Disgracefui.-On Sunday night last
about half dozen of our "fast youno
men" concluded to have little frolic. and
accordingly took the $50 tran for Will
mington, and returned in the 100 A. NJ.
train. AS before said, they started out to
have good time,-and, from what we hear,
they had it, in their own glorious way
Some, if not all, of the party, got pretty
drunk, either before or after starting, and
of course were very quiet and peaceble, O.
as drunken men generally are. Arrived at
Wilmington, they met an old friend, a lady,
who was under the watch-care and protec-
ton of gentleman, a railroad employee,
with whom she was coming to Elkton.-
The Elkton boys of course recognized then
lady friend, and wished to be sociable.-
little difficulty at the time. 1t is probable
they concluded to settle the matter al
another time, as the events which followed
proved. The parties all got on board the
train, and between Wilmington and this
place, there were indications of row,
which caused some excitement, but which
quoted down. Arrived at ElktOn, free
fight ensued, in which brakemen and ''fast
young men, engaged, and which, we be
lieve, resulted disastrously to both. Who
came off victorious we know not but sew
eral of the Elkton party were pretty badly
used up. They had their fun, but they
paid dearly for it. TO say the least, the
whole affair is very disgraceful.

COnOwingo Items.

Accidents.-Mrs. Cummings, mother OF
Esquire Cummings, while walking across
the porch at the house of her son, fell and
broke the bones above the ankle. A serious
accident, as the lady will be one hun.
dred years old i'll January. Frank Fulton,

inst, in passing wagon in the road neal
Mr.. Alexander's upset the cart, breaking

cradle bodily injuries. Mrs. John Barrow

by the upseting of a spring wagon which
she had driven to a store.
Riuer.-The river is in rafting order
Several RATS have passed down. 1t has
been quite high for this season of the year.
Quite quantity Of corn and hay have been
a-drift. Considerable damage having been
done by the late freshet.
Public Schools.-I see that some of the
schools complain of the want of books. l
have made inquiries in our District, and
find our Commissioner has supplied the
school in our District well All the pupils
are supplied. Mr.. Watts, at Rowlands-
vile, has So pupils; Mr.. Crothers, at No.
4, 46; Mr.. Warner, at Pilot Town, 81; Mr.
McNamee, at New Valley, about 35. Our
teachers are about to organize 4 Teachers
Institute. We hope the teachers in other
Districts will give their cordial assistance,
as something of the kind is much needed in
the county.
Crops.-Our farmers are busy putting in
wheat. Corn has cared we'll in this sec
ton, and think there will be more than
an average crop. Potatoes are very fine,
and the quantity large.
PolHical-Our ticket is strong. All that
is required is every right-thinking man to
come out and vote, and l will guarantee
everything will come right. The Eighth
will do better this Fall than for years.

Yankee Trick.-Two shrewd Yankees,
not long since, after prospecting over the
county East and West, pitched upon Balti-
more city as desirable place to locate a
business in stoves, and they accordingly
took into their firm Virginian as partner,
and employed two sharp ex Confederate
Captains as agents to canvass in the South,
and make sales of their goods. This bust
ness arrangement required but one more
touch to complete it, which proved a
coup de grace. A first class Cook Stove
was selected, and new patterns for the side
doors made with the coat of arms of the
Old Dominion carved upon them, and. the
stove was christened "The StonewaIl. ~
This Yankee trick took the chivalry by
storm. Three hundred of the stoves were
ordered and sold out in short time and
the demand has kept up, and is on the
increase. Armstrong s. Co., Port Deposit,
cast the Stonewal," which can be seen
any day at their Stove House, together
with an almost endless variety of Cooks,
Gas Burners, Heaters, ETC., ETC., all, we
believe, Of their own manufacture.

more Railr0ad.-The injuries of this rail
road, which have prevented the use of it
for four or five miles near Grays Ferry,
have been so far repaired as to allow all
trains to run regularly. The trouble from
the freshet was made more serious in con.
sequence Of the heavy flood in the Delaware
and the high tides. The embankments
upon the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers,
and also of Darby Greek, which created a
heavy current, washed and undermined the
track. Tuesday night, 9Th inst, and most
Of Wednesday the track was found two to
five feet under water. None Of the bridges
and culverts have been injured in the least,
and the road is now in good running order.
In repairing the track a large force of men
worked day and night. In some places up
to their waists in water. They forced stone
under the track while it was still covered
with water until they got it all solid and
right, and while it was still covered knee
deep the trains passed safely.
