The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1877-05-26

owners of fast Dags can't resist the tempta-
ton of showing their speed, he pounces
down on them like ga thousand of bricks "
and fines them for fast driving.
But we must revert to tn, granite and
the quarries. There are several of them
and room for great many more. }. W..
Malone, McClenahan & Bro, Keaveny &
Dutfey, Rice ~ Durgan, 4. Strouts & Sons,
Williams & Reside, and Daniel Haggarty
of Baltimore, each have quarries; the lat
ter one is used exclusively for the notorious
Jones Falls Improvements in Baltimore
These firms employ about 300 hands, which
is quite matter to the laborng commun-
ity of Port.
Armstrong q Co. employ full force at
their foundry casting stoves, which they
dispose of in large quantities, sending
many of them to the South.
j. Fl. Pugh & Co.-being J. Howard
Pugh, of New Jersey, member of Con-
gress, and good Republican-still has the
interest of Port at heart, and keeps large
supply of sash, doors, shutters and build
ers' material on hand here, the manufac-
/. turing formerly done here having been
transferred to Baltimore.
Squire S. Beach fixes up the time pieces
and .iewelry and also dispenses the law ::
while VIM. Wilson confines his attention
exclusively to the time pieces and iewelry.
DR.. Loag and DR.. Smith attend to the
incisors, bicuspids and decayed molars of the
people of Port, and it is such stony place
We think it good location for dentist.
Drs. Miner, Mccullough and Shure prac-
tice their profession in Port, and Drs. Evans
and Cromwell are located just outside. So,
for healthy place, Port has an abundant
supply of medical skill.
Of course the bank and the tall tower
and the memorial church are still there,
and likely to be there for long time to come,
monuments of the energy, enterprise and
generosity of their founder and builder.
There is one queer thing in Port. We
never saw the like any where else. We
refer to the house in the middle of the
street, where the man carries on cabinet
making.
We found the people of Port engaged in
labor of love-" the getting up of a con-
cert and readings for the benefit of Mr.. A.
l.. Barry, who has always been prompt and
efficient in rendering his aid upon like occa-
sions IN behalf OF others; this entertain
ment being intended as compliment as
well as benefit.
We were sorry we had not time to visit
the man of many initials that runs the
school in Port, and hear tune on "thdt
organ' and see the marbles, strings, ETC.,
that he amuseS his pupils with, and get
sight of the book that told all about "calis-
Menics that the fat man promised to send
him. We hope he has got the book and
learned the science by this time; it would
be so delightful to practice it this hot
weather. Wish we had had time to have
called and got the loan of the book: posi-
bly, it might be pleasant reading. How
ever we had not time. and so we took the
evening train and HE'D us up near the edge
of the big river and along the side of the
Octoraro Creek and up Basin Run, and
stopped at Colora, where the hills meet,
and where we met many kind friends.
So ended the first day of our life as
Bohemian. In our next we will tell you
about Colora. QUILP.
