Burns, residing at Bay View, few days
since, fell, while holding chicken bone in
its mouth, intlcting painful, though not
serious injury in it's throat.
When the fire engines are wanted the
door of the engine house has to be broken
open ON account of no person present
knowing where to find the key. For the
information of all we state that the key is
kept at Mitchell's Drug Store.

Central Railroad, will be held in Oxford
on January Sth.

Cnre for Drunkenness.-A mixture made
equal to an ordinary dram, and as often as
the desire for strong drink returns, will
cure the worst case of drunkenness
Sulphate of Iron, five o. grains.
Peppermint Water, eleven Q1 drains.
Spirits Of Nutmeg, one % dram.
The preparation acts as tonic and slim
ulant, and so partially supplies the place of
the accustomed liquor, and prevents the
absolute physical and moral prostration
upon sudden breaking off from the use
of stimulating drinks.
Fine Lot of BirdS.-W. II. Bennett &
Co., of Elkton, have for some weeks past
been gathering live cartridges, until they
have accumulated nearly twenty pairs.-
They are as fine a lot of birds as one would
wish to see. The object of the Messrs.
Bennett in collecting them, is to try and
increase the supply of this game, by dis
posing of their present stock to neighbor-
ing farmers,-one or two pairs to each-so
that each pair may propagate twenty fold.
This is a good idea, and will no doubt add
largely to the enjoyment and profit of the
many sportsmen of Elkton and vicinity.

The Star Lectures.-The second lecture
of the Star Course was delivered in the
Hall last Tuesday night by Rev. A. A.
Willets. The subject advertised was
" Mental Dyspepsia" but the lecturer
selected "The Model Home - or a plea for
marriage and home life, as more appropri-
ate and instructive and discoursed for an
hour upon the secret of making home
happy, in his best vein.
Although there is nothing especially new
in the lecture, its plain truths are put so
pleasantly and forcibly that they can not
fail to leave a good and lasting impression
upon the mind of the nearer. The lecture
is a capital one for popular audience, and
none, we believe, went home Tuesday
night dissatisfied with the change of sub
iect. We understand that Mr.. Willets will
lecture in Port Deposit, on the Esd inst,
on "Mental Dyspepsia
The third lecture of the Elkton Star
Course will be given sometime this month
by Grace Greenwood. The date and SUBJ
ject will be announced next week and we
take pleasure in assuring our readers that
a rare treat awaits them from this highly
gifted lady.
