INJURED BY THE CARs.-lsaac n.
Mills. Agent for the p. W. Il B. Railroad
Co., at Perryville, narrowly escaped being
killed BY the cars, at that place, on Thurs
dav last. The train, before arriving at the
river, is divided in three parts, and let run
down the grade to the boat. Mr.. Mills was
in the act of putting box of freight aboard
the express car, when one of the. section of
the train running down on the adjoining
track struck him, inhcting two very severe
scalp wounds and finally knocking him I'M
der the first car, the axle of which passed
over him, when he seized 1t with both hands
and held on till the train was stopped. He
was dragged some thirty yards under the car
in this manner, his back and shoulders plow-
ing up the ground between the rails, so great
was the pressure on his body. He was taken
out senseless, but revived after n short time,
and was not considered dangerously, though
very severely, injured. DR.. Evans attended
his wounds

ALARM OF FIRE.-On Saturday after

ALARM OF FIRE.-On Saturday after
noon last, an alarm of fire was created by
the roof of house, on the south side OF
Main street, second building below the In.
ternal Revenue office, taking fire from the
chimney Being wooden building and sur.
rounded by combustibe tenemcnts, the dan-
ger of an extensive fire was iminent. and
was only averted by the promplness of Mr..
Andrew Mason, occupying one portion OF
the house that caught fire, who, ascending
20 the attic, with IN ak. forced his way
through the roof and extnguished the kind
ling flames with a few buckets of water.
Meantime the 'tire department was get.
ting the engine out, which had no opportu.
nifty to play on the 'conAagration." The
engine was left standing in the street, how
ever, to be handy, we suppose, in case Of an
other alarm of fire, that it may be got up to
the scene Of excitement before some officious
Mason subdues the dcvouring element with
bucket of water.

FAIR AND FEsrIvAL.-The Fair and

Festival for the benefit Of the Presbyterian
church, held in the court house, commencing
ON Friday evening, 22d inst, closed on Tues
dav evening last, the remnants beng dis
posed of at auction. The Fair was a great
success, a clear profit being realized OF over
S12O0.0O. The attendance on each evening
was quite large but on Christmas night the
Jam amounted to a crush.
"Chances" were taken in number of
large cakes, beautiful vase of wax flowers,
valued at S5l.00; one of Wheeler vii.
sons sewing machines, valued at 500;
a handsome doll. dressed as bride, valued
at S25.00 a beautiful combination musical
work box. valued at SOL 90; and various
other articles of minor importance. The
usual mode of deciding the chances was to
number pieces of pasteboard from to d.,
and placing them in a hat, II person was Sc
lected to draw out three numbers Tor each
person having "chance' in the article be-
ing disposed Of, and the person whose aggrc'
gate three numbers was the highest was the
lucky individual. The highest numbers
drawn were for the sewing machine: 40. II.
and 81, making an aggregate of III. The
drawing proved to be opposite Miss Jean
nette Pearccs name, and that young lady
was declared drawer Of the capital prize. Mr.,
Joseph Wells drew the $50 vase of wax
flowers, and his son j ohm drew large cake.
Master II. Rudolph Mccullough drew large
bride cake and the bridal doll lucky dog,
AS General LAFAYETTE remarked on a certain
occasion. Coming events cast their shad'
.ows bcfnren The musical work k.boy fell to
the lot of Mr.. Hood, from Port Deposit, who
had conducted one of our Elkton bellies to
the Fair. He seems to be favor'c Of For

trcnchcd him round about with music and
beauty There was great variety OF smaller
articles disposed of in the same way, The

business, the tair postmistrcSscs sending out
rlissivcs to all that came within reach OF the
carrier boy Many handsome donations
were made to the Fair, which want OF space
'compels us to NaSs unnoticed.
Now that the church has been so success
