TO THE CHARITABLE.

The Home for the Friendless at Easton,
Nd, is the only charity Of its kind on the
Eastern Shore. 1t receives destitute and
orphaned children without reference to
religious belief or training; and thus by its
broad benevolence commends itself to the
entire public of the Shore.
The Assembly at its last session made a
moderate appropriation for the Institution,
which, however, is not available for some
months. Meantime, the funds of the Home
are much straitened, and the Managers ap-
peal urgently for aid. Money, dry goods
clothing or provision, would be acceptable.
Those who desire to help good cause, are
requested to send their donations to Mrs.
William Falls, of the Howard House, be-
fore the first of August.

A Reading ROOm.-The project of a
Reading Room for Elkton, which we incl
dentally mentioned last week, we are in
formed is being agitated with a fair pros
pect of success. The need Of some pleas
ant place of resort for gentlemen to spend
their idle hours is much felt by our COM
munty, and this want is the cause, or ex-
cuse at least for resorting to places whose
associations and surroundings are such us
not to improve the morals of young men,
or indeed older ones either. A public place
where all the newspapers and periodicals of
the day could be had, and an adjoining
room for social conversation, and cigar
if desred-could be enjoyed, it is felt by
those who have given some attention to
Reading Rooms as established in other
towns and cities, would be u promoter of
good morals, and tend to the improvement
of society. The Rooms might be fitted up
with a few pictures and case of stereo-
scopic views and other amusements fur
nished, and if the janitor was thrifty per-
son he could turn an honest penny while
administering to the comfort of the visitors
by making arrangements to furnish oys-
tiers, fruits, &c. Our neighboring town of
New Castle, Del, has Reading Room of
this kind, which, we are told, has been
maintained long time, and has become
very popular. Where there are no such
places of public resort in town, men are
tempted to spend their leisure hours in
places it would be better they were absent
from. The human biped is gregarious
creature, and in general has strong pro-
pensity to resort where he canflnd COM
pany and gossip with his neighbors.
Such Reading Room as above contem-
plated would form a convenient and practi-
cal nucleus for Public Library, which, if
permanently established would add to the
intelligence and responsibility of the town
immensely. We hope the philanthropic
efforts of those who are endeavoring to
work up the matter of establishing Read
ing Room, W ill meet with the success which
their efforts deserve. The project requires
an organized membership and some money
to inaugurate and conduct, but it would be
an investment that would pay in good
works an abundant reward for the labor
and cost. The feet of many young men
now straying into the crooked paths of
vice, might be turned aside by this means
to walk in those of virtue and honor.

Barn Burned.-The barn of Daniel Har-

Barn Burned.-The barn of Daniel Har-
vey, about q miles from Elkton, on the
New Leeds road, was burned on Tuesday
afternoon last, with about fifteen tons of
hay and one load of wheat; mare and
two colts also persisted in the flames. The
origin of the fire is not known, but it is
supposed that it may have resulted from
spontaneous combustion by the heating of
the new hay; but the more probable theory
is that children and matches were about
the barn. Mr.. William Harvey had left
the barn but about half an hour previous
to the fire breaking out. The barn was
insured in Baltimore company, and the
building is probably covered by the insur-
ance; but on the produce, which was the
property of William Harvey, the tenant,
there was no insurance. Pieces of burn
ing shingles and sparks were carried by
the wind, which was blowing strongly
from the west at the time, for two hun
dred yards, into the wheat field of DR..
Mackall, setting it on fire in several places
and burning up several shocks of wheat.
By great exertion and watchfulness, the
fire was kept from spreading in the stubble
field, which communicated with the barn,
that would have been burned also had the
fire got beyond control in the Doctors
wheat field.

Up In a Balloon.-The early risers on
Sunday morning last, witnessed balloon
at a considerable elevation, moving in a
southeast course, between this town and
Newark. The distance was too great to
distinguish persons in the car with the
naked eye. The balloon was moving in a
direct line for Delaware City, over which
town it passed, and landed not far from
Salem, N. J. The balloon started from
Buffalo, N. Y, on Saturday evening, the
4th inst, under the direction of Prof. King.
The Courier of that city says:
"At fifteen minutes past five the initiation
was complete. The basket was well sup
piled with provisions, blankets, and over
coats. The gentlemen accompanying Pro-
fessor King were Mr.. Luther l.. Holden, of
the Boston Journal; Mr.. w. T. Chester,
and Mr.. James Albro. At four minutes
past six the balloon started on her voyage,
with the wind, according to Observer Nit
chell's calculations, moving at the rate of
eight miles an hour"
A correspondent of the Courier, writing
from Salem, New Jersey, on the 9th, gives
some interesting particulars of the voyage.
He says:
CATER leaving Buffalo and passing sew
eral villages, the balloon rose to a hight of
5000 feet, and soon after rose to n greater
altitude, and for time the earth was
obscured. After travelling until midnight
a range of lofty mountains began to appear,
which Prof King decided to be the Allie
rho In bn
Buffalo found itself taking a more east
erly course than before, and flying over
scenes of unexampled beauty. The richly
cultivated fields of York county, Pennsyl-
vania, and the northern corner of Maryland.
The views over this garden spot of the
North beggars description. Our course
became more easterly, and it was evident
that We would approach the Atlantic
coast. We crossed the Susquehanna river
about four miles above Havre de Grace, at
twenty minutes past five, then sailing at a
hight of nearly two miles, and the splendid
panorama of this sinuous river visible for
a hundred miles of it's length. The Poto-
mac river to the south and Chesapeake and
Delaware bays in front, and the Atlantic
in the distance, was rolled out before the
delighted eyes of the voyagers. We crossed
the Delaware bay at $50 directly over Del
aware City, sailed on nearly east, though a
little south, passed directly over Salem
City, and at five minutes past seven Pro-
fessor King made a successful, though
rather exciting landing among lot of scrub
oaks, about ten miles beyond this point
The balloon must have travelled about four
hundred miles in thirteen hours, and the
voyage is one of the longest and most in
teresting on record

Be Cleanly.-A thousand things affect
the health. No single good thing is uni
versal panacea to keep body and mind in
good condition. June air, pure water,
good food, neither poverty nor riches-all
these 60 to make up the factors of ones
physical and social life. At this season,
however, an all important element is clean
illness. Remember Faraday has told us
that single rotten potato throws off
enough malaria to poison an entire family
and give them typhoid fever. But there
are many cellars in city and country, even
at this season of the year, that are still
reeking with clearings of potatoes, turnips,
cabbage, and other nameless filth. Every
such cellar is nausea of disease and
death. Beware and clean them out, al
though great deal of other work be left
undone. And when cleaned scatter lime
over the floor, or some other good disin-
fectant.
