SABBATH SCHOOL ORGANIZATION.

The reorganization of our Sabbath school
and the election of officers took place, on
Sunday last, under the supervision of the
pastor, Rev. l.. W. Laytield. There was a
very fair attendance, of children but the
absence of adults was very noticeable. We
suppose the weather was too hot for any
enc to so to church except children.

FUNERAL SERVICES.

FUNERAL SERVICES.
The funeral of Doctor John Evans, from,
his late residence, on Sunday afternoon
last, was attended by very large con
course of citizens of Cecil and Hartford
counties. A special train of cars was run
from Havre de Grace and Perryville, bring
ing about seventy passengers and Capt.
Emil Holm brought quite a large number
from Hartford with his ferry boat which
was run expressly for that purpose. Over
one hundred carriages left the house.
THE CuILDREN's DAY
was celebrated in the NJ. E. Church, on
Sunday afternoon, the platform and altar
being very appropriately decorated with
flowers, according well with the bright and
happy faces of the children. Rev. Mr..
Martindae addressed the school in his
usual effective manner The offerings for
the benefit of the school amounted to a
little over 81.
NEW TEMPERANCE HALL.
The contract for building the new tenn
perence hall has been awarded to Mr.. E. S.
West, he being the lowest bidder; price,
$500. He expects to have it completed by
grand dedication will be held, of which
due notice will be given.
LARGE HEAD.
Perry Cooper, a colored man working in
the quarres here, has wonderful speci-
men of humanity in little girl of his,
under seven years of age, who has head
on her shoulders measuring 2J5 inches in
ri ms or Tho of OF al
much interest among our physicians, from
the fact that with such an enormous head
she is a very bright intelligent child. 1t is
certainly remarkable case. She would be
a prize for Barnum to get hold of.
USING TELEPHONE.
Mr.. Joseph f. Reynolds, who is a men,
Der of the choir of the NJ. E. Church, put
up last week, as an experiment, small
telephone, with cord attached, extending
from near the organ in the church to his
residence, so that his aged mother, who is
unable to leave the house to worship in the
church, might derive some comfort if she
could hear the church music OF which she
is very fond. The experiment was in part
successful, sufficiently to show that, with
properly arranged Instruments, micro
phone for instance attached, it would be a
complete success. And this reminds me
Of a remark made by gentleman speaking
of the wonderful capacities of the newly
invented microphone, that it will not be
necessary to hurry out of bed Sunday morn
ings to get ready for church. All you would
have to do, would be TO place telephone
in the church, stretch cord from it to your
house, and attach it to IA microphone in your
chamber, and the thing would be complete.
You could lie in bed and enjoy the sermon
and music to your hearts content, and If
the sermon should happen to become prosy
and dull. which is sometimes the case. you
could enjoy a nap without disturbing the
congregation. Won't it be nice?

A SHARP THICK.-Last Wednesday night
week, horse that DR.. Sewers, the agent
of the Richmond nurseries, had left in
charge of VIM. Falls, the proprietor of the
Howard House, and which was pasturing
on the Elk Landing farm, escaped from the
field and made its way to the vicinity of
the Brick Meeting House, where it was
taken up by Benjamin E. Philips. Mr..
Falls very promptly advertised the missing
horse and offered a reward of s. for its
recovery. These facts came to the knowl-
edge of John NJ. Nckle, who waited upon
Mr.. Philips family in his absence and rep
resented himself as the son .in-law of Mr..
Falls, and then obtained possession of the
animal, which he brought tC Mr.. Falls and
received the reward, whereupon Mr.. Philips
waited upon the States Attorney with a
view of prosecuting Nickle for obtaining
money under false pretences. Here endeth
the first chapter of Nickle the II. The
second chapter will probably be written
after the meeting of the next Grand Jury

KILLED BY THE CARs.-Robt. Ii. Mckin-
ney, an old gentleman from near Rising
Sun, who was spending few days on a
visit to his relatives in Elkton, was acct
dentally killed on the railroad, a short dis
lance south of the bridge over the Big Elk,
on Thursday. He had been up the road
beyond the Elk creek to see one of the
hands employed to keep the track in order,
and was returning to town when he met an
extra freight train going north, and he
stepped from the north bound track to the
other one, short distance in front of the
9:93 A. NJ. mail train going south. The
engineer Immediately put on the air brake
and used every exertion to stop the train,
but was unable to do so, and in a moment
afterward it struck the unfortunate man
and hurled him a mangled and bleeding
mass to the side of the road. The corpse
was brought to the depot aud in the
absence of Coroner Litzenberg, Squire
Foard empanneled jury who rendered a
verdict III accordance with the facts.

