On last Monday the proprietors of the
Hartford House and Nixon's Hotel were

active or open demonstrations have been
made.
About O clock on Wednesday afternoon,
the back building of the dwelling of Mr..
Z. p. Field was discovered to be on fire.
A force of men with buckets and water
were soon on hand and after a pretty hard
contest, for the mastery with the flames,
subdned them. The fire succeeded in
reaching the main building but was not al
lowed to make much Roadway therein.
The damage done to the building and

Pigeon Match-gnd District VS.. 3rd
District.-A large number of the sporting
fraternity with many others as lockers on,
assembled on Wednesday afternoon to
witness a pigeon match, held in field
adjoining the town. The contesting par
ties were Messrs. Polk Steele, Edw. Bid
die and Henry Bidle, who came up to try
their skill against Messrs. G. W. Maxwell,
A. P. Shockley and Harrison Bennett;
each party had the privilege of pointing
his shooting iron at ten birds. The stran-
gers won the toss and Mr.. Maxwell was
the first to discharge his piece and open
the ball. At first the Elktonians scored
greatly ahead. at one time leading by five
| birds, but their opponents improved, and
toward the last did some very creditable
shooting, especially Mr.. Steele, who killed
five straight birds; he and Mr.. Bennett
both lost bird by falling dead a few feet
out of bounds. Messrs. Maxwell and Edw
Biddle also did WE'LL killing seven out of
ten; but to Mr.. Shockley, belongs the
credit of doing the best shooting, and had
be let well enough alone, instead of chal
longing Stesis. for second match, he
would certainly have saved C defeat and a
Woful one too, as all the birds in the last
match were young and scarcely able to fly.
Should there be another match, the man
ayers should try to have their dogs tied up
at home, and also to enforce better order
among the outsiders, as the rope they put
up was of no use whatever; and when the
trap was sprung, should bird refuse to
fly, while the umpire would Ly his watch
be ascertaining the requisite so seconds to
call "ps Bird" many would indulge in
making noises and clapping their hands,
and even one of the trappers who should
have known better, waved his hat to
friehten bird. The following is a score
of the shooting;

suddenly on Tuesday night last. He was
apparently in his usual health when he
the night by some manifestations of illness
on the part of her husband, and turning
up the light, discovered that something
serious was the matter, when she imme-
diately called the family, but when they
reached the room the man was dead.
Mr.. Lynch was we'll known by many of our
citizens. He was in Elkton the day pre-
vious to his death in his usual health.

laws of the United States in 1866 !; and
represented this country in part in the
Geneva arbitration. His long expert
ence in political life, his knowledge of
languages, and his services in the vari-
ous departments of government, ought
to enable him to represent this country
at Madrid with ability, Notwithstanding
the fact that]he is accepting effice at al
age when most men are content to retire.
The appointment of Caleb Gushing as
Minister to Spain in place OF Gen.
Sickles is understood to mean that our
Government is determined to have no
more bungling of our diplomacy with
that country, and wishes to replace our
late hot-headed representative with a
cool-headed and experienced diplomat.
1t is suspected that Sickles' manage
ment has placed matters at Madrid in
such position that, although it is
second-class mission, cur Government
must send a first class minister to
straighten them out. Next to Charles
Francis Adams, no American is better
known abroad than Mr.. Gushing, and
his appointment will tend to dignity our
Spanish mission in the eyes of all Eu-
ropean nations except the English,
whose disfavor Mr.. Gushing earned by
his attack On Chief-Justice Cockburn.

A POOR-HOISE REVOLT.


The canned meat sent from Australia
to Great Britain, though highly praised
by the physicians and chemists, is not
appreciated by the common people, who
do not form their opinion of its value
from a scientific standpoint. No num-
Der Of recommendations will make it an
acceptable article of food for the poor.
A remarkable revolt recently took place
at the poor-house in Cardiff on the at
tempt to introduce this foreign meat.
For several days paupers sent their food
away untasted, and expressed their dis
approval of it in various ways. In con-
sequence of these proceedings the visit
ing committee partook of meal of
Australian mutton prepared as an Irish
stew. 1t was thought that their exam
pie would have beneficial influence on
the paupers, but such was not the case.
When, the next day, broth made of the
meat was sent into the hospital, the
nurse who carried it was assailed with
shower OF spoons, loaves of bread and
other articles. On the appearance of
the master of the house, several of the
women jumped out of the windows and
set up cry of defiance. The tumult
was such that they had to be taken into
custody, and subsequently th( were
committed TO prison for twenty one days.

A MODERN SAMSON.

The city of Newport, r. l., boasts Of
n man whose muscular powers are al
most as remarkable as his who carried
off the gates of GAIA. When a boy he
used to amuse spectators by putting his
feet inside peck measure and putting
a barrel of flour on his shoulder. Later
in life he shouldered a ship anchor,
weighing five hundred pounds, carried
it upa flight ofstairs into hotel, brought
it back to the wharf from whence it was
taken, and placed it on, the scales to have
it weighed. The distance he carried
the anchor was about four hundred yards.
The feat was considered so remarkable
that an account of it was entered on the
records, aud duly certified to by persons
who witnessed it. On another occasion,
seeing half dozen men trying to turn
hogshead of molasses on end, he ordered
them aside and accomplished the work
unaided Though now fifty-seyen years
old, he can, at any time, place a barrel
of flour on his shoulders. -t

AGASsiZ on THE THEORY or FTOLU-
TION.

- TION.
The current atlantic has a paper
from Prof. Agassiz, on the theory OF
evolution. twill be read with peculiar
interest now. The Gro1,h'c says it was
the Professors intention to present III
this series of papers his reasons for
rejecting the doctrine of evolution and
all its correlated ideas, holding to the
theory of special miraculous creations.
It is great pity that he did not live to
complete this work. For he would
doubtless have brought together the
strongest objections and most effective
arguments against a doctrine that is
daily gaining ground among the stu
dents and teachers of science in this
country aud in Europe. There IS no
use in blinking the fact that this is
really the great and vital question of
science, philosophy, and religion to-
day. 1t is the pivot on which all specu
lation and faith turn. And it is not
little singular that Prof. Agassiz, who
twenty-five years ago was looked upon
IS the teacher of heresies, had become
the leading champion of orthodox be-
levers in America. and without chang
ing his own convictions whit. They
had come to recognize him as the ablest
and most competent defender and adj
vocate of the views they consider es
sential to the integrity Of the Christian
religion and church. His loss will be
the more deeply deplored by the fact
that thousands looked forward with
eager hope TO the efforts he might make
to check the spread of views they re-
garded as hostile tos Christianity and
subverssive 81 ppieiyy. Certainly their re-
gret will be shared by every student of
science, for it is out of such honest and
earnest discussions that the truth is
made clear
