nett 1, Drew 0 0. No more birds being
on hand, the sport ended. Mr.. j. Bennett
in his different matches killed seven straight
birds.
Should there be future repetition of
this sport, it would be well for the mana
gers to make better arrangements in regard
to outsiders, and certainly not allow parties
to stand within twenty or thirty feet of the
shooter and fire at the bird before it is half
out of bounds. The boys certainly do be-
have badly, but none of them were inside.
b.
Shooting pigeons from a trap is not in
as much favor among sportsmen as former
ly. 1t is looked upon as in some degree
barbarous, and not test of real sportsman
skill, and belongs more to the class of ex-
elements patronized by the professionals
and betting characters. Shooting over a
dog at wild game and at pigeons thrown
out of a trap where certain bounds are
fixed in which the bird must fall to be
counted, are so very dissimilar that the
latter, in our opinion, has no claim what
ever to be classed along with genuine field
sport.

Christmas day in the B Division was a
pleasant surprise to the pupils and teacher.
The desks were removed and the platform
occupied pro tenn. by beautifully trimmed
tree, around which the children romped for
two hours, older folks dropping in to enjoy
their unrestrained enjoyment. Rev. Mr..
Heberton and Miss Biddle, of Liberty
Grove, were among these. Three tiny
stockings hanging by the register excited
the most curiosity and fun, Santa Claus
having filled them to the very toe. The
affair closed with singing and interchange
of presents, the teacher faring SO well as
to number a dozen of useful as well as
ornamental ones. She thanks her pupils
for SO kindly remembering her.

The Reviyal.-On the 18th of last month
Rev. Fay H. Purdy, of Clyde, New York,
commenced an extra meeting in the NJ. E.
Church here. Like all true evangelsts,
his first work was to get the membership
in good working condition. In the effort
to do this, he presented some most search
ing truths, which not only reached men,
bers, but put other persons to serious think
ing. He continued his searching work for
two weeks, conducting the meetings every
highland also held meeting in the after
noons-when he was called away by some
matters which demanded his attention at
home. But his work remained behind him;
the membership were wonderfully quicken
ed, several conversions took place, and a
number of men and women who seemed
callous before, showed signs of deep and
pungent conviction. His last service here
was on Sunday night, the 9th ult., when
packed by people eager to hear the truth
from this wonderful man of God.
The meetings have continued nightly
since, with increasing success. Able and
convincing sermons have been preached by
Rev. Mr. Sheppard, of Bethel Rev. Mr..
Todd, of FELTON,, Del; Rev. Mr.. Bristor,
of Chesapeake City, and the Pastor. They
will be continued next week; the prospect
being that still more gracious work is
yet to be done here. +.

of the NJ. E. Church, was quite successful.
Mr.. G.. r. Grayson collected 1912, and won
by his efforts, the capital prize-a buggy;
W. C. Wilson turned in $262 and got a
jumps seat carriage; Henry Whitelock 1862
and drove off a sulkey; Mrs. w. w. Carter
$109.45 and received a sewing machine;
Miss Jennie Buckley put down $244 80 and
took up parlor organ; Rev. ]. d. Kemp
collected 500 and received an afghan; Miss
Ida House for S1795 drew tea set, from
which we hope she may in future draw
many exhilerating cups; Theodore Garvine
turned in 50 and rolled out wheelbarrow,
which looks more like work in earnest than
any other part of the drawing. The net
profits of the fair were 81 300.
While John Wilkinson, the sewing
machine man, was crossing the bridge at
Chesapeake City, on Thursday last, the
floor being slippery with a sheet of ice, the
hind wheels of his carriage slipped to the
side of the bridge, and one of the floor
boards got over the felloe between the
spokes, suddenly checking the horse which
sprang forwards, breaking the swingle tree
and dragging Mr.. w. out over the dash.
Some of the harness gave way and one of
the lines also parted, bringing the horses
head round toward the carriage, where he
was checked after dragging the driver a
few yards. One of the axles was bent and
the dash board broken, and some other
damage done to the carriage and harness.
The bridge is in bad condition, and the
county might be made liable for damages
sustained in such cases.

Sale Of Real Estate.-The farm Of w.

at the Court House. for $32 so per acre
The same parties sold the farm formerly for
$50 per acre, and the purchaser failed to
comply with the terms-hence the resale of
the property. But how shall we account
for the advance in price? Is real estate
beginning to look up in Cecil, and the good
time commenced coming?

Pigeon Match.-On tho morning of Jan
nary the lst, some of our young men fond
of the above sport, secured number Of
birds and shot several very exciting as well
as amusing matches. The ground selected
was the same as before used, and we must
here add that, although convenient to the
town, the lot is in no way adapted to anus
ments both as to bounds and the encroach-
ments of outside gunners. Of these latter
we will say more anon.
The sport was delayed for a considerable
time, owing to the expected arrival of sew
cral gentlemen armed with breech leaders
and great anxiety was manifested by those
then present to test the respective merits of
loading at the muzzle or breech. AT length
patience being exhausted by the non-arrival
of these gentlemen, the sport commenced
with match between Mr.. J. Bennett and
w. Smith. Two birds, as follows: Ben
nett 0; Smith 0 4; a tie. They then shot
oft at one bird each; Bennett /; Smith
0. Next, two old sea captains rsally dre~
much attention, and every one got ready
Tor S0Od lauSn, out inc result turned tie
laugh on the other sde-aS follows: Really
/: Drew u. Bennett and Really then
shot, Really killed 0 /; Bennett O.; in jus
tice to Mr.. b., it must be said that an out
slider killed his wounded bird while well in
bounds. Messrs. II. Bennett and May then
shot at two birds each. Bennett 0 l.; May
0. Again an outsider fired and killed
Mr. BIS first bird in bounds; being 4 tie,
they again shot; b. /; NJ. l-still a tie: they
shot again, b. o; NJ. Ga tie; once more,
b. /; NJ. 0. The next match was between
Shockley, II. Bennett and Drew on one
side, and Oldham J. Bennett and J. b.
Dunbar on the other; three birds each, as
follows: Shockley 001 1, II. Bennett |,
Drew O 0 o; Oldham 90 1, J Bennett 1 1,
Dunbar 0 OIL; H. Bennett struck two birds
badly, and some one caught Dunbar's bird
in a tree. Drew and Dunbar then shot at
three birds; Drew 0 0 0, Dunbar 0 0 /.

bird each; Evans O, Bennett |. The last
match was bet ween Really and Dunbar and
