CiarIk's Mammoth store and Store
House.

Dur curiosity was g~ratiiied yesterday by
q visit to Billy Clark's store and store
house, which ho has constructed in the
basement Of his building and under Mon
roc street The entire length of the ware
house is 40 feet, being equal to that of the
new Richmond building, and extends from
the store-front back to the Chinese quar-
tors; that portion under Monroe street is
two stories high. The striking evidence of
the large business done by this house, is
the fact that this immense space is filled
with goods, the fiour and bacon having to
be stored elsewhere for want Of space. The
great convenience Of having every article
within reach, and the advantage from stor-
ing goods in a cool and uniform tcmpera-
ture, where they are never exposed to sud
den changes of heat and cold, will be a
great item Of economy and gain to the pro-
prietor. The business lone here is ON so
large a scale as to defy any one to under
sell the established prices OF this house.
Every article needed by tue public, from a
goose yoke to a wooden pulpit, can be
found here, as the appearance Of the store
indicates, and there is no other establish
mont in the State which can surpass it
either in plan, dimensions, or variety aud
abundance Of goods kept, especially, his
large STOCK OF winter clothing.

HOUSES BUILDING.


Dear Wing, despite the hard times, i'm
provement seems to be the go with us; DR..
P. B. Housekeeper and William j. Clark
have both just completed their new and
commodious dwellings, and now J. S. Sim
coe, Esq, is building new double dwell
ing on Main street, also bakery and store
room Oh another lot on Main street, to be
occupied by Mr.. I. F. Williams.
TEMPERANCE LECTURE.
On Saturday evening, the 18th instant,
Capt. Brown gave us part of temperance
lecture, which was quite satisfactory as far
as he went, but in consequence of other
arrangements, had to leave for the $40 P.
tinued by Rev. Mr.. Murray. The meeting
was not as fully attended as on former
occasions, owing to the actions or conduct
of the late st. Clair, who, with his sophis-
try, has caused the friends of temperance
to look with suspicion on any stranger who
processes to be reformed drunkard. Mr..
ST. Clair has done much to lessen the con-
fdence of our people in those with whom
they have no acquaintance.
RACE TRACK.
J. L. Mcdaniel, Esq, is making a track
about half mile long and north of the
railroad, where he or any of his numer-
Gus friends can have an opportunity of
testing the speed of their nags. Mr.. d.
Mcdaniel has several fine colts, which no
doubt the boys can have the opportunity of
amusing themselves with when the long
Summer evenings put in an appearance. One
grand feature of it's location is the protec-
ton from the rays of tie sun by the hand
some oaks with their widespread tops form
ing natural aud beautiful awning for both
man and beast.
LOST FINE YOUNG MARE.
On Monday last, Mr.. Charles Hickey, of
the Howard farm lost a fine young mare of
six years, valued at two hundred dollars.
1t appears his horses were put in pasture
on the previous morning; the one referred
to was found with her fore leg broken
above the knee, consequently she had to be
knocked in the head. Mr.. Hickey is an
industrious man, with rather limited
means, consequently the loss is severely
felt.
HOW HE "FINED" THE OLD MAN.
A gentleman of our town, who has been
in the habit of tlogging his son for indulg
ing to much in "shut eye" partook too
freely of "tangle foot" himself few days
since, which rendered him unable to navi-
gate The son, who he has been in the
habit of chastising, gathered the old man
up in wheelbarrow, running him to and
fro on the street, occasionally upsetting
him; other times, when in full speed, would
stop suddenly, bringing the old mans head
up against the front of the wheelbarrow.
One of the neighbors asked" Bill, what
are you doing - "Ah," says Bill, 6 can
handle the old man to-day" Thus he
amused himself until tired, then took him
home. Thus you see it doesn't do for
those who live in glass houses to throw
stones -

and it's surroundings are pretty we'll fixed
in regard to stores, doctors, post Office,
Adams Express office, churches, and school,
house W. II. Cole has a good country
store here, as has Mr.. f. Owens. Dr..
George NJ. Stump resides but five minutes

