At the special election for Congressman last week Codorus cast 325 votes for Dr. Thorpe, Democrat3 and not a single one for his Republican opponent The charge which the Rev.

He says, in substance that infidelity is honeycombing its foundations, and that it is falling into manifest decay. 1 ,4- A collection of fans was sold last month at Madrid, when one of ivory, which formely belonged to the Princess Adelaide of Savoy, brought $750 A fan, painted by Boucher, sold for $950 ; and anothar, formerly owned by the Duchess of Medina-Cc'li. went for -$450. i. : i The forcers of Nebraska are not in a pleasant state ot mind.

Bishop, whom we first knew as Mrs. Pluto, in the play of the "Seven Sisters," will appear at the Opera House in this city next Monday night as Widow Bedott, in the play of that name. Mr. Bishop seems to have a fondness for taking-female characters, for which he is well suited. As the Widow Bedott. he has ample room for the display ot his especial talent. The New York Sun says : Mr. Bishop is an amusing actor, and has a countenance of vast area. A large proportion of this area disappears as if by magic when he opens his mouth, and there is substituted there for a. hilarious chasm of fearful width and profundity. He is infinitely amus ing, and in his care the 'Widow' has a long lease of life." Personal, j We are glad to learn that the health of Capt. W. M. Parker has considera" bly improved. - A letter was received in this city a few days sinee from Mr. Asa A Brown, who was here for three or four months last year.

I A Sea Do?. On Friday, the 19Lh of December, 1884, the schooner Isaac L. Clark, Capt. Cramer, was wrecked on Hatteras, and on the Sunday following the wreck drtfted ashore at the fishing grounds of Messrs. W. . Davis & Sons, at Stump Sound, the crew having been saved by the men of the Life Saving Station. These fads were published in the Review of Dec. 23d, 1884, ou there is something yet to be told. On Dec. 23d. the day upon which we pub. lis bed the account of the wreck, Mr. J. J. Hicks went on board the wieck and rescued a dog which had been left when the crew forsook the vessel. The animal was of the St. Bernard breed, evidently quite young, a mammoth in size, and when found was nearly tarnished with cold and hunger, but true to his instincts, would not let his resourescome on board until after mnch coaxing. Since then be has been well fed and oared for. He was in onr office to-day and be is a magnifi cent beast, Rather a remarkable coin cidence connected with the affair is in the tact that Mr. Hicks, who rescued the dog, formerly sailed I with Capt, Cramer. j For durable coloring the walls of rooms in beautiful tints, at little cost nothing equals the Mablkike sold at i Jacobi's Depot. A Stranger' Suicide. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, while sme sportsmen were gaming on the opposite side of the river, one of the party. Mr. R. C. Smith, engineer at the Champion Compress, discovered the body ot a dead man lying at the foot of a tree about 300 yards North from the ferr , which the Wilmington Light Infantry have been in the habit of using in their target practice. The body was lying upon its back and on the right side of the throat there was a fearful gash. A small silver-handled knile. covered with blood, and a silver heade 1 cane lav by its side. The alarm was at once given and the news was brought as quickly as i ossible to ibis side of the river. Coronet Jacobs immediately took charge of the body and effects, the latter consisting of a handsome gold watch, about fifty dollars in money, a bank check book and two handker chiefs. There were no letters to indi cate the name of the stranger and no clue save the check book, which was on the South Bend National Bank, ot South Bend, Ind., and contained entries showing deposits in the name of L. B. Whitlaw, amounting to $2 300, against which there were checks amounticg to $800. The bbdy was taken to a house near the ferry and a guard placed over it In tne name of the Coroner, Chief of Police Brock telegraphed last night to tho bank at South Bend a statement ot the facts as far as known. An in-juiry was at once instituted to ascertain all the particulars possible regarding the man, but no information could be found at cither of the hotels but it was ascertained that a man an swering the description of the deceased had stopped at the Scarborough House, on Noith Water Street, at about 7 o'clock on Wednesday morning, and after obtaining a plate of oysters walk ed out. He came back again about dark and wanted a room, but his ac tions and language were so wild and incoherent that he was advised to seek lodgings elsewhere. He left, leaving his overcoat in charge of the clerk, and did not again return. This morning Coroner Jacobs em panelled a jury oi inquest composed as follows: Elijah Lane, foreman; T. II. Betts, Moroe Byrd, George F. Tilley. John D. Steljes and Thomas Pickett, who upon viewing the body and hear ing ail the testimoney rendered a ver d;ct that "tho deceased came to hit death by suicide." During the forenoon the following dispatcheswere received. South Bend, Ind., Jan. 2nd, 1885. To David Jacobs, Coroner. L. B. Wicklaw's relatives, at Mis hawaka. Ind., will instruct you. We have notified them. (Signfed) South Bend National Bank The seeond was from Misbawaka, Ind., and was as follows: MisHAWAKA, Ind., Jan. 2d. 1885. To David Jacobs, Coroner: Send description of L. B.

There is on exhibition, at Messrs. M unds Bros. & DeRossei's, two pieces of statuary, repre enting two mounted knights in armor. They are the work of Masters Donald and Thomas Mc Caskill, aged 14 and 12 years respec tively, who are sons of Mrs. H. A. Mc Casktil, nee Miss Hattie Laspeyre, formerly of this city, but bow a resident of Georgia. One of the knights is represented with the visor closed while the other has his visor drawn. The figures are quite good, end when we remember the youth of t he artists, they are markable productious. The artists manifest undoubted Renins, and with age, experience and the guiding hand of a good instructor wi 11 achieve success The works are to be raffled for, the pro ceeds of which will be devoted to the education of the yonng gentlemen to be artists. The Fourth of March. All of our readers know that Cleve land is to be inaugurated on the 4th of March, but few of them have ever thought to enquire how it comes that the fourth happens to be inauguration day. In very early time?, whenMarch 3rd was supDoned to be the last day to which Congress could extend itself in the year with propriety, it would occasionally be found hard at work as the 3rd pass ed into the 4th. As the 4th ot March is the day for the inauguration of the exec utive department of the government of the United States that date has become the first in this nation. It was fixed upon in 1788 by action of the ContL nental Congress, which, on the 18th of September, adopted the following re solve, preceded by a preamble which set forth in order tho rea sons for the action ot that Congress at that time: "That the first Wednes day in January next be the day tor appointing electors in the several States which before the said day shall have ratified the said constitution ; that the first Wednesday in February next be the day for the electors to assemble in their respective States and vote for a President, and that the first Wednes day in March next be the time, and the present seat of Congress (New York) the place, for commencing the proceedings under the said consti tution." The first Wednesday in March, 1789. fell on the 4th of March, and hence the precedence of that day in ejhistory under the constituion. It was not till tne 30th of April, 1789, however, that Washington became President owing to various circum stance ; but in 1793, when he entered upon his second Presidential term, he was inaugurated on the 4th of March.
