cursion train from Baltimore brought about
400 as we'll behaved and orderly people as
ever visited our town. While it is true
some got under the influence of liquor, we
had no quareling or fighting. Those of our
town who usually like to be full of the oh.
be joyful! on extra occasions, did not in
dulge, and while our streets were pretty
full of people all day, we have cause for
thankfulness for day of peace. Mr.. Miller,
of the Farmers & Commercial Hotel, built
large platform in the rear of his house
for dancing, and it was occupied nearly all
the time with those fond of such enjoyment

Stoecklein's saloon. Iemphill claims, that

all other newspaper men having but the

the greater part of the day. We are not
now, however, so much interested in the
shoes as is the man that wears Them
What we would like to know about it is,
why our neighbor left his shoes upon the
front steps? We're they too large to pass
through the door way, or was the hour late
and the'shoes creaky?

THE FOURTH ON THE RIvER-It
was a gala day on Elk River, on We'd
nesday. Never was there finer day
for enjoying to the full the pleasures of
sailing. The day was cool and pleas
ant and the breeze splendid Early in
the day all sorts Of white-winged craft
began moving out from the various
towns along the river, and before noon
its bosom was dotted all over with
them. Every available shady point was
taken possession of by picnic parties
A large number of Elkton gentlemen
sailed down to the place of w. P. How
ard, Esq, at the month of Back Greek,
and passed the day. On Welch Point
always a favorite spot-two large
picnic parties were assembled One
party came from Chesapeake City, the
main body, on a large tug, with others
in sail boats The other party came
from the surrounding shores in boats.
AT one time we counted sixteen sail of
pleasure boats lying off the point
But one accident occurred during the
day; that was the capsizing of small
boat containing several young men from
Elkton. No damage was done, except
the dampening of the occupants.

Mr.. and Mrs. Enoch McCullough-Jay ].
McCullough-of Rowlandsville, Md:
Would l could words of comfort send,
To cheer you in these sad, dark days,
And make you see that your best friend,
Although mysterious are his ways,
Doth chasten those whom he loves best.
If you could see, as you will see,
If not oday, in years to come,
Your babe from all life's SORROWS free,
And happy in his heavenly home,
You'd surely bow to Gods behest.

OUR COUNTY ROADs.-It is a mys-
terry to most people why Cecil, of all
other counties, is so afflicted with bad
roads. If the conundrum were put to
us, we in common with all others-out-
side of those having the matter in
charge would be forced to "give it up"
The many complaints in this direction
are not, as has been asserted, from,
chronic grumblers" and without foun-
daton." They have fact at the bottom
of them, to our certain knowledge. Go
in what direction you may, (within the
county, ten miles from this town, and
it matters not whether you be saint or
sinner words of Indignation will be
ierked and jolted out of you. If you
have doubts of this, try drive of ten
miles on the new Elk Neck road The
billy character of the country necessi
tates numerous asGeuts and doacentS
upon this road and even were the road
way and bridges in good condition it
would be none the pleasantest to drive
over but as they are now they are al
most impossible and even dangerous,
especially at night The approach ia
blpm Greek bridge is as complete q
trap as ever was set, and if somebody
is not shortly caught in it (unless re-
paired) we will be much mistaken.

Big CoRN.-Early on Monday morning
James F. Turner, of Colerain, Lancaster
county, brought to our office two speci-
men stalks of corn from his field of four
teen acres. The tallest stands six feet nine
inches high and measures eight feet six
inches to the tip of the longest blade.
Both are coming in tassel. This is truly
big corn, the largest we ever saw on the
first of July. This growth was attained in
fifty seven days after planting, and proves
good soil, good culture and good season for
corn. Is not Lancaster county little
ahead in the corn line? Let us hear from
Chester and Cecil.-O.ford Press, July 4.
Lancaster is surely little ahead of
Cecil, provided the stalks shown at the
Press" Office were fair specimens of
the entire field We noticed on We'd
nesday, in Elk Neck, several fields, per
haps half dozen, varying in size from
II to Is acres, in which the corn was,
we thought, extraordinarily forward for
the season, and over the entire field the
growth was regular In other fields
we saw large corn in places, but they
would not average SO we'll We have
the promise of specimens in day or
two from the Second district of what
is represented to be Misunderstanding
corn. When we see it we will give the
figures; but we have no hopes of beat
ing Lancaster county.
