do his duty and promptly arrest the offend
ers and have them fined.
-Our former fellow citizen, of Port DC
post, Woodfori Abrahams ESD. now resi-
dent in Baltimore, and whose private col
lection of paintings and works of art is one
of the finest i'll that city, is about to
further improve it by the addition Of two
marble statues purchased in Rome by his
daughter, who is now in Europe. The
statues, one of which is named Cupid
Veiled," are reported by the Baltimore
,Sun as now awaiting appraisemcnt at the
custom house.
On last Monday, citizen of the town
when somewhat intoxicated, was arrested
for driving his horse in a furious manner
through the streets and trying to drive it
into the Office of one Of the lawyers Con
stable Foard attempted to arrest him near
the junction of Main and Bridge Streets
but was unable to do so, until Sheriff
Boulder and Eailiff ShocRley came to his
assistance, when, after Il desperate 'strug
gle he was arrested and lodged in Jail. On
Tuesday morning, he had hearing before
Squire Howard, who Id him in $500 bail,
to keep the peace. 1t is to be hoped that
the circus will stop.
1t is the easiest thing in the world to
distinguish Il pair of lovers from a married
couple or their way up North Street to the
depot, while the whistle blows at Go
or,Ss;nr r..rsJ are iurcrS, you Will see
the nab considerably grasp all the bun
dies, bags, and umbrellas, while he lovingly
lisps: "Thus, dearest Belinda, will l bear
all your burdens through life: come, love,
come ard fly with me- If he he . mar
riei man, he'll bolt ahead, leaving her to
lug her parcels, and bawl out, " Priscilla
Jane, how slow you are: can't you trot
along faster; We'll be left, sure" Strange
what difference marriage makes. Maid
ems Of tender age, note this. It's no SLAM
der Oh your Charles Augustus. They all
do it.
The Free Methodist camp meeting, in
ricketts, grove, north of Elkton, commenced
last Wednesday. The +. S. LaDue, of
Allentown, Pa. Rev. William Gould, Of
Brooklyn; S. V. McNey, of Beach Pond,
Pa; and Rev. Jos. Travis, of Philadelphia,
have been in attendance and will probably
remain till the meeting closes, which will
be sometime next week. The meetings
have been well, but not Largely, attended.
The practicablity and purity of the doe
-, - ~ L.,
of Wesley, rs well as their costume and
manners. are said to be identical with
those OF Asbury ard his contemporaries, and
their great object seems to be to restore
Methodsm to its primitive simplicity and
purity.
-Messrs. D. Scott & Brother have COM
menced the manufacture of a Bone rhos.
phate at their mill near the bridge. From
the analysis of this phosphate, recently
made by Mr.. Leslie Robinson, analytical
chemist of Baltimore We are warranted in
say ing that it will compare fayorably with
the best and is far superior to most brands
in the market. The old and reliable finn
have every facility for the manufacture of
this article. Their bone mill being on the
wharf, they have the advantage Of water
transportation and dealing directly with the
consumer, can afford to sell their phosphate
at a reasonable advance above the net cost
of manufacturing. The new article is in
tended to supply the wants of those who
prefer it, but not to suspend the use Of
fi,cir iIuTh {,r,ulp,l l5nra Low Of
which they have on hand and will dispose
Of to those who prefer it, at reasonable
rates.
Miss Martha Biddle, who with Miss
Helen a. McCauley are the successful
teachers of the New Leeds public school,
showed us, on Wednesday, a number Of
unusually creditabe specimens of drawing
by number of their pnpils. A head, by
Lizzie Wood, descendant of the old Les
lie family of Cecil, one Of whom was the
celebrated artist of that name, shows I'M
doubted natural talent, which should be
developed by proper training. School maps
drawn by Bell aud Georgia Harlan, Annie
Founders, Florence Burke, Carrie Van
sart, VIM. Burke, Willard Wood, Thomas
Settle and Nette Harvey all cvince the pos
session of innate ability in outlining, BY
all means, let the School Commissioners
furnish the necessary materials, drawing
paper, pencils, rubber, &c, to cultivate so
useful talent. If the teachers are ex-
pected to instruct their pupils in drawing,
the schools should be provided with the
requisite materials
