THE TIMES.
PORT TOBACCO, MD,
Thursday, April O, S73.

WWe have heard that on Monday,
President BOWIE, and Vice President and
General Manager DU BARRY, of the B. 6 P.
r. r. Co., passed down the,line and back,
in special train, on business relations to
the road. Amongst other things, we be-
lieve, an examination with reference to
the location of station buildings, &C., at
the crossing beyond Salem, was one. We
hope the result will be, as soon as conve-
nient, suitable accommodations at that
point. As we have before said, this is the
nearest point to our county town, and the
most accessible and convenient one to a
large number of persons from Port Tobac-
CO Valley and beyond, to Zachia Swamp
and the country beyond the Newtown
bridges. IF the managers of the road are
disposed to accommodate, and wish to add
to their business, we have no doubt of the
result of their inspection and consultation.
The increase of business will depend, how
ever, upon rates for travel and freight
The former have been slightly reduced
but until they are further reduced, and un-
til the schedule of freight charges is pro-
perly regulated and understood, in com
parison with the rates of the competing
steamers on the Potomac, they will be re-
garded as prohibitory. We hope, and be-
lieve though, that when the road is fully
completed, this matter will receive due
and proper attention.
In this connection, we will take occasion
to say, that in urging the erection of g
station house beyond Salem, we do not
wish to be understood as disparaging the
locations or advantages of other stations
above or below that point. From the pc
culiar physical conformation of our coun
ty-intersected, as it is, by long streams
forming valleys much below the genera
level of the surface, and thus steep hills
each of these stations is located at points
where the roads naturally converge, ano
they are necessary to the convenience o.
persons dependent upon these roads fol-
travel and transportation. In like manner
this is the most convenient point as a sta
ton for Port Tobacco, and many persons
east and west of it. We ask for ourselves
the facilities they possess; and which, il
ourpositions were reversed, we would urge
equally as strongly for them. With con
venient stations and moderate rates, the
road will both concentrate and develop
trade and travel; and thus, as it shall be
established, viii its stockholders be com
pensated for their outlay, and our county
be improved and restored to prosperity.

German Immigration and CoIored Labor

AS the subject of immigration is excit-
ing some interest in the minds of our peo-
pie, we copy from the correspondence of
the Baltimore Sun, the following, which
will serve to throw some light upon this
important subject:

Phaetonitis Equi.-We have lately had
among US the handsome little gentleman
ofGreen proclivities, from Prince Georges;
more latterly still St. Mary's has commits
serated, and permitted us to look upon the
make up, and get up, of one of her hand
some sons. He came in a shiny buggy,
pulled by shiny pair, and shiny little
niger was sitting by the shiny son him
self. Nor was this all, an outrider, on
horseback, followed at respectful distance
horse and rider both very shiny too.
There was very little harness on the bug
gy team, but big lot of it was on the
owner. The bodies of both-the horses
we mean-were circled by broad belts of
worsted work, flaming red were they. All
this took us back to our classic days We
thought of our boyhood acquaintance,

Mr.. Scott told his readers, last week,
that in visiting Port Tobacco he "came
''from the civilized country of the North"
During the war "Scott's Nine Hundred"
came from the same country" The band
of the regiment played "Old Hundred" to
perfection, and the men preyed equally well
upon sheep, hogs and poultry. Heslin,
also, came from the same enlightened re-
gion; his occupation was that of "borrow-
ing" horses for his distressed friend.

The young Republican editor says that
''Port Tobacco has greater proportion of
good looking ladies and gentlemen than
any other town in the State" This, con-
sidering the editors inclination towards
Terdant-cy, and his decided admiration of
black folks, is . remarkable instance of
his stumbling ON the truth.

The Healthrulness Of Lemons.

