A few mornings since, two ravenous ours
attacked COW belonging to III. p. Town
send, which was pasturing in lot near the
town, and would, no doubt. have killed
her, had they not been driven off by John
Mari, who was attn acted to the scene on
his way to work. The dogs had maugled
her fearfully.
WORK FOR THE NEXT GRAND JURY.
Our citizens were aroused from their
peaceful slumbers, on Saturday night last,
10y the midnight revelS of lot of drunken
roughs. The Town Bailiff and Constable
Hindman were on hand, but they failed to
quell the riotous proceedings. Licensed
vendors of spirituous liquors must rcmem-
Der that they are under heavy bonds, and
a repetition of this work may test their

CENTENNIAL APPOINTMENT.
Job Hanes, of this borough, has been
appointed. in conf junction with Elk Gov.
Groome, from this Congressional district,

mittee Of the Legislature, as one of the
sub Com mittee, to aid in representing the
State of Maryland at the Exposition. All
persons having interesting relies, or old
manuscript having reference to the early
history of the State, will please notify him
at once.
A WELCOME VISITOR.
The long looked-for rain has come at
last. and all nature looks more smiling
already. The surface of the ground had
become very dry, and grass was suffering.
The wheat never looked better. Our farm
ers are generally done planting corn.
NOT ANXIOUS.
Very few persons from this neighborhood
attended the opening of the great EXPOSE
ton, nearly all preferring to await the
completion of the work before attending.

each shot knocked the prop from under our

and poor alike received the benefit of the

in the afternoon at Bank Mission Church.
MIR. Miller, pastor, preached in the Episco-

PHILADELPHIA AND THE CENTENNIAL.-
Our readers who are about to visit the great
Exhibition will find unusual preparations

branch of business has put forth its best
effort to produce special stocks of goods
for this particular Season.
The immense Stock of Splendid Clothing
displayed by MEssRs. BENNETT & Co.. of
TOWER HALL, 518 MARKET ST, is well
worth journey to inspect. The styles are

PorATo BUGs.-An Elkton gardener, on
Tuesday last, collected from a small patch
of potatoes, which are but just peepip 9
above ground. nearly half a pint of fully
grown potato bugs. The young vines are
completely covered with the larva beside.
This seems to indicate that Paris Green
will be in demand shortly.
SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS. AT the meet
ing of the Board, on Tuesday last, it was
resolved that the Examiner hold an exami-
nation of teachers in the new School
House, at Elkton, on the Both of May. and
in the School House at Port Deposit, the
3lst of May. The appointment of Trus-
tees for all the schools in the county was
also made and confirmed.

DEATH FROM LOCK JAw.-Lowery, son
of Robert Jaquette, Esq, residing near
this place, was thrown from a horse one
day last week. and though he was consid-
erably bruised by the fall, yet no fear of
serious consequences was felt. Last Sat
urday, however, alarming symptoms were
developed, and on Sunday night he died
The medical men pronounced the cause of
his death to be tetanus or lock-jaw.
BE CAREFUL.-Speculator swinded
many strangers at the Exhibition grounds
on Wednesday, by selling them fifty-cent
notes for sixty cents, and in some cases,
even at a greater advance. There is no
excuse for paying single cent rs prem
ium for the notes or coins required at the
gates. Close by each entrance stands a
small office, branch of the Centennial
National Bank, where lawful money of any
denomination is exchanged for ffty-cent
notes or silver pieces.

ACCIDENTS.

On Friday of last week, as we under
stand, Mr.. VIM. Mearns, a farmer near
this place, while narrowing his corn ground,
one of his horses, being quite young, be-
came frightened from some cause, started
to run alone, and, as a matter of course,
ran around the other horse, turning over
the spike harrow, and throwing the other
horse on the harrow. Both were cut and
bruised considerably; but, it is thought,
that with proper care they will be able for
duty in a short time. On Wednesday last,
at the steam saw MILL in this place, the
truck, while standing on the incline plane,
loaded with lumber, broke loose, coming in
contact with a gentleman named Boulder,
who mlraculously escaped being run over,
and receiving a side blow from Il board was
precipitated to the ground, getting severe
bruise on the back of his head. On the
same date, little son of Mr.. G. Baldwin,
while padding in boat in our river, fell

Mr.. Granville Jetferis, who, it is reported.
