COLORA ITEMS.

Crops.-We have been having heavy
rains, followed by cool winds, which is
rather hard on growing corn, after so much
fine weather, and the cut worms, we fear,
will make sad work with much of it.
Buildings Building is going on quite
briskly about Colora, at present. The Gel
lar of Street Browns new house is COM
pleted, and the frame is nearly ready for
raising. Mr.. Hunter is at work on his new
house, up Railroad Avenue. Aaron j.
Kitchener has leased a piece of land adjoin-
ing the Railroad Depot, from the Company,
and is erecting thereon machine ware
house, where he will be able to keep a
stock ahead to accommodate his increasing
trade. J. S. Gatchell is fencing up
his premises in neat manner, and fixing
up generally. The next thing in order
is shed for horses, at the depot, where
they may stand in comfort in all kinds of
weather but the "wind work :" has not
been done yet.
A Free Temperance Lecture.-A rather
elderly man, named Henry Vermilion,
gave an involuntary free lecture to sundry
knights and others, at the waiting room at
the depot, on Thursday evening, 4th inst.
He came down on the evening train, rather
contrary to his expectations, riding on the
cow-catcher. The engineer, fireman, con-
ductor and others helped him off and into
the station, where he gave all present a
mute but powerful lesson of the effects
of strong drink. 1t appeared from subse-
quent information, that he had been at
Battle Swamp, and had imbibed rather
freely of licensed liquor, and was seen by
persons living near, to turn up the Railroad
at Krauss' Cut, on his way home to the
Rising Sun, short time before the train
came down.
The engineer did not see him when
struck, but had an idea of something hay
ing occurred, like dog jumping out Of the
way, and found the man lying on the plat
form, ahead of the boiler, with his head
against the steam chest, considerably cut
and burned and nearly unconscious.
A messenger was sent for DR.. Roman,
who soon arrived, and found some of his
wounds were mortal. How he escaped is a
miracle, and would seem to indicate that
his life has been prolonged for some good
purpose. He was kept in the station over
night, and taken back to the Sun on the
freight train, in the morning.
No blame can attach to the engineer, as
it would be impossible to see man ahead
in the Cut, on sharp curve.

and ice on Thursday morning last.
New potatoes made their appearance in

In last weeks issue we called the atten-
ton of persons who desire to profit by
raising good horses, to the opportunity pre-
scented, and inducements held out by Chas.
A. Murphy, of the 4th District. In this
issue of Tile Wing the advertisement of his
fine blooded horses Sir Cecil and Arlington
appears; and no farmer in the county who
own good mares and understands his own
interest will fail to avail himself of the
opportunity to improve his stock of horses.
A colored man, residing in this town,
had his fingers badly frost bitten, last Win
ter, while cutting ice. Some wag told him
that if he would get small quantity of
gunpowder and hold his hand over it, and
touch it off, that it would cure his hand
He accordingly procured a quarter of a
pound, and undertook to set fire to q small
portion of it, when the whole Of it exploded,
blowing the flesh off three fingers of his
right hand, and thereby causing painful
wound.

FOURTH DISTRICT ITEMS.

THE Weather.-Very cold mornings and
evenings, so much so that fears are enter
tained for the fruit, so far though it seems
to have stood it very well, if we get one
more rain soon the strawberry crop will be
a success.
Improuement-M John Egnor is putting
up an addition to his house, which will be
quite an improvement as well as conve-
nience.
Bad Boys-During the services at the
Jackson Hall, on Sabbath evening last,
some very bad boys were carrying on out
side, which annoyed the meeting very
much. We hope they will have some little
respect for others, if none for themselves,
in future.
Musical.-The Rock Singing Glass pro-
poses giving their Concert on Wednesday
evening, May, 31st. They have been prac-
ticing for some time, and in all probability

have commenced furnishing milk to the new
cheese factory, lately started by Mr.. Joel
Woodward, near Newark, Del He has

