-Euoch and Alexander Richardson, two
colored denizens Of Cedar Till, came tn
Elkton, on Monday night last. and filled
themselves full of berzine, and in conse-
quence of which they became dsorderly
and threatened to break the peace. Bailin
Shockley found them perambula,ing the
streets and arrested and locked them up in
jail till the next morning, when they had a
hearing before Justice Foard. who fined
them I and costs, amounting to 81 10 EACH

We were shown, on Friday evening of
last week. 10y George \. Lee, At the meat
shop of John ). Crossmore, on North
street, very large Spanish mackerel. that
Mr.. Vim. II. Barry, of Baltimore, Md,
presented to Mr.. j. T. Lee This large
fish weighed ten pounds, and was about so
inches long. We failed to ascertain where
it was caught. But this species of fish
delights in the salt water of the ocean, and
I
Chesapeake bay. and we presume this fire
specimen was taken in the latter place.
We once had the pleasure of dining upon
one of these fish, that the crew of the
schooner we were on caught in the Gulf of
Mexico. and found it to be of fine flavor,
aud very delicious.
Last Saturday night, while Thomas
Way and William Brown. who reside in
the vicinity of the Rising sun, were return
ing home from court, and were driving
along the. pcad near College Green, their
horse became frightened in some mysteri-
Gus manner, and concluoeIi' nc souiu' Leave
them and go on ahead by himself. So he |
began To jump about, and finally succeeded
in freeing himself from the vehicle, which
was pretty nearly demolished. and the top
part OF which was landed on top OF the
fence by the road side. The two gentle
men were thrown out, but escaped with tri-
fling injuries about the head. The frac
tions animal was found some time after .
wards, about mile from the scene of the .
disaster, quietly grazing by the roadside, |
having Invested himself of all the harness.
1t ought TO be unnecessary TO caution
anybody against the dangerous practice of |
attempting to jump from the platform of |
a railroad car when the train is in motion.
Ye, nearly every day hairbreadth escapes /
are made by imprudent persons attempting /
this risky feat. On Monday evening. as
the 6. o'clock train was nearing the depot |
at Perryville, Mrs. wm. Peoples, OF Port |
Deposit, attempted to step upon the depot /
platform before the train had stopped. /
Unfortunately she slipped and fell, and /
being large, portly lady, made very
narrow escape, those witnessing her fall |
momentarily expecting to see her crushed
beneath the train. The next evening a
similar escape was made by a lady at the
Elkton depot, when attempting 10 leave
the platform of the car before the train had
come to a stand still. BE warned in time,
gentle readers, aud do not risk your lives
and limbs Ly this too common but very
dangerous practice.
If any thing in this world delights the
eye aud reioices the heart of the careful
honsekeeper it is 4 well spread table,
adorned with beautiful china, and spark
ling glassware. Even an ordinary meal
served ON nice china ware tastes better and
satisfies not only the eye, but the inner man,
better than when iudifierently served. We
never were more impressed by this fact
than when on 4 recent visit to the beautiful
china depot of Messrs. Metz X Nen, on
the south east corner of Ninth and Arch
streets, Philadelphia. Every variety, kind
aud style of glass ware and china are there
displayed. And at the most surprisingly
low price, too. We recommend our read
ers. when in that city, 10 visit their store
and inspect their stock. Whether pur-
chasing or not, they will find the proprie-
tors courteous and obiglug gentlemen, one
blessing in the shopping line not always
realized. Visit Metz & Nrff. if only to see
their elegant display of Christmas goods.