When people feel the need Of on acid
II they would let vinegar alone, and
use lemons or apples, they would feel
Just as we'll satisfied and receive no
injury. A suggestion may not come
amiss as to n good plan when lemons
are cheap in the market, A person
should then purchase several dozen at
once, and prepare them for use in the
warm, weak days Of the spring and
summer when acids, especially citric
and malic, or the acid OF lemons, IRE SO
grateful and useful. Press your hand
on the lemon and roll it back and forth
briskly on the table to make it squeeze
more easily then press the juice into u
bowl or tumbler-never into tin ;
strain out all the seeds, us they give u
bad taste. Remove all tho bulb from
the peels, and boil in water-a pint for
n dozen bulbs-to extract the acid. A
few minutes boiling is enough then
strain tho water with the juice OF the
lemons ; put q pound OF white sugar to
pint OF the juice boil ten minutes,
bottle it, and your lemonade is ready.
Put tablespoonful or two Of this
lemon syrup in q glass Of water, and
have n cooling, healthful drink.

Curious VIII Case.

The Troy Times relates the following
concerning well,known citizen Of that
place, who in 1915 married an estimable
lady there
dFor while they lived happily to-
gether, but on account Of family dis
sensions in 1913 they signed an agree
ment that they would live apart, The
fruit Of their union was a daughter, who
remained with the mother. Some time
after the husband, presuming he had
been legally divorced, married again,
and shortly thereafter his wife followed
his example. In time the gentleman's
second wife died, leaving him a son,
and few years ago he again married.
The first and third wives are still iy-
ing, but a few days ago the gentleman
died, leaving the bulk Of his property,
amounting TO s35, 900, to his last wife
and family, consisting Of two children.
Since the death OF the gentleman it has
transpired that, not having been di-
vorced from his first wife, he committed
big0my in marrying again. The first
wife will now bring IN action, through
her counsel, to break the will, which
has not yet been presented for pro.
bate. She claims that when the will
was made her husband was not in his
sound mind, and that undue influence
was exerted over him. She will claim
dover in oil real estate transactions,
and has engaged counsel to prosecute
her claim in behalf Of herself and
daughter, the latter being also married.
All the persons are Of the greatest re.
spectability, and the case is a very hard
one for all concerned"

which he had discovered It's vegetable
ingredients and been cured, while wan

preparation had done for himsslf, and q
few sufferers from dyspepsia, bilious
ness, rheumatism, lung diseases, and
many other prevalent disorders, be-
lieved him, tried the new restorative,
and were moro than satisfied with the
results. In this way the sale Of the Vine
gar Bitters began, and We mention the
fact rs M evidence that in this age Of
intelligence and inquiry, nothing that
is really valuable to mankind can prove

After quoting the account Of dream
which is said to have influenced Hiram
Powers to become sculptor, the
Bridgeport Comm Standard relates
another incident of the kind, where the
question as to the life.profession Of the
dreamer was decided. It says "An
aged member Of the Episcopal Church
who was well acquainted with Rev. DR..
Berhanns, OF Newtown, said that when
youth, and before he had ever seen
my minister of that denomination at
tired in his clerical robes, he dreamed
OF seeing some one standing by his
bedside dressed in n peculiar manner.
The dream left astrong impression upon
his mind. Some time Riterward he at
tended nh Episcopal church, and 10 his
great though agreeable surprise he saw
that the minister was dressed in robes
precisely the same as those he had seen
in his dream. These circumstances dc.
termined hisfuture course. He became
commitment and ultimately min.
lister In TINT church. In his old age he
resided in Newton, and there are doubt
less many in that town, II not through.

To Europe by Balloon.

The New York Daily Graphic gives
IN account OF an agreement made or
the 9th of June, between 1.-THE Graphic
Company and Professor Wise and w.
II. Donaldson, the nronauts, by which
the company is to build and furnish Q
balloon not less than one hundred and
thirty feet high and one hundred feet
in diameter, tho construction to be has.
toned MS much as possible, and to be
finished, il practicable, by the Doth Of
August. In this balloon Messrs. Wise
md Donaldson will, "on a day and
from starting-point to be selected by
THE Graphic Company, make public