Our PrOspectus.-Rev. Mr.. Poulson takes
possession Of the new parsonage on next
Thursday. How Zion improves! Already
we hear the rumor of a strawberry festival
to be held at Zion, during the very first of
the strawberry season. Mr.. Vanarsdale,
judging from the thriving appearance of
his plants, will be able to supply the "one
thing needful.''
One Of our Neighbors.-Bay View has got
its hotel whitewashed, and has an Itemizer
for the Rising San. The sumnum bonum
of whose letter to that spirited little sheet
was, that the Zion Itemizer had dropped a
shoe in his way, which, on first trial, fit
charmhgly, but, when worn little longer,
pinched so abomnably that he must needs
send cover into Macedonia for sympathy.
Why did he not "beard the lion in his den, -

A HerOine.-From the following account.
taken from the Lancaster Inquirer, it will
be seen that the lady to whom Mr.. VIM
Bonsal, of Rising Sun, was recently mar
ried, was heroine of the late war:
The lady who united her fortunes with
MIR: bonsal is the same who gave the infor-
nation to Gen. Sheridan which led to the
battle OF Winchester, on the / 18th of Sep
TEMPER, 1864, and the total defeat and route
OF Early army. After the war, General
sheridan presented her with valuable gold
"alch, as token of his regard for her
unilinchlng heroism and loyalty.
Soon after this action of Sberjdan's had
brought the valuable service which Miss
Wright rendered to the Union cause prom
inentl y before the country, she obtained a
place in the Treasury Department at Wash
ington, which she has now left to embark
upon the sea of matrmony.
Miss Wright. with her mother kent y
boarding house in Winchester durino the
war, while the town was occupied Inv Union
troops. They were well known and mi
versally esteemed by the officers and SOL
diers of the Federal army, both for their
excellent character and whole souled devo-
ton to the Union cause. They were mem
bers of the Society of Friends, and in Vir-
ginia rebel Quaker was as rare a thing as
a white black-bird.
We join with every true hearted Union
man and woman in the land, in wishing to
this lady, and the companion to whom she
has entrusted her happiness, long, pros
porous and happy voyage to safe and
pleasant destination"

End of a Law Suit.-In the proceedings
of the Circuit Court for Hartford county,
published last week, we find the following
of local interest here:
West & Carroll, cs. DR.. J. Haines
McCullough; case. This was an action
upon a promissory note for $4OO, being the
balance due the plaintiffs, Messrs West &
Carroll, who are contractors and builders.
10y the defendant, DR.. J. Haines McCul-
Tough, for the erection of dwelling house
for the latter, at Darlington, in 1868. Pay
ment of the note was refused by the de-
PENDANT, upon the ground that the work
had not been executed according to con-
tract, and that owing to the unseasoned
character of the lumber used in the build
ing, much shrinkage and damage to the
building had taken place. Upon this the
plaintiffs joined issue with the defendant.
4 large number of witnesses were examined
on both sides-the testimony having been
very conflicting. The case was submitted
to the jury on Wednesday, without argu-
ment, who returned verdict for the plain
tiffs for $3.50. Messrs. Archer and Van
Bibber, Price and Lytle appeared for the
plaintiffs, and II. w. Archer and II. D.

Death of the g White Blackbird." MANY

DCdtu VI tHC w INV DhoS""AAO'
of our readers have seen the remarkable
bird, which was slightly wounded and
captured by James B. Groome, Esq, in
September, 1867, and which has since been
on exhibition at the Drug Store of Arthur
w. Mitchell, Esq, of this town. This
bird, although Enthusiastically of the black
bird, or Startling species, by a remarkable
lusus nature, had, when first captured, a
white feather for every black one usually
seen on birds of its class but had the unmis-
taxable red spot at the joint of each wing,
while the bony substance of the beak and
legs was white instead of black as in other
birds of the Startling species. At each
moulting season since this bird was cap
tured, it has gradually changed its color,
until the feathers that were white, were at
last replaced by others Of a light fawn
color, while the red spots on the wings
became each year larger and more beauti-
full This bird died on Tuesday last, and
Mr.. Groome has sent it to Philadelphia to
be stuffed, intending to have it preserved
in some collection of rare birds, as stand
ing proof that such thing as veritable
"White Blackbird " has existed.
