TOWN GOSSIP.
REPORTED FOR THE CECIL WING.

A Dull Day.-Sunday last was the dull,
est day we have seer in Elkton for long
time. From early in the morning till near
noon the snow fell thickly, driven aslant by
north wind. In the forenoon, now and
then solitary pedestrian might have been

street: few other than those on urgent bust.
ness emerged from their homes. At church
time the bells rang, but sounded more as if
they were just going through the routine
than calling people to the house of prayer.
Probably not more than dozen or twenty
persons were present at all the churches
No doubt it was great disappointment to
some OF the fair ones--this Punishment from
the streets, this inability to exhibit small
dry goods establishment. OF course We are
not so uncharitable as to insinuale that this
is their sole motive for going to church. -
Up to eleven, this disappointment may have
been considerably mitigated by the prospect
which doomed up of long rides behind fast
steeds, over glistcnng snow But alas.
about noon the storm changed to rain, and
the snow became slop; and then such
sight as the town presentcd-thc bright,
lovely snow disappearing before the cold,
dashing rain, the deserted streets, the leaf.
less trees-everything without looked desc.
late. And like this snow, often in an hour
are on! brightest an;icipatons swept away,
and the course Of our lives changed. Happy
are they who arcpreparcd to meet and profit
by these changes.

Our august County Commissioner, Mr.,
Weldon. is again on exhibition in TIE Dem
ocrat His communication is dated 18th OF
November. This Last efiusion Of the 'otli.
cial representative Of the first DISTRICT has
met with i'll luck, the editor tells his readers.
The first weak it arrived too late for publ,
cation, and the following week part Of the
letter was mislaid, and the editor Of The
Icmocyat humbly apologies for the delay.
There is no doubt his readers thought the
apology due, not for he delay, but for the
publication.
We give few specimens Tor those who
have not had az opportunity Of reading this
brilliant production Of Que Of The board of
county officers, in Tie Dcmacrots

All this is worthy the ''humhlc indiyid.
AL" Of Grecnvile, surely! a wonderful
affair, IA be sure, that "humble mechanic"
should be clc,,.sted to such dizzy heights By
tho people. Their CO.. s.!tuentS ought to be
more considerate.
Every reader of The Wig will knew how

Mr.. Weldon is evidently child Of destiny.
Against his own wish he tells Us, and .only
to CRAFTY our friends, he consented to be
''snaked on the ticket" We know that it
was against the wishes Of the Union party
that, as he very properly admits, he was
"snaked on the ticket for when his status
was suspected, there was pretty determined
movement by large portion Of the party
who had been cheated in the convention
that nominated Mr.. Weldon, to have his
name dropped, and Union man nominated
in his stead, but the editor Of this paper dis.
couraged the movements, through represen.
Sstion Of men in the first district who should
have knaTn, but we presume did not, that

past year hav" but poor prospect OF re-

come; for, A. yet, the tax is not collected
to pay the claims fled as far bacl; as Sep
tembor OF last year.
We trust onr farmers will bring the matter
before the Legislature this winter and en-.
doayor to have law passed that will afford
their she"p adequate protection.
The county is oycrrum with worthless ours,
and jAst in proportion as they increase do
sheep decrease; and Just US long as the
shcoN-i&isa,s remain satisfied with the pres.
