Surgical Operation.-Dr. r. III. Miner,
Of this borough, performed quite an i'm
portant surgical operation few days
since, removing wen from the temple of
a patient. We saw the wound after it was
dressed and the work had the appearance
of having been so mechanically done, that
VIC deem it worthy of special note.
-Acctaent.-Wm. Taylor, a colored man
living in town in attempting to step from
one car to another while the freight was
shifting near Bond Bros. & Company's
lumber yard, fell between the cars under
the train, which dragged him some dis
badly crushed and other injuries, suppo-
sed to be of serious nature, infected.
Cleared.-The P. & B. c. r. r. Co. have
cleared their track of ice and trains are
passing through, much to the convenience
of trade and travel.
The Rirer.-The ice is rapidly passing
out, aud it is confidently expected the
Baltimore and Susquehanna Steam Co. will
have their boats running in few days
The merchants have suffered very serious
ly by the condition of the river this winter,
not only in loss of stock on hand, but also
the loss of the winter trade, as every deal
er was afraid to buy for fear of further diff
culties from high water.
Gone .South-Our venerable townsman,
E. D. McClenahan, to look after the large
farm which he has purchased in Virginia.
Mr.. NJ speaks very highly of the farming
prospects in his neighborhood.
Wanted.--A new Waterman in the lower
part of town, or the old one done up, as he
was done down the other day.
Burial-( Wednesday,, witnessed the
burial of an cstimable citizen, whose death
has been universally regretted. Mr.. Nor
ton, the deceased, was for number of
years clerk in the store of Mr.. Joseph
Abrahams. He died on Monday morning of
consumption on the bowels after linger-
ing illness and great suffering. His body
was inferred at West Nottingham ceme-

Rsmocal.-Mr. Phil McCracken has re-
moved his matchmaker shop and news
store to the building formerly occupied by
Mr. Flushman. This brings out more
prominently the goods and wares of our
friend, and we have no doubt the change

Lindsey & Pussy, the "neat job printers,
have also moved their establishment to the
second floor of the same building, and are
busy at supplying the town in their new
position with the spring stock of printing.

Mr.. EDIToR:-" Sanitary" should be
Just and not confine himself to certain
locality in Elkton, as the slaughter shop in
the Hollow is quite as offensive as the one
he refers to, and the san shows no partial
ity, but shines just as much at the loaeer as
upper end Of town, and bad odors are as
prevalent and Of as frequent occurrence one
place as the other, and the occupants of
dwellings in each locality have cause for
complaint; for during the heat of last Sum-
mer at times the stencil was almost unbear-
able, but the number of fever cases he
speaks of can be reduced to two only. And
one of these, said by the attendant physi-
clan to have been caused by too much ex-
posture to heat of the sun in driving, and
not by slaughter shops. There should of
course be large public slaughter house
outside of Elkton, near water, to keep the
smells from the town, but some of our citi-
zens have had fever who did not live near
enough to these shops to inhale their odors
When it becomes more prevalent for heads
of the culinary departments to see that the
bread and other food placed before hus-
bands and children is properly baked and
cooked, and not sour mass of half bak-
ed dough; or one meal a burnt mess of
so called fried steak or chops and the next
half raw, then there will be less fever and
not so much cause for local complaints. Of
course opinions differ, but Composition is
the life of trade" VERY SANITARY.
