Everybody seemed to like the sport, and
youth and old age might be seen flying
around in manner perfectly bewildering;
the ladies seemed to enjoy it immensely.

KICKED BY HoRsE.-Mr. Jas P. Alex
ander, of this town, on Sunday last drove
over to Landenberg, Chester county, Pa,
to visit his brother. In the afternoon, two
lads about thirteen years of age, one
nephew of Mr.. Alexander, and the other
William Fisher, son of a neighbor, took
the horses from the stable to water them.
In attempting to mount one of them, young
Fisher fell, and was kicked in the fore
head by the animal. lie was quite seriously
hurt, though the physician does not think
the wounds necessarily fatal.

MAJOR HARRY SHEETS. We were visited
by the individual owning the above title,
on Monday last, being his 74th birthday
He is rare genius, printer by trade, and
for the last quarter of a century has tramped
the country over from Maine to Texas,
rarely staying in one place under any cir
cumstances longer than three or four weeks.
He learned his trade in Washington, and
ever since the day he was released from his
apprenticeship, has been on the tramp. He
is known in almost every printing office in
the land, and by his ready tact and witty
oddities, gains for himself entertainment
and help notwithstanding his vagabondism
He is the Beau Hickman among printers
He makes his rounds once in from three to
five years, recountS his adventures since
"last we met" receives whatever dona
tions are ready for him, and departs. He
arrived in Elkton on Sunday evening, pass
Jag the night in stable with "a COW and
eight other men," as he told us. The
strangest of all his characteristics is that
he is strict temperance man, never drink
ing drop under any circumstances He
departed for Washington. After reaching
that city-where he has son-he declares
he will never leave it again.
NEW ENTERPRISE.-Ihe opening of a
large and we'll selected stock of Dry Goods,
Trimmings Ribbons and Notions in our
place must be welcome news to our fair
readers. 1t is the first undertaking of this
kind, and all will agree with us when we
say that it is needed. While our merchants
keep first. class stocks in their stores, yet
none make a specially of the goods that
will be offered for sale by Mr.. Lichtenstein.
Nor does Mr.. Lichtenstein come to US as a
stranger He is favoraby known as one OF
the leading merchants of Wilmington,
where he has been in business for over 81
years, and where, by Industry, integrity
and fair dealing he has built up large
trade, second to none. No doubt many of
our Elkton ladies have dealt at his store
For years our people were compelled to go
away from home to purchase just such
goods as Mr.. L. proposes to bring to their
doors, and at prices that defy competition.
The extra expense and annoyance of travel
ing will therefore be avoided. To make
this institution permanent, generous sup
port and cordial welcome ought to be ex-
tended to Mr.. Lchtenstein.
He also proposes to have full supply of
Butterck's celebrated Patterns, for ladies,
misses and children, at an early day.

BEE HUNT.-Some Elkton wags took a
young clerk out on bee hunt, on Wednes-
day evening, with the usual results-the
firing of guns, scared boy, and some tall
running. On Thursday night another young
man, clerk for Mr.. Lieberman, clothier,
was fixed upon as a victim. As is usual in
these cases. as soon as they began hacking
at the pretended bee tree, the guns were fired
and the tricksters fell as though wounded.
But this young man didn't scare worth a
cent, but drew from under his coat a good
stout raw hide and event fol" his deceiv-
ers. He warmed their jackets so thor
oughly that they became enraged and COM
mitted an outrageous assault upon him,
throwing him into the water and other
wise maltreating him. 1t is about time
that this class of amusement was given
up by our young men; or, if they will not
do this, then it is the duty of the officers of
the law to put a stop to it.

of Monday light last by the families of our
fishermen; but much relief was felt when,
upon the arrival of the steamer at eleven
o clock. all from this town were reported
safe. The steamers brought with them
both boats and men that they picked up.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1876-05-20

STORM AND Loss OF LIFE.-The storm
on Monday night was the most severe of
the season. A number of cases of light
ming stroke are reported on the Peninsula
and lower Pennsylvania, though none in
our immediate neighborhood. The storm
on the upper bay was very heavy, and much
damage was done among the fishermen.
Some twelve boats that were out attending
their nets at the time the gust came up
were capsized. Each boat contained two
or more men, all of whom were rescued,
except Owen Murphy and his son, of
Charlestown, who are reported drowned,
as they haven't been heard from since.
The men chung to the capszed boats until
taken off, in most instances, by passing
steamers. The steamer Walden had the
frame work of her upper deck and her
whistle carried away by the wind. The
loss to the fishermen will be heavy; in
many instances they lose both net and
boat, and they are generally poor men lily
able to bear the loss. Mr.. Charles Pierce,
of North East, lost net and fixtures and
pocket book containing $75, and with the
greatest difficulty he and his two compan-
ions chung to the capsized boat until res
cued. In our Chesapeake City and North
East items full account will be found.
