Local Miscellany.-Shad made their

both these DEFICIENCIES.

A Great Show at the Hall tonight, to be

The Eastern Shore papers speak highly of
it. Our old friend John S. Rowbotham,
Cheap john is pushing the enterprise,
which is guarantee that every thing will
be conducted on high-pressure principles.
Car Building.-The Oxford Press says:
We can now announce that the preliminary
arrangements between the Cooperative
Car Company of Wilmington and the
citizens of Oxford have been finally agreed
on, within the last few days, and the Com
pany will locate in our Borough. Arrange,
ments will be made for an immediate start
in the erection of the buildings. Our town
will see more active times within the next
three months than has been witnessed for
some time.
Red Lights and BIue.-Not the Connec-
ticut "blue light of tabled story, or the
red light set on the rocky coast by land
pirates to lure the noble ship to ruin; but
DR.. Bob Frazer's red and blue" deeply,
darby, beautifully blue mot unlike that
siren lady's eyes which lures the tender
SWANS to "sigh like furnace seen
every cloudy and clear night in the west
window of the central drug store. The
heavens in June are net more blue than
that dazzling blue light when the kero-
sene is in full glare behind it. And that
other red light-had Stambro light been
half so bright, the Atlantic, that noble
steamer, would have been warned from her
ruin, and 600 souls might have lived to day
to walk the earth, who sleep below the
wave. Those dazzling lights are beacons
of perpetual warning to be careful of your
health, or you'll have to swallow the vii
famous drugs that lie concealed behind
them.
The Steamer.-Cyrus P. Smith, Captain
Brown, which ran last season between Elk
Landing and Baltimore, is about to re-
sumo her trips on the same course this sea-
son. Many of our citizens desire the boat
to run and have petitioned the owners to
that effect. The owners of the wharf
offer to deduct any expenditures for i'm
provemsnts in clearing the channel which
may be made by the owners of the boat,
from the rent of wharf. 1t is estimated
that $500 expended would clear the channel
SO as to make good landing on low tide.
Mr.. Brown we understood offered to give
800 toward the work but the wharf own
ers refused to contribute in any way than
that above named. There is good pros
pect of a very fair trade this season from
the " Landing if the steamer makes reg
ular trips. The opening of the new Elk
Neck road, it is believed, the eastern end
of which crosses within a stones throw
above the steamboat wharf, will largely
add to the shipping from the Landing"
if the proper facilities are afforded.
