HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have truthtuHy answered before he
starts on his journey, and little care TAX
en- in examination of Routes will in many
cases save much trouble, time and money.
The &C., B. & Q. R. r." running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Burlington,
and the 81, B. & W. Route" running
from indianapolis, through Bloomington
to Burlington, have achieved splendid
reputation in the last two years as the
leading Passenger Routes to the West. At
Burlington they connect with the b, & NJ.
r. r. and from the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through South
ern Iowa to Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections to California and the
Territories; and passengers starting from
Cecil County, on their way westward, can.
not do better than to take the BURLINGTON
ROUTE.
This Line has published a pamphlet call
ed Chow to go West" which contains
much valuable information; large correct
map of the Great West, which can be
obtained free of charge by addressing the
General Passenger Agent 3. & NJ. II. R.

Election.-The excitement has passed
away, bets paid and all hands settled down.
Correction.-In the notice of the supper
at Depot in last weeks item. The credit
was given to Mr.. Carter, when it should
have been to Mrs. Carter. Mr.. G. is good
hand as devourist; but as cook not
worth cent.
FFre.-On Friday evening of last week
quite an excitement was caused in the store
of Rittenhouse & Heston by chandelier,
containing six coal oil lamps, falling to the
floor and two of the lamps breaking. The
coal oil igniting, a flame shot up to the
ceiling, but by the attendants literally ap-
plying blankets and quilts it was controlled
enough to throw the fragments into the
street, there to end the conflagration. The
escape from burning the store out was a
very narrow one.
Epizootic. to be behind hand in
National Affairs, we have had sprnkling
of the Epzoot, through this neighborhood
for some reason our borough being spared
SO far. Some cases have been quite bad,
but all as yet tend to recovery.
Rain.-On Monday evening fine rain
commenced and continued through the
night.

Horse Dtsease.-This disease is spreading
rapidly in this vicinity. All the horses
are more or less affected. The McCul-
Tough Iron Co.'s mules were attacked on
Saturday. David Brown has lost fine
horse, the only death ! have heard of in
the District.
Railroad. -Messrs. Kaveny & Buck are
pushing their new contract with their usu-
al vigor. They are making heavy cut
through the Eddy Rock. This is the hard
est point on the road. The rock is 81 feet
above the water, and the water at the base
115 feet deep. The cut will be 600 feet
long. The former contractor did very little
rock work.
Corn.-This crop is very heavy. Mr..
VIM. Preston housed 900 barrels g bush.

yield.
Election.-The election passed off quiet
ly as usual. The old loafer vocation gone
they never attend elections now; take no
interest in saving the country.

New Rules for GunnerS.

The American Sportsman contains the
following hints, at this sporting season,
i which may be of use to some of our young
hands at the firelock:
| RULE |. Always load your gun when on
the cock, by which you lose TO time in
bringing your piece to your shoulder. a
great advantage; and if you possess CON-
mon caution, you run no risk by blowing
| your head Off while raining down your
charge.
2. When a covey gets up, always fire
bang into the middle of it. It's all non
sense about singing out particular bird
it is easier to miss one bird than to miss a
dozen.
8. When you are very desrions of
game, instead Of shot. fire your ramrod.
BY this plan you may split three brace at
one shot.
4. When you scramble through hedge,
by all means let your gun be at full cock.
Caution should be the characteristic of a
good sportsman; if you shoot your friend
you will be cautious for life.
5. If single bird gets up on your friend's
side, shoot at it 10y all means. The old
system is to fire at those on your own side,
which is losing; for, if your friend brings
down his bird. he bags it; whereas, if you
fire also, you have the benefit of the doubt.
which is settled by tossing up. Never
mind the old gag of it's being unfair-the
ardor of sportsman is good excuse.
G. Never brag of being good shot.
Hold rhis as maxim; it, for example, you
have leave to shoot over gentleman s
grounds and are successful, which you are
pretty sure to lie if you follow these rules,
and are anything of shot, conceal your
game in a convenient spot, then call at the
house and leave n brace of the birds, being
the whole contents of your bag; you will
be condoled with, and have unlimited leave
to shoot.
7. When you enter field halloa and
bawl as loud as You can, and swear at the
dogs. 1t will save yoH much trouble, for
you will see at once whether there are any
birds there.
s. Always train yonr dog to chop his
bird from each covey. With good brace
of dogs, so trained, and double bareled
ed gun, You can bag moro game than any
man in the country.
9. Choose your dog of the highest posi-
BILE courage. By this p!ecauton you can
crafty yourself by thrashing your dog
whenever you miss, without fear of spoil
ing him.
10. The instant the bird rises. blaze away
at him. The reason for this innovation is,
that if you miss, you will have time to
pitch your hat at him, which may be eff
fectual.

Destruction of Sheep by Dogs.-The
Maryland Farmer has the following notice
of the destruction of Mr.. CAROLS improv-
ed flock of sheep by dogs:
sour readers will learn with regret, we
are sure that the fine flock of shropshire
down sheep of Henry Carroll, Esq, of My
Lady's Manor, Nd, which were described
at some lenght in our July No, has fallen
prey to dogs, his fine imported ram and
several of his best ewes having been des
troyed."
Here is destruction of imported sheep
by worthless ours, of more intrinsic value
to the public than all the dogs in the coun-
ty. This valuable branch of stock raising
is well nigh prohibited in this county and
in fact all the State, by the dog nuisance;
and We see no remedy likely to prove eff
fectual without combination of farmers
adjoining lands, take up the matter in
earnest and by mutual agreement. ex-
terminate all the sheep-killiDg breeds of
dogs on their premises and all the dogs
they catch on their premises without an
owner along with them. If people must
and will keep dogs, let 1t be part OF their
sy. tenn to supply pure breed of dogs. of a
kind that won't prowl about and kill sheep.
This is one of the many important ques-
tions that would be profitable for all Far
mers' Assoc 'ations to investigate thorough
". There is nothing else which yields a
greater and surcr profit for the risk and
expense incurred by the farmer than well
selected flock of sheep. The tlocks should
not be large for most of the farms in this
county; but if every farmer had we'll
cared for flock of ten to thirty ewes of the
Cotswold or Southdown breeds, or a cross
by pure buck of one of these breeds with
good healthy common ewes the product
would add many thousands Of dollars to
the wealth of the county, and dogs are all
that prevent such an important addition
to our agricultural wealth.

The Horse Epidemic.-The malady
among the horses has spread over the
county and but few if any farm horses re-

mails seem to suffer in some INSTANCES very
severely, while others have the disease very
lightly. If horse is not perfectly sound,
the CHARGES are against his recovery. A
heavy or thick winded animal is pretty sure
to prove victim. With careful treat
ment, light fed and gentle exercise in pleas
ant weather the disease reaches its worst
point in a few days. Disinfectants and
fumigation of stables, seem to have little
or no effect ir preventing the disease. The
