North East Items.

The pulpit of the North East NJ. E.
Church was filled morning and evening of
last Sabbath by Rev. Thomas w. Shippers,
of Philadelphia (but formerly of North
East, who preached two excellent sermons
to large and attentive audience.
The Rev. D. r. Thomas, the stationed
preacher of this place, is in very precari-
Gus state of health.
We understand Mrs. Heath, who was
lying quite i'll at the time of the decease of
her grand daughter, Mrs. Rebecca Holcroft,
on receiving the sad intelligence, sprang
from her bed with the agility of youth,
and almost as suddenly dropped with paraly-
sis, from the effects of which she died on
Thursday, 9th inst.
Our public roads are in very bad condi-
ton in this vicinity. The ditch cut across
tho road, near the school house, by the
Supervisor, for the benefit of private in
dividual, is almost impossible and should
be bridged at once; or, in other words, the
bridge just few yards below, which was
rendered Of non-effect by the ditch above
alluded to, should be removed and placed
over the nuisance made by the Supervisor

who are not acquainted with the locality of
the breaches. ga word to the wise is suffi-

An Attempted Outrage.-A young lady,
named Neal, about 16 years of age, resid-
ing near North East, was brutally assault
cd, week before last, on the road between
North East and Charlestown. She had
been on a visit to friends in Charlestovn
and was proceeding home, and when on
lonely part of the road, known as Broad
Creek hill, she was suddenly seized by the
throat, by man who had stealthily ap-
preached from behind, and violently dragged
into the woods, where he threw her down
and attempted to commit his hellish pur-
pose. But at this moment a noise was
heard, which he evidently supposed was
some one approaching, for he Immediately
Jumped to his feet and ran through the
woods. After he ran away she started for
home, and meeting some friends who were
cunning, she told them, and they started
in pursuit of tho fiend, but failed to come
up with him. She was severely injured, as
the impression of his fingers remained on
her neck for several days, besides being
very much frightened. Such villains should
not be allowed to 60 unpunished

NORTH EAST, December IA, 1875.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I read in your paper of
the 18th, a piece speaking of an oyster sup
per given by Mr.. J. Gilbert to the North
East Cornet Band, and in replying to it,
will say that the Band was treated to very
nice entertainment by Mr.. G. and family,
and not being aware of any trouble or diff
ference between Mr.. G. and the Band, l
think the writer is very much mistaken
when he says the agent, meaning Mr.. g.,
wishes to compromise or make up, as
school boy would say. But will say that
Mr.. G. has contributed as much money
toward the Band, according to his means,
as any man in North East, and therefore |
think it would be well for the writer to find
out facts before he attempts to write again.
By special invitation the Band went from
Mr.. G.'s oyster supper to Mr.. Jos. Grants
to serenade sister who had just entered
upon married life, and while at Mr.. G.'s,
some drunken coward did cut our bass
drum; but it is now in good order again,
and we are prepared to play for an oyster
supper, or at any respectable place where
we may be invited. AN OBsERER.