the envy of some of the older practitioners
in the neighborhood. l.. W. Layfeld is
the pastor of the NJ. E. Church. Mr.. Aiken
is pastor of the Presbyterian part of our
community, which hold their service in the
school house, about ten minutes walk from
the depot.
MISSING FROM HOME.
Some little excitement was created here
on Sunday morning, over the mysterious
disappearance of Thomas Ward, son of
VIM. Ward, who resides about half mile
east of the town; and Notwithstanding the
fact that the country was hunted all around
the village, nothing was heard of him
until about three O. clock Monday morning,
when he came home, tired, hungry, and
unable to tell where he had been. 1t is
supposed he was little unsettled in his
mind.
is down in Delaware, sickness compelling
him to leave his flock for a while.
THE POTATO BuGGER
was here in all his glory last week, but the
recent cold snap has made them hunt klver.
A man from up the river was telling us
that we might expect another corps along
as soon as the weather settles, as they had
eaten all their potatoes and were offering
thirty eight and half cents for small
punches of the vines.
OUR TEMPERANCE MEETING
still continues, but somehow our Christian
brothers don't take the interest they
should; but if a poor old, lame, halt, and
half blind tramp comes along and happens
to speak little too loud, they are all inter
ested, and the amount of iron, lead and
nickle that they unload out of their hip
pockets is astonishing.
We have good temperance sign here;
the old stone hotel has the bar room and
first story all boarded up, and uninhabited.

REARRESTED.

One night last Spring man by the name
of Bachman, a moulder by trade, was ar
rested in the agricultural ware room of Mr..
Elliot Brown, in this town, into which he
had Just broken as was supposed for the
purpose of robbing. He was taken to
Elkton and there placed in the county Jail
to await the action OF the grand jury, but
no witnesses appearing against him he was
discharged from custody, and returned to
Port, where he has been in the employ OF
Armstrong & Co. On Thursday he was
again arrested, at the instance OF MIR. Jno.
Sherman and Mr.. Ball and on being
searched he was found to have on under
his own clothes, full suit of clothes, the
property of Mr.. Ball, also two revolvers,
one belonging to Mr.. Ball the other to
Sherman. Bachman and Ball boarded with
Mr.. Sherman. Bachman was taken before
Esquire Abrahams, who after hearing the
testimony, committed him to the county
jail again. His plea was that he was
drunk and did not know what he was dong

Last Tuesday night being very inclement,
the Odd Fellows Hall was not filled to the
extent it would otherwise have been, to
welcome Miss Minnie Mosher, on her second
appearance here. There were but few
vacant seats, however, and when Miss
Minnie entered, accompanied by her father
and Mr. J. NJ. McClenahan, she was enthu-
siastically cheered. The choir opened the
entertainment with chorus, with Miss
Emma Wilson at the organ, and during the
evening between each reading gave us some
fine pieces Miss Mosher's first piece "The
rfauu rin IN
that nearly every one in the audience had
heard recited by other professional readers,
was rendered in style so perfect as to
cast the remembrance of all others in the
shade. So with all the pieces given, her
representation of the different characters
in voice and manner could not have been
surpassed. We Port Deposit people may
not be as competent as some others to &C
curatey define what constitutes a star
reader, but Miss Minnie Mosher comes up
to our idea of lady elocutionst, and all
we ask is the privilege of again and again
sitting under the inspiration of her voice.
This is the unanimous decision of the large
and delighted audience in attendance.
DANGEROUSLY ILL.
Our esteemed fellow citizen, Mr.. John
J. Abrahams, is lying in very critical
condition at his residence, near Port De-
post, from an attack of paralysis which
struck him about 3 o'clock on Monday
morning paralyzing his right side. There
has been very little change in his condition
since; what change there is seems to be for
the better. His mind is not effected and
he is able to converse on business matters
as we'll as usual. Strangers and friends
outside of the family relations are not per-
mitted to see him, as the doctors require
him to be kept as quiet as possible.
