CLAP-TRAr is trump in the House of
Representatives, and no amount Of crti-
cism or ridicule would seem to pierce the
hides Of those politicians, who think to
make a little political capital for their
party by pretending to work and vote for
the GO soldier.' The browning piece of bal
derdash is the passage by the House of the
bill to equalize bounties. They know well
enough that the country cannot afford, at
this time, to pay out $4,000, 900, a great
part of which would never reach the SOL
diers, but find its way into the pockets of
rapacious claim agents. If these Congress
men had done an equal amount of work
ing and voting for the " soldier" when in
camp and field he most needed their pract-
cal sympathy, there might be some con-
sistency in their course. The truth of the
matter is, this bounty bill is not in the in
terest of the soldier, but to fill the itching
palms of bounty agents.

At a meeting of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, of Elkton, at Bethel
Church, on Wednesday evening last, the
following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, By the dispensation of Divine
Providence, our beloved friend and brother
has passed away in the spring time of life,
full of honor, spiritual and temporal.
We, his fellow citizens, of Elkton, Mary
land.
Resolce, That though our loss is his
eternal gain in the mansions of everlasting
bliss, we shall never cease to revere his
memory. We recognize him as not only a
lover Of duty and right, but a doer of it.
Res0lced, That we will endeavor to hum
bly, emulate his manly devotion to princi-
pie and christianity, by standing together
in our own defense when uniustly assaulted,
and by linking our interests firm in the
bonds of union, we press onward to the
hill of science, even the hill of Zion.
Resoloed, That with deep sorrow in our
hearts, we hereby respectfully tender to
his relatives and friends our sympathy in
their bereavement. Though we will no
more be honored with his presence in this
world, yet we have his bright example as
a guide, which, if persued, leads to the
heavenly Canaan. Such a friend, such a
brother, his record is a model to all good
and true followers of Christ.

RUNAWAYS.

On Saturday last, Mr.. Robt. Rawlings
horses, frightened by an engine, broke
loose from where they were hitched at Mr..
Bucks saw mill, and proceeded up town
with the wagon, at a rate of speed too
rapid for safety. They collided with Mr..
J. Bucks buggy, in front of Frazer's drug
store, tearing off wheel, otherwise iniur-
ing it and breaking off the hitching post.
In front of Mr.. katZ's store they left the
hind carriage of the wagon and brought up
so suddenly between another wagon and
the stone wall of the culvert at Squire
Beach's that the tongue of one and the
coupling pole of the other were broken
and one of the horses went down, but not
out, for neither was at all hurt.
On Monday, Buckwheat, probably dis
gusted from having been withdrawn from
the Lancaster races, induced a companion
to leave their stable and take a run through
town. They did-part of the town-and
then quietly submitted to be captured
without being at all heated. Yesterday, a
horse took french leave down town and
proceeded up street on run to its stable
without doing any damage to itself or
buggy. 1t was driven Immediately after
wards and did not seem to be frightened.
These frolics among the horses must be
the result OF some injection from The
racing season. But pedestrians, as well as
other travellers in our streets, would prefer
them selecting some other race course.
THE BLACKNEss OF DARKNESS
came upon US, last Saturday night, and
Sunday morning was ushered in by vio-
lent storm. The wind blew perfect gale,
the river heaved and swelled and the moor
ed boats danced like feathers upon its
bosom. Long angry waves chased each
other across its surface and spent their fury
against the RATS and wharves in ceaseless
foam. Occasionally the clouds were rent
asunder and showed their silvery lining.
1t reminded one that on life S rough and
rugged road there are clouds that DER
Swallowed and storms that appall, but be-
hind them all it has a goal in radiant hues
of light.
The river rose suddenly during Sunday
night and great quantities of drift wood
came down. The water was over some of
the wharfs. 1t is still high, although fall
len very much from what it was on Mon
day morning.

BOLD ROBBERY. Thursday night of
last week, the dwelling house of Edward j.
jackson, at Brickley's Mills, in the upper
part of the county, was broken into while
the family were asleep. After ransacking
the house, the thieves entered the room
where Mr.. Jackson and his wife were sleep
ing, and took his pocket book containing
$2J or $50 from his pantaloon's pocket.
They then went to his sons room amp
relieved his pockets of S. or 81. On the
same night, the house of David Rea, a
neighbor of Jackson, was robbed, it is
supposed, by the same parties. Here they
effected an entrance through an open win
dow, and boldly entering the room where
Mr.. Rea and family were sleeping, secured
his pocket book containing $50, and gold
watch In both instances they made their
escape without awakening any Of the mem
bers of the family. Two tramps who were
seen lurking in the neighborhood on Thurs
day afternoon, are supposed to be the
thieves. They were man and a youth.
The youth having very long hair, (redl
presented a very feminine appearance, and
is suspected to be girl in boys clothing.
No description is given of the man.

UNASSAILABLE.

Whatever individual preferences may be
entertained, there can hardly be a doubt
that. all things considered, the nomination
of Gov. Hayes for President is the strong
est that the Republican party could make
at the present time. AS soldier, legislator,
Governor, and citizen, he stands before the
country perfectly unassalable.