A Patent Road Scraper.-Mr. Joseph
Megill, of Cecilton, had on exhibition here,
on Tuesday, the model of a road scraper,
which he had patented in August last.
Mr.. Megill invented the implement for his
own use, but found it did the work SO sue
cessfully that he had it patented. He used
it on his roads in the First district during
the past season, and all who saw it at work
agree that it is just the thing needed. 1t
will do as much work in day as one hun
dred men. The force required to work it
is four horses, a man and boy.
1t is an implement several feet high, and
y feet long, with a spreader attached IS
inches long. On the lower right hand end
is placed a steel scraper. 1t has tongue
some eight or nine feet long, and the in
strument is SO arranged that it is set at a
slight angle, in order that the loose earth
will pass to the left, or center of the road.
Placed at the left corner is a small roller,
which serves the double purpose of keep
ing it from dragging too heavily on the
ground and Of leveling down the fresh
earth. From near the bottom and directly
under the tongue, passes strong chain,
by which the implement is drawn. This,
with the tongue, are fastened to pair of
heavy wagon wheels. With a slight change
the scraper is put in position by which
an excellent break can be made on hill or
elsewhere, when needed. When the work
is done, and the machine is to be taken
home, a pair of wheels are put on, which
raise the scraper from the ground-these
wheels before having, by their position,
served the purpose of weight on the right
hand end.
Mr.. Megill has exhibited the implement
in Kent county, where the county authori-
ties are about buying the right to use it
there. He some time ago refused an offer
Of $4,000 for the right of the United States.
With such an implement as this evidently
is, to be procured at a small cost, there
will be no excuse in the future for the mean
roads with which we have been cursed for
the past week or so. If it will work every
where as it has done for its inventor, the
roads of the county can be put in an excel
lent condition and kept SO, at tride, COM
pared with the amount the tax payers have
to pay now for the chuck hole, break neck
passage ways called public roads. Mr..
Megll is farmer in the First district, and
we suppose will not resort to the common
modes of selling patent rights, SO those at
distance who may feel an interest in this
great implement can address him at Cecil
ton, Cecil county, Nd, on the subject.

Court PrOceedings.-The December torn
of Court began it's session on Monday last,
Judge Stump presiding.
H. H. Brady was selected as Foreman of
the Grand Jury.
At the call of the trial docket, thirty
three cases were marked for trial.
The first one tried. which consumed a
part of Tuesday, was J. S. Cook Us. Street
Brown; an action for compensation as
agent IN the purchase of hay. Verdict for
plaintiff for s.. Jones for plaintiff;
Constable for defendant
The session of Tuesday and part Of
Wednesday was occupied with the trial of
suit on a promissory note, brought by
Mrs. J. S. Hendrickson against Andrew
Beastcn and Ezra P. Bowen. The defense
set up was that the husband of the plaintiff
was indebted to the defendant, Beasten, on
larger sum than the amount of the claim,
and an alleged promise of Mrs. II. that the
respective claims should be adjusted. The
Court ruled that Hendrickson's indebted
ness to Beasten was no proper set off, and
that the agreement of Mrs. II. to pay it, if
really made, was nuduns factum or not
binding on her. Mrs. Ii. denied having
made such an agreement. Verdict for
plaintiff for s., the full amount claimed,
with interest G.. Mccullough for plain
tiff; Constable for defendant.
The next case tried was Abbott, admin
istrator of J. r. Golibart, against Joseph
Golibart. An action on account. Verdict
for plaintiff for $685. Constable and Daw-
son, of Baltimore. for plaintiff; Jones and
Haines for defendant.
Joseph Mullen's administrator as. Akin
was last on the regular docket tried before
going to press. This was an action of re-
plevin Akin made to McMullen an abso-
lutte bill of sale certain stock and utensils.
McMullen's administrator brought replevin
for the property conveyed. The prepon-
derance of proof showed that the property
seized was not in reality the property con-
veyed by the bill of sale, and hence a ver-
dict for the defendant.
Yesterday was occupied in the trial of
appeal cases, and at the time we go to press
the appeal case of Jackson Is. McQuinn
was at trial.
The Grand Jury is still in session.

Robbery Of Jewelry Store.-On Friday
night of last week, the watch and jewelry
store of Mr.. VIM. ]. Alrich, in this town,
was entered and robbed of goods to the
amount of several hundred dollars. The
thieves succeeded in forcing off the slide
in the door, by means of some instrument,
after which pane of the glass in the door
was removed and the door opened. 1t is
supposed to have been the werk of some
tramps, as several suspicious fellows were
seen in the town the evening before. Some
of the neighbors were disturbed by noise
in the night, and one gentleman got up
and looked out into the street, but saw
nothing wrong, as persons were passing
along the street.
The shoe shop of Mr.. Rash was entered
the same night and robbed of some work
and tools.
Also on the same night, an attempt was
made to fire the stable at Oldham's hotel,
by putting straw into knot-hole in one of
the sleepers, but the material was CON-
pressed too tightly and did not burn the
wood, though all the loose material around
the hole was consumed
