A CURIOUS CHARACTER.-Therei is a man about
35 years old, now living within so miles of Con-
way, N. H., who was born an invalid, and could
neither walk or talk until nearly 10 years of
age, and appeared idiotc. When some ten
years of age, he began to walk on his toes,
which he has ever since done. Losing his bal
ance one day he fell, striking his head on the
floor and cried out, Bump? This was the first
and only word he was known to speak until
nearly IL years of age, when he fell a second
time, repeated the first word, after which he
talked freely. The most remarkable part of
his history is, that as soon as he began to talk,
he could read nearly as well as other children
of his age When about eighteen years old his
father fitted up small room for him, putting
in $24 worth of notions. He is now in c,mpa-
ny with brother in trade, having goods esti
mated at at least $1,000, and is doing nearly all
the work in the store.

GREELEY NOMINATIONS .-The Democratic Con-
sentative Greeley party in Baltimore city met in
convention at Front street theatre on Tuesday of
this week and made their nominations for the
offices of the clerks of the respective courts of the
city and the Register of Wills.
Each of the present incumbents Of these offices
was re-nominated except Mr.. Andrew J. George,
Clerk of the City Court. For this position Mr..
Nathaniel Robinson was nominated on the fourth
ballot.
For Register of Wills, Justice Geo. McCaffray
was the opponen; of the present incumbent, Mr..
Harmon Brown. When the ballot was taken it
was discovered that Mr.. McCaffray mad MAORI
ty OF the votes, when the chairman of the conven-
ton left his seat without announcing the vote and
urged members of the convention TO change their
votes. Then stampede was made to Mr.. Brown
who was declared the nominee of the convention
1t looks as if the city has made up its mind
that The present incumbens are good enough for
them. We suppose some OF our county Demo-
Gratis think likewise.

FRUIT PRosPEoT.-The prospect for fruit of
all kind is, we are informed, very slim, The
peach crop will be extremely limited. 1t was
long ago foreseen that as far as concerns this
county the quantity will be much less than
usual, many orchards being entirely bare but
the past few weeks have seemed to bring ruin
to those that before seemed fourishing, and
trees that few weeks ago gave promise of
full yield have not now single peach on them.
They have seemed to wither and fall as if
blighted, and in many instances the trees them
selves look shrivelled as if by frost In fact,
the peach crop of Cecil may be set down at
cipher.
Other kinds of fruit also have in great meas
ure failed. Apples and pears do not promise
much. Cherries will be scarce, and even straw
berries are far below the average yield.-CecH
County Democrat.

sas city Times from Wichita, Kansas, describes
that place as thriving wonderfully in materia
''~~-| -; -..efe1 = z a = s -
mentioning several bloody atfrayS
OF recent date, he says:
Red hot times may be expected here this
summer, as the town is full of some of tbs
worst scalawags that ever went unhanged.--
Gambling houses and other places of disre
putable character are not only tolerated, but Ii
censed. Five public gambling houses are in
full blast. The most extensive house of this
kind opened last Saturday night. They have
secured large hall 100 by rs feet, on the prin-
cipal business corner in town, which is open
day and night, fine band is in constant atten-
dance, discoursing sweet music, led by Prof
John Hasset, of Kansas city. The hall is bril-
liantly illuminated, we'll carpeted, and is night
ly thronged with victims, led on by the delu-
sive hope that they will realize their money
where they have foolishly lost it. Here you
will find keno, two faro games, three monte-ta-
bles, twenty one, roulette, chuchaluck, and the
mustang game. Just north of this, up another
flight of stairs, you will find another large hall
devoted exclusively to keno, and in a side room
you will find another roulette-table. An ele-
CANT lunch is spread nightly by the proprie-
tors, and is hugely enjoyed by the "lunch fiends"
whose subsistence depends largely upon this
table. Then there is the Gold Room, the Leo
Club-room, kept by Mr.. Sage, and other nu-
merous places, where man who has penchant
for games of chance can lose his money. Be-
sides the numerous places of sin, whose inmates
publicly advertise themselves upon the streets,
and nightly at the theatre, to say naught OF the
dance houses that are allowed to flourish in
West Wichita, which are inhabited by the viii
est and most God-forsaken women that it is
possible for the mind to conceive, and which
are nightly thronged by low and vicious class
of men.
The city government boasts that this is no
"puritan town." and that Everything goes" in
circular addressed to the cattle men. 1t
needs but glance to convince the most skep-
teal that this is the case. That the widest
latitude and utmost liberality and freedom is
given, and any slight break of public morals is
all right, but utter the earnest wish of every
true man and woman in Wichita, that if it was
more puritan" and that everything" did not
go was the motto, it would be better for the town.

FACTS FOR THE PEoPLE.-A sewing machine

$50 for it. The same machines are exported

across the Atlantic. In The Belfast NelCs, of
Dec. 4, 1872, an advertisement appears offer
ing the "singer" sewing machine for 46 los,
about $3.50 of our currency. We pay the diff
ference of nearly $50, under our patent laws,
for being the most patient and gullible fools
that ever pretended to capacity of self-gov-
eminent.
Mccormick gave evidence in lawsuit, re-
Gently, that his reapers cost $50 to manufacture.
We pay nearly 5000 for them.

The Cn1ll1ninlh in the Gin.

The campaign for the fall is already beginning
to assume shape in Baltimore city. Some of the
active, energetic Republicans are putting the
forces in line and setting the work in motion.
Most prominent among these is James Booth
McCurley, who has been solicited by the young
Republicans of the Third Senatorial District of
the city to allow his name to be used for the can
didacy for State Senator. Mr.. McCurley has a
large number of active, influential friends in his
district and they are dealing telling blows for
his nomination and election. Things look very
encouraging in that quarter and those who are
best acquainted with that district are very con-
fdent of redeeming it from Democratic Conser-
-Greeleyism.
Mr.. McCurley is very energetic and untiring
in bis work for the Republican cause. He is al
ways active and on the lookout for whatever
may be turned to an account for the party. Last
fall he rendered valuable service to the party in
various paris of Pennsylvania and Maryland,
making several speeches in Baltimore county.
He is gentleman of affable manners, coed ad-
dress and has a wonderful facility in winning
friends He has well earned the senatorial hon
ors his friends are anxious to bestow upon him.
By profession be is lawyer and has natural
adaptation TO politics. As a worker We know
of no young man in the State who is more de-
voted, Jealous and useful to the promotion of
Republicanism. We require more such and those
we have should be encouraged and rewarded for
their services. If work, energy and a determi-
nation to succeed will carry that district, Mr..
McCurley will redeem it to the Republicans.
