DIED.

PRICE.-At her residence, in Philadel.
phia, on March Is, 1878, AMELIA PRICE,
daughter of Jacob and Martha Price,
formerly Of this county.
Another useful, happy life is ended upon
earth,s aud she whom we so fondly loved
has gone to inherit the place prepared for
the people Of God. Possessing cheerful,
s11cnY. disposition she was erGeared to a
ness preceding her death we never ISrrr > "a
more patient sufferer, ever self forgetful
and ready to sympathize with others. She
never tired of religious conversation, but
loved to speak of the love of Jesus, and
when the dread summons came to her, a
hopeful spirit went out into the darkness
of the unknown future trusting in the
promises of the Saviour.
The funeral services were performed at
her home, on Tuesday, 10Th ult., by Rev.
DIR. Henson, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, of Philadelphia, after which the
remains were broug hit to New Leeds GENE
terry for interment, and appropriate ser
vices held in New Leeds Church, conducted
by Rev. J. G. Wilson.

Fashions THEN AND Now.-The girl
with the seal skin sacque always looks com
placently upon the approach of winter,
while the maiden without one Of these gar
mentS is engaged in circulating the report
that they are to be extremely unfashi onable.
She may be thoroughly correct, for fashions
ale continually changing. When we were
young, it was the fashion to build custard
pies square, but now they are constructed
round, and SO that they will yield six quar-
ters to the pie at the average boarding
house. One thing, however, continues
fashionable, and that is-rheumatism in its
various types. Upon this subject r. G.
kettlewell, gentleman connected with the
Baltimore Salvage Corps, says: From a
severe attack of rheumatism, in which the
leaders and chords of my legs were drawn
up in knots from the excessively acute pain
less than one third of a bottle of Keller
Roman Liniment entirely cured me-"

Mr.. Tome and the Murphy Movement

When n man, by successful operations,
with money or otherwise, has become a
power in the world sensible men learn to
attach Importance to their opinions Re-
Gently, at Port Deposit, the disciples of
the Murphy temperance movement desired
to obtain the use of the Methodist church
at that place for their meeting. The case
was submitted to the trustees. In the alb
sence of Mr.. Tome, one OF the trustees
they were tie, and IL was referred TO MIR
Tome. He was temperance man. He
asked if the Murphy movement was under
the auspices of the church. The answer
was, No. Then lie said, "You cannot
have the use of the church that has been
dedicated to the service of God, and when
ever the church takes hold OF temperance
as a part of its work, so far as / ali con-
cerned, this church property is at the dis
posal of the church in all of the depart
ments of its work.
That property had been donated lot and
building, by Mir. Tome to the church for
the worship of God. This wag the conclu-
sion of a wise man, and his conclusion de-
serves the consideration of all wise and
true Christian people.-PresJyterian Weekly

DRAMATIC REPRESENTATION.

The writer attended last evening, at the
Odd Fellows Hall, the dramatic representa-
ton of the "Jibernoinasy," gotten up by
the Port Deposit Amatuer Association for
the purpose Of aiding them in purchasing
a piano for use in the hall. The several
characters were well represented; MIR. Barry
taking the leading part as the "Jiber-
noinasy," q" Nick of the Woods, " Bloody
Nathan which characters he we'll sus-
tanned, though his forte is in the comic
and burlesque, and in which his many
friends would always prefer to see him.

which Ned Forrest in his palmiest days
would have been proud legs and all

GENTLY, though his voice was much against
its effectiveness. The lady characters were
we'll sustained by Miss Knight, the Misses
Bromfield, Miss keavany and Miss kerwin.
Take it altogether, it was very good, and
highly appreciated by the large audience.
The most notable feature, however, was
the splendid scenery gotten up expressly
for the occasion, and painted by our gifted
townsman, Mr.. Samuel Brown; and | ven
ture the remark that, for truthfulness Of
design of the objects to be represented, the
several pieces of scenery painted by Mr..
Brown for this performance are seldom
surpassed. He certainly has artistic talents
of a very order, and should take every OPP
portunity to improve them.

A GULLY" BOVINE SToRY.-The lin
tied express north on the P, w. & B. Rail-
road, which arrives here about p. NJ, had
rather novel experience near Chase's Sta
ton, between Havre de Grace and Balti-
more, on Friday. The train was making a
mile a minute, when a large bull on the
track, trying to make better time, was
struck by the locomotive and hurled into
the air. The train passed under the ami
NAL, which fell on the track in the rear of
the last car dead, but not mutilated. This
statement is given as a fact, though it
sounds like tiction.-Epery EUening.

THE NEW METHODIST HYMN Book
The Rev. D. c. Ridgway, on Sunday morn
ing last, announced the new hymn book as
ready for delivery. The old ~book, whose
place it fills, has been in use about thirty
years, and doubtless many Methodists will,
from their attachment for the old, look
with some disfavor upon the new book.
The latter, however, has been prepared
with great care by prominent men of the
church, and who are recognized as the most
expert hymrologists of the denomination.
Mr.. Ridgway is agent in Elkton for the
sale of it.

