without its engineer. At Newark the en-
CINE was started by the fireman, he suppos-
ing the engineer to be in the riding cal
and the train was run to Elkton before
discovering that the chief man was left
behind. By the time the cars were shifted
at Elkton and ready to proceed the missing
engine driver made his appearance on foot,
his body in foam and his soul in fury
a walk of six miles beneath the sun of that
day on a railroad track being an active
promoter of both those results.
Dancing School.-Mr. Gawronski has
opened dancing academy at the Odd Eel
lows Hall, in this town, and will, we hope,
meet with the success his ability as first
class teacher of the Terpsicorian art de-
serves. Mr.. Gawronski is Polish exile;
one of the immortal band of patriots who
SO heroically maintained the unequal con-
test for Polish independence and national
ity against the unholy allegiance of Rus
STA, Austria and Prussia, defying and hold
ing at bay their combined armies till their
resources of ammunition and military
stores were entirely exhausted; and only
yielding to the weight of overwhelming
and choosing exile, rather than
when all but life and honor
was lost. Mr.. Gawronski has been in this
country about 50 years, and as teacher of
dancing comes to our town recommended
by many of the most prominent and intiu-
entail families on the eastern shore where
he has spent much of his time in teaching.
The terms are, for single scholar Sc for
12 lessons; for or more, S. each.
Bees.-A colony Of honey bees, which
settled between the plastering and weather
boarding of the dwelling occupied by Mrs.
Young, some three years ago, was invad-
ed on Wednesday last, by Mr.. II. NJ. Mic
OILS, and broken up. The bees were in
comfortable quarters on the east side of the
back building directly over the panty, and
had become a source of great annoyance
to the occupants of the house, by invading
the pantry and driving out the human in.
truders who laid claim to what pleased the
taste of the bees. Mr.. Nicols armed with
a wire bee cap and a pair of buckskin
gloves which protected his face and hands
from their stings, mounted the pantry roof
and with large chisel and knife removed
the weather boarding and cut away the
combs, which were full Of young bees
Several pounds of honey in nice white
comb were found in the upper part Of their
retreat. The bees refused to 60 into a
hive prepared for them or stay in after be-
ing placed there, till the hive was placed
on the roof above whore they had collected
in a swain, when they ran in Immediately,
and were conveyed to another lacation.
Big Days Saving with One tang
Mr.. EDIToR:-Though You live at dis
lance from the scene of lumber operation,
and may not feel the same interest in them
as we do, yet there are some in your neigh,
borhood and readers of your valuable sheet
that would consider it an item of interest
to know where and what mills have the
capacity for cutting the most lumber.
On stream named Beech creek, in Gin.
ton county, Pa, stands a large structure in
suC oAoPO VI d SlCtui -hihi, oUhCu
Saylor, Day & Morey, of Philadelphia
and at present under the direct charge O.
Hess, Knecht & Miller, the latter being
foreman. This mill has on it three large
gangs, one of which we term the "cham
pion gang" as it did Oh the 2sth of Apri
l.ast, cut in III hours, including 40 min
utns for stoppages, the enormous amoun
of 1!3,6O1 feet of pine lumber. The da.
above named was set apart by our foreman
to test the capacity Of the mill, but as i
was found we were short of men to TAKE
the lumber away, only one gang was rul
with the above result, which we neve
knew to be beat. It is novel machine
and would we'll pay the travel Of man!
miles to see it in operation.