CECIL HoNoRED AT PRINCEToN.-Cecil
county is honored this year in the gradual
ing class at Princeton, in the person of Mr..
J. Hester Hess, son of Mr.. Henry Hess,
of Fair Hill. He has achieved very en-
viable reputation at the college of New
Jersey. His class standing is not only
high, but he likewise carries off the honor
of the mathematical fellowship, which
realizes him 5000 for one year, if he pur-
sues for that period a mathematical course
either there or elsewhere. We learn that
he contemplates foreign course at Leip
zic. A fair memory and reasonable indus
try will achieve moderate collegiate sue
cess in the classics and bellies ettres, but for
pronounced saccess in the higher branches
of mathematics, brains also are reeded.
We congratulate Mr.. Hess friends on his
success.

ROBBERY At GLAsGow.-Last Sunday
morning, Guthrie's hotel, at Glasgow,
Del, was entered and robbed of gold
watch, $45 in money and other things to
the value of about 500. The thieves
were tracked to Browntown, a suburb of
Wilmington, where one Frank Jackson,
was arrested in den of negroes, which
led to considerable row, during which
one man was shot, but not seriously in
iured. During the row Jackson managed
to escape and has not since been heard of.

soon devoured his whole crop. He is of
the opinion that the depredations of the
birds were caused by the failure of the wild
berries.
Last Sunday was a busy day among
the colored people of this part of the
county A church on the old Frenchtown
and New Castle turnpike was to be dedi-
Gated, and early in the morning they be-
gan to pass through town in order to be on
the ground early. About 10 A. NJ, a no-top
buggy, containing three of these people, was
observed to be anchored in the creek near
Vinsinger's mill. The tide was high and
they had driven into the swelling flood till
the water nearly reached the horses back,
and nearly to their own necks as they sat
upon the submerged seat. Probably the
horse was afraid to 60 beyond his
depth, and so he called halt and stopped.
How long the trio remained in this predic-
ament we have not been informed, but
while they were there they manifested the
patience of Job and will probably hereafter
cross the bridge and give the fording as
wide berth as possible.

cess it was so lacerated that Inflammation
at once followed. For several days moth
ing could be swallowed by him, except a
little fluid administered in spoon. His
suffering during this time was intense, the
rough edges of the bone having cut their
course downwards, leaving Il raw and swol
len surface, which, to use his own lam
guage, felt like continuous torch light
procession marching up and down his mutt
lated thorax. Mush, as constant diet, is
possibly not so palatable as chickens, but
is cheaper and not half so dangerous. A
word to the wise is sufficient.

advices the case was not concluded.
On last Monday morning, as Vim.
Armstrong, of the Fourth district, was driv-
ing near the Elkton depot, his horses be-
came frightened, and while running rapidly
and in the act of turning up the plank road,
overthrow the dearborn, which threw Mr..
A. to the ground, his head and shoulders
striking it with much violence, stunning
him badly, while the frightened animals,
which became detached from the vehicle
ran swiftlyu the plank road. MIR. A.,
who happily was not seriously injured, was
removed to the Howard House and from
thence to his home.
AT the meeting of the sportsmen's club,
on the 18th inst, resolution was adopted
that it shall be the duty of each and every

detected in violating the same. The time

An old farmer, of the Fourth district,
who has large number of cherry trees,
and usually has large quantities of cherries
for sale, complains that the birds have
stolen them all this year. The cedar birds
were the first thieves that began to raid
upon his cherries, and he began to shoot
them forthwith, but whenever he shot one,
two or three others came to it's funeral,
and he gave up the contest in despair
The cedar birds were followed by a horde
of pratical black birds that completed the
destruction that the others had begun, and

The doctor went home and abused his

bier which had held the medicine of two
nights before, and which belonged to the
little widow, and dash it to thousand
fragments in the back yard; and the
bachelor, all that day and evening, set at
his third story window and played "Ihe

where the compass OF the instrument gave
