Fatal Accident-A little son of Mr.. w.
J. Evans, residing near Rising Sun, in this
county, met with an accident last Sunday
which resulted in almost immediate death.
The little fellow had a nest Of birds which
he kept in Il box ON one of the shade trees
in the yard, and which had been blown
down by a recent storm. He had placed
the box containing the young birds Oh the
fence under the tree, which did not, how
ever, satisfy the birds and one of them
left its nest and got on the limb, about Is
feet from the ground. The boy, in order
to recover the bird, climbed the tree by the
aid of board, and attempted to follow his
pet out on limb where it had retreated.-
In doing so, he slipped and fell to the
ground, falling with his breast Oh some
dead limbs which had been pruned from
the tree. The fall was SO severe that his
collar bones were crushed in. He got up,
blood, but soon sank down and died i'll a
few minutes. His parents were at church,
and only the boy, a little sister, about four
or five years old, and hired woman at
the accident. A messenger was sent for
his parents as soon as possible, but when
they reached home they found the child
lifeless corpse. The accident is one of
the saddest that could have happened
The little fellow was only about nine years
old, and a very bright and interesting
child.

The CrOps.-Farmers in this neighbor-
hood report serious damage to the wheat
by the continued wet weather. Some fields
adjacent to Elkton are said to be entirely
destroyed. Where the ground is low the
corn is drowned out. In the upper por-
tons of the county, where the land is billy
and the soil sandy loam, the wheat fields
are looking very well. Corn has been kept
back by the constant wet, while the weeds
have made rapid Roadway, the farmers
being prevented from checking their growth
by the harrow. The grass crop is generally
very good, and if the weather is favorable,
clover will he harvested next week. The
strawberry crop was quite large, and had
dry weather favored the picking, would
have proved remnnerative, but large por-
ton of it was lost on account of the con-
slant rains during the ripening season.
Cherries are said to be rotting on the trees
before reaching maturity.

Sunday ScAool.-At special meeting of
the officers and teachers of the Methodist
Episcopal Sabbath-school in this place,

intendent, in the place OF John A. White,
resigned.
Public School.-Messrs. JOS G. johnson,
George Moore and J. G. Chandler, have
been appointed School Commissioners for
North East public school. We understand
the last-named gentleman has not accepted
the position, so that there still is vacancy.
prorements.-Messrs. Lum and Now
land have raised the frame of their new
double house, on Church street. The cid
chimneys, which have SO long been an eye
sore, on the corner of Main street and Elk
ton road, are being torn down; and the
bricks, we understand, are to be used in
building the kilns at Ford & Vests brick
yard. Charles w. Shippers has had an adj
dition built to his large livery stables
George Simcoe has had lightning rod put
on his new house. We are at last to have,
1t seems, a bridge over the creek, on the
Charlestown road. Badly needed. A neat
little millinery store has been built on Main
street, adjoining the residence of Caleb
Veasey, and is occupied by Mrs. Burns.

of this Parish, is making arrangements to
have a weekly lecture, on some religious

ordinary skill and accomplishment, has 10
Gated in our midst, for the purpose of prac-
ticng medicine, in the place of the late
DR.. J. J. Buckley, deceased.
Sharp Operation.-A young man, by the
name of James Burgess, while driving in
an open buggy, in Elk Neck, last Tuesday,
saw swarm of bees hanging from limb
on chestnut tree. Getting out of his
carriage, he captured the swarm, put it
under the seat, covered the bees with his
coat and drove home to North East, over
rough road, distance Of about nine
miles, when, upon examination, finding
them all right and quiet, he transferred the
honey makers to key, and carefully placed
it in his yard, in which he expects to have
hive Of honey for use next winter. We
hope he may not be disappointed
Tacation.-Prof. Vaughan closes the

misapprehension in reference to the ap-
pointing power, under the new School law,
of school teachers. The School District

