The business of this place is gradually
brisking up as the season advances towards
spring.
The extensive bone mandatory of Thos.
Waring & Bro, opened the first of the
month, which adds much to the business
of our village.
A great amount of hay has been shipped
from this place through the winter season
by our ticket agent of the depot, Mr..
Brown.
Elliot and Hindman keep a ready supply
of dry goods and groceries at their large
store on the corner.
The roads in this section were rapidly
improving until Wednesday; much against
our will, the snow came, which will again
make them for some time much worse.
The West Nottingham Academy, situat-
ed about one mile from this place, is in a
promising condition. The number Of pu-
pills of this institution are sixty five.
The farmers in this section, owing to the
open winter, have made some progress in
their business. Some of them have done
considerable of blowing; but will be COM
PEELED to enjoy the comforts of a warm fire
a little longer.

The visit of Cecil Lodge, No. 81, X. Of
p. to Monumental Lodge, No. 2, of Balti-

The reception of the Cecil Knights was
cordial in the extreme, and evinced the
fraterna feeling that actuates the Order.
The Baltimore Lodge intend returning the
visit at an early date.
On Monday last the election for Town

Pugh and J. Nannort were chosen as our
City Fathers for the ensuing year. There
are some improvements which the Board
might wisely consider. The renovation of
the pavement in the upper part of the
town, furnish supply of water, and
some others which will suggest themselves
to the officials.
Report says we are to have one or two
more drug stores soon among US. This
must be profitable branch of business, as
one of our stores at present is frequently
closed, and yet does tiourishing business.
We hope the new stores will confine the
use of liquors strictly to medicinal pur-
poses.
The steamer Maggie, this week COM
menced her usual trips to Lapidum. We
learn that a larger boat, which will carry
team, has been secured, and is now be-

great convenience to travel.
The granite quarries are still in opera

Coulson's quarry, and is making prepare IL.

The last few days almost led us to think
that winter was past, and the time of the
singing of birds had come, but our bright
anticipations were rudely dispelled by a
snow fall beginning, which continued
through the day, giving the landscape a
wintry appearance, and postponing indefi-
ntely the advent Of Spring. The lovers
of sleighing were enjoying the sport before
the snow had ceased falling, and the merry
bells and bellies ring out their music and
laughter as they glide on their slippery
way.

AN APOLOGY.
BALTI,IORE. Feb. %,

BALTIMORE, Feb. 23, 1874.
In my lecture on " 4 Yankee in Europe"
delivered at the Odd Fellows Hall, Elkton,
on Friday evening, the 20th inst, made
a passing reference to the people CT Ger
many, in which l spoke Of their drinking
habits. l was subsequently reproyed by
4 German lady, who was present in the
very intelligent audience assembled on
that occasion, for not dealing more fairly
with the Germans. | write this to say
apologetcally that was not attempting to
give an analysis of the German character,
at that time; but merely casually speaking.
as a temperance man, ID terms of condem-
nation, of their excessive drinking customs,
as | would, (and do speaking of the same
matters among our American citizens.
never have any apology for dissipation and
drunkenness, no matter where found, at
home or abroad. | have great respect for
those manly elements of the German char
acter that have made their nation intel
lectually great; but none whatever for their
almost universal beer drinking.
Yours truly,
Tnas. l.. PoULsuN.

A New Steamer.-Mr. J. E. Alexander

A New Steamer.-Mr. J. E. Alexander
& Bro, manufacture new patent steamer
the patent right Of which, for this county,
is at present in possession of Mr.. II. Titus
This steamer is one of the most useful
cheap and simple inventions that has been
brought out in the culinary department for
some time. 1t consists of a boiler made
of tin, with heavy metal bottom, which
will hold from two or three gallons of
water with spout like an old-fashioned
tin coffee pot, into which the water is
poured to keep the boiler filled up and pre-
vent boiling dry. On this boiler is placed
as many steamers, three or four as desir-
ed, fitted one on top of the other, made
like the ordinary tin steamer which accom-
panies the cooking utensils that are found
with all cook stoves, except that the bot
tom of these steamers is not perforated.
The steam which is generated in the boiler
escapes through an inch tube on the side
of the boiler near the top, and is conveyed
by a jointed pipe or tube into each steamer.
which is connected by joint pipe with
the main steam tube. Each steamer is
provided with false or movable bottom
which is perforated and which is supplied
with feet that separate it from the bottom
proper of the steamer. Between the false
and main bottoms the steam tube enters.
By this continuance half dozen steamers
if required can be placed one on top of
another and be supplied with steam from
the boiler in the bottom, and as many diff
fsrent kinds of vegetables and meats cook
ed at the same time and all occupy
only one boissg hGle in the stove, which
is of no inconsideraL,e importance. Com.
munication between the different arti-
cles cooking at the same time is com
plstely shut off, and there can be no
mixing Of favors, as too often happens in
cooking vegetables by the common steam
en- The new patent steamer is a cheap
and valuable institution that should form
part of the paraphernalia of every well
ordered kitchen.

