ACCIDENT Mrs. Samuel Keys and her
sister, Miss Hopkins of this town, met with
startling, though in its result not serious
accident, on Tuesday evening. They were
out driving, and, when just above Cherry
Hill, a portion of the harness gave way,
frightening the horse and causing her to
run. Presently the singletree broke, and
the pulling of the horse was thrown all on
one side; this turned the vehicle into the
ditch by the road side, capsizing it and
throwing the ladies cut. Mrs. Keys was
very seriously bruised, though no bones
were broken. Miss Hopkins escaped unin-
.ured. The accident happening near the
residence of Mr.. Arbuckle, good care was
taken of the ladies, and they were returned
to their homes by that gentleman.

SUICIDE OF A FORMER ELKToNIAN.-
Bowie Oden Mulliken, native of Prince
Georges county, and at one time resident
of Elkton and a reporter for the Democrat,
committed suicide by drowning, at Boston,
on Sunday. Mr.. Mullken was quite widely
known in this place. While here lie re-
sided part of his time with Mr.. Sweet
apple, at Marley, and part at the
Howard House. He was very respectfully
connected, but for some years was dis
sipated in his habits. When of age he
came into the possession of considerable
property, but squandered it in fast horses
and other irregular ways Afterwards he
drifted into the journalistic profession, and
through influence and persistency obtained
a position on the Philadelphia Ledger, the
Baltimore Sun and Ga=eHe the New York
World and Boston Post, but his habits
prevented him from keeping any position
very long. Lately he had Il transient posi-
ton on the Boston Post, and while in lit
of melancholy he drowned himself He
was twenty-nne years of age and unmar
ried.

AN ODD OFFENsE.-On Saturday after
noon last, while a horse, belonging to Thos.
Shivery, was standing hitched in front of
Mitchell's drug store, coloIed man named
Henry Bremen came along, and, stopping
in front of the animal, dealt it an unmer-
ciful blow in the face with his sledge ham,
mer fist. Not thinking this enough he
turned and struck it again on the side of
the head. The blow staggered the horse
and bruised its face badly. Bremen was
arrested and taken before Squire Foard,
who fined him fifty cents and costs, max
ing him bill of nearly three dollars in all
to pay for his little bit Of pleasantly.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT inaugur-
ated here by Mr.. Harry St. Clair, of Phila-
delphia, little more than week ago, has
steadily grown in Importance. On Satur-
day last, the services of Nelson j. Lee
Esq, the well known temperance lecturer
of Wilmington, Del, were secured to assist
in the work. He addressed large audi
ence in the Methodist Church, on Saturday
night, with great effect. Mr.. Lee is a forci-
BILE speaker and evidently possesses great
man himself, having once been hard
drinker. On Sunday, meetings were held
at Cherry Hill and Crouch's Chapel, and
at both places large numbers signed the
pledge. Nightly meetings are held in this
town. On Tuesday night, a very large
meeting was held on Court House square.
1t was addressed by Messrs. Lee and St.
Clair, and music was furnished by COM
pany of gentlemen. Quite number were
induced to place their names to the pledge.
MIR. St. Clair left on Wednesday morning
for Lewisville, Pa, where he had arranged
to begin series of meetings.
The work here continues in charge of
Mr.. Lee, who, on Thursday afternoon,
organized a children's society, or Band of
Hope. About thirty children were present
and enrolled themselves. In the evening,
the meeting was held in the Presbyterian
Church, and permanent organization eff.
fected, with the following officers:
President Hon. J. T. Mccullough; First

