TEMPERANCE MEETINGS.


A Committee has been appointed to wait
on the Town Commissioners to obtain per-
mission for holding one or more public
Temperance meetings on the street in
" Rum Square" 1t is proposed to hold
them after the manner of meetings in
Philadelphia and other cities Prominent
temperance advocates will be present and
address the meetings.
THE FESTIVAL
for the benefit of the public schools was
largely attended on Tuesday night, al
though the storm prevented many from the
country being present to contribute from
their means for the good cause. Net
proceeds SOL or S62.
THE AID SOCIETY
of the NJ. f. Church propose holding a
Festival, and perhaps Supper, June 10Th,
IN the Odd Fellows Hall, to enlarge the
cash in their treasury for future use. The
Society will hold special meeting to
make different arrangements, Friday night
June Sth.
PLANT STOLEN.
Some one not having the fear of the law
before their eyes broken open the back
gate of Capt. Shows yard, on Tuesday
night, and helped themselves to plants that
the Capt..had set out for his own use He
has been liberal in supplying persons that
desired plants, and if they had called on
him in person he would have preferred
giving them supply.
OUR BANK,
in order to accommodate depositors at Havre
de Grace, sends down to that place Re-
ceivng Teller two or three times a week
to receive deposits. This is an accommoda-
ton that many of the citizens of that
place avail themselves of.
THE SHOWERS
of the last few days have frightened the
faces of our farmers. Oats, corn and gain
needed rain badly, and the supply has been
ample for the present. From appearances
our wheat harvest will be much earlier
than usual, and the prospect for a fair yield
is good.

Robbery.

On Sunday night last, the store Of Sim
coe & Son, at North East, was entered and
robbed of goods and money to the amount
of 5000 to 500. The burglary was COM
mitted by breaking in the rear of the
building. 1t is supposed the goods were
carried away in a vehicle, as the fresh
marks of wheels were seen in the rear of
the store the next morning. A bag of
specie, containing about $50 was taken.
Among the merchandise taken was the
contents of the counter show case, consist
ing of jewelry and fancy articles, 4 guam
tity of dry goods, boots and shoes, hats
and caps, etc. No clue to the thieves has
yet been obtained. The same night Whit
aker's store, at Principle Furnace, was
robbed of a quantity of goods, the value of
which we were unable to ascertain. We
understand, that upon the same night a
store at Middletown, and one New Castle,
Del, were burg larized. 1t looks very much
as though an organized band of robbers
are operating in this section. Suspicious
characters were seen around North East Il
day or two previous to the robbery, since
which time they have been non est.

On Tuesday evening next, the 18th inst,
at Odd Fellows Hall, grand vocal and
instrumental concert of home and foreign
talent will be given for the benefit of Prof.
Fohrman, as token Of appreciation upon
the part of our citizens of the valuable
assistance rendered by him in 4 number of
benevolent movements. The very best mu-
steal talent of Elkton will participate, with
a number from abroad. Prominent among
the latter is Miss NJ. Perdriaux Kelly, one
of the finest amateur singers of Philade1-
phia, who has kindly and gratuitously con-
scented to appear. Miss X. has clear,
sweet and distinct contralto voice, and if
nothing occurs to prevent, the people of
Elkton and neighborhood may anticipate
rich musical treat in the fine selections she
has made. No lover of good music should
fail to be present.

Tent Meetings.

Rev. William Gould, popular and we'll
known Gospel evangelist of New York,
proposes to hold series of meetings in
this place, commencing on the evening of
Friday next, the 18th instant, to continue
several days. The tent or tabernacle used
by him will comfortably accommodate 500
persons, and will be pitched in a convenient
locality. 1t will be supplied with comfort
able seats. Three services will be held
each day-morning, afternoon and night,
and in these Mr.. Gould will be assisted by
several workers from Philadelphia. Some
of the workers in these meetings are old
friends of, and colaborers with, the Rev.
Fay II. Purdy, whose labors were so sue
cessful here few years ago. We are re-
quested to extend cordial invitation to
the public to attend these meetings.

