On Thursday a train passed Elkton
running at rate Of speed which looked
like mile per minute. The train was a
special, and contained Colonel Thomas A.
Scott, President of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road; Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt,
President of the New York Central; Mr.
Hugh j. Jewett, President of the Erie
Railroad, and seven other gentlemen con-
nected with these railroad corporations in
some capacity. 1t reached Union Depot,
Baltimore, at 1877 p. NJ, thus making the
run from Jersey City to Baltimore city In
four hours and seven minutes. This is the
fastest time made between New Y ork and
Baltimore, and probably the best running
ever accomplished for the same distance in
the United States. The distance from
Jersey City to Baltimore is about 1870 miles,
and was made in PAT minutes, or about a
minute and quarter for each mile, in
Guiding stoppages.
In our death column we publish the
obituary of Mrs. Polly Gillespie, a woman
as remarkable for her many domestic and
social virtues, as for her hale, robust health
through long life, which had nearly COM
pleted century. Mrs. Gillespie died in
her Goth year, and during her entire life,
was one of the most active and healthy
women of her neighborhood. She was the
mother of family of six children, all of
whom lived to or beyond middle age, and
passed off oflifes stage before their mother.
Having closed the eyes Of husband and
children, one by one, she calmly awaited
the summons which called her to that un-
discovered country, whence the friends and
acquaintance of her youth and all those
most dear in life had gone before. A large
family of grand children, the offspring of
her son William, are left to cherish the
memory of the aged grand parent. Some
admirirg friend or acquaintance of the
deceased sends us a flord obituary, with
request to publish; but it is so entirely
foreign to the plain transformations life of
her, that it would rather detract from, in
place of concentrating and honoring the
life it attempts to so bepraise with fulsome
fattery. We have long known the mod
est, but sterling merit of the deceased, and
known it much better, we presume, than
the casual acquaintance, who, with high
sounding phrase, would attempt to herald
her virtues to a bustling world which takes
little heed of any one of the vast multitude
that drops out of its countless throng.

Danger from Eating Nuts.-As this is the
season for drinking cider and eating nuts,
it may not be amiss to give hint which
may be useful. Medical men advise that
salt should be taken with nuts, especially
when they are eaten at night. One time,
says writer, while enjoying visit from
an Englsman, hickory nuts were served in
the evening, when my English friend call
ed for salt, stating that he knew of a case
of woman eating heartily of nuts in the
evening, and was taken violently i'll. The
celebrated DR.. Abernethy was sent for,
but it was after he had become too fond of
his cup, and he was not in condition to 60.
He muttered "salt salt - of which no
notice was taken. Next morning he went
to the place and she was corpse. He said
had they given her salt it would have re-
lieved her; and if they would allow him to
make an examination, he would convince
them. On opening the stomach, the nuts
were found in mass. He sprnkled salt
on this and it Immediately dissolved. l

General Sherman's annual report to
the Secretary of War shows that the total
number of enlisted men in the army on
October 18th. was 26,441. He estimates
that by ordinary casualties, discharges and
deaths, the number will be reduced by the
1st of January to the $4,000 allowed by
law. He declares so small force made
quate to the demands of so large an area
of territory, and says it is impossible to
maintain companies on remote stations at
the small legal standard, because months
must elapse after discharges and deaths.

rendezvous.

The Richards Onk."-On stepping

The Richards Olk."-On stepping
down into the County Commissioners
Office on Wednesday morning last, the
photograph hanging on the wall, in a neat
walnut frame, of an old familiar and re-
markable tree, greeted US, with the above
inscription beneath. There was, indeed,
the magnificent whiteoak, with its round
wide-spreading head, which stands in the
middle of the public road, near the resi-
dence of Jacob Richards, in the Sixth
District, about two and ahalf miles west
of Rising Sun, and within few yards of
the cross roads running from the old
Octoraro Forge to Vinegar Hill. We re-
member this famous tree as associated with
our earliest recollections. For months we
passed beneath it's wide spreading bougbs,
when as "school boy with satchel and
shining morning face, creeping like snail
unwilingly to school," we passed and
repassed it morning and evening, nor then
thought of its majestic proportions giving
it title to monarch of the woods.
On the reverse of the photograph the
dimensions are given-girth twelve inches;
from the ground sixteen feet; spread of
head across the road ninety feet. The
broad, round top constitutes it's greatest
charm, the large gnarled branches extend
ing horizontally from the trunk, having
the dimensions of large trees.
The tree was photographed by Philip S.
P. Conner, Esq, who resides in the
Eighth District, near Rowlandsvile, and
who presented the copy we saw, to be
placed in the Commissioners Office
An old man named Curtis Lowe, who
resided near Rock Springs, and who has
been dead many years. said that he knew
this tree when it was no larger than hoop
pole. He must, however, have been mis-
taken in the tree, for from the present time
| to his earliest recollection could not exceed
much, if any, a century. The Richards
Oak is evidently the productionof not less
than two centuries. When this county
was a bowling wilderness the acorn grew
from which sprang this noble oak.
The thanks of the public are due to Mr..
Conner for transferring its image to paper
by the photographers art.
The tree is still vigorous and healthy
having apparently another hundred years
of life in it's sturdy branches and deep,
! strong roots.

"A bold and successful forgery was per-
petrated in Philadelphia, on Tuesday, by
which the City Controller and several bank
ing houses were swndled out of various
sums, aggregating $4,000. Warrants on
the city treasury which purported to have
been drawn by the Board of Education in
favor of certain school teachers, and war
rants drawn in favor of policemen, bearing
the Mayors signature, were cashed by the
Controller without question, so skilfully
were they executed. One of the rascals
was caught while trying to obtain payment
of a check in one of the banks, but very
stupid detective allowed him to escape.

among the whites were occasioned by the

negroes were killed, only one white man
and he an innocent spectator-lost his life.

of the mules or horses hitched to the wagon;
this started the team, which ran short
distance, when they were headed by one of
the men who was near by in a field. The
mules turned, however, and managed to
upset the wagon and hay. Mr.. McNamee
was thrown by the falling Of the ladder vio
lently on the ground, and severely sprained
in the heels and about the ankles. The
accident occurred on the farm in Elk Neck.
