NORTH EAST ITEMS.

Fatal -lrrident.-Charles Hugh, aged
about sixteen years, son of Mr.. EphEaim
L. Lowe, of North East, was accidentally
shot last Saturday, while cunning for wild
ducks, on the shore of the river, near the
town, by the premature discharge of a gun
in the hands of a friend who was in COM
pany with him at the time. Being very
near to the discharged piece, the entire
load entered his left side. in the vicinity of
his heart. He therefore bled to death in u
few moments after being carried into Mr.
Armor's residence, near the scene of the
accident. He was an amiable and popular
young man. His untimely and unnatural
death has plunged the whole neighborhood
into irrcpressible sorrow. lie was a highly
respected member of the /. 0. G. T., and
Mt. Horeb Lodge, of North East, to which
he belonged, turned out iii body, clothed
in rcgalia, at his funeral. The solemn
services were held in the NJ. E. Church, on
Monday afternoon last. The house was
literally crowded by the citizens of the
town, and Pastor Rev, Thos. l.. Poulson,
preached the sermon from Revelation 6-S
assistant Teacker.-The public school at
North East, in charge of Rev. II. G. Sim
pers, has been supplied with another AS
sistant Teacher, in the person of Miss
Belle Galbraith, from the upper part of
this county. Miss Mary d. Way is also an
Assistant i'll the same school, which is
large, and in a tlourishins condition.
IabIeaur and C0nceH.-Thc Mt. Horcb

Hail, i'll said town, on Thursday evening
next, the 81 of December. The exercises
will consist of Tableaux, Instrumental and
Vocal Music, and Reading. Price of adj
mission twenty-five cents. Agood time is
anticipated.
F0ryery.-A citizen of North East, Mr..
Thomas c. McCracken, was involved in
considerable temporary difficulty i'll the
city of Baltimore, a few days since, by the
forgery of his name on a check, to the
amount of twenty-four hundred dollars, by
a strange woman, who was boarding at the
time, with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Millicent
Hylliard, at No 101 N. Paca street. The
gay female is now under arrest, in said
city, awaiting trial, and Mr.. c. is at home
completely recovered from the shock
Whereupon we tender him our congratula-
lions.
4 Father in Israel Gone.-Mr. Joseph
Grant, aged seventy-six years, died at

tense sufferings have always been borne
with great patience and christian forti-
tude. The funeral services were held i'll

On Wednesday 18th inst. Mr. Peregrine
Hendrickson, of Middle Neck, Cecil county,
lost horse from lockjlw, occasi oned by cut
ting the pastern joint with corn knife.
Thanksgiving day in Elkton was kept in
quiet way-service in the churches and a
semi-suspension of business. In point of
weather the day was delightful.
Our friend and former fellow citizen, Sam
uel Purnell, Esq, is at present on bust
ness visit to Elkton from the metropolis of
of the plains, Omaha. He gives glowing
accounts of the business, enterprise and
thrift of the place. Six hundred houses
have been erected in the city the present
year. The climate is the finest conceiva-
BILE. The population represents every
quarter of the globe, but is principally
made up of people from the New England
States. The town is governed by an ex-
cellent Police, and the best of order reigns
At Omaha Mr.. Purnell had his first ex-
perience of negro voting. There was side
by side at the polls found every nationali-
ty, whose citizenship entitled them to vote,
and in the molly crowd might be heard the
"Sweet German accent and rich Irish
brogue," and in the midst was the sable
son of Africa casting his vote, and yet the
sky did not fall, and American, German,
and 1rishman seemed to regard the thing
as a matter of course.