Holly System of Water Works.

At cost in money of a 1.-THE of the
amount that has been lost by fire in this
place, within a few years past, Elkton
could be made comparatively safe from its
ravages. Our chief and in fact only lack
is in the supply of water. The engines
are sufficient when properly supplied. At
a cost, probably not exceeding $4,000, this
want could be fully met; and further, the
dwellings of such of our citizens as desired
it, could be furnished also. The Holly pat
ent, the cheapest and most effective water
works for supplying small towns, would
meet our wants exactly. At head of Elk
Mills all the power needed is available.
Who will move in the matter? Our space
is too limited to undertake description of
the system we mention. All interested
however, can obtain all necessary informa-
ton at the office of F. A. Ellis, Esq.

MARIA De MEDIcI.--In narrow,
wretched little street in the famous city of
Cologne, and within stones throw of its
magnificent cathedral, stands mean, low,
weather beaten house, which is one of the
land marks of history for here died in
squalid misery one of the most famous
women of which history contains any re-
cord. She was driven out of France by
her son and became a wandering fugitive
In succession England, Germany and Swift
erland drove her away from Their contine',
till at last, deserted by everyone, sick and
dying, she found her way to Cologne, and
there, in a wretched tenement, persisted,
almost of starvation and neglect, the wife,
the mother, the daughter of king; what
would she have given in her dire extremity
for paper of Duryea's Improved Corn
Starch-but though she could not procure
it You can get it and Duryea's Satin Gloss
Starch by inqurng of any respectable
grocer. They are the best in the world
try them.

A TERRIBLE CYCLoNE.-The town of
Vincennis, Ind, was almost entirely de-
stroyed by a tornado, on Monday last
The most prominent buildings destroyed
were the Court House, three Churches,
twenty business houses and two schools,
besides these, one hundred and fifty resi-
dences were destroyed or damaged either
by wind or fire. Fourteen bodies have
thus far been found. There are great
many wounded. The damage to property
is estimated at 100000. During the tor
nado the town took fire and some damage
was done this way. One child was killed
by the falling of school house. There is
great excitement over the catastrophe.

LARGE LOT OF LUMBER.

LARGE LOT OF LUMBER.
An unusually large lot of lumber passed
through the canal this week, from the up
per Delaware country. 1t was for MeSsrs.
Chapman & Son, of Baltimore and is in
tended for manufacture of furniture.
IMPROVEMENTS.
Some little is going on. Painting and
fixing up, on small scale generally. Mr..
Brady is building fine large barn on his
place near town.
OUR FARMERS
all look smilngly. The fine rains of this
week had money in it for them.
STRAWBERRIES.
The crop is good, but the berries gen
orally are not of fine quality as usual.
The finest we have seen were raised by Mr..
Thompson, on DR.. Massey's farm.
WHO is THE HANDsoMEsT MAN?
has been the question here for week past.
The Pike man undertook to solve this pro-
blem, but l guess he is as much in the dark
as ever. The diversity of opinion upon
the subject being very great, our maxim
is, that beauty is as beauty does," and
our young folks had better look more to
the head and heart than to the physiognomy.
BUSINESS is IMPROVING.
Our news boy, last week, raised money
enough to buy a new mouth organ, which
he footed bravely through the streets.

pare for the future, and the feebeness of
years came upon them unprepared.
LAST SUNDAY
was an occasion of more than usual inter
est, as Bishop Scott and Rev. Mr.. Manship
were with u.s. The latter preached both
here and at St. Paul's. The Sunday school
there is largely attended and in a very
tlourshing condition. AS we entered the
church there last Sabbath we were con-
fronted by scene that we never beheld
there before. Mr. Aldred had several of
the youth of the neighborhood, who are
too lazy to attend Sunday school, gathered
around him, while he explained the Bible.
We thought it step in the direction for
good, and inwardly wished that the older
heads, who collect on the church steps to
pass remarks, might be induced to join it.