Contract for Building New Jail-The
County Commissioners opened the bids for
the contract for building a new Jail and
Sheriff's house, on Tuesday last, and the
award was made to Mr.. John G. Comfort,
of Cumberland county, Pa, who proposes
to erect the building, according to plans
and specifications, for So, 800, pay $500
for the old Jail, and take $4,000 of the
county bonds at par, in part payment, and
the balance in cash. There were seventeen
proposals to erect the building, filed, some
of them being as high as $4,000.
In addition to awarding the above,
contracts were awarded for building two
iron bridges, over North East Creek, to
Mr.. L. W. Finley, agent for the American
Iron Bridge Co. One of IS feet span, for
1925 the other, of 45 feet span, for $1357
The bridges are to be built on the Morsely
wrought iron plan. Their bids were con-
siderably below the bids for building wooden
bridges.
Mr.. w. F. ]. Henry was appointed Con-
stable for the Sd District, and the bond of
Samuel Grant, present Constable, approved.
A Learned Pig.-A man with a Learned
Pig" large dog, a family of sociable
monkeys, some curious birds, a hand organ
and other curiosities, visited town last
Wednesday and pitched his tent on vacant
lot. The educated pig had the reputation
of being an expert with cards, and some of
our fashionable young men soon bantered
his pigship for a game of euchre. Among
the rest, our neighbor of The Democrat
" buckled piggy for a hand at old sledge,
and with sorrow for the credit Of the craft
we are forced, rs a true historian, to chron
icle the fact that Tile Democrat was beaten
by the pig.
The ''Prof." who is running the wonder
full show, got into trouble on Thursday
afternoon last, for having no exhibition
license to show when the officer called upon
him. The Snowman not being able to shoac
was taken before Justice Howard and
fined 500 Being unable to pay there was
a fair prospect for time of having the
learned pig and its associates comfiscated.
An appeal was, however, taken from the
Magistrates decision, to the September
term of the Court; Mr.. Enoch Ferguson,
security. So the ''Chaste, Moral and Intel
lectual Exhibition" was continued, enliv-
ened by the strains of the hand organ,
which plays Dixie with variations.

More Burslary.-The law Office of j. T.
Mccullough, Esq, was entered on Thurs
day night last, by some one intent ell plum
der; the cases overhauled, and books and
papers scattered about; but finding moth
ing that was convertible into money, or
easily carried off, the door which opens to
the stairway was next tried. Mr.. w. II.
Ricketts, has a sleeping room in the second
story of the building, and when he re-
tired be had bolted the door. He heard the
burglar lift the latch Of the staircase door,
and called to know who was there. No
answer was returned to second summons
when Mr.. Ricketts, sprang out of bed, and
the night prewler retreated by the street
door, which had been left unlocked.
Our people should keep their shooting
irons in order and houses we'll fastened at
night, for those professional thieves appear
to infest every locality, and are always ON
the alert for plumber.

Rec0vered.-The gold watch, stolen from
Mr.. J. E. Alexander, last week, has been
recovered. The parties stealing it, took it
to a jewellers, in Newark, and offered it
for sale, but he would not buy, fearing it
was stolen goods. Another party, shoe
maker, not quite so conscientious, was pres
ent at the time, and, notwithstanding the
suspicious circumstances, purchased the
watch for $3.50.
Tidings of this transaction reached Mr..
Alexander this week, and he forthwith pro
ceeded to Newark, and had the shoemaker
arrested. When brought before the Magis-
trate, he admitted that he had bought the
watch, but said he had sold it to a stranger.
This the Magistrate doubted, and informed
the gentleman he either had to produce
the property instantly, or be responsible
for its full value. Upon this intelligence,
short leave of absence was requested, and
in few minutes he was back with the sto-
len goods, haping found tie stranger in that
limited time! He then received the amount
expended in the purchase, and skulked
away. We are sorry we did not get the
name Of this son of Crispin.
