Does GrOund Bone act OuickIy Enough

Does Ground Bone act Quickly Enough
for Potatoes !-Rsad the FoNoacing:-My
potato field was MANFRED with broad cast
application from the barnyard and 800 lbs.
per acre of WARING's BONE Dust super
added A small patch was left without
any Bone, for experiment. The general
yield per acre was 200 bushels; hut accord
ing to the testimony Of my son. who man
aged the gathering, the part without Bone
made but $50 bushels per acre. This shows
200 bushels of potatoes from one ton of
Bone Dust: or allowing 80 cts. per bushel
for the potatoes, q return of 800 per ton
for the Bone. LLOYD BALpERsToa.

Moving Day.-Monday last was the great
moving day of the year in this section OF
the State. The event caused more hustle
in our streets than is seen at any other
time in atwelve-mon:h. The day was very
favorable for shifting furniture and making
new hGmes, and the streets were conse-
quently filed with furniture wagons from
early morn ill dewy eve.
Among the business changes of tie town
are E. Brown 6 Bro, who deserted the old
brick so long occupied by the Browns, and
moved their goods into the store on the
corner of the Court House yard, formerly
occupied by Lewis. They will doubtless
find tile change a decided Improvement.
DIR. Frazer has moved his .rug store 70
the room occupied by DR.. Tut, which is
being fitted up for the new busin ess; and
Mr.. Cummings will take possession of the
room vacated by the druggist, and sill it
with more life giving element than all
the drugs combined ever possessed-even
bread.
which has remained so long unoccupied,
has had the shelving and fixtures torn out,
and is to be divided by petition, making
front and back room. The Fire Iusur-
ance Company will move up from the eel
lar, where it has so long been immured,
and breathe the fresh air and bask in the
sunlight of the front room. The hack
room, we hear is to be taken possession of
by the Young Mems Christian Association.
.Janney has contracted his tailoring estab-
lish,. ,ent and left the back room on the
north side of the Hall vacant, which has
been rubbed up and occupied by Hezekiah,
the polite barber who has long been one
of the 81 ee,,lar institutions" of Elkton.

CHESAPEAKE CITY ITEMS.

Runauay.-A horse belonging to p.
Steel run away, the other day npsetting the
wagon to which he was attached, breaking
it considerably. Fortunately, no other
damage was done.
Lecturs-Rev. Vaughan Smith. of Mid

temperance lecture, in the NJ. L. Church,

o'clock.
Damaged. are informed that several
vessels were considerably damaged, last
week, on the Chesapeake Bay, during the
continued blow Of four days.
II Race.-On Saturday of last week, the
celebrated walker, Oddly. who has been
stopping in Chesapeake for about two
weeks past, and another blood of the old
country. had a running and walking race.
Oddly beat his opponent, who gave out,
after having run about one and half miles.
We understand the race was for purse of
about twenty-five dollars. Talk about
money being scarce, when sums can be
raised for such purposes.
Broke Doacn.-A wagon loaded with
straw, belonging to the paper mills, in the
upper part of the county, upset. ON Tues
day last, on Bohemia Manor. No damage
was done, excepting to the wagon and con-
tents.
Morning Day.-The day was pleasant,
and those who had to move were thankful
for such good weather. We had but COM
paratively few changes in Chesapeake;
several families moved away, but others
from abroad took their places. Several
farmers have left the neighborhood.
Wheat-We are informed that the wheat
crop in this neighborhood will be COM
plete failure. Some say it will be scarcely
worth harvesting.
Heaih.-Our town and vicinity have been
so far, blessed with good health, but one
case of small pox during the Winter, and
at this time the general health Of the neigh
borhood is good.
Spring at Last.-Thursday was the first
Spring like day we've had. The sun shone

Railroad Ace;aent.-Quite serious acct

Railroad Acc;aent.-Quite serious accl-
dent occurred on the railroad, on Friday
night of last week, by which two young
men narrowly escaped instant death. John
and Harry Boulder had been ora visit to
their grandfather, who resides at Poplar
Hill, some miles north of Elkton, and were
returning to Elkton, John intending to
take the half-past one train for Baltimore,
where he lives.
1t seems the young men fell asleep in the
carriage, and were Weakened by their horse
becoming frightened. They found them
selves on the railroad track, at the plank
road crossing, a few yards below the Elk
ton depot, aud the 1915 A. NJ. Express
almost on them. They had a carriage f..s-
tened behind the buggy in which they We're
riding. In 4 moment the two carriages
were struck by the engine, and the occu-
pants sent whirling on the side Of the
track John was but slightly injured about
the scalp, but his brother Harry was taken
to the FELTON, House, where he remained in
a state of iusensbility until the forenoon
of the next day. Though seriously injured,
the young man is convalescent.
The carriages were instantly cut loose
from the horse, which made its way to
Prices hotel, while the vehicles were car
RED by the engine up the railroad, and
scattered in pieces for about half mile
from the scene of the accident. The cars
being under full Roadway, could not be
stopped till they had run some distance,
when the train was run back, the Young
men taken on board and conveyed to the
depot. Orders were left by the conductor
to have the wounded man removed to the
FELTON, Honse, and taken proper care of at
the expense of the Company. DR.. Mitchell
was summoned, and administered medical
aid to the wounded
