Skating and Breaking.-During the lat
ter part of last week, many of our young
people greatly enjoyed the fine skating,
on the creek west of our town. On Fri
day afternoon, Mr. ChaS. Benjamin broke
through. and sank up to his neck, but
was rescued by companion, removing his
own coat, and extending it to him, thus
assisting him out.
Charcoal.-The inevitable charcoal wag-
on, has become quite an institution, in its
perigrinations through our Main street.
The large amount of this article consumed
by the Mccullough Company Iron Works
is valuable financial consideration to
many of our Elk Neck land owners.

inches thick, taken from the creek.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of
the present week were occupied by our
Public Schools in quiet examinations. 1t
was not generally known until Wednesday,
when the list and I'd divisions had an audi
ence. Mr.. McClintock's division was
examined in the morning. The scholars
acquitted themselves we'll. Rev. Messrs.
Martindale and Martin and J. W. Abra-
hams, Esq, made short congratulatory
speeches. The Misses Kate Morrison and
Fannie Wilson received prizes for good
scholarship and department. The exami-
nation of Miss Stephenson's division, in
the afternoon, was we'll attended, and the
exercises were very pleasant and satisfac-
tory. The same gentlemen made brief
speeches happily appropriate. Prizes for
good behavior and scholarship were pre-
scented to Miss Hester Katz and Miss Sallie
I. Love- Mr.. Martin made the presenta-
ton speech, after which Miss Stephenson
spoke such words of commentator to the
recipients, as must have been particularly
gratifying to them and their friends. The
exercises were inteTspersed with singing by
the divisions. The readings were sspe-
cially fine.
