The Uncle Toms Cabin troupe at the
Hall, on Saturday night, had a large audi
ence, the room being well filled. The per-
formance, however, was poor, and the
crowd came away dissatisfied. The troupe
left town, on Sunday morning, to impose
upon our neighbors of Middletown, Del.
You can buy from Messrs VIM. Read
& Son, 13 Faneuil Hall Square, Boston, a
good English Breech-loading Gun, for the
small sum of $3S, 90; they keep also the
finest guns, and there is nothing in the
sporting line that they cannot furnish you
at less price than any other house. Write
them for catalogue.
The first sitting of the Officers of Reg
istration closed last evening. In this dis
trict 81 names were added to the list and
81 stricken off, up to the hour of going
to press. There will be but two more
days upon which persons not registered
can be placed upon the list, Monday and
Tuesday, the end and Bird Of October.
The picnic of the Elk Neck Sabbath
school, held in the grove adjoining the resi-
dence of Parker George, Esq, on Satur-
day last, was largely attended and highly
enjoyed by all. Messrs. Geo. Lee, &. P.
Smith and Hal Nicols, the committee in
charge, were indefatigable in their efforts
to render it pleasant to all who were there,
and they succeeded admirably.
The back yard Of the Howard House,
on Wednesday last, looked like "sugar
camp" All that was needed was the big
naples. The huge kettles swinging over
the fire were there, and busy hands stirring,
scimming and pouring from vessel to vessel.
We suspect peaches and other fruit were
being prepared to tickle the palates of the
guests during the Winter.
"A young lady of Little Elk is in pos
session of hen that exhibits remarkable
penchant for increasing her family, as she
has rolled a number of onions into a nest
and persistently refuses to discontinue set
ting thereon, although she has been shooed,
pushed and even threatened, and her nest
displaced several times. Perhaps soaking
in boiling water would stop her.
-Messrs Bennett & Boulden now have
on hand large herd of the most magniti-
cent cattle ever afoot. Without doubt they
are unsurpassed in size, quality and condi-
10 nF
thing unusual for country dealers, and it
cannot fail of success. Their purchases
recently have amounted to over $4,000,
and our citizens can confidently expect
superior beef for some time.
Mr.. OAT ADAMS, agent for Prof Phar.
azym, Magician and Ventriloquist, has call
ed upon US and announces that the Prof.
will give an entertainment at Odd FellOtcS
Hall, on the 18th, 18th aud 18th of Septem-
Der. Beside the entertainment he gives
FREE GRATIS 100 Valuable Presents
each night. His reputation is well known,
tickets early. Admission, 25 cents.
-Ye ancient Englishman used to sing:
"The rule of the roads a paradox, as we
drive along,
For if we go to the left we're right, but if
to the right we're wrong"
This thing, however, has been changed
long ago, and those who have been in the
habit of damaging the wheel hubs of their
more slows going neighbors, must remem-
Der that the right now is right and the left
wrong.
"A couple of Elkton bloods visited some
ladies in the country one evening, last
81, I, 4 !
they discovered that their horse had broken
loose from his fastening and wandered off
they knew not where. Consequences
pleasant (o) walk home. One of them was
almost scared out of his whiskers by the
sudden shrek of an owl hard by his side.
Without further annoyance they reached
home before morning.
We especially announce, this week,
that the lady who fell overheard from a
boat in Elk River, some to weeks ago, a la
Summer duck, does not live at east end of
Main street. We make this lucid explana-
ton because a young lady resident of that
locality, who so far as all else is concern
ed, except that she was not in the boat,
might have been the party alluded to, and
who has suffered from the thought that
she is generally supposed to be the unfor-
sure of mind until the dear public knows
'twasn't her.
Wilkinson, the sewing machine man.
is no longer special Elkton institution.
He has closed up his establishment, on
North street, and hereafter-like Living
ston for many years-may be found every
where. He will make the world (of Cecil
county, his home, and from the spot where
at night he may pitch his tent, he will. in
the morning silently steal away. Our
County friends will, perhaps, now see more
of him than formerly. His post office
address will, however, continue to be at
this point, from which he will regularly
receive his mails, and, we almost forgot to
say, he is still ready to furnish all kinds of
sewing machines.
Under the head of a festival, feast,
sociable, or some other pleasant sounding
title, we would note that Bob, (the irrepres-
sible Bob Frazer, on Wednesday evening
last, entertained number Of his friends
at a watermelon eating. The melon was
so large that table wouldn't hold it, or
Bob had no table, we didn't know which,
so it was cut upon the floor. When one of
the guests chanced to drop choice morsel
upon this original board and hesitated to
take it again Bob remarked, "you needn' t
be afraid; the floor is swept every day
The feast began at nine P. NJ. and continued
full twenty minutes, or until nothing was
left but seed and rind, and not much OF
these.
Attempts are being made by the press
of neighboring counties of Pennsylvania
to induce the farmers to furnish reports OF
their various crops, in such shape that a
reliable statement of the work of the coun,
ty could be made out. Thus of wheat, the
variety planted, circumstances of culture,
fertilizers used, yield, &c; also, of al
other crops including fruit. To our farm
ers we would say, send us report of your
doings this season, and let us make up
statement therefrom. Very much valuable
information could thus be conveyed from
one to the other. Many new varieties OF
cereals are being introduced, the merits
and demerits of which made public would
be of profit to all. Give us an hour or two
either with pen and paper, or come in and
| tell us about it.
