MORE NFIDENcE MEN.-Tramps
scamps and loafers seem to be the curse of
our community. The latest was on Thurs
day. He gave the name of VIM. Wood,
of Belvidere, New Jersey, and stated that
he had been visiting the Centennial, and
had there been so unfortunate as to fall
among thieves and have his pocket picked
of his watch and money. He said he had
son in Havre de Grace and wanted to get
there. On this statement he secured small
sums from one or two persons.
The meanest transaction that he was
guilty of, however, was the robbing of a
poor mechanic OF his tools. He called at
the shop of Mr.. w. X. Nelson, cabinet
maker, and inquired for Mr.. Rambo, who
occupies the second story of the building.
Mr.. R. not being in, he then stated to Nell
son that he was mechanic, stranger in
town, knowing no one but Mr.. Rambo, and
that, having little job of work offered
him, he had come to borrow a saw, ham
mer and chisel. Mr.. N. loaned him the
tools, on his promise to return them at six
o'clock. OF course they were not returned.
He left in the six O clock train on a ticket
for Havre de Grace; and Mr. Wells, the
agent, says he had nothing with him. He
must, therefore, have disposed of the tools
in town. Whoever bought them of him,
cannot retain them without being even
more guilty than the scoundrel himself.

RED LION CAMP MEET Nc.
There was great cutlery on Sabbath
morning; every team that could be hired
was taken with grand rush for the camp
meeting at Red Lion. The old and young
We're up soon; and the fancy teams and
peach wagons with mules hitched up to
haul and jacks to ride, were off in time;
but it will be so-there must be religious
iroGcs as well as horse races. So the world
still ways ON.
BASE BALL.
The base ball match came off at Glasgow,
between the Chesapeake and Glasgow clubs,
on Thursday. The Cecil boys came home in
better spirits with this match, than when
the Warwick club left them. They beat
the Delaware boys three runs. They
brought home some swollen eyes, cut and
broken fingers, and heads mutldled by bad
whisky.
COUNTY BONDS.
There were some of our money men tigur-
ing last week, who wanted to know how
much they could give for them, SO that
their money might pay eight per cent; and
this makes us look and study how we
shall vote next time. When the Republi-
can party was at the county helm the tax
was lighter and the schools were kept run
ming nine months and there weren't any
bonds to be sold. Stop, you taxpayers,
and think before you ever cast another
vote. The last Legislature was grand
fraud; they legislated every thing to suit
the party, robhing every nn-keeper out of
part of his hard earnings. Come out this
Fall and let your stroke be felt in this cam
paign, and get ready for the scamps in 1877,
the time to send such fellows back bowling.

dwelling, on the road from Battle Swamp

kitchen and porch on the south side.
Mr. J. II. Miller, of the Farmers and Com
mercial Hotel, has placed in front of his
house a very neat sign. His livery and sale
stables is one of the best in the county.
FARMING.
Our farmers are busy hauling out fertil-
izers and ploughing, preparatory to the
Fall seeding. Some of them are so enter
prising as to be in town by 3 o'clock in the
morning, and run their horses through the
village in order to get the first load Of lime
out of boat that had just arrived. The
demand was so great that twenty five to
thirty wagons were waiting for their turn.
OUR COAL MERCHANTS,
VIM. S. Heckart. Esq, Messrs j. II. Row
land & Co.. and Messrs. J. Tome Il Co.
have laid in large supply of coal for the

On August 9Th, he intended going to your
city, on the 8 A. NJ. train, but permitted it
to pass the station before noticing it. He,
however, had his horses put to his carriage
and drove over. Mr.. Tome started, on
Thursday, on pleasure trip to Williams
port, Pa, Niagara Falls, and other places
of interest.
ENTERPRISE.
w. w. Nickel, Esq, the enterprising
proprietor of our coach shop, has been turn
ing out number of new carriages made to

excellent prospect for the balance of the

FESTIVALS.
A festival was held at Hickory Grove
School House, on the evening of July 29th
for the benefit of the Sabbath school
Notwithstanding the universal cry of hard
times, the clever little sum of one hundred
and twenty dollars was collected at the
above named festival. Another was held
in the Harmony Nj. p. Church, on the
evening of August 9TH. One hundred and
twenty five dollars were added to the treas
ury thereby, and the young and old had an
evening of social enjoyment together, which
was sadly marred, however, by
AN ACCIDENT,
which occurred early in the evening, to
Mr.. VIM. S. Cummins, of the Sth district.
Mr.. Cummns had driven over to the depot
after a box, which had arrived by express.
He was in the act of receiving the box into
his buggy, the lines lying loose over the
dash board, when the horse suddenly took
fright and ran rapidly down the steep, dan
gerous road leading from the depot to the
main highway. Near the bridge, which
spans the creek at the intersection of the
two roads, the vehicle struck telegraph
pole, smashing one wheel into splinters and
throwing Mr.. Cummins violently down the
steep bank. lie was taken to his brother S
residence, where his wounds were dressed
by Dr. r. b. Crothers, and pronounced
serious but not dangerous.
THE IRON WORKS
in our village, after short suspension,
have again resumed work. The McCul-
Tough Iron Company have a very fine
exhibit Of sheet iron in the Main Building
of the Centennial Exhibition, part of
which was manufactured at their mills in
this county.
CROPS.
The corn covering the sloping hillsides
adjacent to the Octoraro, is looking beanti-
fully, and promises an abundant yield.
Mr.. 5. F. Woodrow, residing near our vii
lage, has very fine peach orchard filed
with choice fruit, from which he expects to
derive considerable profit. There is pro
mise of an abundant crop of apples.

THE PEACH TRADE.

Ten boats pass through the canal every
night in the peach trade, and the smallest
one can carry five thousand baskets and
there are six of them that can take ten
thousand at load; and if the peaches sell
even at so cents a basket, which is a low
estimate, these two districts will have a
large cash account to foot up. Those that
got out of heart last year and cut their
trees down are repenting their folly.

near the Iron Works by Rev. Mr.. Wilson.

blessings of Gods earthly kingdom, and

Church was filled by Rev. T. Snowden

impressive sermon from Matthew IS: 81 to
30 inclusive, to an exceedingly large and
attentive audience, after which Rev. Will

males and thirteen females-all adults.
TRAMPS.
Tramps appear to be on the increase,
who from their numbers, have become an
interminable pest to this community
Many have been Intercepted as to the
cause of their situation, and find nineteen
out of twenty are the legitimate results Of
protligacy and drunkenness; men who have
made the rum mills their places of deposit,
and now it seems the sober and economical
portion of the people has to keep them in
bread, while the rum sellers are faring
sumptuously on the hard earnings of those
silly dupes.
THE M'CULLOUGH IRON COMPANY
are making general repairs, which adds
greatly to the appearance Of their property,
besides giving employment to quite num-
Der of persons who, otherwise, in all prob
ability, would be out of employment.-
Their works have resumed operations but
not giving full time to all their employees.
DISEASE AMONG THE DOGS.
There seems to be serious epidemic
among the canine race. AS many as three
of a day have passed off quietly. At first
they were supposed to be poisoned. Many
threats were INDUCED in, which only in
creased the fatality of the disease.