REPRESENTATIVES. is perhaps no branch
of education so much neglected rs good
penmanship. Not one teacher in hun
dred processes to know how to teach those
under them the art of writing, beyond that
laid down on the covers Of the copy books;
while many Of those travelling over the
country protesting to make the subject
speciality are very little better. Under this
condition of affairs many persons have be.
come somewhat incredulous in regard to
the claims of Professors of the art, and
sadly Indifferent to the Importance of writ
ing a good hand. 1t was in the face of
these circumstances that Prof. Jas A.
Congdon visited our town, last week, for
the purpose of securing a class in penman-
ship. The splendid specimens he placed
on exhibition at public places, with his
pleasant address, however, soon obtained
for him good class, which he taught in
the Academy. The course consisted of six
lessons and closed on Tuesday evening last
We have had the pleasure of converSing
with several of the pupils and of inspec
ting nearly all the copy books. Prof. C.'s
plan is to have the pupil on the first night
write the very best specimen he or she can
produce, to be preserved for comparison
We were surprised at the improvement
made by all the pupils. In many cases it
was remarkable. Some of the pupils
themselves even were surprised at the
progress they made. Not only is the style
greatly improved, but greater rapidity is
attained. We are satisfied that all the
Professor claims on his circulars has been
fully met in his teaching here. The style
of writing taught is plain, legible and neat.
The mode of instruction and manner of
writing are of all his own, the result of
years of application and study. The pupils
express themselves in highest terms of ad-
miration of Prof. C.'s polite and gentle
manly manner of instructions. A second
class was formed on Wednesday evening,
and is being instructed each evening. A
large number of those of the first course are
taking the second. We believe the Pro
fessor's visit to our town has been great
benefit, having created an interest in the
subject of penmanship that will not soon
subside.

TO Prevent Sickness,

The pronounced opinions of the ablest
Therapeutics indicat" that most diseases
are the direct result of Initiated Blood; and
as their successful treatment OF disease is
founded on the principle and practice of
eliminating this blood poison by .judicious
purgation, so this same principle, by rea-
sonahle adaptation to any case, is the
surest means to prevent disease.
Kellcrs Vegetable Life Drops are an alb
solute preventive ofdiscascs caused by i'm
purity Of the Blood, of Liver diseases, of
diseases ofthe Stomach, lntcstincs, etc. Its
corrective influence will prevent or short
en- attacks of Dyspepsia, Jatmdice, Merry
Gus Debility, Uterine disorders, Fever and
A"uc and all that numerous class of dis
eases induced bymalarial poison. To pre-
vent disease, then, purify the blood if
needed by using reliable Alternative and
purgative; this conioincd with the obscrv-
ance Of hygicnic directions, will establish
a condition of body il which health will
be the rule and disease the exception. A
careful perusal of the Manual of Purga-
tive and Depurative Medicine" will fully
illustrate the subject of which the above
IS Il mere outline, and will clearly indicate
the method of using Keller's Negotiable
Life Drops. To Je had at Drug Stores or

Pass HIM ARoUND.--The Havre de

weeks ago, a man calling himself Chas. w.
Hines, and protesting to be builder and
repairer of sewing machines, visited Havre
de Grace, stopped at the Hartford House.
He wore good clothes and by his blandish-
ment of speech and manner ingratitated
himself into the confidence of several of
our citizens, among the rest, our much
travelled friend, VIM. d. Simpson, the
jeweler, of whom he borrowed valuable
gold watch and chain, with the expressed
purpose of purchasing, if ON trial it ran
which it certainly must have done, as it
ran the wearer out of town between two
days, aud SO hurriedly that he jumped his
hotel bill and several other little obligations
incurred during his short sojourn in our
midst. This chap professed to hail from
Worcester, Mass, but his name does not
appear in Worcester's dictionary, but no
doubt a fellow of such enterprising habits
can afford several aliases He is tall,
straight and dark complexioned; talks
tluently and loud; smooth faced and wears
abundance of .jewelry, reward of his
sharp wits, no doubt. He is undoubtedly

TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.-There is at
present quite a stir and contention between
some of the road supervisors of the Fifth
district. This state of affairs is owing
chiefly to the action of the district Inspec-
tor, who, it appeared, according to law,
and at the express order of the County Com
miSsioners, has placed men to repair the
neglected roads of some supervisors. The
injured e. parties appeared before their
honors, last month, with doleful com
plants, this formed part of the unre-
ported proceedings of that Board but re-
ceived little consolation, curses cloud and
deep have been uttered against this
grand Democratic system of road mendng,
and unless the law is modified or repealed,
the party will lose some valuable devotees.
The action of the Inspector is very com
mendable, we think, as the county has been
swindled out of thousand of dollars in
the past by some of these pap-suckers.
But this present combat is a sort of family
quarrel, and may result like a Kilkenny
cat fight. These men are now engaged
repairing several sections of roads in this
district, the expense of which is deducted
out of the supervisors allowance-hence
the dispute.