GA Yankee i'm Europe. '-The lecture OF

GA Yankee in EurOpe."-The lecture of
Rev. T. L. Poulson, on Friday night last,
in Odd Fellows Hall, for the benefit of the
Presbyterian Church, on the above subject,
afforded an evening of most agreeable
entertainment. The impetuous current of
the lecturers eloquence forbids the posi-
bility of the interest of his hearers flag
ging, as incident after incident of travel,
and scene upon scene of historic and liter
airy note is sketched with few rapid
dashes, as if by the pencil of an artist
rather than the words and gestures of
lecturer. The home of Burns, the old
town of Ayr, the banks of Bonny Doom,
old Kirk-Alloway, the scene of Tam
O'Shanter's adventure with the witches,
Abbotsford the home of Scott and its TO-
mantle scenery, the mountains and lakes
of Scotland made classic by the muse of
Sir Walter Scott, were sketched in rapid
camera. Glawgow with its historic men,
cries clustering thick about it; the beauti-
full Mary Queen of Scots and her time
were shown to the audience, and the lee
turer hurried on through the crooked
streets of London pointed out over its
miles on miles of gilded palaces, rich man
sions, gorgeous churches, and squalid how
els, from the old Tower; and on across the
channel, through the towns and cities of
the continent, with their strange old cas-
ties, scenes and inhabitants, over the Alps
to the foot of the monarch of mountains,
Mt. Blanc, through the canal streets of
Venice, and back through Vienna, Paris,
London, and on board ship, at Queens
town, Ireland, across the ocean with al
most shipwreck on the American coast,
and home. The lecture was full of thrill
ing incident and detail, spiced with so
much variety that the audience sat for two
hours and scarcely marked the flight of
old time. In graphic description and min
ute detail, Mr.. Poulson ranks among first
class artists.

Brown was allowed six pigeons to Boul-

the pigeons. Had they had an even mum
Der of birds to shoot at, there would have

county. Pa, TO depart this life. When
her family circle was broken up, she came
to Cecil county, Md, where she married
her now afflicted husband and spent the
whole of her married life in Port Deposit.
OF strong constitution and apparently en-
ioying good health, her sickness came
upon her suddenly and was continuous to
the day of her death. In the latter part
of January, she was taken to Baltimore to
consult some of it's most eminent physi-
clans. But
1T is TOO late; the life of all this blood

ings and prolonged her life. yet the pro-
gress of the disease baflled all human
skill Away from a comfortable and hap
Ply nome, but surrounded by the kind and
loving, she died on February 10th.
A vitality seldom witnessed, will and
energy unsurpassed, yielded at last to the
conquerer of all things-Death. The
light which has been so long wasting and
tickerlng in the socket went out, and
when its last glimmerng rays were lost in
the suns brightness, her mourning friends
were left to Gull from the recollections of
her life, consultations for her loss and weave
chaplet of pleasant memories around a
now lifeless form. Firm and true in her
attachments, she has left behind 4 host of
friends. Fond of her church, it mourns
the loss of a faithful servant. Sadness
hangs upon the household. A grief unex-
! pressed is felt by all; a feeling of some
thing expected, yet not seen; wished for,
yet lost forever.

ings, warden of the Jail, was awaked by a
slight noise in the yard about one clock,
and opened the door. He was Immediately
seized BIZ dozen men, gagged and hand
cuffed, and thrown into coal hole. One
of his assailamts threatened to kill him with
knife, but La~ler interfered. The party
then got over the wall by means OF two
short ladders tied together, which they had
brought. In addition to the bank robbe, g.
they also taok away E. Frazier, who was
under sentessee of imprisonment for life,
for the murder of Mr.. Allison at Middle
town. Tho reseuers forced open the prison.
ers' cells by jackserews. There were
twelve or fifteen in the gang, and they are
supposed to have gone to New Castle from
Philadelphia. When the escape was dis
covered, after daylight, the Warden was
found.in such a condition that it was come
time after his release from his bonds before
he could speak Or stand. 1t is believed
that some women acted as go-betweens for
the robbers and their reseuers.
Big Frank was recaptured in Philadel-
phia, on Thursday morning last. He was
seen on the street by a citizen of Winning
ton, who followed him to a lager beer
saloon, and then notified constable, who

station house. He was soon recognized
by detective Hines. 1t is believed that he
was accompanied by Jim Hope, another Of
the gang, who walked off when Frank was
arrested.
