite through the whole seven days of the week.

Meantime the Captain distributed writings of Tom Payne to and flooded the neighborhood publication popular with his class at that day. It is not strange that some of the seed he sowed should have sprung up to bear fruit after him. But God was not willing, perhaps, that such influences should go Doubtless, ir there is a retributive jus? tice that overtakes a man's career in this world, it begins with the habitual breaker of the Sabbath law. One day the end came. Jn the very midst of its prosperity, this thriving business suddenly resolved itself into a heap of ashes.

It was said that a like confla? gration had driven him from a previous home, and that still another followed him to some distant point whither he went from Biglow's wharf. be To the Fruit Growers of Accomac, It is very important for mutual pro? tection, and a moie thorough develop? ment of the business, that we be or? ganized. It is therefore proposed that we meet at Drummondtown on the 29th of March, it being court-day. and or? ganize a Fruit Grower's Any fruit grower that cannot be present ou that day and wishes to join such an organization.can address a note to Judge Gunter, Accomac C.

Fruit Grower. Capture or Maryland Dredgers. During last week Gapt. E. J.

Coibin attempted to arrest a lot of dredgers on "Woman's M.nrsh"rock, just this side of the Maryland line. The arrest was resisted, and ot. Corbin was driven off by overpowering Heat ouce communicated with Chief Foster of the Chesapeake, who. secur? ing his aid and that of Capt. Gaskins as pilots, proceeded to he scene of trou? ble.

The result was the capture on Tuesday afternoon of the dredger Mar? tha E.
