known, that a money award of this

They afterward consented to with
draw the indirect claims, on the adop-

failed. Some acute statesmen of Eng

such principle, the future interests

NORTH EAST ITEMS.

Great Woods Fre.-Thursday last week,
fire communicated from a coal pit near
]. A. Wilson's in Elk Neck, commenced in
in the woods, continued for day or two,
extending a number of miles north and
east over large part of the Neck, and
burning considerable cord-wood owned by
Mrs. Leiper and others; also, great guam
tity of farm fencing. Several houses we
learn, were with great difficulty saved from
the devouring element. Damage heavy.
Broken shatt.-on Thursday, 25th ult.,
the fly wheel connecting shafts, in the
Mccullough iron works here, was broken;
which will cause but little delay in opera
tions, as, anticipating it, the Company had
ordered another made in advance.
Black Birds.-Rscently numerous and
large flocks of black birds have visited this
vicinity, and the fields of the country
around US.
Corn PlaSting.-The farmers are nearly
ready for planting corn, in this region
Some, we hear, have already commenced.
Oats are beginning to show quite finely on
some fields.
Sale of Lots.-We learn that Mr.. George
Moore, Mr.. Dean and several other gentle
man, have purchased lots on High street,
running west from Main street near the
Railroad station, intending to build dwell
lings on them.

A Denial.-We are requested by Messrs.
Crothers and Whitaker to state that the
report that the small pox exists ON their
fishing shore is soithout the least tounda-
ton.
The vandalism which slaughters our
shade trees should be stopped by the
Town Commissioners. Two beautiful
naples, on Main street, were ruthlessly
destroyed this week. The property on
Main street above what is known as the
"business part" owes thirty per cent. of
its value to the rows of fine shade trees
which line the street; but every now and
then some adjoining property holder takes
It upon himself to cut down tree. Now
if one man has right to destroy the trees
all others owning adjoining property have
the same. 1t is the duty Of the Town
Commissioners to protect the trees and
they should pass an ordinance forbidding
all mutilation of shade trees, under severe
penalty, unless written permit from the
Board is given. Shade trees are a luxury
not to be had in a day or year, and they
ought to be kept trimmed up and guarded
carefully by the town authorities. Every
tree is a source of comfort, health and
beauty to the whole population.
A Remarkable Land Sink In Elk Neck
A strange freak of nature has recently
occurred in Elk Neck, near White Banks,
by the sinking of about two acres of land
on the mountain side. The scene of this
phenomenon is about four hundred yards
from the river bank. An area of the size
| above mentioned, covered with large forest
trees has sunk to the depth of the tree
tops. The sink has left walls almost as
vertical as the sides of a house. Mr.. Alex,
ander Wilson, who examined the ground,
states that no traces of water disturbances
at the bottom are perceptible, and the
strange occurrence is altogether unaccount-
able. It is believed that the phenomenon
occurred about the commencement of fish.
