A number of our citizens are making pre-
paration for play in Odd Fellows Hall,
December 10Th and Goth. 1t is called Tie
Wept Of Wish Ton Wish. The proceeds are
for the purpose of purchasing piano for
entertainments in our public hail. Ii is
very difficult to borrow pianos. besides the
trouble and expense of getting them to and
from the hall. Mr.. Barry has charge and
will take an active part in the play aud will
be assisted by number of ladies and gen
tlemen. Admission, % cents for adults,
and - cents for children, on each evening.
These prices should fill the hall both nights.
INJURED.
Theodore J. Nanneman, son of Mr.. Dan
iel Vanneman, fell, while getting over the
fence of the NJ. j.. Church, Tuesday morn
ing, and badly Sprained his left ankle.
His brother procured carriage and con-
veyed him home, where the usual remedies
were applied.
TEMPERANCE.
Judge Daniels addressed tue weekly tenn
perance meeting in Odd Fellows Hall, OH
Tuesday night, in his usual earnest style.
The weather being Indictment, the meeting
was not as large as it generally is.
RAFTING.
The rise in the river brought few tim
Der RATS down. The uncertainty Of get
ting through here prevented more from
starting. as it would not do to trust our
river during the Winter months. This has
been bad year on the timber men, as but
little could be gotten to market.
OUR oUARRIES
For the last two months our quarries
have been busy shipping large quantities
of stone. The cities have made a wise
choice in using Belgian paving blocks for
their streets, and the demand has taken all
on hand and a large number Of men are
constantly employed i'll making more. Not
only the blocks are wanted, but all other
stone are required, and immense trains
leave our place every day on both roads.
The Philadelphia and Baltimore Central
has had so many bad washed places, they
are repairing their road with our stone. 1t
is to be hoped the demand will continue, as
it gives our laboring class employment.

Elk FERRY.-The remains of the old
ferry house, opposite Court House Point,
on the Elk Neck side OF the river, have
been taken down and transported to Ches-
apeake City, to be used in walling a cellar
there. This ferry house was probably more
than hundred years old, and the part Of
the walls that were standing till very re-
Gently were in remarkably good state of
preservation, and probably would have re-
manned to mark this site of the early civili-
cation of the country for long time to
come had not the civilization of more mod
ern times demanded their removal. Thus
the old ruins that link the present and the
past disappear and soon all trace OF them
will be lost and the places where they stood
be forgotten. We recently visited the old
ruin and found that parts of it were cover
ed with the vines of several trumpet flow
erS that chung to it as if nature was trying
toric place where the remorseless hand of
time had been at work SO long. A wren
had built its nest in one of the openings
in the wall from which ,ioist had been
long since removed. This was the only
sign of life or animation discernible about
the place. The pretty Elk, in all its gran
deur and beauty, still flows as prettily as
when hundred and fifty six years ago the
ferry was one of the most important ones
in the county, and the rude slaves of mas
ters near as rude as they broke the echoes
III the quiet valleys by the songs they sang
as with measured strokes they propelled
the ferry boat from shore to shore.
ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-John Brad
ley and John Reynolds, the two tramps
who are confined in Jail for stealing the
tools from J. p. Merritt's carpenter shop,
few weeks ago, made an attempt to escape
from the Jail, last Wednesday morning,
while the Sheriff and ialor were at break
fast. They provided themselves with Y
pitCo oi CibtEcS .lDe, WHICH the cuefl1I al
lows the prisoners to have for the purpose
of drying their clothes on, and tore
blanket into strips and tied horse shoe to
it and succeeded in throwing the horse
shoe in such "a manner as to pass the rope
around the iron bar in the middle of the
window in the Jail, near the angle formed
by the north wall of the Jail and the west
wall of the Jail yard. By means of the
rope and blankets they reached the second
story window of the Jail, which is but a
few feet from the top of the wall around
the yard. They had provided means to
bridge the intervening space. by tearing off
piece of washboard from the second story
of the Jail, and by placing the board from
the window sill to the top of the wall one
OF them succeeded in reaching it in safety,
but in doing so knocked the board off and
it fell to the ground. About this time one
of the other prisoners communicated his
suspicious to the .ailor and the two worthless
were discovered, one on the top of the wall
and the other clinging to the iron work in
the window. The Sheriff helped them
down and locked them up in separate cells,
where it is to be hoped they will be kept
till they are sent to the penitentiary. where
they probably ought to have been long ago.

DEPARTMENT AFFAIRS.

The affairs of the War, Navy, and Post
ONCE Departments, are not treated of at
much length in the message. The recon-
mendatious of the heads of these depart
ments are generally approved.
In treating of the subjects which come
guder the jurisdiction of the Interior De-
partment, deserved prominence is given in
the message to the Indian question. The
necessity of keeping good faith with the
Indians is strongly emphasized. The first
step towards cIvilizing the Indians recon-
mended is the encouragement of hunting
by allowing to them only a limited supply
of arms and ammunition and perSuadin-
them to exchange their ponies for cattle.
This, it is believed, will destroy or subdue
their war-like spirit. As fast as the In
dams give up hunting the President thinks
they should be placed on a smaller number
of reservations aud taught agriculture and
cattle raising; in teaching them the arts of
peace attention should be paid to the nat
uTal tastes of the Indians, and those who
prefer cattle raising to farming should be
allowed to choose their occupation. For
the protection of the Indians the extension
of the jurisdiction of the United States
Courts and an Indian police composed Of
Indians are recommended. The Compul-
sorry education of Indian children is also
recommended. The farms supported by
the Government the President says should
be used for the instruction of youth in the
schools and the farmers should visit the
farms managed by the Indians themselves
and give them the advice they need. On
the reservations Indian labor alone is rec
commended. The Investigations into the
conduct of Indian affairs which have been
made by the present Secretary Of the In-
terror are referred to and the good results
of them mentioned. Legislation providing
for the more certain discovery and preven-
ton of abuses in the Indian Service is call.

The message contains paragraphs in re
gard to the affairs of the District of Column
hia, agriculture and the Washington mon
umcnt, recommending the completion of
tie latter; also paragraphs on several other
subjects of less Importance.