Cards of Thanks.
FROM MIR. CROUCH.

The prevention of the destruction by fire
of my store and dwelling house, on the
morning of the 4th instant, exposed as it
was to the intense heat of the burning
buildings, with nothing but the narrow
street between, called forth upon the part
of those of my fellow citizens who under
took its protection almost superhuman ex-
ertion. TO these hereby extend my most
heartfelt thanks, and assure them that |
will ever gratefully remember their kind
ness in the time of need.

DETECTIVE ASSOCIATION
The Rising Sun Association for the de-
lection of thieves and recovery of stolen
property has not yet got fairly under way.
But by the interest taken in it by the
citizens and the interest taken in the citi
Zens affairs by the thieves, it will no doubt
soon be in running older

The undersigned takes this method of
returning thanks to the citizens of Elkton
for the great service rendered him in saving
from the flames the hotel building occupied
by him, and his household goods therein,
on the morning of the 4th instant. An
invitation is hereby extended to all who
participated in these efforts, to visit my

SABBATH SCHOOL FESTIVAL.

On Thursday of last week, at the resi-
dence of Rev. Mr.. Miller, pastor of St.
Mary's Church, was held a Sabbath school
festival, as we understand, for the benefit
of their library. The North East Cornet
Band discoursed some fine music on the
occaSion-gratis.
COMMUNION DAY AT NJ. E. CHURCH.
Sunday last was communion day at the
NJ. f. Church of this place. The number
of communicates present was quite large;
although a considerable number of last
Winters recruits were absent ON the occa-
sion. Can any one account for the heavy
additions in the cold Winter and CORE
spondingly depression in the Summer?
LITTLE MORE SYMPATHY.
1t is not our wish to criticise; but we
think, from the tenor of your correspondent
cps" little letter about the Chester acct
dent, he ought to have little more Sympa-
thy for his neighbors. 1t is very small
matter to find fault with others in cases of
accident. If he had had direction of things
they might have been equally as bad, and
perhaps worse. AS he is so well adapted
to welding the pen against those who are
placed in such unfortunate positions, why
does he not fling shot at the rumsellers,
who, with their traffic, kill more men, make
more widows and orphans, create more
misery and desolation than the late rebel
lion or the Eastern war, or all other wars
combined? Yet he holds his peace and
has not word to say in behalf of those
poor sufferers, or against the continued
iegalzation of the murderous business, or
the men who perpetrate the act But if
man enters into some honorable mechanical
pursuit, and employs a set of men and pays
them liberal wages for the support of them
and their families, and makes many homes
comfortable and happy, and by some I'M
forseen misfortune some of his employees
get killed or wounded, in his opinion it
seems the employer or superintendent
should be tried as criminals. But enough
of this.
STORE ENTERED.
On Sunday night of the 3rd, inst, the
store of Messrs. George Simcoe & Son was
entered by burglars, through a hole eight by
thirteen inches square, cut with brace and
bit, and escaped with some $500 worth of
goods, consisting Of ladies dress shoes,
fine silks and gents readymade clothing.
No clue to the perpetrators at this writing.
DID MUCH GOOD.
The late scasonable showers has done
much in the interest of the farmers, al
though some of the wheat in this section
has suffered considerably. The weight of
water added to it own was more than it
could bear, consequently it had to yield to
the pressure.

ported as being sold to Joseph Pennell, in
last weeks items, has, we are informed,
been res0ld to Chas. w. Shippers, of North
East, and Ben amin Robinson, of the Sixth
district. We hope the new firm will meet
with better success than some of their pre-
decessors, as failure seems to have been
the lot of nearly all who have undertaken
business at That stand. Be not discouraged,
gentlemen, want of strict attention to bust
ness has been the great cause.
