Took THE WRONG TRAIN.-An Elkton
merchant, wishing to visit North East,
bought ticket for that point on Tuesday
last, just as the two morning trains were
approaching the depot. When he had
handed over the change and pocketed his
ticket, he walked out and took his seat in
the car which had just stopped in front Of
the depot. He failed, however, to notice
to which end of the train the engine was
attached, and by the time the cars were
under fair headway, he discovered that he
was being whisked away towards Phila-
delphia, just the opposite direction to that
in which he wanted to go. AS he couldn't
with safety alight while the train was run
ming at the rate of thirty miles an hour, he
kept his seat until he arrived at Newark,
when he left the car and made tracks for
home ON foot, concluding to defer his trip
to North East to another day.

cents worth of creosote, my wifes so crazy
with the toothache that she can't sleep,
said an Elkton man as he stepped hurriedly
into Frazer's drug store the other evening;
and when the attendant informed him that
he couldn't sell less than five cents worth,
he groaned and said the times are so hard
he couldn't stand it, and then bought ten
cent cigar, and with IA care worn face re-
marked that he believed the times were
getting harder every day, and strolled out
on the street to discuss the matter with his
neighbors.
A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-" Beet seed, beet
seed; what are they like, wife, said an
Elkton man as he walked into the garden
with package in his hand that he had
just taken from the top shelf of the kitchen
dresser. And when she told him that
they were little round black things, he
made his drills and planted them, mean
while calculating how he would dispose of
his crop of blood reds. But they didn't
sprout worth cent, and two weeks after
wards, when he discovered that he had
planted dried currants instead of beet seed,
he left that garden as though swarm OF
bees was after him. 1t will he dangerous
to say "beets" to that man for a month to
come.
CHURCH FURNITURE.-An extremely
handsome set of pulpit and chancel furni-
ture was placed in the Methodist Episcopal
Church yesterday, by Mr.. Robt. Marsh
bank, furniture manufacturer of this place.
1t consists of six pieces-tive chairs and a
table-of the latest pattern and very elab-
orately carved. This furniture was pur-
chased by the young ladies Of the church,
with portion of the money realized at
the supper recently given by them. Regu-
lar attendants upon church service will see
it tomorrow morning. Those who do not
attend church would do well, in the absence
of a better motive, to go to look at the
furniture. Perhaps while seeing they may
hear something that will do them good.

CECIL FARMERS CLUB.-The Cecil Farm
ers Club met at the residence of Mr.. II. H.
Duyckinck, on Wednesday last, the oath
| inst. There was full attendance of mem
bers. together with some invited guests.
! After the usual routine of business was
| transacted, the premises were viewed by
the members of the Club. The whole ar
| rangement of the farm and buildings, with
| the tillage of the soil, showed that the
plans were all we'll matured and carried out
with the skill of first class farmer. The
| stock was all in excellent condition, among
which we noticed six brood sows of the
Essex stock with forty seven pigs; but the
| climax was reached when we came to the
premium oxen that Mr.. ID. has been feeding
for the last year. They are really immense
and beautiful. They must be seen to be
appreciated. Their weight is about 5, 400
pounds. The company was invited by the
hostess to a most sumptuous dinner,-.just
such one as she knows how to get up
to which we did ample justice. We hope
to give more extended notice of the
matter.
New RAILROAD Enthusiastically, peo-
pie build bridges over creeks, rivers,
chasms or other breaks in tn, line of travel,
but the novel sight of bridge being built
at point on the p, w. L. b. Railroad
where there is no ble,k of any kind,
may now be witnessed, one mile above
town. The old culvert-two hundred feet
long-at this point, is giving way, and the
Company find it necessary to replace it,
To avoid interfering with travel, they have
begun the construction of an iron, ont.
span bridge, at the west terminus of the
culvert The track is shored up with
heavy timbers at the points where it is
necessary to excavate for the abutments at
each end, but the earth will not be removed
at any other point except as it is replaced
by the iron work of the bridge. After it
is completed the earth will then be dug
away beneath it, causing the channel of
the creek to flow under it, and the old
channel, where the culvert now stands,
will be filled up. This plan of bridge
building is peculiar to railroad men, and,
to the ordinary citizen, novelty worth
seeing.

Messrs. Seth W. Fowle Il Son, Boston.
Gents:-About two years ago ! had a
severe attack of bronchitis. My throat
was very sore, and at one time | could not
speak above a whisper. Reading in one of
your pamphlets of cures that had been
effected by DR.. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF
WILD CHERRY, was induced to give the
article trial. the result of which was
quite satisfactory. The use of one bottle
restored me so much that thought there
was no need of taking more, but upon
taking slight cold, l felt the trouble
returning. then took half a bottle OF the
BALsAM, which has entirely cured me.
now with pleasure recommend this really
invaluable article to all who are suffering
from similar diseases, and am confident
that after single trial. they will speak OF
it in the terms | now do. Respectfully
yours, Mrs. SARAH SMITH.

Observation-Disclosures Hal Nicols and r.
II. Foard met with an accident, on Friday
evening last, of such a nature that it seems
almost miraculous that they escaped with
out injury. They were driving from
Battle Swamp towards Elkton, with a load
Of tinware. AS they descended STEEP
hill, at Jackson's mill, the horse took
fright, and ran furiously down the steep.
The road is winding at this point, and, on
the right, considerably below the level OF
the road, is mill race. The horse, in his
fright, was running directly towards the
dam, and had he gone twenty yards fur,
ther the wagon and all would have been
precipitated down the embankment into
the race below. Fortunately, however,
just at this moment he stumbled and fell,
and the wagon, giving lurch sideways,
capsiZed. The wagon and tinware were
badly demolished, but both men and horse
escaped without serious injury.

The remainder of this beautiful sentiment
was lost in a loud, ringing laugh from his
companion, who was t;ckled almost to
death that his sharp eyed friend should
mistake the picture of Isabella, Dom Pc
dros daughter, for Dom himself in his
youthful days.