SELLING WITHOUT LICENsE.-Jacob J..
Rover, who claims to be tie patentee of a
gauge designed to be attached to knives
used for pairing fruit, etc, to regulate the
thickness Of the pairing; and Ralph Crots-
ley, who was his "man friday came to
Eikton the latter part of last week to dis
pose Of the patent gauge and some other
labor saving utensils. The "man Friday
amused the crowd for time by some rather
clumsy tricks at leeerdemain, after which
Mr. Rover mounted the roStrum aud eXpa-
tiated upon the merits of his gauge. He
also had an instrument for cutting glass,
opening tin cans, and doing almost any
ton to the articles before mentioned, they
also disposed of shoe backing, and gave
away with each box sold a piece of brass
jewelry. The Professor $50 his man Fri
day called HIM claimed to be the manu-
facturer of the gauge, and said he never
took out license to sell, but gave any per-
son, purchasing the gauge, one of the other
utensils. Sheriff Boulder thought the twain
were violating the law. by selling without
license, and arrested them on Saturday
morning last and took them before Squire
Howard, who find them $25 each and costs
amounting to $40 each. They refused to
pay the fine, and Squire Howard commit
ted them 10 Jail, where they still remain.

DIR FISHERMEN, sc.


Our OILERS were gladdened, on Saturday
last, by the rapid rising of the Susquehana
and which on Sunday had attained to quite
a high stage, giving promise of the ex-
pected run of shad and herring. Some Of
our fishermen not having the fear of God or
the laws of the State at heart, were busy
on Sunday casting their nets in the stream.
Is there no way to prevent this dissertation
OF the Sabbath. Monday morning all were
busy and also Tuesday fishing day aud
night and were quite successful, catching
many shad, herring and rocktish They
were in high spirits with the impression
that good season fishing was now at hand
but on Wednesday the fish began to fall off,
and at this writing very few are being
caught. Our fishermen are satisfied now
that this run of fish was brought down by
the high river, having succeeded III passing
up during the low stage of the water, and
is not fresh run of shad from down the
bay, and which is confirmed by the fact
that they have not been catching any or
very few below Havre de Grace. Several
of the haulsrs in that locality, having failed
to make a fishing, have cut out, and others
are about to do the same. The truth is
the indiscriminate and reckless slaughtering
Oh SlldC anu herring III lie past SediS
in the destruction of their spawning grounds
by both OILERS and haulers are extermina-
ting the shad and herring in our waters,
and continuance of the present course for
a few years will leave but the remembrance
of them. The present high water will en-
able the lumber and timber men to run all
the RATS through that have been detained
waiting for a rise. They will begin to come
in with rush as soon as the river begins
to fall.
THE REV. BISHOP LAY,
of the Episcopal Church, was with US on
Sunday last, and conducted the morning
services in the church, and in the evening
concerned the following persons: Mr. Samuel

DEATH OF AN ESTEEMED CITIZEN.
On Tuesday last, by the noon train from
Baltimore, arrived the body of our old and
highly esteemed friend and former citizen,
James L. Maxwell, who died in Baltimore
on the night of Friday last, after lingering
at the point of death for some weeks Mr..
Maxwell was so we'll known and esteemed
by the citizens of Cecil county, having been
their representative at one time in the Leg
stature of the State, that any attempt on
the part of the writer to do Justice to his
memory would be out of place, but will
leave it TO ADLER hands. The funeral services
were held in the Presbyterian Church, of
which he had been so long an honored dea-
con and consistent member. The Rev. Mr..
SGuier, his long and most intimate friend
and former pastor, preached the funeral,
himself moved and affected to tears by the
loss of his dear friend and associate. The
remains were followed to Nottin CHAM Gene
terry by large concourse Of relatives and
friends.

of the kick of horse, and has been en-

MILLINERY IN ELKToN.-If there is any
thing that art can contrive or skill con-
struct, calculated to delight the feminine
heart, that one thing is love of a bon
net" 1t is the indispensable framework
in which is set the lovelier picture of fe-
male beauty, and must of necessity be an
important item in the bewilderng details
of modern lady's wardrobe. Elkton dis
plays, this season, not only an unusual en-
terprise of competition in the millinery
business, but, as consequence, the finest
exhibition of goods ever offered its citizens.
Yesterday and to-day were set apart as
"opening days. when, initiating the
larger centers of fashion, it tempts the eye
of one sex and plays havoc with the purse
of the other. Look at her emporums, all
concentrated in single block and each
astir with the long looked for activity of
reviving trade in trimmings and returning
business in bonnets. Mrs. Gutenberg, affa-
BILE and attentive, almost compelling pur-
chase by her agreeable manner at the show
case. Mrs. Scott enterprising, reliable and
devoted to her customers interests. Mrs.
Hall and Miss Mary Henry, popular, pleas
ant and persistent in attention to the wants
of their patrons. Mrs. Nelson, proverbiaily
obliging, painstaking and courteous. Mrs.
Rhoades, Industrious, polite and unpreten-
tious; and last, but not least, Miss Eliza
Leach, apparently everlasting, and spright
IL day as when years ago she first cater
ed to the wants of Elkton society. Fastidi-
GUS indeed must be the taste that cannot
indulge in Elkton its most capIicious want.

THE RICHIE ORCHESTRA CoNCERT.--
Limited space only allows us to say that
Mr.. Rtchie's Orchestra gave the most
agreeable musical entertainment at Odd
Fellows Hall, on Thursday evening, ever
given in that building. Not since the Goth
of September 1S57-nearly 81 years ago
when Simon Hassers Company from Phil
adelphia rendered the best orchestral music
ever heard at Elkton, have we enjoyed as
artistically executed programme as that of
Thursday evening. 1t is scarcely necessary
to repeat the trite statement that the audi
ence was small. OF course it was. 1t par
took of the inevitable character of every
other enterprise extaut i'll Elkton-in the
amusement or entertainment line at least.
Richie is a conscientious and pansttsi nj g
caterer for the public entertainment, and
we regret to have to record our apparent
lack OF appreciation of him. Were his
company, instead of artistic performers,
a band OF strolling fiddlers, making merry
with banjo and bones we doubt not, they
would go back to Wilmington with more
dimes in their pockets.
