Sargent s. Co.'s Combination Show exhi-
bited at the Odd Fellows Hall in this place
on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday even
ings last. The exhibition was very poorly
patronized, and it is almost useless for
itinerant shows to stop at Elkton.
Our people do not seem to have taste for
this sort Of thing any more. Sargent &
Co.'s was a very neat little show. Prof.
Fabian's tricks in magic were we'll perform
Cd, the performance Of Ole Bull Myrss on
the violin was st.class; and the feats Of
the educated Canary Birds were wonderful.
The gifts which are an attractive feature
of this show, were dispensed with tho same
fairness and ibsrality as though the Hall
had been crowded. Tho capital prize
given away to tho holder of the highest
numbered ticket, was a silver watch on the
first two nights, and ton of coal tho last
night. Five blanks and one prize was the
proportion of gifts and this rule was
rigidly adhered to. Cheap jewelry was
discarded, and useful articles were distri-
butsd as prizes. One lady got lawn
dress pattern; q washboard was handed to
\ ticket holder which Mr.. Rowbotham
factiously pronounced kitchen piano; A
broom, fruit-dish and sundry useful
al ticles were distributed among the ticket
hol, 1ers.

ton takes place to fill the responsible Office
of Town Commissioner. It behooves the
citizens to select live, discreet men. While
the subject Of town government is up we
would suggest that the curbstone ordi-
nance has not been carried out. Every
property holder, who had new curbing fur
nished by the town, was required to execute
some kind Of non-descript bond to pave
within certain time. We see great deal
of the curling sticking up high and dry
with no paventments laid. We think those
bonds must be forfeited and ought to be
sued out!

Prospecting for the Railroad.-On Tues
day last, President Jacob Tome, of the
Elkton and Masseys Railroad Company,
and Chief Engineer Wingate, with = party
of other gentlemen, made an examination
Of the points about Elkton, preparatory to
locating the road. On Monday, 2sth inst,
tho Engineer announced that he would
commence the location Of the road, taking
Elkton for starting point.
Uncle Toms Cabin.-Sanford placed
= Uncle Toms Cabin on the Elkton stage,
Wednesday and Thursday nights, with
entire success. The last night the Hall
was filed to OVERLOOKING. Everybody al
most was familiar with the great novel of
Mrs. Stowe, and knew that it ranked first
class As drama. A good play will draw a
good house in Elkton, but catch-penny
exhibitions get small encouragement.

This enterprise will doubtless receive en-
couragsment sufficient to sustain it if the
boat continues to make regular trips. A
great deal Of trade on Elk river will find
this the most convenient medium to reach
market. The completion of Elk Neck
road ought to increase the trade at the
Landing.
Annual Meeting.-The annual meeting
of the stockholders of the Elkton Building
Society and the election of officers to serve
for the ensuing year was held on Saturday
night last. The Auditors Report, which
will be found elsewhere, shows the Society
to be in very prosperous condition.
The following officers were chosen for
the ensuing year: President, DR.. R. c.

Terrible Fall.-A fearful accident, tho

occurred at Newark, Del, on Friday last.
James Bush, son of DR.. L. P. Bush, of
Wilmington, while trying to hide from a
fellow student, climbed to the top of the
College cupola, by means Of the lattice
work outside, there being no other means
Of ascent. Then trying to ascend the Sec
ond time, ono Of the Stats gave way in his
grasp, allowing him to fall backwards,
striking the roof Of the main building
which is about twenty feet below, thence
sliding to the edge, he fell to the ground,
which is about thirty five feet, making in
all fall of fifty-fve feet. Tho injuries
are of very serious character, but it is
thought he will recover.

own Scriptures in questions involving
their philology and history. Jewish his
tory and prophecy are so intimately blend
ed it is difficult to separate them.
If the Jewish Rabbins are the true and
proper Interpreters of their own scriptures
then the whole christian world has blum
dered for over eighteen hundred years
Some of these jewish Rabbins give us some
very interesting stories as part of their
Interpretation of the record. One tells US
that the mark set upon Cain by God to
protect him was circle of the rising sun.
Another, that it was one of the letters of
the Hebrew alphabet. Another, that it
was Absl's dog which was condemned to
fellow him wherever he went. Another,
more wise than the rest, that it was long
horn growing out of his forehead. And
still another tells us that ga sword should
not pierce him; fire should not burn him;
water should not drown him; thunder and
lightning should not strike him." These
are valuable comments and should be care
fully preserved.
But the lecturer says 1 am greatly
"alarmed by the fear that if all species of
men did not descend from Adam they are
not involved in the terrible consequences of
his fall" And he suggests "that it would
be fortunate thing for them if they are
not; as not one in thousand million Of
the wild species living and dead has ever
heard of the plan of escape, or had either
the means or capacity of embracing the
promise of a Saviour"
This is n valuable part of the lecturers
article, as it let's Us into his mind on this
subject, and tells US to what extent he &C
cepts the teachings of the Book he pro-
fesses to prize so highly. If the whole
human race is not involved in the guilt of
Adams fall, then the entire race is not
embraced in the atonement by Christ
