Not having seen any items from this
place for some time, and thinking perhaps
your correspondent had gone to sleep, "or,
peradventule, he was on a Journey" we
take the liberty to send you few lines for
your inspection and publication, if you
deem them worthy of note.
NEW LAMPS.
Two of our worthy citizens, Mr.. John
Mole and DIR. Housekeeper, not feeling
disposed to be overed in the way of i'm
provement by our town authorities, have
each placed in front of their places of bust
ness beautiful lamp, which not only adds
to the convenience of pedestrians as well
as themselves, but is complete advertise
ment of their business. The advertise
ments are placed in legible letters on the
glass. On Sabbath evening last, they were
the only two lamps lit. Whether the au-
thorities were out of oil, or trying to prac-
tice a little piece Of economy by using dark
lanterns, we have not been fully informed.
MOVED.
On Saturday, Goth ult., Chas. w. Bruce,
cigar maker, had public sale, sold off his
effects, and on Tuesday last moved his
family to the city of Wilmington, Del,
where perhaps he may find more coli
genial cline.
woEKINGMEN's CONVENTION.
The Workingmen's delegates met in con-
vention on Tuesday last, and nominated
ticket which will be found in another
column.
DEATH.
On Saturday last, Walter infant son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Bennett, was called
suddenly to the spirit land. The funeral
took place on Sabbath evening. the services
being conducted by Rev. J. A. Is. Wilson.
SEVERELY INJURED.
On Saturday last, Joseph Shallcross,
young man of this town, while cunning,
had his right bad severely lacerated by the
accidental discharge of his gun. 1t is
feared two of his fingers will have to be
amputated.
DIsGRACEFUL.
On Saturday night last, a number Of
North East rowdies got drunk and dis
orderly, making the night hideous with
their vile language. They have since found
it convenient to get up and git" Some
of them have been well raised. but seem
to be possessed with a mania to disgrace
and wound those who are related to them
as much as possible.
NEW WHISKY SELLER.
We have new whisky seller in place of
an old one. This time young man has
left respectable and honest occu patton for
this murderouS traffic. We suppose the
destinations of white shirt seven days in
the week, and IA chance to wear his Sunday
clothes every day, was too much for him.
Poor fellow, we pity him! We thought he
had more principle, but the end is not yet
OUR CITY FATHERS.
Two of our Town Commissioners, we
understand, have either resigned or intend
to resign their places in the Board
IMPROVEMENTS.
The spirit of improvement is brisking
up around us. Rev. Samuel Logan, of
Charlestown, has erected a blacksmith aud
wheelwright shop, on his property, on the
Port Deposit road, ] miles from this town,
where he expects to begin work immedi
ately. Robert X. Cameron is building a
dwelling house, on his farm, near this place.
THE STORM.
On Thursday we were visited with one
of the heaviest rains for many years. The
North East Creek was raised to an unprece-
denied height. About fifty feet of the mid
die of Shannon dam of the Mccullough
Iron Co. was swept out to foundation.
The water run through the culvert that
crosses the road between North East and
Shannon Mills, and was on the floor of the
new county bridge, near the iron works.
The brick dry house of Mr.. Whitehead was
entirely demolished; also his factory dam
and nearly all his race bank was swept out
| clean; fences seriously damaged along the
creek and wheat fields washed to a fearful
extent. Damages heavy with both parties
named. The floor of Mearns bridge, over
Little North East creek, was floated against
the lower side of the bridge, killing lot
of geese for Mr.. VIM. r. Mearns, which
had sought shelter in the bridge.
sB Exercise is absolutely essential to
the healthy condition of the body, yet there
are but very few forms of exercise entirely
flee from the liability to Sprins or extreme
| muscular soreness; to remove these perni-
cious effects of exercise, Keller's Roman
Linament is the best remedy known.
